“Why are you so insistent on thanking me for simply being a friend and caring about you?” It was mind-boggling to R’nd that that seemed like such a foreign concept to I’shan now. He really wished he hit N’gelt back that night. Okay, no, he didn’t. It would have upset I’shan and ended their friendship. I’shan was utterly in love with the drunken lout and he would have defended him over the best friend of several turns easily. Most people would. So he changed his wish and wished he had spoken up sooner about the relationship his friend had found himself stuck in. Perhaps it would have worked out like it did now, or better, since it seemed I’shan still wanted to make everything right with the brownrider instead of leaving him.
There was still that odd sensation of guilt and a bit of fear over how B’jin would react if he found out about he enjoyed with I’shan, but again, R’nd shoved it aside. It could eat at him later and he already knew he’d give in and tell B’jin himself before a rumour reached him and made it sound worse than it already was. And there he went thinking about everything too much again when he had one of his friends naked in bed and nearly begging for more. More attention, more understanding, more being cared about, more of a physical connection. R’nd was ready to give I’shan everything he needed that evening.
“Right now and up until you have to leave,” N’gelt was still an issue and R’nd didn’t want to see either of them injured because of a jealous brownrider enraged that his mate had a secret lover. R’nd almost laughed again when he realised that was exactly what he was. It wasn’t the first time, though he tried to stay away from mated couples, but this was different. I’shan was different; a friend, a mentor, special – and R’nd told him that. “You’re special to me, Shel. You’re one of the few I do crazy things for and enjoy it every step. I crave this as much as you.” A grin, and then R’nd was tumbling back as he pulled I’shan down with him to draw him into a kiss and whatever else his fellow bluerider’s eager and excessive nature needed to leave satisfied.
R’nd was a giver and I’shan would leave knowing that without a doubt.
