    With Caution
    Remi shook his head. “I don’t know. Dirk never had me questioned. I was in the hospital for most of the investigation. Not that it would have mattered, I didn’t remember the attack. Still don’t.” He looked down. “I just remember…” Taking several deep breaths, he rolled his eyes toward the ceiling, keeping the tears at bay. He finally turned back to Jake and smiled. It was a sad smile, full of sorrow.
    It made Jake’s heart hurt. He wanted to haul Remi into his arms and comfort him, but he didn’t dare. Remi wasn’t telling him something and Jake needed to find out what that something was. He had a feeling it was very important. “What do you remember?”
    “Doesn’t matter. I don’t recall anything useful. I can’t even remember the movie we went to see, or why we were in the field.”
    Standing, Jake caught Remi’s arm and pulled him up. “I need you to trust me.”
    “I do trust you. I trust you so much it scares the hell outta me.” Remi’s voice was soft, awed.
    The honesty and faith went straight to Jake’s head and his cock, which had never fully softened. He stared into Remi’s beautiful eyes, watching as they shifted. “I’ve been needing to kiss you since the moment I got here.”
    Remi’s eyes widened, then he sighed and closed his eyes.
    It was all the invitation Jake needed. He never even stopped to think what he was doing. He just took what his mate offered, tugging Remi forward and slanting his mouth over Remi’s. Without wasting any time, his tongue traced the seam of Remi’s lips.
    Remi opened, kissing back. He let Jake explore his mouth, following Jake’s lead.
    Panting, he pulled away and held Jake’s gaze as he slid to the floor. Resting his head against Jake’s thigh, he closed his eyes again. “Jake.” His voice was strangled, a raspy plea. The war he waged in his mind was written all over his face.
    Running his hand over Remi’s head, Jake tried to soothe him. “Remi.” Why was he doing this?
    A hand snaked up the inside of his leg, stroking his calf through the denim. Remi rubbed his cheek against Jake’s leg and his pale green eyes fluttered open, already shifted into wolf eyes. He lifted his nose in the air and sniffed. His fangs peeked out from under www.samhainpublishing.com 51

    his top lip. Moving his face closer to Jake’s crotch, he scrunched his nose and snuggled his face against Jake’s jeans.
    Fuck. Jake hissed out a breath and his cock jerked. His vision blurred, no longer seeing color, making him blink several times to focus.
    He brushed his fingers through Remi’s hair. He wanted desperately to draw Remi’s head forward and demand Remi take out his cock and suck it. But he didn’t dare.
    His hand clenched and unclenched in the silky dark hair. He should stop this, yet he hadn’t started it in the first place.
    Remi blinked and unbuttoned Jake’s jeans without ever looking away. Slowly, he tugged down the waistband, licking his lips as he bared the head of Jake’s cock.
    Oh God. The sight of him licking his lips— Jake moaned.
    As Remi pulled the pants down further, Jake’s prick slapped against his lower abdomen, leaving a wet spot. His conscience screamed at him to make certain this was what Remi really wanted, yet at the same time he found himself reluctant to break the spell. Maybe Remi needed this…maybe they both did.
    Remi leaned forward and buried his nose in Jake’s balls. A soft drawn-out satisfied sound left his throat. It wasn’t the sound of a reluctant man. It was like music to Jake’s ears.
    Something warm and wet slid across his balls. Startled, he caught Remi’s hair in his fist and tilted his head back slightly. As good as it felt, Jake was still being cautious. Had he somehow made Remi feel pressured?
    Remi shook off Jake’s hold and licked a long line up Jake’s balls to the base of his cock. His eyes were glazed over as he concentrated on what he was doing. The look of sheer bliss on his face was all Jake needed to see to make him give in and enjoy the moment. It was also the prettiest fucking sight he had ever seen. His stomach muscles clenched and unclenched. His prick jerked.
    Using Remi’s hair to pull him away, Jake grabbed his dick with his other hand and tapped Remi on the cheek with it. And damned if Remi didn’t open his mouth, trying
