wasn t smart enough to figure all this out. I just wanted to know what sparked the maps and tracing all
of this for him. I was trying to use that as a lead-in to apologize for what I said before that hurt his
feelings. It went to shit. I suck. I reacted like his mate said and it was my pride that lashed out. I will
figure out a way to fix it.
 You also have to keep in mind something else, I said, finally stepping in. I had planned to say
a lot but Victor handled most of it beautifully so I hadn t felt the need except for one point.  You all
mated first. He felt left out of this family and not accepted. Not normal, even to the ones he loved
most. And it seemed even fate agreed by not giving him a mate when you all found yours. Then he
finds them and we are two large fae warriors which you do not have in this family.
 It doesn t take a genius to know he wants to move out before that potentially becomes an issue
and he s not normal in your eyes again, whether you say it that way or not. Or whether someone
makes an offhanded comment about it while he s dealing with all this. He doesn t want to risk it and I
can t say I blame him. Can you? Can you really blame him for wanting space so this situation doesn t
implode now that he s mated to two men bigger than him?
 No, I get it, Damian agreed.  My brothers were great when Cyrus was my mate and even
coming to terms with that, he was, um, bigger. But they still teased and ribbed me hard about it. That
would probably be twice the amount of teasing for Virgil.
 Or you didn t tease him after he saw you get teased and that just showed him that he wasn t
loved and invisible, I added, playing devil s advocate.
 Okay, we support his choice to move out, Mrs. Marius said sadly, looking at me with tears in
her eyes.  But you promise to protect my boy. The estate gives extra safety to him. I m sorry he feels
we don t love him for who he is and we screwed up but we do. We ll work with Ayden and him to
fix this but I want you to understand this is only temporary.
 Or build a house of your own on the estate, Mr. Marius offered.  We d do that to keep him
close and you all safe. Let him know that. Hell, we ll move the house he had built and set it on the
estate just as is.
 I will let him know you were willing to go to such great lengths to make him happy, keep him
safe, and loved him enough to want him close when I feel he would be receptive to it, I said
carefully. They all nodded and we headed inside.
I spent the next hour watching my stunning mate in his prime. He explained everything once
again, answering any questions like a pro, and even giving them his best guesses of hideout locations,
potential traitors, and directions on what to do next. I held Foma s hand the entire time since I could
tell he was as nervous as I was. Our mate needed this to go well and our encouragement.
We were so damn proud of him though it was hard not to be supportive of such genius. When it
was over, we fell into step with our mate, ignoring that he was practically vibrating with nerves and
need to get out of there.
 Knowing the High Council, they will spend the next few days deliberating on what to do, he
said when we were outside.
 Good, then that gives us half the time we d like to show our mate how impressed we are with
him, I said seductively.
 Half? he gasped as I pushed him up against his SUV. I mashed my mouth down to his, taking
what he freely offered and plundering his sweet, sweet mouth as my hands grabbed his firm ass.
 Oh yes. If we got our way we d spend the next week worshiping your body, you were so sexy
and impressive in there, our mate, Foma whispered in his ear. A throat cleared behind us and the
two of us growled in disappointment as we let Virgil up.  We re never going to get claimed at this
rate.
 No, we re going home now to do it, Virgil promised us. His eyes went wide and I turned to
see Damian and his mate, Cyrus, standing there.
 I m sorry, Virgil, Damian said quietly.  I know who you are. I shouldn t have said that. I was
just shocked.
 Go on, amante. Tell him all of it. Cyrus pushed gently, wrapping an arm around his mate.
 Virgil is not a man to judge.
Damian sighed and nodded.  I know I m closest with Vic and I know all of us totally worshiped
him as the big bro and kick-ass warrior, but I used to worship you too.
 What? Me? Why? Virgil gasped as he stared at Damian in shock.
 You made everything look so easy, Damian answered in an exasperated tone, throwing his
hands in the air.  You always knew what was what and you were always in control. You never threw
a temper tantrum or got jealous or anything. I thought that was so cool and like Father. It was as if you
mastered your emotions way before anyone else could ever.
 Look, I get Gabriel was a jerk when you were a kid or something, and I m not downplaying that
but I think it might just be part of being a big brother. He wasn t the only one who called one of his
little brothers annoying and threw them out of his room or something. I wanted to be just like you and
you used to get so pissed at me for wanting to hang with you.
 Because you were going through my porn, you twit, Virgil chuckled and closed the distance
between him and his brother.  I loved hanging out with you and I adored you when you were a twerp.
But you were the most curious little bugger ever. And the moment I told you no that s what you d go
for. I swear I hid that box in like ten different spots but you d always find it again.
 That was porn? Damian exclaimed, his eyes practically bugging out of his head.  I thought
you wouldn t share your comic books with me! I cried for days because I didn t think I was cool
enough in your eyes to get to see your comics.
 No, brother. I would have shared all my comics with you if I d had any. Why did you think they
only had women and no clothes? I could see my mate trying not to laugh.
 I don t know. I was like six, Damian answered with a snicker. They shared a laugh and
another hug.  Love you, okay? I m glad you re an extra special kick-ass warrior that I didn t realize.
That s what I meant by my comment. I want my big brother to teach me all his wicked moves. If I had
known, I would have begged you long ago. That s all I was saying. I know who you are, Virg. We all
do. Just because we don t know everything or always get it right doesn t mean we don t care.
 Yeah, I m maybe starting to grasp that, he agreed with a shrug.  We ll see.
 You didn t know I loved to bounce around on fat cock and be bitten constantly, did you?
Damian asked in a cheeky tone with attitude.  Or that my favorite game is 
 That is enough sharing for today, amante, Cyrus drawled as he covered his mate s mouth with
his hand.  He gets the point. Not knowing everything about each other does not mean there is not love
or respect there. He gets it. No need to tell him everything that goes on in our rooms.
 No, it s all good, Cyrus, Virgil chuckled as he opened the door to the front seat and the three [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
