Chapter 59
Richard put his head under Julien’s chin and kissed his neck to the catcalls of the other Mates.
“From what I understand, you guys were just as affected by the mating imperative.” Julio frowned at the lot of them.
Sean laughed. “We were only teasing. I remember being just as bad. It’s a long flight. Use the recliner and try to get some sleep. You certainly won’t get any tonight.”
Richard didn’t care that the others were making fun of him. He rested his head on Julien’s chest and could hear his wolf’s heart beating. It beat for him. That was enough to make all the teasing in the world totally irrelevant. He snuggled in closer, and Julien carded Richard’s hair with his fingers. His wolf’s chest rumbled as he whispered, “Your beautiful hair fascinates me. It’s so thick and soft. I love the idea that I’ll be doing this for three hundred years. I adore the tone of your skin and the few freckles that cross your nose and cheeks. You are perfect in my eyes, mon ange. Never forget that.”
