“So, I suppose you don’t like being called a dog, huh?” Alfie rubbed the fur on Malachi’s head again.

Wolf Malachi simply stared back at him, and it was there he saw that maybe, just maybe, if he let himself give in to everything he was feeling, he might just end up with everything he ever wanted.

That was why it was called a leap of faith after all.

“Do you think you could, you know, become a guy again? I figure we should kind of have a back and forth conversation for the next part. Plus I really would prefer our first kiss to be, you know, with the human you.”

That seemed to be the magic word because the next thing Alfie knew, he was faced with a fully naked man. Fully naked, very hot man.

“Hey.” Alfie smiled shyly at Malachi the man. A bout of insecurity washed over him; talking to Chi the wolf was way easier.

“Hi,” Malachi said, and gave him an answering smile.

The man didn’t even try and cover himself, so Alfie was once again faced with fully naked hot man. Not that he was about to tell Malachi to put his clothes on.

It slipped into Alfie’s mind that Malachi was the opposite of Rupert ineveryway. Where Rupert was lanky and pale, the man before him was broad, strong, and beautifully tanned, and he wouldn’t even think about the gorgeous cock, which he couldn’t stop glancing at. Wait, was he allowed to call a dick gorgeous?

Nope, don’t think about it, Alfie…but how could he not? Malachi wasn’t even trying to hide the fact that he was very aroused.

There was also a sincerity in his gaze that Alfie was only now realising had never been in Rupert’s.

Malachi eyes hadn’t strayed from him, and it was almost disconcerting to be the focus of someone’s complete attention—but in a good way. Alfie realised he would never have to worry about trying to get this man’s attention. He already had it.

Malachi

Malachi wasn’t sure how Alfie was going to react, but he and his wolf were at peace with their mate petting them. He probably looked like the dog Alfie had called him with how much his body vibrated from the simple touches, but he didn’t care.

Breathing in his mate’s scent with his wolf nose was like a shot of pure adrenalin to his blood. Chi almost felt like everything suddenly came into focus. Like he’d been going through life in a fog, and suddenly, the sun broke through.

Alfie’s voice broke into his rhapsodising.

“So what do we do now?” His mate's eyes were focused on Chi’s lips as he asked that question. Alfie glanced up to look him in the eyes briefly, but his cheeks pinked and he looked away. Still, Malachi didn’t miss the fact that Alfie was licking his lips.

Malachi’s gaze locked on Alfie’s tempting, now glistening, lips. They were like a beacon calling him.

“You did mention something about a kiss,” Chi said, hoping to get his mate back in that direction.

He was watching Alfie, so he caught his nod. Chi didn’t waste any more time. He lifted Alfie, and his mate let out ameepsound.

Still, Alfie had no choice but to wrap his legs around Malachi’s waist.

When Alfie was all settled, Malachi’s arms tightened around him.Fuck,he had his mate in his arms. It almost felt like his brain was giving him commentary of what was happening.

Alfie’s eyes appeared to focus on everything but Malachi’s eyes, but he seemed to be taking his time trying to find a comfortable position. Either that, or Alfie was trying to kill his mate since their positions meant Malachi’s hard as steel cock was perfectly positioned to sink into him.

Fuck!Malachi cursed internally.Focus, Chi; one step at a time. Don’t scare him away.

Malachi’s arms tightened around Alfie’s waist holding him in place, but all that did was make their positions even more apparent, at least to him.

“Alfie,” Chi groaned his mate’s name out. It came out sounding something between a prayer and a curse.

Alfie finally raised his head so they were face to face.

“Hi.” Chi husked out the words. His voice deeper than he’d ever heard it.

“Hi,” Alfie replied. “I think this is where you ki—”
