A sly grin settled on Adler’s face.That you have telepathy?Of course I enjoy it.My mate bite gave this to you…to us, and I really am so proud.You’re beautiful and sexy, hot, erotic—but smart too!—smarter than me probably, which I love, and you are always so cute when you look at whatever new little Kawaii Hunter dolls are out—

“They are collectibles, and it’s Kawaii Demon Hunter, just for your information.Detective.”

Gordon crossed his arms even as Adler thought,So cute.You know I’m just teasing, right, sweetheart?But not about you being sexy, hot, smart, a treat—

Gordon rolled his eyes.“Okay.Thank you.I get it.”

“Hmm.”Adler leaned in close to sniff Gordon’s hair, his neck.

Bryan cocked his head, appearing somewhat baffled by their apparently one-sided conversation.“You’ll stay?There’s a beautiful apartment, made ready for you.”

Gordon nodded.“We’ll stay.Just for the night.”

Bryan beamed and led them down a hallway decked out in artwork that Gordon would bet wasn’t anything printed or forged, but something commissioned solely for the purpose.There were sunrises and flower themes here, but Gordon found it hard to focus with Adler so close, Adler so warm and safe next to him.

Bryan opened a door for them, which led to a fully furnished set of rooms.This one had more character and color than the place Heath had put Raven in.There was a lot of purple and black, bold patterns, and at least two vases of fresh flowers.

“I hope you’ll be comfortable here for the night,” Bryan said.“You’re always welcome in the future too, so long as you request Clement to babysit.”

Adler turned, briefly robbing Gordon of his touch.“We’ll think about it.Good night, Bryan.”He closed the door on the too-happy Lar.

Gordon let out a heavy sigh, and in the next instant, the large, warm body of his mate was all around him, Adler’s mouth on Gordon’s.

Heavens, so much happened today, and this just feels good,Gordon thought.There were things he needed to ask Adler, about their investigation and what they could determine about whether anyone at the Forum was actively involved, but his brain simply couldn’t handle that right now.His teeth lengthened on their own accord.

“Please just fuck me,” Gordon said, his voice ragged.

Adler picked him up, big hands kneading Gordon’s buttocks while Gordon put his legs around Adler’s waist.They kissed, and Adler’s low growl reverberated all through Gordon.

You’re hungry, sweetheart.I can feel your teeth.I’m sorry I wasn’t there earlier.

“No, it’s fine, I just…”

Gordon’s voice petered off while Adler carried him through the dark apartment, somehow finding the bedroom where he put Gordon back on his feet.

“Please take your damn jeans off, sweetheart.They’re too damn tight, and I can’t deal with those buttons right now.”

Gordon giggled, then laughed.All the tension burst out with the noise, and Adler stared, a bit surprised, a bit concerned, terribly horny.

“Sorry, just… Never mind.Removing pants.”Gordon did, in a hurry too, his teeth scraping against his lips.

Adler did the same, taking off his borrowed clothes until they were both naked in the darkness.Gordon didn’t stop to stare, dropped into bed and wiggled under the covers.Adler followed within moments, pulling Gordon back into his arms and kissing him.

“You’re hungry.Come on, eat.”He tilted his head so that Gordon had easy access, offering himself.

“I won’t take much.”

“Sweetheart, you take as much as you need.You know I like this.I like being there for you.”

“I love you,” Gordon whispered before he sank his teeth into Adler’s neck.

Adler in turn tightened his hold on Gordon as if he were ready to be drunk dry, as if he wouldn’t mind.It’s fine, sweetheart, drink, go ahead.Don’t starve yourself,he thought.

But Gordon didn’t need that much anymore, not when it was Adler’s blood.He stopped before long, taking his time to lick the small puncture wounds, making sure the bleeding had stopped.Before he could do anything else, Adler moved, turning them until Gordon was on his back.

“How’re you feeling?”

Gordon smiled.“I should be asking you that.”
