Page 56 of Taming the Beasts

Having Huxley’s identical twin would only help. Kebe would just be overwhelmed by hotness. Besides, I needed Ace to check my thermostat. Emma was right, that thing was definitely busted.

“Yeah, that’s fine,” Callum said.

Titan shook his head as I walked toward the door. I ignored him. I’d tried to apologize earlier, and all it had done was make him shift into a werecat and almost break the bank. I’d talk to him again later. One on one. Maybe he’d take my apology more sincerely then.

Huxley didn’t flip the sign back to open as we walked out of the bank. That was probably good thinking. Who knew what was about to happen when we brought Kebe back.

“So you really don’t know Kebe?” I asked and looked up at Huxley. Emma had already questioned him about this, but that was in front of a bunch of people. Maybe he’d open up to just me and Ace.

“I swear I’ve never seen her before the other night. Why does everyone think I know her?”

I shrugged. “She just had a lot of nice things to say about you.”

“Really? I thought you said she hated werecats.”

“All but you apparently.”

He smiled.

“Stop it.” I elbowed him in the side. “You have a girlfriend, remember?”

“Oh, I’m very aware.” He put his arm around my shoulders.

I grabbed Ace’s hand so he wouldn’t feel left out.

He squeezed my hand. “If she has a thing for my brother she probably has a thing for me too.”

I glared at him.

He laughed. “I’m just kidding, Zoey. But I love how possessive you are.”

I was glad he saw that as a good characteristic. Because I hadn’t even known it about myself until the past couple of days.

Someone on the other side of the street tripped and almost fell on their face. They’d been so preoccupied staring at us instead of looking to see where they were going. They’d better get used to seeing me around town with more than one man.

Or…maybe not.We could be just a few hours away from my boyfriends being cured. And a few hours away from them all going their separate ways. I tried to shove Kebe’s words out of my head. But her words weren’t going anywhere.

I cleared my throat. “If the coin is the cure, what is the first thing you two want to do?”

“Hmm…” Ace said. “So many options.”

Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of.

He squeezed my hand again. “I think the first thing we’d do is…you.”

“Definitely,” Huxley said.

I couldn’t help the huge smile that spread across my face.

“What, were you worried we’d run off or something?” Ace asked.

“Honestly? Kind of. You guys have had to stay together for so long. I thought maybe you’d want to…I don’t know. Have some time apart.”

“We’ve always done everything together,” Huxley said.

Ace nodded.

“But what about the rest of the guys?” I asked.
