“Because he’s not you,” he said not looking at me.

If he was trying to make me feel uncomfortable, it had worked. How was I supposed to respond to that? I laughed.

“I have to go.”

I didn’t look at Lou again until my door was closed and I was about to start my truck. He looked devastated. Why? He was the one who had chosen Sey over me.

I had told him how I felt. We had had sex. And then he tossed me out as soon as I got inconvenient. He didn’t get to look heartbroken as I respected his choice.

“Good night,” Lou said meekly.

“Night,” I told him before pulling away.

Driving home I whipped back and forth from wishing I hadn’t left, to being pissed as hell. He didn’t get to do that to me. I wasn’t going to take that from him. He chose Sey. He sent me home. If he was now having regrets, then too bad. You make your bed, you lie in it.

It took everything in me to force the situation out of my mind. So instead of tossing and turning all night thinking about the things I would do to Lou if I got him naked again, I thought about what I would say at the town meeting. It was in a few hours and I didn’t feel prepared.

I had wanted it and had arranged it. But what was I gonna say? Some people didn’t want to incorporate our town and remove the protective barrier. Dr. Tom, the leader of the fae, would be representing their side.

But the faes weren’t the only ones against it. My human mother was too, which made no sense. Humans had nothing to fear from joining the outside world.

When I had asked my mother about it, she explained her position by saying that things were good the way they were. But, they weren’t. The reason I hadn’t explored my feelings for guys growing up was because I didn’t feel like there was any room for it. I was supposed to act like everyone else and not rock the boat. If I had had one example of someone my age making another choice, things would have been different.

Meeting Quin and Cage the day they came to town was a revelation for me for a lot of reasons. They were two guys who loved each other and weren’t scared to show it. It changed everything. I’m guessing it did the same for Nero and Cali.

The people of this town needed that type of exposure. We needed examples of other ways of thinking. But, how did I convince everyone else of change when they were happy with the way things were or scared of what change might bring?

My speech had the chance to improve the lives of so many people. What the hell was I gonna say?

Chapter 9

Lou

Watching Titus drive away, I was never surer that I needed him. I had forgotten how great my life had been with him in it. It was more than just having my best friend back. It was about having a partner in crime.

Sey wasn’t a bad guy, but he wasn’t a partner. He had his own life. Was that healthy for our relationship? Maybe. I didn’t know. But, what I was sure about was that it didn’t make me happy.

I didn’t feel alone when I was with Titus. I felt supported and loved. I was happy when I was with him. I couldn’t deny that.

I wanted to feel his strong arms around me and his lips on mine. I wanted to get lost in his touch as we took on the world together. But, how was I supposed to do that considering everything that had happened?

Maybe the distance between us had become too great. Maybe the two of us weren’t meant to be. But retreating to my lonely bed when the others went for their wolf run, I wished it wasn’t.

Sitting next to him, I could smell his scent. He smelled like flowers and musk. It was how he smelled after a game. It made my dick hard. And losing myself in the memory, I pushed my hand into my pants and clutched my throbbing cock.

Laying naked on the beach, he had kissed a path down my body. My muscles had twitched underneath him. When his large hands caressed my balls and took hold of my erection, my chest had lifted. I had inhaled barely able to breathe.

His warm mouth had sent sparks crackling through me. I was weak to his touch. Anything he wanted, I would have given him.

Remembering as he swallowed me, I pulled down my pants and stroked my cock. I could feel him touching me now. His broad body was all over me. His large hands gripped my chest. The tip of my dick pushed into his throat.

Stroking harder and faster, my breath increased until I could hear myself moan. I couldn’t help it. The thought of Titus was overwhelming. And when my toes curled and an itch shot from my inner thigh and tightened my balls, I exploded letting out a yelp as I did.

Out of breath, my mind swirled. I couldn’t think of anything but pleasure. Thoughts of Titus floated around me. I ached knowing he wasn’t there to hold me. His absence from my tingling body nearly drove me insane with desire.

Why had I sent Titus away instead of fighting for him? Why had I chosen Sey when I knew that there was only one person I could love?

I needed to make this better somehow. I needed to have him back. What I had planned for his town meeting was a start but it wasn’t going to be enough.
