Page 41 of Isaiah and Jameson
Oh. Oh yes. He rewarded his lover for that with a deep kiss, one that fed his soul.
Isaiah melted under his touch, heat pouring into him. Heat and wonder. Could this be real? It had to be.
Jameson simply wouldn’t accept anything else.

“Congratulations, cousin.”Damian drawled the words out, reminding Isaiah why he never left his wing. “Your new consort is toothsome indeed.”
He blinked slowly, refusing to respond. “Your point?”
What are you doing here, cousin?
“I might have a bite.”
“No, you might not. Did you need anything?”
“Just to make sure you were well. I imagine his, your consort’s, appetites exceed yours.”
“His appetites are none of your affair.”
“They are if they make you ill.” Damian opened his eyes very wide. “I worry about you.”
Isaiah growled softly. “Lying doesn’t become you, cousin.”
“Leadership doesn’t become you.” Sneering, Damian waved a hand around “You don’t deserve all this.”
Isaiah hated this nonsense, but they were no better than animals, down at their core. None of them.
His hand flashed out, connecting with Damian’s jaw. No one talked to the head of the family that way. His father had taught him that.
“You can go.” He didn’t bother to hide his sneer.
Damian stroked his jaw. “You’ll pay for that cousin.”
“Now.” He refused to look away, to give Damian the satisfaction.
“Fine. But this isn’t over.” Damian flounced away.
Diego appeared from the shadows. “He’s trouble.”
“He is. He always has been.” Ever since he could remember. Whereas Isaiah always been the small one, the lean one, the quiet one.
“You should tell your consort about his ambitions.” Diego said it without inflection, but he knew it was more than a suggestion.
“Perhaps. I’m not helpless. I managed for centuries before…”
“Yes. But he can’t help you if he doesn’t know. Jameson being here has suddenly made Damian bold.”
“He needs to pop his cork somewhere not under my roof.”
“Of course. I’m just trying to help.” Diego smiled. “I like your Jameson.”
“I do too. He’s a good man, a solid friend, and—” Sexual. Sensual. Stunning.
“Mmm. He seems pretty canny.” Diego knew the score. Such a smart man.
“He does. Very. I care for him, very much.”
