“Any idea when that will be?”
“Nope, and that makes this clusterfuck complete.”
“Shit!” Slate said, as something came to mind. “Steel sent me a text saying my father is coming over to spend a few days with our mom…a long overdue vacation is how he put it.”
“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I forgot all about Oracle arriving to talk to Zane about his gift. Seems I misspoke.Nowthe clusterfuck is complete.”
Chapter 13
“Babe, I’m getting used to traveling this way.” Zane chuckled, after he and David had reappeared next to a small, whitewashed, stone cottage overlooking a long, narrow, sun-splashed loch.
Giggling, David said, “I’m liking it better and better especially when you come along.”
“Wow,” Zane said, looking at the rugged mountains that sloped sharply down to the flatter ground at the edge of the loch. “What a stunning place. I can see why Brian picked it.”
“It is isolated, isn’t it? It doesn’t look like anyone lives within miles of here,” David said, shivering when a cool breeze flowed across his naked chest.
“Shit. Let’s get inside and find some warm clothes; then we can explore more,” said Zane. Taking the key Brian gave him, he unlocked the wooden door swung it open, and then stepped back, allowing his mate to enter first.
“Ohhh,” David squealed, “it’s so cute! I love it! Look at the fireplace! Oh, this is amazing!” Swirling around, David surprised Zane with a sweet kiss.
That’s all it took for Zane’s cock to harden, tenting his flimsy pajama pants while sparks sizzled under his skin and need filled his body. Visions of fucking his gorgeous mate had played on an endless loop in his mind ever since he scented him, and it took all his willpower to bury his desire until David agreed to be claimed. But now, the only thing standing in his way was their talk so the sooner that was over, the faster he could sink his cock in hismate’s sweet, pert ass. “What’s the kiss for?” Zane asked, looping his arms around his mate’s waist.
“For having the best idea ever!”
“You’re happy, here?”
“Oh yes. It’s so romantic and private, I feel like we’re the only two wolf shifters on earth. All we need is a full moon.”
“How about we get dressed, pack a picnic lunch, then take a walk.”
“Please! It’ll be the first time…I’ve never gone on a picnic.”
“Well, then it’s a good thing you’re with me because I’m the expert at doing picnics.”
“I’m sooo lucky,” David said, giving Zane another quick kiss.
“If you keep that up, you’ll be spending the day in bed with me,” Zane said, which elicited a shy grin from David. “C’mon, let’s find where Brian stashes the clothes.”

Regretting he hadn’t called Jackson last night, Logan punched in his brother’s number, then waited. Slate left to be with Dakota, uneasy at leaving his mate alone with the possibility of more intruders and Logan couldn’t blame him after all the shit they’d just been through.What a fucking vacation!
“Logan!” Jackson answered.
“That’s me. What’s the matter?”
“I was just going to call you. We need to talk about David.”
“That’s what I’m calling about. Last night, Groose’s men caught a shifter sneaking into Zane and David’s suite.”
“Are they okay?”
“Yes, David heard him and disappeared with Zane before the asshole reached them.”
“Lucky. Do you know who and why the guy was trying to get to them?”
“No, the only thing we found out before he killed himself was his first name…Antonio…for all the good that does us.”
