Chapter Sixteen

SABRINA COULDN’T BELIEVE the conversation they were having. Well, she could, and she did. As far-fetched as it all sounded, she knew in her soul Deacon was telling the truth. “I’m going to venture a guess that all the men coming and going from Jonathan’s room are part of your Clan. You said they were family, so that would make sense. And their women have accepted this bond? Joseph said I was already considered part of the family. That’s why, isn’t it?”

“Yes. Once we find our mate, they automatically become part of the Clan as do their family. You will find the men and women who are mates are a tight-knit group, and you’ll have a new set of friends whether you want one or not.”

“Men too?”

“Yes. There are gay Gargoyles. Is that a problem?”

“Not at all. I believe everyone should be able to love whom they choose without prejudice. And having a group of friends sounds nice. Especially if they’re who I think they are. Kaya, if she’s one of them, has already sang your praises and offered her friendship. It’s been a long time since I’ve had that type of closeness, and I’ve missed it. My life has been filled with work and not much else.” Sabrina was excited at the prospect of having people in her life who were more than colleagues. She was nervous about Deacon being something other than human, but it also gave her hope for the future if what he said was true. Did she believe in the whole fated-mate concept? She wasn’t sure, but she really had nothing to lose by giving their relationship a chance and everything to gain. He was handsome and kind. He had shown her nothing but goodness so far. Both Kaya and Joseph had put in a good word for him. Kaya, the former chief of police, had to be a good judge of character, and Joseph... it was probable her boss was also a Gargoyle, and Sabrina held him in the highest regard. First, though, she wanted to see Deacon in his true form.

“Will you show me?”

Deacon frowned. “Are you sure you’re ready?”

“As I’ll ever be.”

Deacon slid off the bed. “First, I’ll start with my hands.” He held his hands out in front of him, and razor-sharp claws extended from his fingertips. As quickly as the appeared, they were gone. “Now, my teeth.” Deacon opened his mouth and fangs protruded over his bottom lip. “Just so you know, if we complete the bond, I will bite your shoulder with these.” He tapped one of them with his finger. “It will happen during sex, and I’ve heard it only makes the orgasm that much stronger.” He retracted the sharp canines. “Now for my wings.”

“You have wings?” Holy crap. Those she had to see.

Grinning, Deacon rolled his shoulders, and a pair of leathery wings spread out behind him. Sabrina scooted to the end of the bed on her knees, wanting to get a closer look. She stretched out a hand, but Deacon took a step back, his wings disappearing.
