The perfect companion | Sansang

C13

"Who was that man?" Yeosang allowed San to sit him on top of the bar.

He released him, stepped back and scowled at her, "The mating heat is about to begin, other packs wish to join ours and are sending their women and men for me to meet them."

Yeosang looked at him silently, mouth agape, and he finally found his voice, "Were you thinking of taking him to dinner? He wasn't exactly dressed to take him to a public place, unless it's a strip bar. Those clothes left very little room for imagination."

San turned his dark head and he could have sworn he had seen him blush, "Not exactly" He didn't look at him and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Oh, are you supposed to have sex with them?"

"Yeah."

Jealousy hit him hard, the idea of San having sex with others just didn't sit well with him. That the other pack had sent him to that beauty made him feel worse. That man was a porn-star-in-a-leather-suit. It had also been made very clear to him that he had probably slept with many changelings throughout his life.

"Every year do you have to sleep with a woman or a man to see if they are your potential partner?"

He looked at him again, "It's not just one."

He knew that the color in his face had disappeared in that instant.

"How many are you supposed to sleep with during mating season?"

"There are several packs that would love to have their daughter or son mate with the future alpha of our pack, we are stronger than most of them and our territory is larger. The packs schedule appointments with my father before sending them."

"How long did you say this heat thing lasts?"

"Ten to fifteen days, depending on the year, it is difficult to predict exactly. Sex is an effective way to see if we can be partners."

That made his stomach turn, "I'm leaving" he got off the bar and headed towards the door.

San moved faster than him, blocking his only exit and scowling at him when he stopped, "You're not leaving until you're safe."

Yeosang felt embarrassed and humiliated. He refused to look into his eyes and focused his attention on his mouth. He had thought that what was between them was the beginning of a special relationship, but for him he was just another jerk to have sex with and the worst of all was that he would have slept with him, if he hadn't stopped.

"Get out of the way, San! I'm leaving, no wonder you have so many condoms in your drawers."

He sniffed and cursed under his breath, "Damn."

"I don't want to stay here" He backed away to put more space between them, turned around and looked at the window from before. He again was tempted by the idea of jumping. He felt ridiculous for allowing her to touch him and now he just needed to get away from him, "I just need to get out of here before the next one comes."

"I know exactly what you're feeling, you feel hurt, I can smell it."

He refused to look at him, "No, I'm not" he lied, not about to let him know that he had started to have feelings for him, "Your nose is wrong, I just don't want another werewolf to threaten me with be their dinner" Yeosang moved closer to the window, "You'll be too busy with them to take care of me."

"Damn it, Yeosang, look at me" the order growled.

He turned his head, "What?" His gaze met hers and he saw the regret in his black eyes.
