Simon sat at his desk the following day, and he couldn't remember a time when he'd been more uncomfortable. Since the night at the hotel, he had spent the next three days walking around in a perpetual state of horniness. All someone had to do was mention his mate, and Simon's dick would stand to attention thinking it was about to get some action.

Lying on that damn bed next to his mate after their first dinner date and not being able to touch him more than the simple holding of hands had nearly killed Simon. He'd been close to saying fuck it and jumping Zack on several occasions. The only thing that had reined his wolf in was the thought of the young cub sleeping in the cot beside the bed. Instead they had spent hours whispering in the near dark getting to know one another. Funny stories were shared back and forth, and the more Simon heard about Sarah the more he wished he could have met her before she'd passed.

Simon had shared his worries with his mate about Rick and his increasingly erratic behaviour. He was at a loss as to explain what was wrong with his younger brother and hated the fact he might be hurting and hadn't told any of them. Zack had been wonderful and listened as Simon poured out his heart.

The time had passed so quickly, before they knew it the clock read one in the morning and Simon had had to leave. Marcus had been kind enough to wait up for his text and came to collect him when Simon was ready to leave.

The kiss goodbye was slow and sweet and would stay with Simon for the rest of his life. Zack had clung to him, like he didn't want to let Simon go, which Simon completely understood, as he was reluctant to walk away from Zack. The only reason he was able to was the knowledge he would be able to see them again the following day.

Since then Simon had been spending all his free time with Zack and Hayley. The second he finished work he made his way over to the hotel where they were staying, every date better than the next. Hayley's growing trust cemented how Simon felt about becoming a father.

Simon's phone rang, interrupting his thoughts, and he answered it. "Simon Holland."

"Hi." Zack's sexy voice floated down the line to him, and Simon immediately sat up straighter, even though there was no one in his office but him.

"Good afternoon, gorgeous, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Simon purred. His body already reacted to the small amount his mate had said.

"I was wondering if you've had lunch yet?" Zack asked.

Simon looked at his watch, which read twelve thirty. "Not yet."

"Did you have any plans?" Zack asked.

"I usually go home if I can, but today I was just planning on wandering to the deli down the street and getting a sandwich and eating at my desk," Simon answered.
