Chapter Nine
They walked into Jensen’s apartment and he immediately picked up the kettle. Filling it, he put it on the stove and waited for it to boil. He listened to Brayden move around, and as he glanced over at him, he found him staring out of the living room window. That window faced Main Street in the town, and at this time of day, the place would be busy.
It was almost nine in the morning and though Jensen had had a few hours of sleep, he could still feel the tiredness creeping up on him. He stretched and closed his eyes, letting out a sigh. He wanted to sleep, but it was time to talk. Him and Brayden.
Turning around, he leaned back on the counter and watched his mate. Tall and broad, with a bald head which was shaved from what Jensen could tell, and a neatly trimmed beard. Jensen wanted to feel that beard on his face, and other body parts.
Brayden looked over at him and their eyes held. Jensen could feel the lust building and knew Brayden would catch his scent in the air. He wasn’t ashamed as such, mates were attracted to each other, but he wanted to know the man who was his mate and he needed to control his desire in order to do that.
What now? Did they talk, then fuck? Did they hold off on their mating until after the raid? Would Brayden even want to mate, considering he was merely a human? He had so much going on; his mind was a chaotic mess. Thoughts of the previous night filtered through. Hunter had said Brayden had saved his life. Was it because he was his mate? Did he even know at that point that Jensen was human? Would he have saved him if he had known?
The past twenty-four hours had been a roller coaster of emotions. The focus required to execute the mission, the shock and horror of the explosion, and the torture of believing his mate was a traitor to humans. Then later, the driving need to protect his mate from the horror he’d experienced at a colleague’s hand, the questions and realization that maybe, just maybe, Brayden wasn’t really a traitor after all, that in fact he was doing what needed to be done to keep his brother safe. If you were living that life day in and day out, eventually your perception of the situation becomes warped, as it appeared Brayden’s had.
But still he was struggling with the fact that, despite all he knew, he would have just sat back and watched both humans and vampires die. He would have been safe while millions of others died around him. It was a sobering thought.
This plan was mind-blowing. Never in Jensen’s wildest dreams would he have thought someone would do anything like it. Switch off the power and let the country go to hell? Let millions of people die so they could rule?
He wrapped his arms around himself as a sudden tremor wracked his body.
