Dieter's Prize

Thirty-Four

Crispin's POV

The rest of dinner went smoothly, the conversation flowed effortlessly. Of course, there was the awkward and thick tension between us and Carter. I found myself looking over at him hoping to get something from him. But I knew that wasn't our relationship anymore. And this tension between us was going to be there forever. 

But it's something I am going to have to get over. But not for a very long time.

I spent a lot of time getting to know Koa and Tino and I can see why Dieter and him get along so well. Dieter and Koa were similar in many ways. And Tino, well he was a ball of goofiness and jokes. I truly don't think I've ever laughed that hard before. 

At first, I wondered how the dynamic between Koa and Tino could be possible. They seemed opposite of each other. But the way Koa seems to calm him down, and Tino brings out the soft side of Koa. It made sense. They were truly perfect for each other.

They only briefly shared a bit of their past and how their relationship blossomed. It was evident in what they did share that they had gone through much adversity. It made me look at them in a different light. And I could only hope that one day, once all of this is past us. Dieter and I can be in a place where we can be carefree and in love like them. Though for me, I have one of those done already.

It took time, but I am in love with Dieter. I am. 

I should have realized that the moment I knew I was choosing him over Carter. 

Only love can make you do such a thing.

But now it was more so did he love me? 

It felt like he loved me, he did things that showed that he loved me. But it was still hard to gauge. Plus I never thought I'd be one to say I love you first. Yes, ridiculous. But I had always hoped that my mate would plan something big and romantic and profess their love for me that way.

I watch too many movies.

Knowing Dieter, I would have to say it first. 

Now all there is left to do is figure out, when and how. I of course want to tell him before I tell him I'm pregnant. In the chance that he does feel the same, I would think he is only saying it because I am carrying his pup. Though I know it has to be soon. Within the next few weeks, I would start to show. Since werewolf pregnancies are only six months and I'm already a month in. Which is already wild to think about. 

I hope Dieter isn't pissed I didn't tell him.

"You're in deep thought." Dieter chuckled as he dried his hair with a towel and he had his pajama bottoms on. I didn't even notice that he had come out.

"Sorry, I was--just--" I could barely gather my thoughts as he turned around and I saw just how good his ass looked. 

Suddenly I couldn't remember what I was thinking before. All I knew was that I wanted to bend him over and feel his round cheeks in my hands. 

When was the last time I even did that?

I wracked my brain and as I went back and thought about our past encounters, my dick twitched in my shorts. The memory of me riding him, the time in the courts, and even before then. I guess it's been a while since I've had my way with him.

I've got to fix that.

"Hello, earth to Crispin." Dieter laughed as he leaned over the end of the bed. Using his arms to hold him up.
