Chapter 7
The remainder of the day was long and boring. Kent kept an eye out for Toby but only saw him in passing. True to his word, Toby kept everything strictly business. Kent missed his inappropriate comments and stolen glances or touches. Kent tried to reason away his behavior. He was simply missing the attention. Who wouldnât want to be found attractive to someone and be the center of attention?
Kent walked up the stairs to Tobyâs second-floor pack-provided apartment. He wasnât sure what he was doing visiting Toby, but he wanted to talk to his mate. He felt out of place in the world and insecure. Everything was changing, and he was unsure of where he stood in the new arrangement. Kent couldnât explain his sudden desire to speak to Toby. If he were honest with himself, heâd admit that he just wanted his mate. He didnât know what Toby could provide him, but he knew it was something only his mate could give him.
During the last eight years, he and Toby hadnât spoken often. Each birthday he would call to thank Toby for his gift, his expensive and exactly what he always wanted gift. Kent had called Toby a few other times throughout the years, always when he had major news to deliver. Toby was excited and asked the same questions each time like, âAre you happy? Is there anything you need?â and always, âAre you dating anyone?â Looking back now, he knew it was more than random small talk. Toby was trying to take care of him and also trying to find out if he was moving on in life. Funny to think, Kent had always hoped there was a twinge of jealousy or pang of longing in Tobyâs voice. As he aged, Kent told himself it was a stupid crush making him want reactions that didnât exist, but the truth was those feelings were there.
Now, here Kent stood at the outside of Tobyâs apartment with his hand raised to knock, wanting his mate and not caring that he was still mad at him for not telling him about being mates in the first place. Minutes passed with Kent staring at the door debating the intelligence of coming here. He thought Toby would have called him in by now or even have been at the door waiting. Toby seemed to know where Kent was or where he was going, even when Kent was busy avoiding him.
There was no point standing here like a dork. He knocked firmly against the thick wood. It sounded hollow as it resounded in the hallway. Kent began to get nervous when Toby didnât answer.
Kent knocked once more and then called out.
âToby, are you home?â
Kent leaned into the door to listen. The room was silent. Perhaps Toby was sleeping. Kent twisted the doorknob. It was unlocked, so he opened it then peeked his head inside. The lights were off. Kent breathed in deeply, Tobyâs faint scent filling his lungs and hardening his cock. Damn, Toby always smelled so good.
