Sacred Ties

Chapter Fifteen

Zach cursed when he saw how late he was. It was no longer night and the sun was shining on a lovely morning, a start of a new day. His meeting with Kenneth took longer than they both assumed and he couldn't leave it unfinished. The two men stayed up all night and they had just finished minutes ago.

"We will talk Kenneth but now I have to ride." He told the Alpha and once they said farewell, he went to his bike and roar it to life. He was then off to see his boyfriend and only hoped he was still waiting for him.

Said boyfriend had spent the night waiting for Zach to come home. He didn't go up to the room when he felt sleepy since he was determined to see his boyfriend back.
Cemil paced in the house to keep the sleep away. He couldn't understand why this was happening but he had a decision. He had a plan and without Zach with him, all he could do was wait. He dreaded the time when he has to say the words to his boyfriend. He had to tell him before things change. So he waited during the night but then he fell asleep on the couch where he had sat after getting tired of moving.

Cemil woke up with a jolt and after getting in the familiar house, he remembered where he was and what led for him to be here. Him waking up on the couch, he knew that his boyfriend must have not come home during the night. He wondered what he was doing and what kept him away all night.

He walked in the kitchen and make a cup of coffee for himself. He sipped the beverage, eyes on the clock since he was still waiting for his boyfriend to come home. He even got a shower at some time and then he heard the bike's sound before it even came up to the house. He was just coming down the stairs after his long shower. He waited for Zach to come in the house and the moment his boyfriend got in, he threw himself at him. Hugging him and listening to his heart beat.

"I missed you too dearest." Zach chuckled while holding his boyfriend to him. He was happy to be home and loved how his boyfriend welcomed him.

Cemil had other ideas though as he planted his lips on his boyfriend's unexpected ones. It didn't take long for the lovebird's kiss to get heated up. They had both missed the other and the simple kiss between them seemed to rile up some desires between them.

"Stop, stop , stop." Zach pushed his boyfriend gently away from him. They were both breathing heavily and he didn't like where the kiss was going. He didn't want a repeat of their date since he knew his boyfriend wasn't ready for all that. It was the lust driving them crazy.

"Why?" Cemil asked his boyfriend. They were doing okay with the kiss so he didn't understand why he had pulled away.

"It wasn't right." Zach replied but when he saw how hurt Cemil looked by those words, he quickly opened his mouth to explain more but he was cut off.

"I'm I not right for you? You don't like me that way?" Cemil asked with tears in his eyes. His boyfriend was rejecting him and the feeling really hurt.

"No dearest. You are perfect and I don't just like you baby, I love you Cemil. But I didn't want us to move that fast. I don't want you to regret being with me when you find your mate." Zach assured his lover and Cemil's eyes got wide when he heard the man declaring his love for him, but winced when the word mate was mentioned.

"Okay." Cemil smiled at Zach who sighed in relief that he has made things right between them. He didn't get disappointed that Cemil didn't say it back to him. It was okay with him and he accepted how things were since he knew that Cemil might love him or not.

"I have to get a bath." He told Cemil and after a nod, he left going to his room.

Cemil sighed and leaned against the front door. He watched longingly as his boyfriend went up the stairs. He really wanted Zach in anyway possible and he didn't like that the guy resisted him earlier. He started pacing again, giving himself the talk that he wasn't going to regret his time with Zach. He knew he loved Zach and no matter how other things played out in his head, he knew he had made the right choice. He ran up the stairs and opened the door to Zach's room.
