Hiding His Wolf [Urban Affairs 4] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour ManLove) by Gale Stanley

his slim, hairless body and fuck him senseless. What would happen to Noah when he left? His conscience nagged at him. Maybe he could convince Graham to let Noah off the island. Fat fucking chance. Graham had already insinuated he wanted Noah for himself. Instead of helping Simon figure out his next move, coming here had only served to confuse him more.
    Focus on your job, Simon.
    “Do you feel better, Noah?”
    “Yes, sir.”
    “Good, I need to ask you a few questions.”
    A look of trust flickered in Noah’s eyes. Why? Just because he hadn’t beaten or sodomized him. It was wrong. He’d done nothing to earn this boy’s trust.
    Simon forced himself to continue. “Can you remember back to when you were first kidnapped by the Weres?”
    “Yes,” Noah whispered.
    “Do you remember Levi?”
    “No.” Noah shook his head, and Simon knew he wasn’t lying.
    Simon smacked his forehead with his open palm. Of course! Levi had changed his name when he escaped. “Do you remember the boy who lived with your family back then? What was his name?”
    Noah chewed on his lip but didn’t say anything.
    The boy was compliant but loyal. Obviously he didn’t want to say anything that might hurt his friend. “I won’t hurt you. Or him.” Simon looked around. Force of habit. He already knew there was no surveillance equipment in here. Graham had told him that state-of-the-art technology would be installed as soon as the architects and engineers got their shit together. “In fact, I might be able to help him.”
    Noah’s eyes darkened with the tortured dullness of disbelief. “He’s dead.”
    “Why do you say that?”
    “Because he would have come—” Noah stopped short, as if he’d already given away too much.
    Simon put a hand on the blanket over his leg. “It’s okay. What was his name, Noah?”
    “Rolf,” he said softly.
    “His name is Levi now.”
    Noah’s face crumbled. Something very close to real heartbreak showed in his expression. All these years he’d held on to the hope that the half-breed would come if he could. And he’d been right. Levi’s love for the boy was obvious. It had given him the incentive to search for Noah, and even though he had little chance of finding him, he’d never given up. The connection between these two men amazed Simon and gave him a new appreciation for the wolf. Noah had seen the good in Levi and it had given him an anchor all these years.
    “You’ve seen him?”
    “Yes, and so have you.”
    Noah bolted up, his whole body was shaking. “You’re a liar.” Then he realized his mistake and froze.
    Simon squeezed his leg. “I already told you I’m not going to hurt you. And I’m not a liar. The boy you knew as Rolf calls himself Levi now. He works at the club where I bought you.”
    “You bought me?”
    Noah had been so drugged he’d hadn’t been aware who bought him. Now a bit of hope showed in Noah’s eyes, and Simon was sorry he was going to have to squelch it.
    “Yes, but you don’t belong to me. I was only acting for someone else.”
    The light went out in Noah’s eyes, and Simon hated himself for being the cause. This emotional crap was not helping either of them and he debated telling Noah more about Levi. A happy reunion was not in the cards and Noah would just suffer more disappointment. Still, the kid deserved to know that his faith in his friend had not been misplaced.
    “Listen to me, Noah. Your friend, Levi, Rolf, whatever, he recognized you. He’s been looking for you all this time. He actually threatened to kill me unless I told him where you were.”
    “Oh my God.” The light came back on. “Is he here?”
    How could the kid look happy and sad at the same time?
    Simon shook his head. “No. If I had brought him here, he’d have been locked up, too.” So what’s the difference smart guy? He’s still confined, just in a more luxurious prison.
    “Thank you,” Noah whispered. “Please…”
    “What is it, Noah?”
    “Please tell Rolf…I
