Spitfire expected to wake up cold and alone. Every other time he'd spent the entire night fucking like a wild creature, that was what happened. But this wasn't a Rodeo or even a single night with a tom his former owner Agent had rented him out to. He'd spent a long, lovely few hours with a no-fur and a pair of toms that he actually cared about and who seemed to care for him in return.He stretched out, shaking off the blanket wrapped tight around him, and found Doll snuggled in next to him. Dropping one arm and leg over the smaller no-fur, Spitfire wondered how much longer their toms would let them sleep in.His body squirmed thinking about how they might wake them up.It wasn't that Spitfire was in love with Doll and Hades, but there was a connection there now. He might be forming a bond with them that was not the strong Innehavre bond he could feel forming with Guru, but it was something special nonetheless. He wondered if there was a word for it. He'd seen no

Liam Martelli sat quietly, looking at the beautiful mirrored glass chevron wall that stood behind his desk. Cook had picked it out and hired someone to redo his office while the mafioso was on one of his longer trips.It was beautiful and what they had done on the desk upon his return while he noted one of the colors was an exact match for one of the swirls of color in his lover's eyes was even more so.He flexed his claws in and out of his paws. This was something he had done everything to assure would never happen. This was the one thing that would negate his no-killing policy.Taking his husband, his whole world, was a crime punishable by worse than death.He'd sent away his vortex-making pair of minions and was now just awaiting the telltale pop of his guest's arrival.As three pops went off in succession, he spun around slowly, ready for anything."Ah, well I hadn't expected to see all of you. But I can't stress enough how important the

"That's awfully fucking convenient," Jinx snarled, mocking Liam's statement of 'I deal in secrets and know when it's best to keep them or best to spill them.'"Can someone please catch me up on what the fuck is going on?” Hades cut in. “Since when does Jinx have a seeding pocket? And who's going to be fucking him?""Since I was born," Jinx answered, his dark glare not wavering from Liam. "And nobody is fucking me. That option is off the table.""You... but..." Hades looked like his brain was about to explode."How do you think toms reproduced? No-furs didn't always exist. The omegas used to be toms, and nearly every Orangelo used to be an omega." Jinx opted for the short version of the story his people told. "There's a great legend about all this but I'll have to tell you later. Once we've settled the fact that my pocket is very much off-limits."Guru scratched his head. "I'm doing my best to keep up here but you have no-fur parts? And you're a tom. But you have a problem with sex? Th

It wasn't moving when Agent approached the cage that held the creature named Lexi. It very likely had a more dignified Demon name, and King would know it if he were here. But he wasn't and Agent didn't care to find out. There were more important bits of information he needed from the Demon.Blinking several times to awaken his godsight and trying not to be concerned about how long it took for his eyes to adjust to using the power, Agent bent low to examine the motionless green body. The spirals of connection flared out from it in varying degrees of importance. The brightest connection, shining bright like a star, was an Innehavre connection to Agent's rival for the power of Chaos.Pressing his lips together, Agent rocked back onto his heels. He tapped his toes on the floor as he considered the creature, wondering how useful it could really be. After all, it was part of the legacy of the candidates for the power of Chaos to be led around by their connections to their bonded mates. That

It was a long helicopter ride from Liam Martelli's tower to the first location Jinx had picked out to look for the circus where he hoped his brother was. It had been an empty field, the circus already moved on. Jinx felt stupid for not checking the internet before he flew all the way here, but now that they had double-checked the other locations, they were on the way to the second choice. According to the stream of social media pictures, the circus was still setting up there. But it meant another two hours in the air with the other toms.It wasn't Jinx's idea of a good time, but at least they were mostly silent. He was still trying to sort out the connection that had formed between Guru and Hades. They sat in the back of the helicopter, with Hades constantly giving Guru little touches and glances, all seemingly meant to comfort. Not that Jinx could blame him. Guru was a mess. Finding out that he didn't have a full bond with Spitfire had really thrown the tom for a loop.
