Jude was silent for an entire minute before saying, "Wait a minute. You called them paranormals. You already knew."
Mitchell grinned. Jude had always been good at reading people. "I just found out. Seryn can…do things no human should be able to do."
"Seryn. He's a weird guy, for sure."
"Don't call him that. He's not weird. He's unique."
Jude sucked in a breath. "Oh, my god. You're crushing, aren't you?"
What the hell had he said to give it away? But it was Jude. He knew Mitchell better than anyone. Mitchell would breathe a certain way and Jude could read into it correctly. "He says we're mates. Fated is what he called it."
"Oh, my god. Mitchell Burke is finally settling down and becoming an honest person." Jude chuckled. "Oh, my god. I must tell someone. This is too big to keep bottled up."
"Don't tell anyone yet."
"What? Why not? My older brother's finally in a committed relationship." Jude sucked in a breath. "Does this mean Seryn's my brother-in-law? Or wait! Since you raised me, is he like my stepdad? He is, isn't he?"
Well shit. Not Jude too. "It doesn't mean I'm in a committed relationship."
"I've got news for you. To a paranormal, it does. Anything less they see as rejection." There's no middle ground?
"What happened to taking things slow and dating?" He wanted to get to know Seryn before committing.
"They don't enjoy doing that. Daruss and I fell in love, but even then, it happened sort of fast. After Raylee, he didn't want to waste time. He got all bitey and wanted to fuck."
"Bitey." Yeah, that's what Seryn had wanted too, but he hadn't wanted to push Mitchell into anything.
"Yeah, it goes with the territory. It'll feel good. Just don't do what you always do and overthink. Just accept him."
Well, that advice would have been nice to hear an hour ago.
"You called Daruss daddy earlier." Seryn had called Mitchell that.
"Yeah, it's how our relationship is."
"What do you mean?"
"Daruss takes care of us by doing things for us. For Daruss, that mostly means he likes to make sure we have everything we need and want. And we like that, of course. But we also want him to…take charge. Like in the bedroom. You get what I mean, right?"
Mitchell rolled his eyes. "Yes, Jude. I understand."
"Well, I don't know what you're into."
Since Mitchell also liked to 'take charge in the bedroom', he understood. "And I don't want to tell you what I'm into. I also think we need to change the subject."
"You brought it up."
"Just one more thing I regret."
“Yeah, me too.”
Mitchell chuckled.
"So, what else should I know about mating with a paranormal?"
"I don't know about all paranormals, but I know Seryn a little. He hung out at the club. Before Daruss sent him to spy on Terrell anyway, but that was before we met Raylee and before Terrell died. And before Daruss sent Seryn to rescue you."
"Tell Daruss not to send Seryn on dangerous missions anymore."
