in his entire life had he passed up a warm hole so willingly offered.
But Echo was different.
Walking into his bedroom, Onyx closed the door quietly behind him and went to sit on the foot of the bed with Echo still cradled against his chest. He stroked his lover’s hair, his face, and trailed his fingertips over Echo’s swollen bottom lip. “Take what you need, sweetheart.” He tilted his head to the side, baring his throat to his mate.
A needy whimper reached Onyx’s ears just before Echo struck, sinking his canines into Onyx’s neck and sucking hard at the wound. His other hand zeroed in on Onyx’s throbbing cock, squeezing and massage him through his pants.
Lightning strikes of overwhelming pleasure slammed into him, robbing the breath from his lungs, and Onyx groaned pathetically as his cock discharged, saturating his boxers and leaving a wet stain on his jeans.
His arms wound around Echo’s back, holding him tightly, encouraging his mate to take as much as he needed. “I love you,” he whispered.
If someone had told him a few short months ago that his entire world would change with the arrival of one beautiful little imp, he’d have laughed in their face. He’d be eating crow now, of course, but he’d do it with a smile on his face.
Yes, Echo was definitely his miracle.
Chapter Five
Myst pounced on Craze the minute the man walked into the kitchen. “Where have you been? Where’s Jinx and Syn? Why didn’t you tell anyone you were leaving? Why don’t you want to talk about it? What happened?”
Hex chuckled and looped his arm around Myst’s neck. “Give the man a chance to talk, babe.” He kissed Myst’s temple before releasing him and strolling over to take a seat at the table. He waved his hand for Craze to join him.
The other warriors gathered around the table as well, and Mac stood off to the side as though he wasn’t quite sure if he should stay or leave.
Myst kicked the chair beside him out from under the table and gestured to it. “Have a seat, Mac. We’ll figure out where your mates are, and we’ll bring them home safe. I promise.”
Mac gave him a tiny smile and slid into the seat beside him. “Thank you, Myst. I’m scared.”
He ruffled the smaller man’s hair and tried to drudge up some confidence that he didn’t feel. “We’ll find them,” he repeated. The sad, lost look in Mac’s eyes broke his heart. Sweet hell, he was becoming a total sap.
He blamed it on Echo.
Speaking of his mate… “Should we wait for Onyx and Echo?”
Vapre smirked. “We’ll fill them in later.”
“I’m pretty sure Echo is as about as filled as he’s going to get.” Fiero snickered at his own joke, and quiet chuckles went around the table.
“Okay, guys, can it,” Hex chastised, but he, too, was smiling. Then he turned his focus back to Craze. “We’ll get to you and your mates in a minute, but, first, do you know where Gage and Sony are?”
Craze’s eyes darted to Mac, and his brow creased into a shallow V . “They’re not here?”
Sliding further down in his seat, Myst groaned. How could six people go missing from their house, and no one knew where the others were? They all suddenly had something important to do at the exact same time?
“He’s not answering his phone,” Mac said quietly. “Do you think they left me?”
“Not a chance,” Syx answered with conviction. “Gage and Sony love you, Mac. You know that. They’ll be back, and then you can make them pay for worrying you.” He winked at the man, but Mac didn’t smile.
“I don’t want them to pay. I just want them home.”
Myst patted Mac’s knee, but he didn’t have a damn thing to say to reassure the runt.
“Okay, so where have you been, and why the fuck didn’t you tell anyone?” Hex demanded of Craze.
“I’m sorry,” Craze said coldly. “I didn’t realize I had to report to you.”
“Do not start your shit, asshole,” Fiero called from his usual place at the end of the table.
