Chapter 24

“Sorry, if that was too much,”-Cassidy

Cassidy

I have a piss kink. I never tell anyone and no one I have explored it with has ever smelled as seductive as Remington. Usually, it just makes them smell like piss, because I have only explored it with kinky human and vampire women. Maybe Remi smells so good because he is a werewolf hybrid, or maybe it is because he is Remi.

I wasn’t going to mention temporary marking to Remi, but Dixon did and he’s right, it will keep women at bay more. I am still uncertain how much it will deter Shana.

I can’t help the hardon I have from the scent of Remi on me, or better yet, my scent on him, but watching him swim is also turning me on. His lithe body moves so beautifully and the water ripples around his pale flesh in a beautiful way. Beams of sunlight fall like a spotlight upon him and I am completely enchanted.

“Are you going to rinse off?” Remi asks me.

“Nah…I’ll shower tonight. It’s not like I smell like piss. I smell like you and me and we smell pretty fucking fantastic together,” I spout and then realize how that could sound a bit weird. “Did that sound… um…weird?”

Yes and no,” Remi replies. “I should probably dry off, huh?”

“Yeah, I guess, but we can stay longer if you would like,” I reply, enjoying the afternoon and watching Remi in a relaxed environment. He doesn’t relax often enough. “Remi, we should do stuff like this more often…you know, get away from work and the city and take time to hang out together.”

“I guess, but there is always so much to do,” he replies.

“So much that you stress yourself out and that can’t be healthy, Remi,” I sigh.

I hear him blow out a breath as he scrambles up the rock and sits high up, where he is mostly hidden from view.

“It is really beautiful here and now that you know my secret, maybe we could visit together in the summer and come to this spot….maybe,” he says after a long while. “I’m going to come down and pull my clothes on…can you, um…not look.”

“Sure,” I reply to his adorably shy request as if I haven’t seen him nearly naked multiple times.

I pull my clothes on after he is dressed and I can confirm he still smells like everything right and beautiful and sexy in the world. He already smelled good, but sleeping in the same room tonight is going to send me right into the realm of wet dreams. I’ll have to jerk off in the shower.

We make our way back to my family’s home and I lace my fingers through Remi’s as we stroll through the garden towards the house. Pink streaks paint the sky as the sun dips lower towards the horizon.

I try not to imagine what it would be like to hold Remi’s hand like this all the time, but it’s a lost cause, because all I can think about is how much I want this to be for real. If only Remi wanted the same thing.

“You two make a wonderful couple,” Uncle Jaxson says. “Lola showed me the pictures from last night.”

“Yeah, they thought it was adorable how we fell asleep watching the movie, and then I am sure they also got a kick out of me carrying Remi to bed,” I snort and Remi gasps.

“What pictures?”

“They got a few pictures of the pair of you snuggled up in the basement family room, asleep on the sofa, nothing big,” Jaxson replies. “You really do look great together and I can smell your commitment to one another, which doesn’t surprise me at all.”

“Do you think everyone else will be cool about it?” I ask.

“I think everyone else will be more than cool about it. I think they will be relieved and we should start checking our sheets on who was closest on the bet,” Uncle Jaxson teases to Remi’s horror.

“I doubt they actually gambled about the pair of us getting together, Remi,” I say, as we enter the kitchen and are greeted by my grandmother, mother and two of my aunts who are all preparing dinner.

“Finally!” My mother says.

“Did you all make bets?” I ask with an edge to my voice.

“No, we did not, or at least not those of us who would kick the butts of your uncles for teasing you about that,” Mom says.

“Speak for yourself! I’m still not conceding,” Grandma says. “Not until they are fully marked and mated will I concede!”

“Come on, Remi! They are definitely teasing. Grandma can be a tough nut to crack, but she also loves to tease me,” I snort as I pull Remi towards the family room, where we can snuggle and watch a movie until it’s time for dinner.

“You two must have had a really good day,” Melody says with a smile from across the room where she is reading. “You can smell your combined scents from all the way over here.”

“You should see the adorable pictures we got of them sleeping on that sofa last night!” Jasper chuckles as he and his partners in crime enter and plop down on the floor cushions in front of us.

“Are you watching anything good?” Lola asks.

“Not yet, we just sat down. Do you have anything in mind?” I ask.

“I heard the latest Curtis Stone movie is available through streaming,” Lola says with a dreamy tone.

“He’s actually a nice guy,” Remi replies. Now, I remember what I didn’t like about him. He is a good actor, but he kept flirting with Remi when he stopped by the office. I didn’t sign him, Reagan did.

I groan and Remi chuckles, “What? Jealous of the guy just because we have had a whole three conversations? That is not like you.”

“It’s not the conversations, it might be the gifts,” I pout.

“I’m the boss and he isn’t your client, he also gave Reagan and Fred gifts,” Remi says with an eye roll.

“Don’t bother with a movie, guys,” Aunt Robin says. “Get your butts upstairs and wash your hands, dinner will be served in ten minutes.”

Remi gets up and tugs my hand, I playfully pull him down and he lands in my lap. Lola and Melody whistle and the others hoot, which makes Remi blush. I kiss his forehead and then help him back to his feet before standing.

“Sorry, if that was too much,” I grumble.

“It was fine, Cass. I’m wearing your pee and you are wearing mine, a little playful display is nothing,” Remi sighs, but I hear something I can’t quite put my finger on in his voice. Disappointment? Frustration? It’s something…

I’m glad Remi didn’t land an inch further or he would have felt what he does to me and that might lead to more than just frustration and disappointment. I need to be more careful, but my instincts are to play and have fun with him, or worse…to kiss him and hold him in my arms.

We wash up and join everyone for dinner and rather than going down to watch a movie, I hop in the shower and then Remi and I get some tea with mom’s oatmeal cherry cookies and we each go to our separate beds and pick up books we are reading.

It would be better if we shared one big bed, but Remi definitely would not be up for that. My cock is all for it, even after my shower masturbation session. It just goes to show how much our combined scent affects me.

Even as the edges of my vision blurs and sleep pulls me under, I am dran to him.
