Chapter Sixteen
Marcus watched Robson get into his old Camry, Teresa tiredly sinking into the passenger seat, and drive off with barely a glance back at the rec center. When Marcus had tried to hold him back after the class was over, Robson had quickly made an excuse about having to get Teresa home while Patrick went to pick up their pup from the farmhouse. Heâd slipped away before Marcus could come up with something to say to stop him.
Sighing, he stepped away from the window, turning back to the empty conference room.
Well, almost empty.
âSoooo. That went well,â Nico said, leaning against the opposite wall, arms crossed and grin barely suppressed.
Marcus grunted, not in the mood for his teasing. His mate was freaked-out and alone all because Nico and Bennett had decided it was a good idea to talk about the things their stupid dicks did during the mating process. It wasnât that Marcus didnât see the value in young, unmated shifters knowing how their bodies worked, he just wished that hadnât been how Robson found out.
âCome on, Marcus. Itâs not like you would have told him yourself.â
He jerked his head up from where he was straightening chairs and snarled at Nico. âI would have.â
Rolling his eyes, Nico pushed off the wall and approached him, seemingly unconcerned with pissing Marcus off. âReally? You would have sat him down and talked to him about your wolf wanting to knot him if you topped?â
He tried to hold Nicoâs gaze, but he could feel his face heating just at the words. When he actually tried to think about saying them out loud to Robson? âI wouldnât have⦠without his permission.â
Both of Nicoâs big hands landed on his shoulders, and he ducked down to catch Marcusâs eyes again. âHey. Iâm not trying to be an asshole, okay? But I know stuff like this is hard for you.â
That was an understatement. After his childhood of taunting and insults around every turn, Marcus had struggled to talk to anyone about personal things. Puberty, sex, and matings definitely werenât things that were talked about in his old pack, and then heâd been shipped off and been surrounded by strangersâmost of whom were much older than him. So trying to talk about such personal things now was difficult for him.
But⦠he would have, for Robsonâ¦
Right?
âWhat if he doesnât come back, Nico?â Marcus flinched at the break in his voice, the raw fear crumbling the wall he kept erected between him and everyone else.
Nico snorted, shifting his hands to cup Marcusâs face. âDonât be silly. That man is half in love with you already.â
Marcus sucked in a breath, hope trying to combat his terror at losing his mate.
âJust give him some time to wrap his head around things, then shoot him a text later tonight or tomorrow. Donât let things become awkward.â
At Marcusâs unimpressed look, Nico laughed in his face and wrapped him in a hug, his warmth and scent filling Marcus with a sense of safety and family that only close packmates could give him.
