Sneak Peek of Tempting ch 40!!
"Brock! Oh my God! You came for me! My hero!" Clint shouted over the music, clearly drunk.
Brock was guessing it was the alcohol more so than his heat at this point.
"Come on, baby, let's go home," Brock murmured in his ear, wrapping an arm around his waist to hold him up.
Clint shook his head, pointing to the Alpha sitting in the booth.
Clint was clearly excited about introducing Brock to his boyfriend. Brock had heard a lot about this Sam guy. More than he'd like to have. Clint had only gone out with him a couple of times, but Clint swore that he was in love and wanted to mate with him. Brock always tried to brush it off. He could tell from the way that Clint talked about him that he was about to lose another nestpartner.
What Brock didn't know is why he cared so much. He didn't care when Rollin's got a mate or Natasha, or any of his many other nestpartner from over the years. For some reason the thought of losing Clint stung and it was more than just not wanting to be alone again. Brock had been pretty sure that when Clint planned this date, so close to their heat that it was honestly risky to go out on a date with an Alpha that he didn't intend to mate with, that Clint was going to let Sam take him home and help him through his heat.
Brock had felt the familiar loneliness settle like a rock in his stomach when Clint walked out the door, kissing Brock on the cheek and promising to see him later. Brock had been pretty sure that he wouldn't see Clint later, maybe not for a long time. Brock wasn't exactly the most likeable guy and most of his past nestpartners hadn't stayed in touch after they moved on.
Then Clint had texted him and Brock had immediately thought that Clint must have changed his mind. Maybe this Alpha turned out to be a creep and Clint didn't want to let him help him through his heat.
Was it bad that Brock had hoped that Clint had changed his mind? Surely that made him a bad person, right? He shouldn't want Clint to be lonely forever, just because he knew he would be. It wasn't fair to Clint who deserved so much more, but Brock had kinda hoped that they might be lonely together, at least for a while longer.
This week we get a glimpse at how Brock and Clint ended up mated to Sam👀👀
