Fated To Be His...

60. Baby lion...

"I'll be back before you know it", Zhan reassured squeezing his mate to himself. His arms practically had no strength after the long hours he had spent making love to his mate and as soon as his hold on Yibo loosened, the Alpha let out a grumble. "You are being whiny again, Yibo." The Alpha gently nipped his little wolf's throat with his teeth, hard enough to send a shudder down Zhan's spine and draw out a moan. "No more", Zhan breathed moving away from the sensual touch only to be caged in Yibo's hold even tighter. The pair were locked tight in an embrace on Yibo's bed, exhausted by their morning rounds of making love. At least, one of them was exhausted. From the look Zhan saw on Yibo's face, the Alpha wanted to go for another round. "I know what's going in your head. And the answer is no. It's not happening." "I'll make it good for you. Let me love you, little wolf." That deep, husky promise was a magic spell Zhan didn't have the strength to resist. Burrowing himself in Yibo, Zhan pressed a kiss to Yibo's jaw. "Alright, have your wicked way with me. Take advantage of my weak, Omega body." A low laugh rumbled in Yibo's chest and Zhan pulled back to see a bright smile on Yibo's face. He was seeing a lot of those sweet smiles these days. Zhan had missed them. "Seeing you smile is the best way to start the day", Zhan whispered tracing the curve of Yibo's lips. "I love you, baby lion."

Yibo's smile grew at the words. "I know. I love you too." Joining their foreheads together, Yibo breathed in deeply like he did every day, taking Zhan's scent deep into his lungs. The scent of plum blossoms had a hint of sandalwood with it, making Yibo let out a satisfied hum. "You smell like me." "Maybe because you spent the last two hours tormenting me." Yibo nipped Zhan's lip at the sharp retort, his brows furrowing. "I spent the last two hours worshipping you." Yibo stared at the mole under Zhan's lips brushing it tenderly with his thumb. "Take me to the shelter with you", he demanded softly and hissed when Zhan's hand pinched his side. Pinning both of Zhan's hands by his side, the Alpha stared at his mate. "Don't you dare", Zhan growled, twisting out of the hold and getting out of bed. Yibo extended his right arm to grab his mate, knowing Zhan would give in if he tried hard enough but to his surprise, Zhan evaded his touch, a stern look on his face.

"I said no before. My answer isn't going to change now." "It'll get dark-" A growl cut off the words, the animal within Yibo going still. The tough animal wasn't afraid of a lot of things. Time and time again, Yibo's animal had proved how damn fearless he was, but a sound of displeasure from his little wolf had his spine stiffening. "You'll stay right here for the meetings. I just need to drop some paperwork to Lei and grab a few things. I'll be back in an hour or two." "But-" A dark brow arched and Yibo swallowed the rest of his words. "I asked Feiyu and Bowen to accompany me. Wei Wei and Liu Fang will also be there. You don't have to worry." "Why shouldn't I worry? None of them can take care of you like I can", Yibo challenged but all he got was a sigh in response. Zhan closed the door of the bathroom behind him, and hearing the shower turn on, Yibo lay flat on his bed, grabbing Zhan's pillow. Was he being overprotective? Unreasonable? Yibo palmed his face deep in thought. The idea of being away from his little wolf did not sit well with Yibo. He needed his little wolf with him at all times. It had only been two months since the bloody battle they had fought in Hope. What if something happened?

Yibo had spent every single moment with Zhan ever since the fight. Hadn't slept in another bed even when Zhan stayed at Hope. Others joked about Yibo being clingy and so what if he was. He had spent five years away from his mate. He needed to make up for it. If being attached at the hip for the rest of their life was the answer, Yibo was more than ready. His wolf was in full agreement with that thought. Yibo's wolf hated the thought of getting separated from Zhan just as much as Yibo if not more. He just needed to get his hands on Zhan, his little wolf would agree sooner or later. "I can see the wheels turning in your head again. You can't convince me to take you with me." Yibo's eyes shot to Zhan, who was draped in a towel, wiping his hair. Yibo swallowed hard at the sight. He spent his days and nights feasting on his mate's body and soul, but still, it was never enough. He wanted more. "I know that look." "Then what are you doing all the way there? Come here." Yibo licked his lips and Xiao Zhan smirked as he began dressing up. "Grab a shower. Get ready for the meeting. By the time you are done, I'll be back." "But I'll miss you." The petulant tone caused Zhan to laugh out loud and hearing that soft laughter put an ache in Yibo's chest."And we can be with each other as much as we want when I come back." "You-." "Lei has been asking us to drop by for days. We have already cancelled twice. I can't do it again or the poor man will think we've abandoned him." Yibo knew Zhan missed Lei. Both of them had decided that they would visit Lei but Yibo had some urgent pack business to handle. His mate was right. They couldn't cancel again. Sighing deeply, Yibo buried his face in Zhan's pillow. "Fine. I'll try to wrap things up early. I'll pick you up if I can."
