Gabby was to the point.
“It would make sense if he was in the lake,” she offered. “He was murdered. I read online that spirits that are killed or who died in bad ways tend to haunt until they finish their mission or find peace. Maybe he’s angry because we haven’t figured out the whole mystery.”
No one there wanted to have the men haunt this place. Ceit was no longer lurking, as far as they knew.
For Callen’s and Chris’ sake, they needed to get this handled.
That started with for now, focusing on the here and now of the situation.
“Before we go lake spelunking,” Michael said, “we should see what else we have in here. You know, since I’m the one whois going to be going in the lake. I’d rather we get any clues before I nearly die again.”
That had everyone’s attention.
Gryphen knew he’d been in the lake, but other than him and Graham, no one else did.
“What do you mean, again?” Finn asked.
“I was in there this morning. I got some of the bones out, but not all of them.”
They looked surprised.
“You went in alone?” Finn asked, feeling chills run up and down his spine.
Michael nodded.
“Yes, and it nearly killed me. That’s how we ended up in bed, naked,” he admitted.
Ian’s eyebrow went up, and even Gabby looked surprised. They could see that Michael was hovering around Graham, but they were not prepared to know they’d been in bed.
“As in sleeping or…?” Ian asked.
Michael just laughed, clueing them into the fact that very little sleep had been going on in there.
Well, that and Graham flushed red, and it was discernable even in the shadows of the corridor.
Oh, boy.
Someone had sex.
“Uh,” he said, not sure what to add to that since everyone was staring at him. “Trust me, no one is more shocked than I am,” Graham admitted.
Hearing that, Michael dropped his arm over Graham’s shoulders, and gave him a kiss on the temple.
He was staking his claim.
He wouldNOTbe starting their relationship over from the start. Instead, he was picking it up right where they’d left off.
And he only hoped Graham would join him.
“I’m not shocked at all,” Michael admitted, leaving it at that.
Only, Graham was still confused.
What was going on?
Were they a couple?
Was this a dream?
