Mixed Signals

Cold shivers went down Felix's spine at the realization. Kade was right. Felix didn't know when or how, but he had indeed moved closer, and was leaning forward, just a few inches shy of snuggling to Kade's chest.

…Damn that mate bond.

Felix jolted up, and shot a few steps back, putting some distance between them as quickly as he could.

"It's just-!" he wanted to explain himself, but he found out he couldn't. It was just the mate bond, yes…

But there was no mate bond, was there? Or so Felix adamantly claimed.

"It's just what?" Kade took a step forward, approaching Felix once again. To which Felix retreated, forcing Kade to take another step, only for Felix to retreat again…

Until he hit the table. He glanced around, wanting to dodge to the side, but it was too late. Kade was already right in front of him, blocking him with his arms from both sides, and pinning him to the Alpha.
