That warning issued, enjoy……

He'd been up since six am, wandering the halls of Malfoy manner with nothing to do but wait. His patience was gone, and he was so ready to just apparate to Crescenzo's early, had even considered it, but figured dying before you met your mate was never a good idea. Draco, just wanted to see him again, watch him go about his daily activities even. Last night there had been no dream, and Draco figured they would go away now that he had an identity on his mate, however his father said time would tell on that. Some veela and their' mates always shared a dream connection. Draco only hoped if that was so the sweating would go away at some point. Would be bloody weird for his mate to have to wake up with his sweat everywhere in their' bed. Their' bed. Just at the thought he got aroused, which really wasn't surprising. His veela portion was priming his body for his mate, making it difficult to think of much else. The same veela blood was responsible for his claiming thoughts as well. Survival of the species was how the experts put it. The hormones tried to make sure that the veela or mate did not ignore the bond.

Not bloody likely, was all he could think. Even with out the veela blood promoting his thoughts Draco knew Harrison Kyler was delectable! It was only now that he began to think about what would happen if his mate already had a girlfriend or boyfriend. Would his mate hate him for destroying the relationship? Not that Draco cared much, he was a Malfoy, and had enough Slytherin in him to fully believe to the victor go the spoils, and he would be the victor. The veela allure wouldn't allow anything else, and he wasn't above ruthlessly using it on his mate. What ever worked would do.

Draco prayed his mate would be at least curious to meet him though. Of course it wasn't likely, and less then twenty-four hours wasn't near enough time for his mate to digest what this all meant. He would probably be upset. Hopefully he wasn't a crier Draco thought with a shiver. He was protective of his mate already but crying people always turned him off, especially when people turned on the fake tears!

It only tended to annoy him. Especially when the crying was high pitched like Pansy Parkinson. Merlin when she fake sobbed glass broke!

By the time it hit eight forty-five Draco was at the apparition point dressed and ready to go. His parents were also outfitted and sitting waiting for the time to pass along with him. It was infuriating for a Malfoy to be sitting around waiting on something out of their control in such a manner, usually they were the ones controlling the meetings and making people wait on them. Merlin his mate better be damn worth this unacceptable lowering of self he was feeling.

At nine o'clock Harry was on his second cup of coffee and had decided to look casual. It wouldn't do for him to be sitting around nervously. Trighton and he had decided on several plans of action depending on Harry's opinion of the family and the veela.

Trighton was sitting behind his desk, and Harry standing at one of the windows looking out onto the bay when the three pops were heard.

Draco's first look at the office showed nothing more then the head master in front of him, and he glanced at him somewhat questioningly. For one second his thoughts went to the horrible possibility that his mate had flipped out and refused to come. The headmaster then gave a small up turning of his lips, while looking over behind Draco and his parents' right shoulders, and pointing with a finger still on his tea cup.

Draco looked in the direction and saw the best thing he had ever seen in his life. The scent was at its strongest now, but instead of weakening him like last time, it did the opposite. Bloody intoxicating though. For once Draco was speechless. This was his mate! After so much time searching him his mate had been right here, safe and sound, living his life with no idea that Draco had been desperately looking literally around the world for him. And now the young man about ten feet away from him stared Draco right in the eyes, with and unwavering emerald gaze. There was no anger in them, perhaps mild curiosity. Brilliant emerald eyes Draco thought, and never even noticed Headmaster Trighton walking over and standing in between them. Finally Draco remembered his manners and stepped a few feet up for a proper introduction. Proper hell, Draco thought, all he wanted to do was jump the young man.

"Lord Draco Malfoy," Trighton started formal introductions, "may I introduce Harrison Kyler. Kyler, may I present to you Lord Draco Severus Malfoy."

Draco took a few steps forward and held his hand out to the young man, who had put down his coffee cup on a nearby bookshelf, and stepped forward away from the window.

"Call me Draco, please. It's a pleasure I assure you." Lord he was the best looking thing Draco had ever seen. Draco noticed his mate was a few inches shorter then his own 6 foot 2 inches, and was actually pleased with it. And the green shirt, well he would be ordering a hell of a lot more of those.

Finally, Harry took his hand, either not paying attention to or ignoring the small little shock wave that Draco felt go through his arm.

"I'm usually called Kyler to familiars. It's a pleasure as well." Kyler was still in a little shock from the time he looked over at the pop. Veela allure here we come, was all that ran through his mind at first. Draco, yes the name suited him. Dragon. He was taller then Kyler's own six feet, with pale skin that suited his white blonde hair. The hair was spiked a little, though stylishly. Draco had an athletic build, a very attractive one in Kyler's view, and stormy gray eyes. He had expected a man that was good looking but felt a little blown away by the man standing in front of him. The Greeks definitely would have labeled him an Adonis.

That man was currently moving in on his private space, Harry noted, as Draco had not yet let go of his hand and was stepping forward till their chests almost touched. Harry stayed still, a little out of his element but he wasn't upset, more curious as to the blonde intentions with his parents standing not more then ten feet away. Draco's face neared and went to the side of Harry's and unmistakably Harry felt the Adonis sniff under his ear and pull away with a predatory smile.

Draco immediately was aware of Kyler's questioning glance.

"Just double checking. I know you don't notice it, but you really do smell intoxicating" Draco said it in such a natural way that Harry didn't even react. And instead found him self smiling and then chuckling at the odd remark and ice breaker the veela had sent his way.

"Making sure you didn't pick up the smell of the wrong person I gather, and make a mistake?"

Draco immediately heard the lyrical accent he hadn't heard in the formal introduction and felt him self getting a little aroused, okay a lot. Not an appropriate time he knew, but how was he supposed to react to that fantastic husky chuckle and light accent? He imagined that reaction was not going to go away anytime soon. And pick the wrong person, was he crazy!? His mate was going to be lucky if Draco let him out of bed the first month after they officially mated!

"No, just can't believe I got this damned lucky," Draco said seriously and the smile on Kyler's face vanished to a quizzical frown. Anyone else Draco knew would have laughed it off or said something a little flirtatious in return, but his Kyler, and he was HIS, seemed to have no idea what to say. Not at all comfortable with flirtation Draco thought, well that was going to change quickly. Or maybe he wasn't comfortable with the male to male interaction yet. No matter which it was, Draco thought it certain his mate was going to get over both in fine fashion. Draco would keep Kyler on his toes and a little off balance.

The little cough behind alerted Draco back to the fact that they were not alone. He turned and properly introduced Kyler to his parents. His father already looked pleased at Kyler's natural energy and strength, and his mother smiled right away over Kyler's impeccable manners and attire. Their' son could have gotten a hell of a lot worse.

Trighton then took the meet and greet from there, offering to let Kyler show Draco around some of the grounds while he and Lord and Lady Malfoy worked out a visitation schedule. Draco was a little surprised that the headmaster basically stated he would not be allowing Kyler off the Island anytime soon and all socializing would happen here. He was even more surprised when Kyler agreed, and seemed to know that this was the plan.

Kyler walked Draco down the steps of the headmaster's office and out into the campus of the Academy. Everyone was in club meetings this morning or sleeping in, so only a few bodies could be detected in looking around, and none of them paid any attention to the two young men.

Kyler made an initial stop at the coffee bar where he was pleased to see Draco did in fact place an order. They then started to walk to the outside premises of the school, where Harry knew there was a path to the beach. A little more private and he certainly knew people would get a little interested once they saw the young man not in school attire. Crescenzo was not a school that people gossiped at but he didn't want people even curious. This was nobody's concern but his own.

"So do tell me all about yourself." Draco started, and saw the some-what startled look that Kyler gave him, and coughed quickly. Immediately he recognized that Kyler wasn't a person he could order around. It was something he did innately, but Draco realized he would have to back up. Sooo his mate wasn't exactly submissive or prone to take orders, expected, but he realized there were probably easier ways to learn that then what he just did.

"That came out a little wrong. Why don't I start," at Kyler's nod Draco continued. "I am the only child of my parents. We're an English family, rooted in magic for centuries, and one of the most pureblooded lines. We tend to be extremely proud of it. Malfoy industries is run by us as well as several other business ventures under other names. I go to a school in Scotland, at a school which you may have heard of. Hogwarts. I'll be finished there at the end of this year, and then I plan to get my muggle MBA to take over the Malfoy corporations when I am ready. Which won't take a lot of time. I happen to be brilliant with numbers." Draco stated the last with a full smile.

Draco waited a moment to see if Kyler was going to pick up a bit and share, but it was obvious his Emerald had no intention of doing anything of the sort. He was adorable though, the way he looked straight ahead giving the clear message off that he was staying silent. Draco wondered though if Kyler was giving him a little reprisal for the pathetic little order he had dished out. If so, then he decided he would take it gracefully.

"I am in the Slytherin house at my school. The house has a fairly poor reputation outside of those in it. We are known for being arrogant, pure blood fanatics even though most of us aren't, temperamental, and stubborn. Just thought you should know." He watched as Kyler showed a slight up lifting of the lips. He had hoped for another husky chuckle but Draco would take what he could get.

"I was sixteen when I came into my inheritance, but I knew about my genetics since I was very young so wasn't surprised like a lot of people are. And then I started searching."

This time Draco stayed silent a bit, and finally was rewarded.

"Just like that then, give all your energy into searching for someone you don't know?" It sounded a little odd to Harry to put all your energy into finding someone you had no idea was worthy of that energy.

"Yes." And that was all the reply that Kyler got from the blonde walking next to him.

They walked for a while and Kyler led the way to a pier overlooking the ocean. During which Draco went on about his life, friends, hobbies and as much information as he thought one should give on the first meeting. The basics of himself, but he was a little surprised to find that his Kyler was still silent. A little frown on his face as if he was working out some problem in his head. Finally Draco became a little irritated at the little silent treatment. Was worse then tears in his opinion!

"Are you going to tell me what the problem is or keep it to yourself?" Finally they stopped at the edge of the pier and instead of watching the water Draco turned to face Kyler head on, better not to give his mate any ideas that he was the type of person to let this type of thing go. A silent treatment would never be part of their' relationship.

Draco wondered though at the possibilities.

"If your pissed at my high handedness then you better say it now. Though it really is who I am." Silence.

"If you're not attracted to me then you might as well tell me now too. I mean I can deal with it. I know it's a lot to take in, the whole guy aspect especially if you don't have experience in that area."

He heard Kyler snort at that, and finally Kyler turned, his eyes Draco noticed a brilliant green. Temper, he saw it enough to recognize it in anyone's eyes. His mate definitely had not been sulking, he'd been stewing. Possibly even trying to reign in his magic and temper. Draco felt the magic surrounding the young man, and was a little in awe of the magnitude of it, and surprised that a person their' age could actually control it on a day to day basis. Temper, Merlin yes his mate had one, and it was definitely ready to explode a bit.

"Look I don't know if you came here with the impression that I tell my life story and then you tell yours, and happily ever after happens, but you're living in a bloody fantasy if that's true! I can't do anything about what biology or mother-nature, or who ever you want to blame has done but don't expect me to calmly follow suit and open my life to stranger! It-will-not-happen! It may not ever happen so slow the hell down."

Draco doubted Kyler realized that his magic was beginning to swirl around him with little electric crackles as he became even more upset, and continued on.

"As for pureblood, well you might as well get a new sense of smell cause I'm not one! And second you really don't need to show off the wealth aspect, because it certainly doesn't mean anything to me, nor should you be proud that you spend money you didn't make! Your father made, not you. Once I get out of here I will make my own way and--"

Kyler was abruptly cut off as Draco's mouth slammed into his, and he was pushed up against the railing of the pier forcefully and a little painfully, with the railing digging into his back. Draco's hand quickly tangled in Kyler's hair keeping him still as Draco ravaged his mouth, and nipped at it with his teeth forcefully trying to gain entrance. Finally Ky stopped trying to shake his head loose, and gasped as he felt Draco's other hand slither behind his back and up under shirt, stroking his back in lazy circles. Oh Merlin, Ky thought moaning as Draco's hand eventually slithered down under his slacks caressed his ass, pushing Ky firmly against his own aroused body. With that forward thrust, Draco again took advantage of Ky's own moan and finally slipped his tongue in, learning every crevice of his mate's mouth thoroughly. He had such a wonderfully enticing mouth Draco decided, he could spend hours just kissing and making love to it. This that thought he changed his searching motion to the thrusting motion Kyler's pelvis was doing.

Finally Draco detached his mouth from Kyler's and attacked his neck with wet kisses and little thrusts of his tongue starting from behind Kyler's ear and ever so slowly inching down his neck. He noted his mates pleasure point where the neck and shoulders met, that caused Ky to groan and thrust against Draco's pelvis in the rhythm as old as the joining itself. He was going to explode was all Draco thought, and he wound his way back to his mate's mouth, though this time instead of reluctance it was met with equal need and heat. It was everything Draco had hoped for, his mate groaning and writing under his own experienced touch. The thrusting proving to Draco just for far gone his mate was with the passion, and how far he would let Draco go if he asked.

Kyler had no idea where the want had come from, but he couldn't think of anything else with the veelas mouth hard and hot on his. He'd never been with a man, but loved the feel of the hard muscled body pressed up against his demandingly, and the veelas hands, wow they were doing marvelous things to the front of his body now. One hand stroking the front of his aroused length while the veela's other hand stayed under his slacks in the back caressing and moving his pelvis forward into the veelas waiting other hand with every thrust he made. Kyler felt like he was going to explode.

Finally Draco broke the kiss off with the last bit of control he could muster. He had kissed the man just to break him off his tirade, and then, well it had become much more so fast. Draco looked down at his mate, trying to clear his head of the need to plunder Kyler's mouth again, Merlin he was addictive! Was amazing the passion that brewed underneath his surface. He really wished now was a proper time to more thoroughly explore that, but right now he needed a clear head. Breathing in and out he slowly go control of himself. Merlin though the rest of his life would most assuredly be spent trying to keep his hands off his mate in public places. And my how he was looking forward to that.

It turned out silence equaled temper in his Emerald. Not a bad thing, and just one of the millions of things he was looking forward to knowing.

But now they had a to set a few things straight.

"Let me make this clear. I don't expect anything from you right now. I am trying to make this as easy as possible, although that wasn't planned or expected I sure as hell won't apologize for it. I have had years to become adjusted to this idea, and you've had hours. As for the money I could say it doesn't matter but I'm guessing that would be a mistake, and I'm also going to take a guess that you're not going to tell me about that button I accidentally pushed, yet. We will work through it though whatever is going on in that head of yours!"

Draco finally broke off frustrated to kiss the young man again, a short wet meeting of mouths that did nothing to cool the fire that had flared up. Merlin he wanted him!, was all Draco could think. He could picture them in his bed, the heat would flare, and--okay clear your head Draco, he told himself again. Issue at hand.

"Know this though, in time you will tell me. You will trust me. I had a few options too when deciding what to do about the mating business, but I'm here I am damned well staying so get used to it! And so are you if I have to bind you to my bed!"

Kyler was still breathing hard. Lord he definitely had not expected that. He needed to think, to decide what he wanted. A time turner would be so effective right now.

Instead, he took a few deep breathes and concentrated on the words he wanted to get out, not the hand moving in soothing motions on his back. Damn it he didn't need coddling!

Finally he forcefully removed the hand at his back, and watched as the blonde took a step away, though still in Harry's personal space. Kyler guessed the blonde had no intention on leaving that space for the time being.

"You don't have to apologize for that. Obviously it was mutual, and if I had not been comfortable then you would have been returned to your parents in a full body bind a probably missing a few appendages. I don't need coddling or soothing, and I am able to control my magic just fine on my own! I've been on my own a long time, and I had plans for myself that twenty-four hours ago didn't include a veela. On that note the chemistry and physical heat doesn't mean anything. Its as common as a good lie and used for ones benefit just as often."

Draco simply stared at him with a thoughtful expression, at least his mate wasn't yelling anymore which was a good thing. Kyler's magic now seemed fully under control, but what a show it had been.

"Well I suppose you're going to have to start thinking that those plans are going to include a veela. It's not as common as a lie either, but I think we'll get to that in time." Draco said it quietly and thoughtfully.

If he was right about Kyler's comfort level and his desire to think everything through, then his mate needed time to adjust. Draco thought he understood that on some level. Thinking your life was going to go a certain way and planning it out so you succeeded, only to have that all change in the blink of an eye. It was disturbing, but Kyler didn't have any other option. All other options had flown out the window the moment he saw his mate in his dreams, and reinforced when he saw him on parchment. Kyler might as well get used to the fact that he wasn't shaking free of this Malfoy. The lie portion had him thinking they would eventually need to have a chat about Kyler's past. Not now, him mate, wasn't going to open up, but eventually.

Kyler turned and leaned on the pier railing with his back to Draco, looking out over the water gathering his thoughts. Draco finally got it that silence was okay, he didn't need to start talking again.

"I've planned for graduation since I was child. I'm on my own, and I made certain I worked hard enough to guarantee my success out in the world, but those plans didn't include anyone else being in the picture…I can take of myself."

Draco already sensed that his mate would do just fine on his own. He was too powerful, and way more so then Draco knew he would ever be, and Kyler was smart. That combination always tended to be a winner. He walked forward and stood next to Kyler with his hands on the railing.

"I think it's quite obvious you can succeed all on your own. You didn't need to say one word to me to get that across. No family?"

A long minute passed and Draco was almost sure the man wouldn't answer until he saw a slight shake of the head, and the murmured, "All dead since before I came here."

Draco could tell the man didn't want sympathy, and really didn't want to talk about it. But he was giving Draco a little information which was a start. A bloody small minuscule start but a start.

"Well whether or not you believe it, you do have that now. I am guessing in your case you go by the philosophy that actions are going to matter most though, so why don't we just take it slow in that area eh?"

Kyler finally looked over and gave a small smile. He nodded his acceptance and turned to start walking back. Draco didn't force the man or grab his hand, just walked companionably next to him, and was glad he had passed the first little rough edge, he'd never be bored around Kyler, and that was something.

The family was getting ready to apparate back after they had all had tea together in Trighton's office, and Kyler could feel himself at a calm level again. Draco would be visiting the Academy Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays on a scheduled basis and then weekends when the two decided it. He would apparate in the morning and then leave a few hours later.

Tea time, which included talking, had lasted about an hour with Draco's parents sitting in two chairs, while Kyler and Draco occupied the love seat. Draco kept himself comfortable Kyler noted, and with his hand on Kyler's thigh for the first portion. Each time Kyler tried to remove it, all Draco did was tighten his hand.

Kyler was of course inclined to teach the veela that he would not be forced into anything he didn't want to do, and muttered a spell under his breath that had Draco heated quite quickly and his hands placed on his lap to cover the arousal. Harry knew lovers used the spell as sort of an excitement foreplay during classes. The spell had invisible hands stroking the spelled party's pleasure zones. Kyler actually found it quite amusing to see the man heat up in front of his parents, and wasn't surprised a bit when the man leaned over to whisper to Kyler's ear.

"Extremely effective, but don't your think just telling me to stop being overbearing would have worked?"

Kyler only smirked. "I doubt it. Besides this was vastly more effective and amusing."

With a look though from the veela, Kyler relented and ended the spell. The veela had lasted a whole ten minutes under it, Kyler chuckled to himself. Yes, vastly more amusing and effective. He was sure Draco would never try it again that was for sure.

Lord and Lady Malfoy put their' robes on and got ready to apparate with their' backs turned to their son and his mate, effectively giving the two a little privacy. They noticed but didn't mention Draco's mussed hair or the marks on Kyler's neck where the two returned from the walk. They were proud of their' son in that moment, he was using the allure and moving things along with his young man.

Draco saw the opening and when Kyler held out his hand for a proper send off, he only smirked and drew the young man in his arms, kissing him thoroughly before his mate had a chance to protest. It was short, hot, and extremely thorough. Obviously, Kyler thought, the veela was getting back at him for the spell, which he admitted was working.

Too quickly Draco pulled away, with a smile on his face as he looked at Kyler's still dazed one.

Draco leaned in again this time kissing where Kyler's neck and should joined, and fluttered light kisses up to his ear, where he lightly tugged on the outer shell with a nip, He smiled again when he felt his mate give a light shudder. Merlin his mate was wonderful.

He smiled against Kyler's ear with a light breath and whispered, "I'll see you in the morning."

With that he pulled away with a satisfied, almost predatory smile, and apparated away with his parents who had no longer been ignoring the two but looking on in avid interest and pleased smiles.

With a few deep breathes Kyler finally looked at the headmaster who was giving him an ironical smile, and plopped into the chair behind him with a thud.
