Daniel groans, grinding back. Liam forces himself to get it together, hauls in a hard breath, then wraps his arms around the submissive, calming them both down. He kisses Daniel’s neck gently, nuzzling lazily at the gland he wants to take.

He lets Daniel go, making sure he’s near a chair so he can sit down, weak from Liam’s attention and dominance. Daniel will get used to it. But right now, even that small amount is a lot.

“What do you need so you can leave here?”

“Um, just… a few things. Maybe… I need a shower,” he says, clearly not wanting Liam to be stuck with him when he’s covered in blood from the night.

“How about you take a shower and I’ll go grab a few things from my room here so we can leave?”

“That’d be nice. Thank you.” Daniel rubs his hands over his face, trying to dispel the haze that his Dominant’s lust has brought on.

Liam stops at the door. He knows he’s being ridiculous, but he can’t help it. “How about you give me a key so I can lock the door behind me?”

“Really?” Daniel asks, not believing Liam would be so possessive of him.

Liam lets his embarrassment show, both willing and wanting Daniel to see that he does feel possessive and territorial about him. That Daniel is someone worth worrying over. He’s happy for Daniel to know that he’s concerned already about his safety, and that the idea of leaving him alone, even in his own apartment, is just about more than Liam can bear at the moment. That’s how much he wants Daniel.

Liam shrugs and runs his hand through his hair. “I know it’s dumb. I know you’re more than capable of taking care of yourself, and that we are in an incredibly safe environment. But, like I said, I really want you, more than I’ve ever wanted a submissive, and it’s affecting me. It’ll settle down once I have you in my space and on my knot for a few days.”

Daniel blushes. He does it every time Liam mentions having him on his knot. Probably because no one has ever said that to him before. It’s also clear the submissive loves it.

Daniel gets his key and brings it over to Liam, holding it out to him. There’s a small smile on his face and it makes him look soft and beautiful.

“Alright, I’ll be back soon and we will go.”
