Titus Young

My eyes flutter open and I can't help but to look down at my pet, who's sleeping peacefully. He groans wiggling closer to my morning wood in his sleep. I'm honestly surprised he let me carry him here last night after he was so pissed about Shannon. I just wasn't about to sleep in this bed without him, not like I would've gotten sleep without him anyway. I reach over tracing his full lips with my thumb causing him to turn again. If I'm being honest, I never told Shannon because I foolishly thought once she saw I was marked she wouldn't pursue me any longer. Clearly, I was mistaken. We were back to cool coworkers until she tried to put her hands on me. I by no means want to disrespect my mate, especially not through actions that could be perceived as infidelity. I lean down placing kisses on his neck hoping to coax him awake.

"Stop" he groans trying to move from me. I hold him closer to me by reaching into his boxers stroking his morning wood. "Fuck off" he growls clearly still pissed.

I turn him on his back so he can look at me, "how many times am I going to have to say sorry pet?" I stroke his hair.

He moves away from me, "until your actions say the same. I'm going back to sleep." He goes to turn back on his side, and I stop him causing him to groan.

"This whole shutting down thing is not going to keep happening Beckham. We're going to talk and find a solution."

He scoffs, "would you have preferred I come to your class and air our dirty laundry?"

I shrug knowing he's being a smartass, "if it would've stopped me from going crazy all day trying to figure out what was wrong with you, yes."

He rolls his eyes, "I'm not doing that Titus." He looks away from me, "I'm possessive by nature and you know this, but you still keep entertaining her. I say fuck and I'm against the wall with your hand around my throat. Why?"

It's my turn to roll my eyes, "you're being dramatic, and you know it but I get the point you're trying to make."

He looks at me with a glare, "that doesn't answer the question."

I stroke his jawline, "I honestly thought she got the picture. Anyone within close reach can smell you all over me, didn't think she didn't care about us being mated." I watch his face as he stares at the ceiling seeming to be struggling with something. Dramatics aside, I know that if the shoe was on the other foot, he would've been lucky that all he got was my silence. Had I been him I know I would've done worse at the sight. Hell, I wanted to do more at her blatant disrespect of my mate, but we work together. I trace his lip again giving him time to gather his thoughts.

He exhales deeply, "I-I love you" he closes his eyes tightly with a groan before opening them again. "I never really knew what that really meant until you and if I'm being honest, I'm pretty sure I've been in love with you since the day you were home 'sick'. I guess I didn't really want to acknowledge those feelings because it was too soon and that scared the shit out of me. But every time I see you with her" he cuts himself off with a growl. "You're mine and I want to kill her and you. Don't say you love me if you can't be bothered to have a conversation with someone about boundaries."

I can't help my grin as I lean down kissing him, he tries to push me away, but I hold him flesh against me. He groans giving into the kiss and I trace his bottom lip asking for entrance which he gives me. I straddling his waist slowing the kiss down to explore every part of his mouth. He loves me. He really told me he's in love with me. I thought it'd take exceptionally longer to hear that from him. I knew he did before he even did and he's right it didn't take long. I don't think I've been happier.
