“I know what you are thinking…but it’s true. The gods and Fates have picked these brothers and now some of their cousins for an absolutely unbelievable array of gifts. And they know they will use their gifts wisely. So, yes, Remy and Carson can draw on additional help if needed.”
After a long pause, Brady asked, “Who else knows about this pack? Does the Universal Paranormal High Council?”
“No…only members of the pack, me, Oracle, and our husbands…and now you.”
“I promise I won’t say a word,” Brady murmured.
“So, will you help me?” asked Mystia.
Glancing out his window again, Brady looked at his prize roses. “Who will take care of my girls?” he muttered to himself.
“I can cast a spell, putting them in stasis until you return.”
“IfI return, don’t you mean,” Brady snapped. “I have to think about this…putting my life on the line for what? My magic is gone along with my passion…I made a new life…a life that gives me pleasure every day. And now, that could all disappear if I go back into the world that inflicted so much pain on me.” Standing, Brady picked up the tray, taking it back into the kitchen.Mystia is asking so much…I just don’t know if I have it in me anymore.
Chapter 38
Holding Alex’s hand, Sawyer led him into the safe room where Glenn was still talking to Ghost, with Riley listening in. Reclaiming the chair he was sitting in before Oracle arrived, Sawyer tugged Alex down onto his lap, placing his hand over his mate’s belly. The shock was wearing off. His excitement was building as the news of his mate’s pregnancy settled into his heart. He was going to be a father to a tiger cub. Snorting quietly, he remembered his recent comments to Mac about not being interested in fatherhood.Time for me to eat my words!
“Who else was there?” Glenn asked Ghost.
“Just Panther…and the dude who was sucking his dick.”
“What did you do with him?”
“Before or after he made his offer?” asked Ghost.
“What was he offering? Intel about our target?”
“Ha…he offered to blow us for free…if we let him go.”
“Did…”
“Hey, Snow White,” yelled Smokey through the phone, “Ghost is getting soft. He refused the offer…can you fuckin’ believe it? I think there’s something seriously wrong in his head if he can pass up a free blow job. What a fucking waste.”
Alex looked at Sawyer. “Snow White?” he mouthed, silently.
Leaning in, Sawyer whispered in Alex’s ear, “His code name.”
Rolling his eyes, Alex murmured, “I figured that…but ‘Snow White’? Really? Our big tough tiger’s code name is Snow White? A Disney princess?”
A bark of laughter escaped Sawyer before Alex put his hand over his mate’s mouth. His eyes dancing with merriment, Sawyer kissed his mate’s palm before pulling it away. “I think it has more to do with the color of his tiger than our mate being a princess.”
“I don’t think so, cuz it could’ve been just Snowy…or Frosty…or, I know Stay Puft.”
“Stay Puft?”
“Yeah…you know, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man…big white puffy guy?”
Chuckling, Sawyer looked over at their white tiger. Puffy he wasn’t. “Ahh…sweetheart, I don’t think it fits him.”
“And you think Snow White does? A Disney princess?”
Shrugging, Sawyer replied, “Well, I think it’s better than soft gooey marshmallow.”
Shifting his focus, Alex stared at his tiger mate. Sawyer had a good point, Glenn certainly wasn’t soft anywhere. Then, imagining licking melted marshmallow off his mate’s hard abs, Alex grinned. Licking his lips in anticipation, he couldn’t wait untilthathappened.
Glancing over his shoulder, Glenn felt the surge of lust inside as he watched Alex’s tongue on the lips he suddenly wanted around his cock. Consumed with need for his mate, he didn’t hear Ghost.
