Grayday turned his head at the sound of Steady's voice and found himself speechless before the alpha. Inwardly he cursed his absent tongue, but he knew that Steady would expect an answer after an admission like that.
"We'd been getting closer," he said after a moment, his voice usually soft and hesitant. "And then the other night, she wanted... she wanted me to say something, you know? Make it real. But I couldn't." There was more to it than that, he was sure, but his carefully edited version covered everything he was willing to admit to. Except - "I guess she felt that I was leading her on. And I didn't mean to be, but I guess maybe... maybe I was."
There. He could admit to that as well, even though saying it to Steady left a cold, weighty feeling in the pit of his stomach. Head down and ears slicked back, Grayday waited for everything to start crumbling down.
