Chocolate Bites Read Free

thank you.”
    He turned his attention back to the werewolf. “So that was three dozen of the petit fours? Assorted?”
    “Yeah. Avoid the chocolate ones.”
    Connor nodded. Yes, chocolate wasn’t good for werewolves, his mate’s predilections aside. He filled a large box with the three dozen sweets, which sold him out aside from eight chocolate ones, and wrapped the string around it. “Will that be all?”
    “Yeah.”
    He rang the sale up and took the werewolf’s money, watching wide-eyed as the guy took the box and he and his friends left. After they’d gone, the next lady in line shook her head. “Can you believe that? Of course, I always heard their kind had a sweet tooth.”
    Connor couldn’t help grinning. “Yes, ma’am, they do indeed.”

    Dayton grinned as he watched Connor bounce over to the bank with the deposit bag. It had been a great first day. Connor had sold almost everything and was talking about hiring some help at the cash register. Then they went back to the bakery, using the stairs in the back to walk up to the second floor of the old house where they’d moved in.
    “Can you believe it?” Connor asked, still bouncing as he headed up the stairs and unlocked the door. “And I need to make more apple tarts, because those sold out really early and the mayor’s wife wants some. The mayor’s wife, can you believe that?”
    Dayton just nodded and smiled, like he’d been doing since Connor locked up behind the last customer, clearly high on his successful first day. He loved seeing his mate so happy.
    “Do you think the werewolves will be back for more petit fours tomorrow? They’re really the only ones who seemed to like them and they’re a pain to make, so I won’t do it if they don’t sell, but if they come in regularly for them...” Connor stopped and shot him a sharp look as he closed the door. “You didn’t put them up to that, did you?”
    He snorted. “They’re the Alpha’s security, and I’m a pain in his butt -- they wouldn’t do me any favors.”
    “No? Well, cool then!” Connor bounced some more and Dayton watched the pert ass happily.
    Then he noticed his mark on Connor’s throat and he reached out to snag a hand, tug Connor in close. Connor laughed and danced away, making Dayton growl. He did love a good hunt.
    He started stalking toward Connor. Grinning at him, Connor headed for the hall, moving slowly, almost casually. Dayton knew better. He pounced before Connor’d more than four steps -- if he’d waited, his lover would have run. Not that that would have been a bad thing, but he preferred Connor breathless because of him, not the chase.
    They landed in a heap, Connor breathless anyway, and still laughing. “You have a thing for me and floors.”
    Dayton shook his head. “No. I have a thing for you.”
    “Oh.” Connor stopped laughing and he reached up, stroking Dayton’s cheeks. “I do love you.”
    “Good.” He pressed their lips together, licking his way in to taste. “You had a hot chocolate.”
    Connor nodded. “Just before I closed up. So I’d taste good for you.”
    “Always taste good.” He shifted, rolled them so Connor was on top and he was the one on the floor. “Want you to ride me.”
    Connor nodded, peeling off his jacket and squirming out of his pants. Dayton made short work of his own clothes, so they were naked at the same time; it was best when they were both naked.
    “How do you always do that?”
    “Magic.”
    Smiling, Connor bent over him and kissed him. “I believe that.”
    Damn, he loved this man. He put a hand behind Connor’s neck and took another kiss, a deep one this time. He tasted the chocolate, but even better than that, he tasted Connor.
    His lover broke the kiss and put two fingers in his mouth. He sucked on them, eyes wide when Connor pulled them away and reached behind himself. “Oh, fuck.”
    “In a minute.” Connor undulated on him, cock moving as Connor did, slapping the lean belly.
    He was expected
