Holt POV

"Morning sleepyhead." I smiled looking at my sexy mate.

I still can't believe he said yes and accepted me.

"Morning my stallion." I bit my lip.

"I know." He kissed me.

"I already took Nash to school."

"What time is it? I didn't even hear you get up." I chuckled.

"It's ten in the morning and because I made little movement. I didn't want to wake you." He nodded and got up.

"Do you need help in the shower?" He smirked.

"Are you just trying to get a look at me naked?" I blushed.

"No..." I dragged out.

I got up and quickly adjusted myself when he wasn't looking.

"I'm only teasing, I do need help though." He said.

I nodded and put something on his cast to prevent it from getting wet.

"There you go." I smiled helping into the shower and sat him into the shower chair.

"Thank you for being here with me." He said.

"I'm here for you because you're more than my boyfriend, you're more than my best friend and regardless of being my mate, I am so grateful that you're mine as I am yours. I love being by your side and I hope you love being by mine. I will forever and always be here for you by your side. I love you, Kase Bishop Winters." I smiled and kissed him, wiping the tears from his eyes.

"I..." I shook my head.

"You don't have to say anything Kase. What matters is I got that out. You don't have to say anything." I smiled.

"You don't get it...Do you know how much I love you? Holt, more than you know and it hurts so badly. I want to take you and you to take me. You have shown me true and honest friendship and even better, what true love can feel like. I can see now what my mom and dad had and what my stepdad and mom had. You're the only person I want to talk to when I wake up in the morning or when I'm having a bad day. You're the only person I will ever have eyes for. Thanks for always making me feel better and thank you for loving me. I love you, Holt Alexander Blackstone." I bit my lip sniffling.

After we both showered, I helped him get dressed and drove to get food.

"What do you feel like eating?" I asked.

"Can we go to IHOP?" I nodded.

On our way, I couldn't help but wonder what we would do for the rest of the week. I have to figure out what we can do with Kase still having a cast on his leg. That shit is heavy and I don't want him to be struggling so much. Just maybe...

"Before we go to IHOP, I need to stop somewhere." I said.

"That's fine." He smiled and took my hand in his.

When we stopped at a medical supply store, I walked in and walked out already knowing what I was coming for.

After putting Kase's new wheelchair in my trunk, I got back in and turned on the radio and we were off to get food. When a song came on he looked at me and just started singing.

"Dancing in the dark
Middle of the night
Taking your heart
And holding it tight
Emotional touch
Touching my skin
And askin' you to do
What you've been doing
All over again
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I've just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go." He sang

"It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell, I'm under
Oh, it's your love." We sang together.

"Better than I was
More than I am
And all of this happened
By taking your hand
And who I am now
Is who I wanted to be." He sang and held my hand the whole time and I can feel his love he has for me and I had to wipe my eye from the tear that wanted to fall.

When the song ended we were just smiling at each other and pulled into the parking lot of the IHOP and I got out grabbing his chair and opened his door.

"Stallion, did you get me a wheelchair?" He smiled.

"I did, I didn't like seeing you upset over the crutches so I found this to be easier." I smiled.

"How did I get so lucky to have a man like you to be my life partner until the end of time?" He said.

"Lucky may be a stretch, I still feel one day you'll leave me finding someone you find more appealing." I bit my lip looking down until he lifted my head by my chin.

"There is no one on this earth, planet, or even galaxy I rather spend my life with than you. You are the man I will and forever will love." He kissed me and I melted into the kiss.

"I love you my Hercules." I smiled.

"I love too my stallion." He winked.

When we went in we got a table and looked at the menu.

"Did you want to do something together before we have to pick up Nash or wait and the three of us do something?" He looked at me and I chuckled at his face he made while thinking.

"We can do something together first then go get Nash." I nodded.

"Sounds like a plan." I said.

When the food came we just ate in a comfortable silence.

"How are your dads?" He randomly asked.

"They're fine, papa Adin is having a hard time with their pregnancy. They are still doubting themselves. I honestly have to call my dad too, I haven't texted him since I picked you up yesterday from the hospital." I said looking at my food.

"They're a strong person, they'll get through it and you better call him." I nodded.

"What do you think it would be like if we had kids?" He asked.

"I'm honestly scared of childbirth, it sounds painful and I just generally like the idea of adopting." I smile.

"You wouldn't want a child of your own? I'm not trying to fight or argue but I'm genuinely curious." He bit his lip and I can see the unshed tears.

"I'm not upset, you don't have to cry, love. Yes, I would love to have a child of my own but things happen for a reason unexpectedly and I won't fight that and hope you'll still be by my side if and when the going gets tough." I wiped his tears.

"I love you." He said.

"And I love you."

Just before we left, I ordered Nash something and paid for the food.

"It's later than I thought so do you just wanna hang out by the park across from his school until he gets out?" I asked Kase.

"Sure, we can do that." I nodded.

"So you can update your relationship status but you can't shoot me a text saying you're ok?" Is what I heard dad say as soon as he answered the phone.

"Dad I'm sorry, it won't happen again. I was just so busy with everything and telling Kase we were mates that time slipped away from us." I waited for a reply.

"Dad?" I asked when he didn't reply.

"Sorry, dropped my phone. Did you say you finally told Kase you were mates? Did he accept you? Please tell me you guys didn't mate." He asked as serious as he could.

"Yes I told him and he accepted and no we didn't mate. As open as we are about sex, I know it's important to wait when the time is right no matter how strong the urge is." I said.

"He better have or I'd have papa Thayne lock him in a cell until he came to his senses, and good, I'm happy to hear that son." He said seriously and I smiled.

"I love you, dad." I chuckled.

"I love you too kiddo." He said.

"Give everyone a hug and kiss for me will you?" I asked.

"Will do." He said and I hung up.

When we got to the park, I got out and helped Kase out.

"Thanks, Stallion." I chuckled.

"No problem Hercules." I said and we walked towards the park.

When we got there we just laid in the grass.

There's just something about laying in the grass and being with my mate. God, I love him.

"This is nice you know." Kase said.

"What is?"

"Being here with you and just life in general. I cut off most of my friends who only used me for money, got the man of my dreams... life is just perfect right now."

"I couldn't agree more, my Hercules." I said playing with his hair.

After some time, the school bell rang and we drove to the school to get Nash.

"Hey, Nash, how was school." Kase and I asked.

"Great, until some jerk ruined my pride shirt." He huffed.

"I'm sure we can get it out, what is it? Ink or paint?" I asked as I pulled out of the parking lot.

"He used black ink, I'm not sure if it was permanent or not." He said.

"It'll be alright." I said and gently squeezed his shoulder.

When we got home I had Nash change and took his shirt to see if I could get the stain out.

"Are we cooking today or eating takeout?" Kase asked.

"It depends on what we wanna eat." I said.

"Can we have Chinese?" Nash asked.

"I haven't had Chinese food in forever." Kase said. You could see the longing in his eyes.

"Chinese it is." I chuckled.

After trying to get the stain out of Nash's shirt, I finally got it.

"I finally got the stain out." I said to Nash when I walked into the kitchen.

"Thanks, Holt." Nash said hugging me.

"No problem, what are you guys watching?" I asked sitting next to him and Kase on the other side.

"We're watching Milo Murphy's Law." Nash said.

"What is that?" I chuckled.

"It's complicated but it's about this kid named Milo who always expects the unexpected and has a strong sense of optimism to help him get through any problem. It's honestly a good show and addictive." I nodded and we just watched together.

I don't even remember passing out but by the time I woke up, it was like six in the afternoon.

"I'll order the food now." I said yawning.

"Did you get your shirt from the dryer Nash?" I asked standing and stretching.

"I did, thanks again Holt, you're the best." He hugged me.

"Not a problem." I said.

"Where's Kase?" I asked.

"He's right there." He points to a sleeping Kase.

"Ok, well just let him sleep." I said and he nodded.

"I'm hungry, did you order already?" Nash asked.

"Not yet, I'm waiting for Kase to wake up. I got you some food from IHOP, we went there earlier." I said.

"Thanks, Holt." I chuckled.

"Sure." I ruffled his hair.

As we played a couple different games, I couldn't help but watch Kase sleeping peacefully, listening to his soft snores and his chest rising and falling slowly. His hair was messed up, he had one hand under the back of his head, the other resting on his stomach and his mouth was hanging open. He looked adorable and relaxed.

It wasn't long after we started a new game that Kase woke up.

"You know you could have ordered food without me. " Kase said, looking at us playing Uno around the table.

"It didn't feel right so I waited." I said.

"Ok well, you can order now." He chuckled.

"Well aren't you sassy after a nap." I said.

We all laughed and I ordered our food.

"I win." I smirked.

"Ugh..." Nash groaned.

"Don't be a sore loser Nash." I teased. Kase sat up and he smiled at me. Nash went into the kitchen since he said he was thirsty so I turned my attention to my mate.

"Hi." He whispered as I cupped his cheek.

"Hi, how was your nap?" I asked as I stroked his cheek softly.

"It was good. I had an incredible dream about our future."

"What was it about?"

"We were in our twenties, had good jobs, Nash was about to graduate high school and we as in you and I were both pregnant at the same time with our first kids."

"That sounds like a wonderful future to have with you. One hopefully will be just like that." I said and he put his hands on my face and pulled me onto him and he laid us back onto the couch.

"We can always practice for that future." He whispered in my ear and kissed down my ear, my neck and across my jaw and finally his lips landed on mine in a heated passionate kiss that took my breath away. I could feel his growing length under me against my stomach and gosh if he didn't feel good. I'm sure he could feel mine because he moaned as he moved his thigh between my legs and I groaned into the kiss. I moved my hand down his stomach and right down his length and cupped my hand over it and he moved his hips into my hand and moaned loudly.

"God Holt, I'm gonna..." He tried to speak but I kissed him as I put my hand inside his pants and felt the soft skin of his dick and started moving my hand and he squeezed my arm and buried his face in my neck as he exploded in my hand.

"That was quick." I said and he blushed hard.

"Sorry, I just wasn't expecting you to do that." He said shyly and I kissed his lips.

"Don't be sorry, it just means I turn you on more than I thought I did." I pulled my hand out of his pants and kissed him again and went to wash my hands. When I was done I smelt the food before I even walked into the kitchen.

"Foods here." Nash said as he got the containers out of the bag.

"I see that. Are you going to eat with us in the living room?" I asked as I grabbed mine and Kase's food.

"Nah I'm going to eat it in my room and work on my homework. I have a test tomorrow so I need to study."

"Alright. If you need anything just let us know." I said and he smiled and went upstairs.

"Where's Nash?" Kase asked as I put the food down.

"In his room eating, he has homework and needs to study for a test tomorrow."

"So, we have the night to ourselves?" He asked as he rubbed his foot against my leg.

"We do, what do you have in mind?"

"Well, maybe you can shower with me tonight?" He asked and bit his plump lip that I find very sexy when he does that.

"What do you plan on doing to me Mr. Winters?" I asked and gave him his food.

"It's what I want you to do to me and me to do for you."

"And what do you want to do to me and what do you want to do for me?"

"I want to shower and cuddle, kiss until we can't breath and go to sleep holding one another. What I want to do for you is to return the favor because I am dying to feel you in my hand and mouth, daddy. I've been a bad boy." He said and I was chewing my food and almost choked. I coughed and hit my chest a few times.

"What?" I asked and he hid his face in his hands. I pulled his hands away and he looked down, not meeting my eyes.

"Kase, do you think I want that from you?" I asked and he shrugged one shoulder.

"I love you Kase, so much but...look at me please? I don't want to talk to your head." I said and gently lifted his head up to meet my gaze.

"But I don't want you to feel like you need to say things like that or do anything to me. I want you to do anything you want or say what you want because you want to. I have no problem in doing what you want, whatever it may be."

"That's the thing, I want to say things like that and do whatever it is you want Holt." He said as he looked me in the eyes to show me he is serious.

"Well how about we wait on having sex, we just did our first sexual thing and I want to take things slow. You may not be a virgin but you know I am, I'm not ready for that yet. When we get to that point, we will do whatever you want, until that time comes though we will only go as far as I went with you." I said and he nodded and took a bite of his food. Is he into really kinky stuff or is 'daddy' it? If my mate wants to have some kinky fun I'll be more than willing to make him happy, when the time is right. I don't want a kid so young in my life.

"Want to watch a movie before we go up to bed?" I asked when we were done eating.

"Sure. What do you want to watch?" He asked as he looked through the guide on the TV.

"The Blindside." I said when I saw it was just starting so he put it on and I pulled him closer to me and he laid his head on my chest as we watched the movie.

"This and Remember the Titans are my two favorite movies about football." He said as the movie played.

"I honestly have not seen either one. I heard about them which is why I said this movie but I have never really watched much TV growing up." He looked up at me with his jaw dropped.

"You, what are you serious?" He asked and I nodded.

"Yea, I wasn't much of a TV person. I'm still not but once in a while it's not bad to just sit and cuddle while watching TV." I said and he nodded.

"Alright I'll take back my thought that you aren't normal." He giggled as I gasped and tickled him until he couldn't breathe and I kissed him, taking the rest of his air out of his lungs.

"I am normal." I stated and he laughed so hard his face was red and he had tears running down his cheeks holding his stomach.

"That's the best you can do?" He asked once he calmed down and I shrugged.

"I am though. You on the other hand, not so much." I smirked and jumped off the couch when he tried to smack me but he hit the couch instead and I laughed.

"To slow, slow poke." I said and poked his nose. He grabbed my hand and pulled me back down on top of him.

"You really like me on top of you, don't you?" I asked as I placed soft kisses on his cheek.

"Hm I do. You are really comfortable and so warm." He said and I smiled.

"You are too. I think I'll just lay here and sleep like this."

"I love you but no, I don't want to die."

"Wow so first you say I'm not normal now you're calling me fat. What did I ever do to deserve this kind of treatment?" I asked with fake hurt in my voice and he looked like he was going to die of laughter trying to hold it in. I huffed and crossed my arms and looked away from him. That made him crack and he laughed until he was choking and I smiled at him, loving the sound of his laughter.

"Ok ok, I'm done, I think." He said and I chuckled as he wiped his eyes.

"God I love you Kase." I said and he smiled softly.

"I love you too Holt but seriously, you're not sleeping on me. Beside me, yes but not on me." He said as he rubbed my arm up and down.

"I won't sleep on you, even though I find you very comfortable." I said and he wrapped his arms around my neck and pulled my body closer as close as I could go and kissed me, long into the evening, the movie ended and a new one started but at this moment, with him in my arms, nothing else mattered.

I was with my mate and this moment in time was perfect. That was until the door to the house opened and in walked his friends, stopping when they saw us mid kiss, half naked and hard.
