her face more maniacal than he'd ever seen before.
"Don't worry, baby boy. I took care of those others. They thought they could take away some of your shine."
"What did you do?" Jacob felt queasy. "You killed those men."
"They tried to take away the spotlight. I stopped them."
She looked so proud of herself.
"I tried to stop her, Jacob," Mandy whispered behind him. "I couldn't stop her in time. I wanted to protect you from that monster."
"I'm a monster? I should've killed you when you sent those others to take Jacob's place."
"I sent what the client asked for," Mandy shouted. "It didn't mean you had to kill them."
"You're no good for him. You were encouraging him to take photos!" Jacob's mother screamed. "You don't understand. He's meant to be seen. If his father sees him, he'll come back."
It was clear to Jacob in that instant that this wasn't about him. This was about his mother trying to bring his father back.
"You are still waiting for father." He didn't make it a question; he knew it as a fact.
"He'll come back," she said in a sing-song voice. "He'll come back when he sees you."
You have magic .
Hadn't Guy told him he had untapped powers? If he used it accidentally all the time, would it work if he tried to use it on purpose? "You don't want to hurt anyone," Jacob said, pushing his belief into every syllable.
"I don't?" His mother's eyes turned foggy.
"You want me to take you home instead." Jacob took a step forward and, surprisingly, Guy released him. He'd thought Guy would be his biggest obstacle, but apparently Guy knew what Jacob was doing.
"I've always wanted your father, Jacob, but I didn't know how to tell him you were born. Now that you're famous, he's bound to see you in an advertisement and come back to me. You look so much like him, even if you have my eyes."
"I'm sure he'll come." Jacob used the low soothing voice he saved for children crying on the set. "Mandy says I've got a few really big ads coming up."
His mother's eyes lit up. "Yes, then you'll see. You'll get to meet him."
Jacob watched dispassionately as Niles snuck up on his mother. He saw the wizard's mouth move. Seconds later, she collapsed on the floor in a crumpled heap.
Tears filled his eyes but he blinked them back.
"I told her," Mandy whispered behind them. "I was so mad I told your mother you were here. I'm so sorry, Jacob."
Guy unlocked her handcuffs.
Jacob walked up to the woman he'd always thought of as a second mother. "I'm only here as a trap. We thought you were involved."
Mandy gave him a shaky smile. "I guess indirectly I was."
He watched sadly as Niles picked up his mother and carried her from the warehouse.
Pablo approached. "Sorry, Mandy. I supported their belief you were guilty."
Mandy gave a laugh as she rubbed her wrists. "I would've accused me too. They were all my models, after all. Maybe it's time I retired. After this, my reputation is shot anyway."
Jacob walked over and gave her a hug. "You let me know. If you leave, so will I."
Mandy gave him a pat on the back. "Deal."

Nothing like a life-changing experience to make a man horny. After a traumatic afternoon, he needed reassurance from the man he loved. Jacob barely waited until they'd cleared the door to strip off Guy's shirt. Stumbling and unfastening buckles, snaps, and buttons as they went, both men were laughing as they finally hit the mattress, more or less unclothed.
Jacob tore off Guy's underwear before throwing himself on the mattress. "Your turn to fuck me."
Guy laughed. "If you insist."
Jacob stroked himself as he watched Guy's fine ass leaning over the bed.
Unable to resist, he sank his teeth into one tight cheek.
"Hey!"
"I told you to keep things where they are easy to reach."
Guy looked over his shoulder with laughing blue eyes. "You didn't say the penalty was a butt bite."
Jacob shrugged. "Penalties have to be paid."
"Uh, huh." Guy didn't sound convinced, but he did retrieve the condom and lube. "Do you
