Mount Pleasant

Chapter 8

Nikolai's POV

"Tinok, do you feel that?" I whispered, relishing in the pleasurable sparks between us.

"Yes. Why is it like this?" He whimpered, seemingly ashamed. I'm sure I can understand why; the scent of his arousal is so strong that I could have a release right now.

"I- I can't tell you that yet. I promise I will, soon enough. But for now we should just enjoy it, yeah?" I answered, softly combing my fingers through his hair.

"Okay."

"Would you like to spend the night?" I blurted, making my Mate smile.

"I would love to." He answered, pulling his head off of my shoulder. "Can I- Uh, not to be weird, but can I please touch your face?"

I smiled, but didn't verbally respond. Instead, all I did was lift both of Bentley's hands so that they were resting on my cheeks. Bentley gently felt my jaw. His fingertips caressed my cheekbones, and then my eyes. He grazed his fingers over the little bit of hair growing down in front of my ears. As soon as Bentley got to my lips I grabbed both of his hands and kissed them all over. He giggled, and I peppered playful kisses all over his neck too.

The moment when my lips touched the part on his neck where I had accidentally nipped him was when his arousal was instantly painfully strong. He groaned in discomfort at the feeling, and pushed me away from him.

"Sorry. I just- I was- I don't even know. Sorry." He stuttered. I let out a strangled chuckle, and moved so that Bentley was no longer straddling my lap.

"Are you hungry? I can cook us an early lunch." I offered, suddenly feeling very awkward.

"Yes please. And I need to phone my Mother to let her know I'm staying over." My Mate answered, standing up.

I handed him my phone and silently walked away to the kitchen.

> Zayev stop whining. < I growled internally.

> He smells so good! < Zayev defended.

> I know. I can smell it too. Just calm down, okay? I'm already restless, so with you feeling the same way it just doubles how I feel. < I explained.

"Nikolai? Where are you? I don't- Oof!" Bentley began, but he walked straight into a wall. I sprinted over to him with great speed and caught him in my arms before he fell backwards.

"I'm right here Tinok." I cooed, gently caressing his cheek.

"That's embarrassing." Bentley whined, standing up and backing away from me.

"What do you need?" I asked, hoping to divert the conversation so that he will no longer have to feel embarrassed.

"Uh, well I don't know what to do with this." He mumbled, thrusting my phone forward.

"Oh, right. What's your Mom's phone number?" I asked, opening up the keypad. He read it off to me and after adding her number into my contacts I clicked call and handed Bentley the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi Mom, it's me Bentley. I'm using Nikolai's phone. I was wondering, can I please spend the night here?"

"Oh! Sure Sweetie, that's fine by me. Do you need me to drop off anything?"

"Uh, how about-"

"No, everything is covered Tinok." I interjected.

"No Mom, I'm good. I'll talk to you tomorrow. I love you."
