“Hey bro, Quin arranged a special dinner tonight for you and Fionn and I’m supposed to make sure you’re there on time.”
Fionn’s eyes widened. “Oh my gods, that is so sweet.”
Muting his phone, Hunter asked, “Is that okay with you?”
“Absolutely. I can’t believe your brother did this for us.”
“That makes two of us,” Hunter muttered. Turning the speaker back on, Hunter asked Robin, “What time are we supposed to be there?”
“A half an hour from now, so go shower and get dressed. Quin has a surprise for your mate, too.”
“We’ll be ready.” Hunter said, ending the call.
“Oh my gods,” Fionn squealed, scrambling off the bed and heading to the bathroom. “I wonder what my surprise is. He hasn’t met me so…” his voice trailed off as he turned on the water. Then sticking his head out the door, he shouted, “C’mon! We can’t be late. Do you know what Quin got me? Oh fuck…should I give him a gift back?” Getting into the shower, Fionn ducked under the water, now a bit anxious about the upcoming dinner.
Smiling, Hunter joined his mate in the shower, pressing up against Fionn’s back. Holding his mate tight to him, Hunter said, “No, you don’t need to give him a gift and no, I don’t know what he has for you.”
Back in their room, Fionn stood in the closet, trying to decide what he should wear for dinner with his mate. Rejecting his suit as too formal, his jeans as too casual, he was beginning to panic, knowing he was running out of time.I need Kieran.
Bemused, Hunter sat on the bed watching Fionn flip through his skimpy wardrobe and, when his mate went through his search routine for the fifth time, he asked, “Pet, is there a problem?”
Stopping, Fionn looked at his mate. “I don’t know what to wear on a dinner date. I never went on one before.”
Suppressing a smile, Hunter rose and, quickly selecting a pair of dress slacks and a shirt, said, “This is perfect.”
Looking at Hunter’s pick, Fionn realized it was similar to what his mate was wearing. “Do I need a tie?”
“Nope, leave the top couple of buttons open, like mine.”
After slipping into his clothes, Fionn stood in front of the mirror, examining his image, turning left then right, liking what he saw.I need to go shopping with Ki again so he can pick out more clothes that make me look hot.Then he said, “Thanks, mate. I look great. Now I won’t embarrass you tonight.”
Standing behind Fionn, Hunter growled with pleasure as he gently cupped his mate’s ass with one hand. “You’ll never do that, pet. C’mon, let’s go find out what my brother’s been up to.” Then, grinning lasciviously, he added, “By the way, you look sexy as hell.
Beaming, Fionn took Hunter’s other hand, leading him to the door. Hoping it would settle his nerves, he took a deep breath and then, after letting it out, opened the door. “Hi Robin, I’m Fionn.”
“Pet, this is my brother Sawyer. Where’s Robin?” asked Hunter.
“He had something to do, so I offered to show you where you’ll be dining tonight,” Sawyer answered, pushing off from the wall he was leaning against. “Please follow me.”
Grabbing his brother’s arm, Hunter snarled, “Where are your fucking manners? Can’t you say ‘hello’ to my mate?”
Sawyer’s eyes widened, then, smirking at his brother, said “I could ask the same of you. Would you care to introduce him to me?”
Mentally kicking himself at his mistake, Hunter said, “Fionn, this is my brother Sawyer. Sawyer, my Fated Mate, Fionn.”
“Nice to meet you, Sawyer” Fionn said, shyly.
“Same here, Fionn. Welcome to the family,” Sawyer grinned, before turning and heading down the hallway.
“He’s the brother who was the troublemaker, right?” Fionn whispered.
“Yup, a pain in the ass…still is,” Hunter whispered back.
“I heard that,” grinned Sawyer, leading them outside.
Glancing at the darkened forest, Fionn followed Sawyer along a moss-covered path through the woods. The remaining daylight was quickly fading and Fionn wondered how he’d see his food. “Are we really going to eat outside?”
“It looks like it,” Hunter said. “Is that okay?”
