“Agreed.” Not that he liked it, but Minho understood why they had to do it. “I’ll show this to Peter. Maybe he’ll recognize him.”

“Let us know.” Gray continued to check his monitors as Minho left, ‘porting into their bedroom.

Their bedroom. For many years he never believed he’d say that, yet now he did. It had been worth the wait. Not the pain Peter and the boys had gone through. Minho wouldn’t have wanted them to experience that, would have spared them if he could, but he couldn’t. He’d waited for his mate and now he finally had him.

Leaving the printout on their bed, Minho went downstairs and entered the kitchen to find Peter and Rex sitting at the table, the pizza boxes open in front of them.I have something to show you.Later when we’re alone.Peter arched an eyebrow.That as well.

What is it?

A picture of the man I think warned you. It’s in the bedroom.

Nodding, Peter asked, “All good?”

“Just some questions. Security stuff. Things I could have done when I was next in, but Gray wanted them dealt with now.”

“Eat some pizza before Rex inhales it all.”

“I can’t help if I’m hungry,” Rex grumbled as he shoved more pizza in his mouth.

“Don’t talk with your mouth full.”

Minho grinned when Rex rolled his eyes then stood. Swallowing, he patted his belly, then burped. “That hit the spot.”

“Rex…” Peter shook his head. “I’m sure I taught you some manners when you were younger.”

“You did, but I was hungry, and Minho knows what us men are like.” Rex’s eyes widened. “Do vampires burp and fart?” Before Minho could process the question, Rex burst out laughing and ran out of the room. Even Minho winced when he heard Rex pounding up the stairs.

“I do enjoy this thing called fatherhood.”

Peter grunted then shoved more pizza in his mouth. Once he’d finished, he asked, “Is there anything I need to know?”

“No. He warned you when he could have harmed you. That makes me wonder if he believes the same as Maxim.”

“He had the perfect opportunity to kill me.” Peter exhaled. “We upgrade security. Until something happens we carry on as normal.” Wiping his fingers on a paper towel, Peter murmured, “I think I would like to be in charge tonight. Can you be quiet?”

Minho grinned. “I can be silent if I need to be and I love nothing better than you being in charge. I love you, Peter.”

“I can feel you do. I wasn’t expecting you Minho, but now that I have you, I’m not letting you go. I love you, too.”

“Let’s clean up then you can show me how much you love me.”

Grinning, Peter kissed Minho, causing him to catch him breath. “Nah. Take us upstairs now. This can wait until later.”

Minho kissed Peter back, their tongues dancing together. “Much later.”

“We have to be careful. Maxim’s planning something but he won’t tell me what.”

“We’re already as careful as we can be. No one knows anything about us. We’re safe.”

“If they did know about you, they’d take you and hurt you to punish me.”

“You would never let that happen to me. I trust you. I know you’ll keep me safe.”

“I love you so much.”

“I love you too.”
