Ouch. Ow ow ow ow ow my butt hurts. Mina groaned in his mind as he tried not to move an inch beneath the blankets. The overwhelming scent of sex had his nose in a permanent wrinkle as his backside throbbed like someone had done something inappropriate to it with a baseball bat... several times. Sniffling, he realized that he was crying and quickly wiped at the tears, but they refused to stop as he groaned again, this time audibly.
He could feel cuts and bruises along his arms, legs, and back, too, but nothing hurt as horribly compared to his backside.
"I'm gonna kick his butt." He grumbled into the thick blankets right before he heard the sound of a solid glass thumping down onto the nightstand near his head.
"Good luck with that, cub. I brought you some pain medicine." Del said, making Mina peek out from beneath the blankets to see him set two pills down next to the glass of water he'd brought.
But only because you wouldn't stop groaning and I feel like my ass is hurting just feeling your pain through our stupid bond.
"I can hear you." Mina rasped out as he forced his body to move until he could reach the pills.
He tossed them back, then took a big drink of water to rinse them down before setting the glass back on the nightstand and flopping down with a sigh.
"I don't care." Del said as he walked over to his dresser and began taking out clothing.
Mina watched him pull on a pair boxers, then pants, noting the small groups of little claw marks along his lower back and shoulders. When Del pulled on a shirt and turned, starting to button it while watching him, he smirked.
"I have to admit, you got me more than I thought you would." Del said, making Mina feel a slight bit of empowerment. "Don't look in the mirror." He added as he finished with his shirt, then pulled on a pair of socks before sliding his feet into his shoes. "My wolf liked marking you. A lot."
Before Mina could respond Del was out the door, leaving him alone in his bed.
Asshole.
A deep chuckle in his mind was Del's response, making Mina hiss back at him as he forced himself up. He noticed several deep cuts on his arms and legs as he began to take stock of his body. Everything ached, and as he ran his eyes over every inch of skin he could see, he realized why.
You carved me half to death! He growled.
The other man waited a few minutes to respond, and it wasn't what Mina thought he'd hear from him.
I called your brother at 4, as promised, since you were otherwise incapacitated.
Mina's face burned at the thought of Roan knowing what they'd done, and just how much since he'd been out cold by that time.
I hate you.
He could feel Del laughing as he made himself get to his feet, then limped toward the bathroom. As he got the water started in the bathtub, he heard Del's response.
You know what? I don't hate you. Your body was fucking delicious and I plan to be inside of it quite frequently.
Mina felt himself throb with a need he refused to let be known as he carefully got into the bathtub and leaned back, sighing as his body began to warm from the rising water.
It hurts. He thought to himself as he felt another tear track down his cheek. His heat was definitely gone, but the price he'd paid hadn't been worth it. A human would definitely have been safer.
