second they are gone. You got me?”
The glow returned to Winter’s eyes in an instant and he smiled, showing just a hint of fangs. “Agreed.”
Fox marched out of the kitchen and up to the guest room, confident that he was never going to get rid of his goddamn hard-on.
Chapter 13
Winter cursed himself and his incredibly shitty luck as he stood in the kitchen alone, gripping the edge of the counter. Of course Fox could kiss like he was trying to tongue Winter’s fucking soul. And Winter had never wanted him to stop kissing or moaning or that delicious little squirm he did that rubbed their bodies together.
He wasn’t even going to lie to himself and say it was good that they stopped.
Fuck. That. Shit.
The second his family was out of his house, he was tossing Fox over his shoulder and carrying him to the first bed he could find. He needed inside that man, needed to feel him moving and hear him screaming Winter’s name in pleasure.
This had to be karmic payback for interrupting Bel with his wolves a few months ago. It wasn’t like Winter had tried to intrude on a sexy moment, and Bel had never said he was intruding, but it had only taken one look to know that Winter had arrived at a really bad time.
Right now, his main worry was his family overwhelming Fox and making him feel bad about his supposed part in this prophecy or his powers.
Shit!
His family didn’t know about the ghosts.
Shoving away from the counter, Winter raced up the stairs. He only had a couple of minutes between his brothers pulling into the garage, parking, and climbing to the second floor. He barged straight into Fox’s room without knocking on the door. The man was standing by the bed shirtless, a collared shirt on a hanger in his hands.
“Out! I just got everything to start settling down. I’m not your fucking yo-yo!” Fox snapped, pointing toward the door.
“No, it’s not that. The ghosts.”
Fox stiffened, his face instantly shifting from frustration to worry. “What? Can you see them again?” He dropped the shirt onto the bed and started patting on his chest. “Did I like…turn off or something when we were kissing?”
Winter relaxed a little and smiled. No one should be this adorable. He had no defense against it. “No, I can’t see them still.”
Fox dropped his head and released a relieved breath. “Oh, good.”
“I just wanted to warn you, don’t mention the ghosts or what you do for me to my family.”
Fox’s head snapped back up, his brows beetling over his slender nose. “What? Why?”
“There isn’t time to go into it. They don’t know, and now is not a good time to tell them everything.”
Just the idea of telling his brothers everything he’d been hiding from them made his stomach flip and churn. He prayed he never had to tell them, and that was at the top of a very long list of things.
Fox’s eyes narrowed on him, but he huffed a “fine.” It was clear the young man had a lot to say about Winter’s choice to keep his family in the dark, but he was kindly keeping his opinions to himself. At least for now.
“Hurry up and get dressed,” Winter said with a smirk.
The witch flipped him off with one hand as he picked up the shirt with the other. “You should count yourself lucky if I don’t come down the stairs naked. Let your family think you’re fucking me on every flat surface,” Fox said to his departing back.
Winter smiled. He wasn’t sure if that would make it their most interesting family meeting, but it would definitely make the top five.
On the main floor, he quickly darted into the guest bathroom and splashed some cold water on his face. He cringed when he looked in the mirror. His lips were swollen, and his hair was a mess from Fox’s exploring fingers. Someone started pounding on the front door as he pulled his hair into a fresh ponytail and prayed his family didn’t notice the lip issue. The cold shock of his family’s imminent arrival was helping to cool other problems.
Groaning, Winter shuffled to the door, unlocked it, and stepped back as he swept it open. Marcus’s angry frown immediately greeted him on the other side. Of course the family sledgehammer was in the lead. It was kind of amazing that he was also the family negotiator when it came to dealing with the Ministry and other vampire clans.
