“We’ve been trying our best to just live out our lives while trying to figure out what to do with ourselves.
The PI business has come as both a blessing and a terror.
” Ace told him about the happenings at the club on their first assignment.
“She was a beautiful woman, and to have had her throat cut like that surely was a shame for her family too. She’ll be greatly missed.
Her husband is in jail now for his part in her death. ”
“We’ve had some things going on around here as well.
” Kings told Ace about how his mate and the boy that she’d been protecting had come to be a part of their family.
“They’re still in jail, but I know that the judge will be hearing pretrial information in the coming weeks.
Right now, he’s got all he needs to tell if there is going to be a trial or not, but I don’t see that being an issue.
They both have murdered people, and there is proof of them doing it.
In fact, Waggoner has confessed to murdering a lot of people and seems to take pride in his work. ”
“I can help you if you’d like us to get involved with it.
Tank and I have enough magic that we never have to do anything more than to touch the people that we’re working with.
One of us should be able to trace back to all the people who have been killed, and that would surely help in keeping them in jail. Where it sounds like they need to be.”
“That would be fantastic.” They talked a bit more about how their magic worked, and as soon as they could set it up, one of them would go to the jail and see the other three, and that would be all it would take to keep them behind bars.
“Maybe then my wife will stop having nightmares about Waggoner. She doesn’t have them nightly, but they bother her enough that she’s terrified some nights. ”
“It would be my pleasure to help her out with that. I’ve never had a nightmare, but I’ve heard enough about them that it makes me think that I’m lucky that I’ve not.
” Kings told him that he’d never had one either, but he knew firsthand what it could do to someone who was in the middle of them.
“I bet it makes you feel helpless. I know that it would me if my mate was having dreams that I couldn’t do anything about. ”
Kings kept an eye on the two men and his mate.
Skye seemed to be enjoying their company, but he wasn’t sure about Trevor.
While not really an outgoing young man, he did seem to be keeping his distance from him and was going to figure out why as soon as possible.
It might be nothing more than they were strangers and that was it, but he wouldn’t know until he talked to the younger man.
When Ace got a phone call, he stepped outside to take it.
He hoped it was a job for the two men as they seemed desperate to make their PI business a success.
When Ace came back and went to his brother, he figured it was going to be a job and wished in some way that he could help them.
But he knew nothing about the job of being a PI and even less about the two cousins he now had.
Kings drove them home after the dinner and told them if they wanted to change anything, just do it.
They didn’t have to ask for permission, he told them, as he wanted them to be comfortable when they were here and there was little to nothing that they wouldn’t approve of anyway.
They just wanted them to be comfortable during their stay.
After dropping them off, he made his way home with his own family, but didn’t get the opportunity to ask Trevor about his behavior when talking to the other two.
“I was wondering something. And you can tell me it’s none of my business if you want.
But why haven’t you slept in the master bedroom when it’s clearly where you should be?
” He told her that he actually liked the bedroom that he was in more and hoped that sometime he could convince her to make it the master suite instead of the one that she was currently using.
“I’d have to see it, but this is your house.
You can do whatever you want, and no one would say anything. ”
“I had hopes that someday I’d be sharing the room with you, and I want you to be happy.
The room has a better view, and if you come with me now, we can see the deer that are usually out this time of day.
” She said that she’d love that. “I was hoping to bring you down to the room sooner rather than later, so this is perfect timing.”
The family of deer was out, and it looked as if sometime over the last couple of days they’d given birth to two little fawns.
They were covered in spots and seemed to be having fun being out in the open with their parents.
The buck wasn’t that old either; his horns were just beginning to look large, and the mother seemed to be a good one as she kept an eye on the two little ones as they romped around the yard.
“I was wondering something. When are we going to have sex?” He didn’t have an answer, so he just looked at her. “I know you said nothing would happen unless I wanted it to, so I’m wondering what I have to do to tell you that I’m ready?”
“You could just say I’m ready to make love with you, and that would work.
Or you could just meet me in my bed one night and I’d be more than willing to oblige you.
” She asked him which would be better for him.
“Since we’re going to make love this first time in the bedroom, I’d say that you’re in the perfect place to make that happen. ”
“I want to have sex with you. However, there are a couple of things that you should know about me. I’ve had sex before.
It was good, but nothing that I’d want to again.
However, I think it’ll be different with you.
You’d be…consuming to me, I think is the correct wording.
” He didn’t have a comment for her about him consuming her, so he asked her what else he needed to know.
“I’ve fallen in love with you. I know that it’s quick, but I think that four or five months is a good amount of time to see what sort of person you are.
And you seem like a reasonable man. You don’t cut at me anymore.
You’re also very good to Trevor, which is the number one reason for me to fall in love with you. ”
“I love you as well. I think that I have since I first met you. Even though I tried to be a good man, you make me want to be a better one.” She seemed satisfied with his answer and turned to watch the deer again. “Are we making love tonight? Or is this just to build up until the time that we do?”
“I’d very much like to make love in this room.
You’re right about it being a better room.
I enjoy the windows that are in here as well as the shape of this room.
While I’ve not been in the bed, it looks bigger than the one that I’m currently sleeping in, and that’s good since we’ll be sharing it.
I do have one request. If I have a nightmare, don’t think it’s because of you. I have them regularly now.”
“I know that. I can hear you every time you have one. I only want to break down your door once or twice a week to comfort you. Perhaps us sleeping together will make you feel safe from Waggoner, and you won’t have them anymore.
” She said that would thrill her to no end, not having nightmares anymore.
“Good. Then I’ll make it my priority to make sure you feel as safe as I can make you while we’re sleeping together. Is there anything else I should know?”
“Yes.” She didn’t go any further with her answer, and he wondered at that.
After watching the deer a bit more, she turned to him and smiled as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
“I’m not afraid of you like I think I should be.
However, I wish to see your dragon. I saw Tucker’s the other day when he was with Kaida.
He’s red and beautiful. I don’t think that yours will be any less beautiful, but I’d like to see him as soon as you can manage it. ”
“All right. In the morning. I show you and Trevor both. He’s been asking to see him as well.” She nodded and leaned into his body. “I want you with every fiber of my being, and I’ll be as gentle with you as you allow me to be.”
Leaning down, he kissed her on the mouth and made love to it with his tongue.
She seemed hesitant at first, but then enjoyed the play between them as well.
Picking her up, he took her to the bed for the first time.
He wanted it to be perfect for the two of them and was glad that they’d gotten to know one another better before having sex.
