My Friend My Mate

Chapter 9

Josh & Xander

Josh: "What the hell were you thinking?"

Xander: "I don't understand what you mean"

Josh: Why were you flirting with Stella?

Xander: Why? What's wrong with that?

Josh: Nothing .. Nothing is wrong ... it's just... it's just that I don't wanna see you flirt with her

Xander: Oh Okay, you should have just mind linked me... I was anyway not interested in her, I mean she is pretty but not like ... Bella

Josh: Shut up ... I don't want to see you flirt with Stella, Bella or any other wolf.

Xander: Oh ... is that jealousy I smell coming from my little mate

Josh: Don't call me that ... and No I am not jealous why should I be..

Xander: Feisty ... I like it. Do you want to say anything else my little mate.

Josh: No

Xander: Okay (I see Josh seems to be zoned out I guess he is talking to his wolf, he seems worried. So I walk up to him and hold his hand in mine. He looks up and his eyes are black. Gary has taken over)

Gary: Mate ... You look very hot today

Xander: Thanks Gary but could you please give Josh his control back. I don't want anything to happen between us if he is not okay with it

Gary: But don't you feel the mate bond like I do?

Xander: I feel it Gary and since I am an Alpha is extremely strong and very painful to be away from him but I have too until he is ready to accept it. So could you please ...

Gary: Okay but don't keep me waiting too long. You know we will go into heat soon.

Xander: s**t I forgot about that ...

Josh: Xander I need to ask you something

Xander: Yes ... what is it?

Josh: Do you .. I mean feel the pull ... I mean ... I know we are both straight but do you?

Xander

I do Josh and its very strong. You have no idea how difficult it is for me to control myself and Ryder to not take you right here right now anyway I want. (Josh blushes a dark read). Every time I see you something happens to be you're scent its like a drug to me, driving me crazy begging me to hold you, feel you against me, under me. (Josh has turned even more red if that's possible after listening to Xander's confession about his feelings towards him.) Josh ... 

Josh: Hmmm

Xander walks closer and pulls Josh to his chest. "May I" he says and Josh looks up to see Xander looking at him with love, respect and passion.

 "May I ... what?" (Josh ask Xander in a soft nervous tone). Xander brushes his fingers across Josh's cheeks lightly caressing and says "May I kiss you, I can't resist you any more."
