Chapter 12

Mason calls Malcolm to come to the villa before we go into an in depth explanation of everything that happened while we were in the inner realm.

“He’ll be here in a minute,” Mason tells me, ending the call and dropping his phone back in his front pant pocket.

“Is there a reason you want him here?” I ask. “I’ve noticed you’ve been including him in a lot of things lately.”

Mason looks to see where Aiden is. We are standing near the fireplace and Aiden is on the other side of the room talking to Chandler and Rafe.

“I have plans for Malcolm,” Mason tells me in a low voice.

“What sort of plans?” I ask in an equally low voice.

Mason gently takes both my hands into his which makes me worry he’s about to say something I’m not going to like.

“Do you remember me telling you I want to become human and live a normal life with you after the Tear is sealed?” He asks.

“Yes,” I reply, “I remember.”

Mason’s brow furrows like he’s not quite sure how I’m going to react to the rest of what he has to say.

“I would like to put that on hold for a few years. Would that be ok with you?”

“Mind me asking why?”

“I don’t feel right leaving my men without a leader. I would like a few years to prepare Malcolm for that job before I become human.”

“Have you told Malcolm your plans for him yet?”

“No. I will when the time is right. Though, I have a feeling he already knows something is up. At the moment, I’m more concerned about how you feel about my plan.”

I smile.

“Don’t look so worried,” I tell him, looking him up and down. “How old would you say you are physically in human years?”

Mason shrugs. “I would guess somewhere around 28 or 29. Why?”

“Well I’m only 22. Let’s wait until I’m 29 before you become human. I don’t want you cheating me out of years with you and dying early.”

Mason smiles. “I’ve always liked the way you think, Agent Riley.”

“I know, Mr. Collier. That’s why we get along so well.”

Mason brings me fully into his arms and I wrap mine around his waist. “Can you guess what I’m thinking about right now, Agent?”

“Hmm,” I say running my hands up Mason’s back. “It wouldn’t happen to be what we did in the shower last night would it?”

“It would be exactly that,” Mason says, a wry grin on his face. “Can we do that again tonight?”

I lean up and whisper in his ear, “Yes.”

Then I pull away because I see Malcolm phase in directly behind Mason.

“Am I interrupting something… again?” Malcolm asks with a knowing grin.

“Aren’t you always?” I reply back but with a smile.

“Well honestly,” Malcolm says as Mason turns to face him too, “when are the two of you not groping one another?”

“I’ll ignore that for now,” I tell him. “We have more important things to talk about at the moment.”

After Mason, Aiden and Malcolm resituate the furniture in
