Dev. “Uh-huh. All yours. Can we go?”
    “No.”
    Laine froze. “But—”
    “No.”
    Laine’s shoulders slumped.

    Dev kissed his cheek. “Lainey, I had the best Valentine’s Day ever last year. I met you. There is nothing to compensate for. But I won’t argue if you want to strip for me at home later.”
    Laine went up on tiptoes to kiss Dev’s chin. “It won’t be as spectacular at home.”
    “Sure it will. And then after you’re done…”
    Jumping back, Laine turned towards him, his face once again radiant. “Oooh, I like that idea. Okay…”
    He looked around. “Music. We don’t have a stereo in here. Humph. I’ll just go get—”
    He caught Laine before he could leave. “Whoa, wait a minute. Did you forget where we are? You can’t do this here.”
    “Sure I can, this is where Keegan gave me lessons. I’ll just lock the door.”
    Dev’s eyes widened. Laine had been taking dancing lessons in the back of the shop?
    Laine locked the door and pulled out a chair from a desk near the back. “Sit right there. I’ll just hum.”
    Dev started to argue, but stopped himself. This ought to be interesting. “Okay.”
    “Ready?” One delicate red eyebrow arched at him.
    “I’m ready.”
    Laine started humming. It was supposed to be a sexy little song, instead it was a bit off key sounding more like circus music. Slinking around the chair, Laine tripped over the vase Caroline had knocked over. He grimaced but kept on humming.
    Dev’s cock jerked. Why Laine’s clumsiness turned him on, he didn’t know, but it did. It was just part of his mate.
    Laine grabbed the hem of his T-shirt. The circus tune came to a halt and the hip rolling slowed, long enough to get the shirt over his head…well almost over his head. He got hung up in it, with one arm still in the shirt and one arm out. “Shoot!” Laine fought free of the shirt. When he finally got it off his red hair was sticking up on one side. He brushed his hair out of his eyes and resumed dancing.
    Dev barely held back a chuckle. Laine just wasn’t coordinated enough to do two things at once.
    Tossing his green shirt at Dev, Laine ran his hand down his sculpted belly. The twin nipple rings caught Dev’s attention and Laine grinned knowingly.
    Laine unbuttoned the snap on his jeans, doing a little hip thrust.
    Dev rubbed his cock through his pants, never taking his eyes from the lithe figure in front of him. If Laine didn’t hurry up, he was going to be the one coming with barely any stimulation. He had to be out of his mind contemplating having sex in the backroom of Lainey’s shop, but that was exactly what he was going to do, if Laine would hustle.
    A quick turn and a shake of Laine’s pretty ass had Dev moaning. “Hurry up, Lainey.”

    Laine turned back around and unzipped his pants. He shimmied them off and stepped out of them with surprising grace. Under his jeans he wore silky white boxer shorts with tiny red hearts. His cock tented the material, straining towards Dev. There was already a little wet spot on the silk where the head of Laine’s cock was. The smell of arousal made Dev’s canines lengthen.
    Dev groaned. Thank God he’d stopped Laine from doing this in public. He’d have a fight on his hands keeping all those pervy old men off his mate. Damn, Laine was something else.
    Laine closed his eyes and trailed his hands down his chest, all the while swaying back and forth, and hooked his thumbs in his waistband. Snapping his eyes open, Laine revealed his wolf eyes, then he shoved the boxers down. His prick bobbed free, slapping against his lower abdomen. Wiggling, Laine let go and the silk fell to the floor around his ankles.
    Fuck. Dev reached out a hand to his mate. “Come here, honey.”
    Laine stopped humming and stepped towards Dev. “Oof!” The metal vase skidded to a halt against the leg of the chair, breaking off more petals, and Laine hit the floor with a thud.
    Dev scrambled up, reaching for his mate.
    Big gold eyes peered up at him.
    “Oops.” Laine shrugged. “Forgot about the vase.”
    Laughter bubbled up inside him and he offered Laine a hand. “Lainey?”
    “Yeah?”
    Dev sat and pulled him onto his lap, kissing him on the lips. “I love you.”
