“He couldn’t have done anything else, I guess. You don’t negotiate with the enemy. ” He parroted the words and hated his father even more.
Ian didn’t pursue the subject. “You were so brave coming up to the cell door and challenging me, little as you are. I thought it was amazing. ”
“Little?I’m six feet tall and weigh one hundred ninety-five pounds. For a human, I’m considered pretty large. ”
Ian smiled. “Not to me. I’m six feetfive, and I don’t even know how much I weigh, but a lot more than you do. ”
“I’m not gay!” He cast a worried glance up at Ian. “Am I? Is there something in the blood you made me drink that makes me a fag?”
“Of course not. Settle down and stop being offensive. I didn’t make you drink. I didn’t have to, and if you don’t want me to touch you again, I won’t. ”
“Just like that?”
Ian shrugged. “I didn’t force you before. I won’t force you now. You do have to feed from me though. Or from some other wolf from now on. Mine will taste better to you, but if you don’t want me, then there might be other options. You have to feed though. That’s not an option. If you don’t it could cause you to become very sick. ”
“Feed from you? From your blood?That’s disgusting. ”
“Nevertheless, you’ll do it. ”
Logan blushed again. He hated the idea of being forced to do anything. Never one to enjoy being ordered around, he knew this big wolf could make him do whatever he wanted, and the thought made him uneasy. It also made him hard as a rock. Did he like being ordered around by this man?
He looked down at his throbbing cock in fear and confusion. “No more sex!”
Ian nodded. “I’ll wait until you want it. ” He smiled into Logan’s eyes. “Make no mistake, Logan. You will want it. Maybe even beg for it again. ”
“The hell you say! Don’t hold your breath. ” Angrily, Logan crossed over to the bed and grabbed a sheet to wrap around him. He wanted badly to wipe the smug smile off the big wolf’s face.
Ian nodded toward the door. “Okay then. We’ll see. If you’re ready, let’s go to my quarters. I need to show you where your new home is. It’s time to get you settled in as my pet. ”
“What the hell is a pet?Like a dog or something?”
“No, not at all. We call our mates and natural-born Werekin pets. As a mate it means you’re mine. I will feed you my blood and care for you from this day forward. You’ll do what I tell you to do. ”
“Oh, I will?” Logan stirred uneasily. “Bullshit! Am I supposed to be some kind of slave now? Is that it?”
“No. You’re my mate. I take care of you. What’s so difficult to understand?”
Loganfelt uneasy at Ian’s sharper tone. He still wasn’t comprehending, and he definitely didn’t like the words pet or mate. He wanted more information. Again, he remembered the bite this big wolf had given him before fucking him. His logical mind remembered from somewhere the bite was poisonous and caused humans to change into monsters. Had that happened to him? In a sudden panic he ran to the mirror. All he saw was his usual face looking back out at him. He turned in confusion to Ian, wanting his comfort, being drawn to him, and not understanding that either.
Ian held out a hand to him. “Come here, Logan. I told you to forget all of what the Hunters told you. It’s simply not true. ”
Logan backed up a step, shaking his head. “No, not till you explain to me what’s going on. ”
Ian sat up straighter. His eyes glittered dangerously. His voice took on an authoritative tone. “When I speak to you, Logan, I expect you to do as I say. Come over here. Now. ”
Logan dropped his head. A sharp pang went through him atIan’s tone. Ian was angry with him. While a part of him was defiant and angry, another, more primal part made his feet start to move slowly toward Ian as if he were compelled to please him. He walked to stand in front of him.
Ian snapped out, “On your knees. ”
Flushing, Logan fell to his knees, keeping his head down, not daring to look up. He hated himself for his own cowardice. His body trembled all over. What was happening to him?
“Knees apart and put your hands behind your back. ” Ian’s tone was quiet, yet firm and unyielding.
Logan did as he was told, and long minutes ticked by while he remained on his knees. Unreasonably, as he knelt there at Ian’s feet he began to feel calmer. Finally, Ian said softly. “This is the submissive position you will assume whenever I say, whenever I am displeased with you, or you’re acting defiant. You don’t question my orders, Logan, or make conditions. Is that clear?”
“Yes. ”
“How do you feel?”
