Torn Between Tides

Chapter Twenty Five

If it was up to Roman, he'd ask Colt to punish him right there and then. The thought of him standing against the desk with his ass out and the other man spanking him as he tried to keep himself from screaming too loud...

I need holy water, Roman said to himself.

"Thank God you have an attached bathroom," Roman muttered once the two of them had cleaned and zipped back up. "Imagine if I had to walk out to go to the bathroom with my face covered in cum."

"Good way of letting everyone know that you're mine," though I'm pretty sure every werewolf in the building would know what we were up to the moment they step into the same vicinity as us.

"I'm yours now, huh?" Roman asked. Colt immediately stopped in his tracks as he thought about what slipped out of his mouth.

"Uh," Colt didn't know how to save this, so he decided to go with the truth. "I...I told you, Roman. I don't play around. I'm not the kind of person to casually hook up with people. If I'm with someone...then it's only them for me and nobody else. I probably shouldn't have jumped the gun and called you mine without discussing it with you first, but yeah, that's what I want."

"That's what I want too," Roman whispered. "I want you to be mine."

I was yours the moment I first laid eyes on you, Colt thought. And I will continue to be yours till the day I take my very last breath.

"Good," Colt said as he held the swimmer's hand and stepped close to him. "Does that mean you're my—"

"That means I'm going to take you out on a date after my tournament is over and we're going to have the most romantic kiss and then..." Roman paused, winking at the Alpha as he continued talking. "And then I just might ask you to be my boyfriend."

"Just might?" Colt questioned, wrapping his arms around Roman's waist as he smirked.

"Uh huh, depends on how the date goes," Roman teased the werewolf, "and also on whether you're a good kisser or not."

"Guess we'll just have to wait and see," Colt said before bringing his lips close to Roman's ear and whispering, "I hope I can satisfy you in every single way that you want."

Somehow, I don't doubt that, Roman thought, but decided against saying that just yet.

"Our lunch must be cold by now," Roman replied instead.

"We can go to the break room and heat it up," Colt suggested as he let go of the swimmer and took a step back.

"Show me the way, boss," Roman retorted, making the Alpha chuckle as he grabbed the paper bags and walked towards the door.

The two left his office with Colt showing him around the floor. A lot of eyes were on them, some curious and some knowing. A majority of the employees were human, so they didn't know who the man with their boss was. Unlike the werewolves, who figured that it was none other than their Alpha's mate.

Roman was used to being the center of attention, but that was usually only when he was in water. He could feel the gazes burning on him and he couldn't help but shift with unease. He was in an unfamiliar place, and everyone was looking at him as if he was an alien.

Colt intertwined his fingers with Roman's once they were done heating the food and were walking back to the man's office. Roman was surprised at first. He wasn't expecting Colt to hold his hand especially at his workplace. He didn't even know whether Colt was out of the closet or not and at the very least he figured that Colt probably wouldn't be comfortable with PDA at his office.

But Colt seemed to prove him wrong once again as he walked beside Roman with his head held high. He wasn't ashamed in the slightest, and Roman felt his own anxiety simmer down.
