Linus, on the other hand, is a lawyer in Missouri. I paid his way, which is the only reason he takes my calls once a week. He promised to reach out to his sister, but I don’t think he appreciates that she’s packed up with such violent men.

Oh well, you can’t help who biology chooses for you.

“Jasper?” Cerenity asks as I blink. Fuck, I kind of got sucked into my head there.

“Yes, Tiny?” I ask, attempting to cover up for the fact that I lost the thread of our conversation. If she said anything to me, I missed it.

“You’re thinking really hard over there,” she teases me, even as she blushes. “Tell me something I don’t know?”

God, there’s so much. Fuck. Tommy saves the day by murmuring, “We have an apartment next door, and that’s where we’ve been showering, or spending down time when you’re not here.”

“Next door where? I thought this entire floor was occupied,” she says in surprise.

This is either going to go really well, or very badly. Glaring at him as I say, ‘what the fuck,’ with my gaze, Tommy just grins as he kisses Tiny’s forehead. She melts into his body, even as she processes the information.

“What did you do?” Cerenity growls, making me snicker. I feel as if I was just a bad boy and I would happily let her whip my ass with a paddle.

“Tommy did it. I didn’t!” I crow.

“Fuck, throw me under the bus why don’t you,” he groans. “I bribed your leasing manager to kick them out. When I went to the office, he was fucking the now ex-tenant over his desk.”

“Ugh, he’s kind of a sleaze,” Cerenity mutters. “I’ve never had an issue with him because Auggie just deals with him, but he’s a dick.”

“Are you mad?” Tommy asks, turning to kiss down her body. Cerenity is still naked, while Tommy is wearing his sweatpants from last night. It gives him a lot of skin to kiss and nibble on.

Her long moan draws out a rumpled looking Augustine and Gabriel, both looking sleepy and half dressed.

“I’m not mad, I just can’t believe you’re sleeping on my floor when you have more room in an apartment next door,” she says with a laugh.

Gabriel snorts, used to our antics, and Augustine rolls his eyes.

“They’re committed to being around, Sweetheart,” Augustine says. “How did you sleep?”

“Really good, actually,” she says, looking happy. I want to keep that look on her face. “I hear we’re going to have the apartment to ourselves soon, though.”

“We’ll be back tomorrow,” Tommy reassures her. “Then, we won’t really have much reason to go to Chicago unless it’s to visit family. Marie is stubborn, and insists that she loves her job even though her boss is a dick.”

“Is he?” I ask. I didn’t know that.

“Yeah, he’s always bothering her about not doing something correctly, even though Marie is very careful and thorough,” he grumbles. “I’m sure we could find her a job in Minneapolis.”

“She seems very independent,” Cerenity says gently. “Remember what we discussed about choices?”

Tommy groans, burying his face in her tits to make her squeal.

“Fuck, now I’m hard and horny,” Gabriel grumbles as Augustine smirks.

“Yes, you’re right,” Tommy murmurs, talking to Tiny. “We’ll be back tomorrow, and then the fights are the day after.”

“Fuck, where did the week go,” Gabriel groans. “This’ll be my last fight.”

“Really?” Cerenity asks, and I realize we really haven’t told her shit.

“I feel like we need a pack meeting or something,” I sigh, glancing at Augustine with a raised eyebrow.

Shrugging, he nods. “I’m all in. My only interest is making sure Cere and Gabriel are happy,” he says. “If she wants you two assholes too, so be it.”

Cerenity sits up, wrapping a blanket around her, and Gabriel notices. Pulling off his tank-top, he tosses it to her with a wink. Flushing, she thanks him, pulling it on.
