Lucien's Jealousy
Ronan tightened his arms around Lucien and buried his nose in Lucien's neck. His mate's sweet scent instantly flooded his lungs, its calming effect was a thousand times stronger after they abstained from intimacy for five days and five nights.
"Sorry," he choked out, breathing against Lucien's collarbone. "Have you been waiting?"
"Mm."
Lucien reciprocated the hug, but the Alpha could feel that the anguish in Lucien's heart was far from being extinguished.
"Lulu..."
Luckily, Lucien never liked to beat around the bush. The time off that he requested had passed, so it was time to talk about the huge elephant in the room.
"When you bit me again that night, I was very upset."
The hands that pressed against Ronan's back turned into claws.
"What you did was despicable."
The jut at Ronan's throat bobbed up and down nervously.
"I thought, you must have done something terribly wrong if you were so afraid of me leaving you."
