CHAPTER 1

"Get out! I'm serious, you two. Get the hell out of here and let me do my job!" Twix yelled as he chased Finn and Marco from his kitchen and into the dining area with a spatula, whacking whichever one he could on top of the head and shoulders.

Day snorted in laughter when Finn turned to his little mate, imploringly, "Baby, we just want you to rest. All that standing is going to make your ankles swell and your back hurt. We just want to help you."

Twix raised his spatula high in the air. "I am not even a full month pregnant, Finn. My ankles do not swell and my back is just fine. Now get out of here. I thought you were both scheduled to work today? Day, tell Finn to get out and go to the station!"

"I am so not getting into the middle of this one. Sorry, Twix, you are on your own," Day called out sipping his coffee with a smile.

The bell rang over the door and Ethan walked in. Day loved it when his mate entered a room. He was the sexiest man Day had ever laid eyes on and he considered himself to be the luckiest man on earth. Two years together and every day was better than the next since Day had been gifted with his man.

"Trixie, you know how much we love you and we just want to take some of the load off," Marco said with a pout.

Twix gave an impressive growl, raising his arm high, with spatula in hand. "If you two ever plan on tapping my ass again, I will give you to exactly the count of three to get out of here and get your asses to work. One..."

"Twix, you are not being reasonable," Finn argued.

"Two!" Twix growled.

Ethan's laugh sent shivers down Day's spine and wrapped around his balls. No one could make Day feel the things Ethan did. His laugh was like music, his smile like a ray of sunshine, and his love was like a balm to his soul.

"I suggest you two go, before he gets to three," Ethan replied as he made his way towards Day with that sexy stride that made Day's cock go from limp and to the right, to hard and trying to break through his zipper.

The bell jingled as Ethan got to Day's table and his little man slid in right next to him, lips ready for some attention. Day didn't let his man down. He pressed Ethan’s lips against his own and in seconds they were checking each other's tonsils with their tongues.

"Okay you two, if you don't stop, I might have to sell tickets," Twix said as he sat down across from them.

Day reluctantly pulled away from his mate, and turned to Twix. "Whatever the price, it wouldn't be enough. We would put on one hell of a show."

Twix snorted, "Yeah, but you are a twosome. Now, selling tickets to my own with the threesome, now that would be a money maker."

Ethan giggled. "Yeah, well, you can have your threesome. Day is more than enough for me."

Twix laughed. "Thanks for coming. I need your help."

"Whatever you need, Twix, you only have to ask. However, why are you not asking Finn or Marco?" Day asked

Twix sighed. "Because they don't go to Maddox and you two do. Besides that, I know Ethan is not judgmental and will observe and ask questions before making a judgment, as will you, Day. Please, I’m really worried about my cousin and I can't get my father or uncle to listen to me."

"Twix, you know we will do anything we can to help. Tell us what's going on," Day requested.

Twix sighed. "Look, I'm not blind to my cousin and the things he does. However, never in all the years he has been alive has he ever lied to me."

"Is this the guy that Jett and Zev talked about? Rhys?" Ethan asked.

Nodding, Twix replied, "Yeah. He's a bit different, but a really sweet man, Ethan."

Day was confused until he remembered what Zev and his dad had told him. "Rhys is the one that goes around kissing guys, isn't he?"

"Yes, but it's just part of who he is," Twix explained anxiously.

"What does that mean?" Ethan asked curiously.

Twix sat back, saying, "Rhys has been going around kissing people since he hit puberty. I've tried to explain that it isn't polite, but he doesn't want to listen."

Ethan shook his head. "Why does he do it? That behavior could really get him hurt."

Twix looked at Ethan as if he had lost his mind. "Why do you think? To find his mates. When we were little boys and our dads told us about mates and how pixies get theirs, Rhys became anxious to find his. Dain wasn't mated to the man that birthed Rhys. Dain said he would never mate, but wanted a child to carry on his line. He got someone to agree to be a surrogate and Rhys was born. The thing is, Dain isn't an easy man to be around sometimes and he was a busy man. He is my father's Regent which makes him second in command. So, Rhys was often left with nannies. He would watch me and my fathers play and would always say how much he wanted that in his life. Rhys wanted to see someone look at him the way my dads would look at each other. Rhys wanted to have a child that he and his mates would play ball with, go on picnics with. You know, do things together as a loving family."
