Shit, I hadn’t been paying attention.
“We don’t do things like that,” he answered as he carried me to a side door that led to a private living room. No one was there and I was glad we could have this conversation in private. “We figure out who our mate is during sex when the bond snaps into place.”
“Then let’s have sex.” He stared at me with wide eyes as if I’d suggested something crazy. “What?”
“Give me a minute here to catch up,” he mumbled. “I’m Asterio. I’m a fae warrior who crossed over to this world for the first time yesterday. I’m already spinning here, okay?”
“Well, now you have two mates that can help you learn to adjust to this world,” Mav said gently. I glanced over my shoulder and smiled at him. “Tyler and I met the day before yesterday and we’re still trying to catch up as well. I’m Maverick Danker but everyone calls me Mav. And you’re holding Tyler Gilroy.”
“I found you both at one time?” Asterio whispered as he sat down. His grip on me tightened, his hands moving to my back. I realized he wasn’t being sexual. It was more like I was his security blanket and he was freaking out. I held him as well, making wolf happy noises that were as close to purring as we could do. “And you’ve already mated?”
“Yes. Tyler smelled you when we came back up for air after a day and a half of our coupling. I’m the liaison who is taking some of the fae to Greece, so there is much I need to attend to before I resign.”
“You’re quitting?” I asked, turning in Asterio’s arms so I could see him. He’d talked about it but the fact he’d made a decision was news.
“Yes, cub. I’ve lived a long time and I’ve learned what is most important in the life we are given,” he answered with a smile as he moved forward. I rubbed my cheek into the hand he held out. “I might help out here or take a teaching role so new warriors can learn from my experience, but it’s time to live my life.” He gave me a wink and a hot smirk. “Besides, I have an insatiable mate. I’d never be able to handle my job and take care of your needs.”
“He’s that horny?” Asterio blurted out, looking between us as if watching a tennis match. “I like sex, too. It’s just been a few centuries since I’ve had any.”
“How old are you? Am I mated to two old fogies?” I asked in a teasing tone.
“Over three millennia.” He scrunched his eyebrows together in confusion. “I don’t understand this word fogey .”
“Right, you’ve never been here before. Do fae ever get old looking and wrinkly?” He shook his head and then I was at a loss as to how to explain it. “It’s a human thing. You’ll catch on after watching some TV.”
“Why don’t you two get acquainted while I handle a few things,” Mav said gently, realizing, as I did, that our mate was feeling overwhelmed. “Asterio, I trust you will watch and protect our mate in my absence?”
“Yes, of course,” he answered.
“I’m not a child, guys.” I snickered, rolling my eyes. “I’m actually faster than vampires and hell, I shift into a strong ass wolf.” Mav gave me a look that clearly said no shit . Oh, right, he was trying to make sure Asterio didn’t run away or freak out if he was worried about protecting me. Damn, my man was smart!
“Here are your clothes.” He chuckled when I’m sure understanding lit up my face. “Get dressed and bring up a tray of food to our room with our mate. I’ll join you shortly.”
“If I obey, do I get a spanking?” I whimpered, already horny again. Wow, someone must have slipped some Viagra in the water supply the way I was acting.
He leaned over and nipped my neck with his fangs but not enough to draw blood. “I will spank my slut and then fuck him until he passes out again. Asterio can help. I think it will take both of us. But you have to be a good slut and show us how flexible you are.”
“Deal,” I moaned, wiggling on Asterio’s
