Dean choked before adjusting so he could suck Logan hard and fast. With the amount of family that was around, his protection barrier could only do so much. No one could see or hear them but that didn’t mean that someone wouldn’t stumble on what they were doing.

“More!” Logan begged, pumping his hips faster.

Dean was happy to follow that order.

Chapter Fourteen

Logan

Logan wasn’t the only one worried about Gavin going off on his own. Bryce had argued with Axel until Axel had taken his boy upstairs to talk to him in private. Logan hadn’t left Gavin’s side. He was worried about his friend. Gavin shouldn’t be going out on his own.

They sat side by side in the open field that belonged to their family.

This was not pride land.

This was family land.

The family that Axel had collected and made his own. His hoard. A dragon was protective over his hoard so Logan couldn’t understand why Gavin was going alone.

“It has to be me,” Gavin said, squeezing his fingers.

“Why alone?” Logan whined.

“Because I can get there fast,” Gavin said.

Logan snorted. He wasn’t that dumb. “Bo and Dean can both portal. We could call Rainier and use his portal. Just because you can fly—”

“Do you think that Bryce is going to guess right?” Gavin interrupted.

He huffed. This wasn’t fair.

Gavin nudged him.

“Of course he will,” Logan said. “Bryce is smarter than all of us put together.”

Gavin didn’t respond. He sat next to Logan. In Logan’s experience they could sit there for hours in silence. Logan was too wound up to let Gavin pull his silent bullshit.

“Gav—”

“I need to do this,” Gavin said quietly. “I can’t keep sitting here refusing to get involved in what’s happening.”

“You are involved,” Logan argued. “You’ve always been here for us. In the middle of things.”

Gavin leaned against his shoulder. “Did you know that I was around when we were first targeted by the hunters?”

The hunters? But that would make him…old. Really old.

“Don’t try to do the math. I’m older than everyone else. Including Axel.”

How had Logan not known that?

“My family went into hiding. There were already so few of our kind,” Gavin said. “I was a miracle baby. My parents didn’t think they’d ever be able to conceive.”

“I’ve never heard you talk about your family.”

“Because I don’t. Ever. I told Axel when I first joined him but that’s it. It hurts too much.”

“You don’t have to tell me,” Logan assured his friend. “I shouldn’t have pushed you. I’m sorry.”
