Josh swallowed. “Oh.”
“You’ve got different facets.” Raymond quirked his lips. “Like how I’m not dumb just because I look strong. I mean… I’m an alpha werewolf, remember? All angry and aggressive, right?”
Josh snorted and nuzzled up under Raymond’s chin. “Definitely not.”
“Yeah. So see? You might be feeling something extra right now, but that’s okay. It’s just another thing that’s part of you. And being honest, I’m kind of loving this. The sex was great, but getting to wash you and feed you and hold you is…” Raymond let out a slow breath. “It’s nice.”
Raymond felt more than heard Josh’s chuckle, tickling his skin. “Nice, huh?”
“Fucking perfect,” Raymond amended with a grin, giving Josh a squeeze. “We can have a contest, if you want. See who can be more affectionate.”
“Either way I win.”
“Yeah,” Raymond said, still grinning. “Me too.”
Josh took a deep breath, let it out, and then pulled back again, eyes narrowed. “You beat me to it, by the way, and I’m mad about it.”
“Beat you to what?”
“Saying I love you.” Josh poked Raymond in the chest. “I was trying to choose the right moment and then you went and stole my thunder.”
Raymond laughed, about ready to burst with how happy he was. “Nothing wrong with second place.”
Josh stuck out his tongue, because sometimes he could be five, before leaning in to brush his lips over Raymond’s, barely a kiss. “Yeah,” he murmured. “Well, I fucking love you too, then.”
Raymond smiled against Josh’s mouth and moved to make the kiss a proper one.
