Ki fell against Norm and gave him a push. “You know better than that. I want you to be happy no matter what you do. If Theo likes to cook, then I’m happy for him and the same goes for you. If you like business, then ditto.”
“I do,” Norm said shyly. “I was as surprised as you are, but it seems my mind is made for it. What about you and Zane?”
“Oh, my gods, I completely forgot. Zane and I rigged up a dance club for you, Theo and me to try out. I wanted to show you what I was talking about. Maybe after breakfast we can pop down there for a few minutes, so you can see it.”
“I don’t know, we haven’t danced before.”
“Oh, don’t worry, we’re gay and that means bumping and grinding is in our DNA. Once you watch Zane and me, you’ll pick it right up. Trust me, you’ll want Theo’s ass grinding against your junk as you dance until you can’t take it anymore and drag him off to bed.”
“Really? Do you think Theo will do it?” Norman asked as his eyes sparkled at the picture Kieran had painted.
“Do it? Honey, his ass will be glued to your cock until he forces you to put an end to his misery. This is Theo we’re talking about…remember? The one who swore to spend the next five years being fucked silly.”
Entering the great room, Kieran fell silent as his eyes found Logan sitting on the sofa playing with Daniel. He gasped as he noticed what his mate was wearing.Oh, my fucking gods, my favorite color!He felt Norm nudge him, but he couldn’t take his eyes off the gorgeous man theFates had decided was his. Finally, Norman’s voice warned, “Ki, stop it. Someone will notice.”
Breaking off his stare, Ki turned away, looking for someone other than Logan. Then he saw Zane, sitting alone, looking rather dejected and he hurried over to his new friend. Sitting beside him, Kieran asked, “Yo, Zane? Any luck after I left yesterday?”
Glancing over at Kieran, Zane shook his head. “Not yet, but I’ll figure it out. One of my friends suggested I try a different algorithm that might be better suited for finding deep buried information, so I’ll start writing the program today. Hopefully, it won’t take too long.”
Kieran placed his hand on Zane’s leg. “I bet it won’t. Hey, I know, how about we do a betting pool? I’m picking 36 hours. Norm, want in?”
“Yeah, I don’t know much about this, so I’ll take 40 hours.”
“If you’re betting, I want in,” called Carson from across the room.
“Well, pick it!” said Kieran.
“What are we betting on?” Carson asked.
“How long it will take Zane to write a new program. I have 40 hours and Ki has 36. What do you want?” Norm asked.
“Fuck, if I know Zane, he has most of it written in his head already. 15 hours,” Carson answered.
Norm looked at Zane. “Is Carson right? You have most of it already written?”
Cody spoke up as he walked over with Jessica in his arms, “Of course he does. Zane writes the entire program in his head before putting it down on paper.”
“Holy shit!” Norm said, looking in awe at Zane.
“Ahh, Norman, you might want to cool the swearing,” said Dylon as he and Jake came to join them. “My mom has joined forces with Jackson and they’re intent on making sure it won’t be any of the pups’ first words,”
“Oops, thanks for the warning,” Norm said, “I don’t want her mad at me when we go to Scotland.”
Cody noticed Kieran’s hand on Zane’s leg and smiled, knowing it was there because Zane needed something this morning.
Logan discovered that while Kieran was in the room, he constantly knew his whereabouts. Even when he was playing with Daniel, he still sensed every time Kieran moved and where he was in relation to himself. Unable to resist, he glanced over and saw Kieran sitting next to Zane. Logan’s eyes zeroed in on the hand resting on his brother’s leg—a hand that didn’t belong there and white-hot jealousy flashed through his body, leaving him breathless at the intensity of the emotion.Oh fuck!
Chapter 12
Logan was distracted by an emotion about Zane he never felt before—jealousy that his brother was enjoying Kieran’s touch instead of him. Never before had he cared about who touched any of his brothers, but that streak came to a crashing end with Zane. Now all he could think of was how he could get Kieran to touch him in the same way. Logan’s eyes narrowed as he saw Zane place his hand on top of Kieran’s and smile.
His wolf surged forward, growling at the picture Logan was staring at. Only when his fangs dropped did Logan realized he was in danger of shifting. Closing his eyes, he leaned back against the sofa, concentrating on calming himself and his wolf, thankful Jackson had taken Daniel a couple of minutes before. Logan silently exhaled and just as he was congratulating himself for averting disaster, he heard Norman talk about a trip to Scotland.Scotland? Why is Norman going to Scotland? Is he going with Ian and Colton?Hoping to hear more, he stood, and moved to a chair closer to Kieran.
“I can’t wait until we leave,” said Kieran, looking at Norman. “Have you figured out what you’re going to pack? I ordered a complete kilt outfit online for each of us.”
Ian walked over to the group after hearing what Kieran said. “Did you know each wolf pack had a plaid specially made for them? Which one did you pick?”
“I think it belongs to the Dhonaghart Pack,” Kieran replied.
