They both turned when they heard Katarina speak.
“What do you mean, Mom? He’s my friend. I’m concerned.”
“He’s being taken care of,” she said to him. “Trust me he’s in very good hands.”
“Goodness, since I found out about your seer abilities, you haven’t stopped making predictions. It’s eerie,” Grayson said, and Quintus had to agree.
“I know, dear.” She gently touched his cheeks. “But it was time I started being the real me and not pretend. Things will even out after a while.”
“So, he’s fine?” Quintus asked her.
“For now,” she told them and walked away to stand beside her husband.
“I know what she said, but I’m still worried,” Quintus told his friend.
“Me too. But we have to leave it for now. Whatever happens, we’ll stand by and support him, right?” Grayson looked at him, and Quintus nodded.

It was laterthat night when everyone had left, and Quintus and Scott were in bed cuddling. Scott’s grandparents had gone to stay at the Mayor’s Mansion since there was more than enough room.
“I get it now,” Quintus said.
“Hmm…What do you get?”
“Everything,” Quintus said, raising his head and resting his chin on Scott’s chest. “I get why you waited so long to tell me about your family...well my family now too. They are a bit over the top and intimidating.”
“And that’s not even all of them. But you’ll get to meet them later, we have our whole lives ahead of us.”
Quintus nodded. “I also get why you got so angry about seeing me with Lucas Brooks.”
Quintus had found out the man portraying himself as Lucas Brooks was Scott’s uncle and the god of tricks, Loki.
“Not telling you about him was my fault,” Scott said. “But please, stay away from Loki. I know he was trying to use you to get to me. And through me, he’s trying to get to my bearer. I’m sorry about the deal you signed to have your company do work with him.”
“We didn’t sign on the dotted line, yet. And your parents already gave me a better offer.”
“Oh, really?” Scott asked.
“Yes, they want more towns like Vale Valley, and Wolfe Construction will be hired to build the new homes. With this new deal I’m able to expand the company all over the country.”
“I see. So you guys are partners for life?”
“Partners yes, but my life will only ever belong to you.”
“You say the sweetest things,” Scott leaned down and kissed him.
“That’s because I’m a sweet guy,” he said against Scott’s mouth.
His mate’s fingers slowly moved down his back and grabbed his ass, squeezing each cheek in turn.
“That you are. And you will be even sweeter tomorrow after I’m done with you,” he said when their mouths separated.
“I’m glad we’re still continuing with our lifestyle,” Quintus told Scott.
“Me too. I spoke with Morgan, and he is perfectly fine with us doing our scenes together. But when you start showing, I will need to tailor things differently.”
“Sounds good, so what do you have in mind?”
