Raphael spoke for hours about his life, and Evan just listened. He was so fascinated by the life that his mate had lived. He could see the pain in Raphael’s eyes when he spoke of both Maxine and Alessandro, but Evan could also see that he was telling the truth when he said he mourned them but that the time had come to move on, that he would never forget them. They had helped him to be the man he was today, and he would always be grateful that they were a part of his life, but he needed to move forward.
Evan was so moved by Raphael’s strength that it helped him to get up the courage to tell the man the rest of his story. Part of him was still scared that his mate would reject him, but after spending this time with him and getting to know him, Evan didn’t think that Raphael would. He had learned so much about who his mate was over the past few days that he wanted him more than anything. He wanted to belong to Raphael. He wanted his mate to claim him. He wanted to belong to him and share their lives together. It wasn’t just Raphael’s stories of his life. It was how the man spoke to Evan, how he took care of him, how he reacted to the things Evan had confessed to him. He found that the more Raphael spoke, the more he was falling in love with him.
Evan took a deep breath and looked at his mate. “After I escaped, I spent close to thirty years traveling around, taking any odd job I could. I landed in a small town. What’s now known as Albuquerque. There was a sign in the window of the saloon for a porter. I went in, and I got the job. It was a lot of backbreaking work, but the pay wasn’t bad for that time, and it came with a room and one meal a day. It was just me, and I didn’t have much, so I stayed. I was there about five years when the most handsome man I had ever seen up to that point, walked in. He was some big banker, and he was looking into opening a bank there. Anyway, he let me know that he was interested in me, and he wined and dined me. I was so enamored by him. I had never met anyone like him before. He was educated and sophisticated, and I couldn’t believe he wanted me.
“Of course, we needed to keep our true relationship a secret. We were together for nearly a year when he told me he wanted to try something. He had been away on a business trip and had learned something while he was away. It turned out to be BDSM. I had no idea what that was, and I wanted to make him happy, so I said yes. The minute he shackled me to the rafter in that barn, I started to panic.
