Micah watched the two most important people in his life fall all over each other while they howled like loons. Initially, this had been his goal. He wanted Ian and August to like each other. He just hadn’t expected them to like each other quite so much.

August belonged to him. Yeah, he was a territorial, jealous, possessive fucker, and quite frankly, he didn’t give a damn. He’d played it safe, let August set the pace, and he’d been willing to grovel until his mate had no choice but to take him back.

The last five minutes had changed everything, though.

Grabbing August by the elbow, he jerked his mate out of the way and then pivoted, driving his fist right into his best friend’s face.

“Micah!”

“Don’t,” Micah warned his mate. “Don’t say anything.” Then he wrapped an arm around August’s waist, crushing him close as he slanted their mouths together in a heated, hungry kiss.

A low, fierce growl rolled up from his belly when August melted against his chest, opening to him with a lusty little sigh. Their tongues met and twined, sliding together in a sensual duel. Fuck, August tasted just as he remembered, felt just the same pressed so tightly against his body. It was like no time at all had passed, and yet, on some level, it all felt brand new again.

When the urge to gut and dismember his roommate subsided, he pulled away from August’s swollen lips, smiling at the dazed look in his mate’s glowing eyes.

“You remember where the bathroom is down the hall?” He tucked a strand of hair behind August’s ear and brushed a tender kiss across his brow. “Why don’t you go get washed up while I talk to Ian for a minute?”

“Okay.” August touched his fingertips to his bottom lips while he bobbed his head. “Yeah, right, okay.”

When he disappeared from the kitchen, Micah turned to Ian with an arched eyebrow. “So?”

“At the risk of another right hook, I think I’m in love.” Ducking out of Micah’s reach, Ian held his hands up and laughed. “Oh, get over yourself, dickhead. He’s smart, witty, and he’s tough. You can tell he’s been through some shit, but he’s still in the fight.” Ian sobered, looking Micah directly in the eye. “You better not screw this up.”

“I know what I want,” Micah answered with a pointed look toward the mouth of the hallway. “I’m glad you like him, and he seems to like you, but…just keep your distance.” He meant it as more of a warning than a threat, because he couldn’t control his instincts. “I don’t actually enjoy hitting you.”

“At least we agree on that much.” Ian rubbed his jaw. “I don’t enjoy you hitting me, either.”

“I can agree with that,” August said from the kitchen entryway. He had his head bent, and he fidgeted his fingers together nervously as he spoke. “Um, I think I should probably go.”

“So, you said Meredith had a date tonight?” Micah asked, ignoring any talk of August leaving.

August gave him a look he couldn’t decipher, glanced at Ian, and then frowned.
