Hagen, Lynn - Snooke [Demon Warriors 2] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic ManLove) by Lynn Hagen

Snooke what Kane wanted.
    “You two still at it again? I need some sleep, so go get a hotel,” Dillon griped as he entered the apartment and closed the door on them.
    “I thought that attribute to him was charming.” Kane looked at the door. “Now it’s irritating.”
    “He’ll grow on you.” Snooke opened, allowing Kane to explore his mouth with his tongue.
    Kane opened the door, lifting Snooke into his arms as he kicked the door closed, heading straight toward the bedroom.

    Snooke packed quickly as Kane, Hondo, and Rainerio stood watch in his bedroom. He wasn’t sorry to leave his apartment behind. It had been a place to hide from his uncle when things got bad, but it was never truly a home.
    The place was void of anything personal. He refused to hold onto anything, afraid this place would be found and it would be discovered that Snooke lived here. Well, it seemed his worries were valid. His place had been breached, and his uncle now knew about it.
    The walls that had sheltered him for so long were no longer a safe haven. Although it had been a few weeks since the incident in the backroom of Malcor’s, the warriors didn’t want to chance bringing him here until they felt it safe.
    Snooke would never be safe as long as his uncle stayed free. Marino was on the run now, in hiding just like Snooke had been.
    Irony was a motherfucker.
    “You got everything, shorty?” Kane asked as he grabbed Snooke’s bags.
    “I think so.” He looked around one last time to ensure that he did. There wouldn’t be a second trip here, so he had to make sure he had it all. Snooke ran into the bathroom one last time to check when his uncle’s elf shimmered in.
    He held his finger to his lips, glancing past Snooke to the door. Snooke never did trust the guy. “Your uncle has been dealing with some very dark men. I fear he is close to finding out how to use the crystal.”
    “Where is he?” Snooke could hear the venom dripping from his own words. He hated his uncle with a passion now. The longer he was around the warriors, Chris, and Dillon, the more he saw what true friendship and caring was all about. The realization had struck him that Marino had never truly cared about him.
    No matter what the bastard had done, Snooke had still loved him. Not anymore.
    “I can’t tell you. But warn the warriors that he is getting close.” The elf shimmered out.
    “Thanks for nothing,” Snooke muttered as he checked under the cabinet and in the medicine cabinet. Flaky-ass elf.
    “You almost done?” Kane stepped to the doorway. “Hondo is itching to get back to Chris.”
    “I didn’t say that,” Hondo shouted from the next room.
    “He’s cock whipped.” Kane chuckled as he pulled Snooke from the bathroom.
    “So are you,” Hondo countered.
    “Never denied it, my brother.” Hondo and Rainerio grabbed Snooke’s bags as Kane slid his hand in Snooke’s. When they emerged into Kane’s bedroom, Snooke spun around.
    “My uncle’s elf shimmered in while I was in the bathroom.”
    “What!” Kane’s voice was harsh as he stared down at Snooke. “What did he want?”
    “He said my uncle was getting closer to finding out how to use the crystal. That he was seeing some very dark people.”
    “Shit.” Hondo dropped the bags onto the floor and headed for the bedroom door. “I need to let Panahasi know.”
    Rainerio followed Hondo out.
    “Thank you for telling me.” Kane placed his hands on Snooke’s forearms.
    “I promised no more secrets.”
    “That you did.” Kane pulled Snooke into his arms and kissed his temple. “That you did.”
    “Hey, can a guy get something to eat around here, or do I have to wait for you two to fuck?” Dillon asked from the doorway. “I’m starving.”
    “One of these days, right to the moon,” Kane mumbled as he released Snooke. “And what does the human want? A cracker, a stale piece of bread, or maybe some millennium-old cereal?”
    “I don’t know where you got your sense of
