Seth. The place was crawling with thugs and underlings. He’d be placing both himself and the Order in danger. Not an option.
He turned and walked down the road to Commonwealth Avenue. It was only his first night. It was still possible the bungalow was the link he needed. Seth wasn’t going anywhere. He was all hooked up with a cushy, super illegal job and shit. Somehow the guy was going to use that sitch to his advantage. But how?
Pax watched as James made his way down Commonwealth Avenue. He hung a right and Pax followed him a few blocks to a Subway. Well, if the male was stopping for food, the night had to be pretty much over. He stood by the corner of the large picture window and waited ’til he had ordered his food.
Suddenly, the brother started to turn his head. Fuck.
Pax glanced at the first person he could see. There was a human walking by in leather pants and a fringed leather jacket. Excuse me while I borrow your face. He felt the familiar burn throughout his body, then looked down at himself. Eighties hair band. Great look. He rolled his eyes and looked back into the shop. James poured his soda and sat down in a corner booth.
Man, that was a close one. He’d have to stay cloaked in another form from now on. He just wanted to make sure the brother was okay. There was no way to know how this thing was going to end. Or at least that was the current story he was telling himself. James was definitely not going to see it that way, however. He gleamed back to the mansion’s foyer and headed for the kitchen.
“New look?” Diesel asked, as he spread some mayo on a couple of sandwiches.
Pax laughed. “It’s all for you, my brother.”
“Gee, thanks, Jon Bon Jovi, but I think I’ll pass.”
He let go of the stranger’s form and picked up one of the sandwiches from the counter. “Great of you to think of me, partner. Cloning burns a fuckload of calories.”
“Dude, that shit is just wrong.”
Pax grinned, took a bite, and vanished.
Rose woke up in the safe cocoon of her male’s body and looked up into his dark eyes. She must have cried herself to sleep. Perfect. They’d been mated less than twenty-four hours and already she’d snotted on him.
He smiled and it lit up his whole face. “God, you’re beautiful.”
She nuzzled into his chest and looked up at him with one eye.
“Don’t you get all shy on me.” He leaned down and kissed her with great care, as if she might break into pieces.
In that moment, she realized she loved him. Of course, her mate was the sexiest male in the city, quite possibly on the planet, but it was his heart that had claimed hers. In fact, right now she was feeling anything but shy. Just the opposite. She was somehow liberated. His acceptance had freed her. She wanted to make him fly so high he forgot how to think. But first she was going to get rid of the damn robe. She’d never had any kind of sex fully undressed and it was now or never. She raised herself onto her knees and slipped it off, watching her mate as he popped right up off the pillows like he couldn’t wait to get ahold of what he was seeing.
Rose put her hand to his chest and gave him a firm shove backward. She smiled. Her male was trapped between her and the headboard. She leaned into him, pushed her breasts against his pecs, and kissed him. Hard. A low growl rumbled up from his chest. She grazed each nipple with her lips as she slowly made her way down to his abs. She stroked his arousal slowly through his boxers, but she only freed the head. She looked up into her male’s glowing green eyes and licked the tip before gently blowing on it.
“Fuck,” X bit out as the cool air got his attention, and then some.
“Later,” she answered with a wicked grin. She took him into her mouth and swirled her lips around the head. Then she rubbed the under seam with her tongue before very gently running her teeth along his shaft. She pulled his boxers off and crawled back up between his
