Chapter 24

“Alaric, we’re so glad you’re here helping us with this.” Benton grimaced. They were interviewing candidates for the housekeeping position Chander had finally agreed to. The leader of the necromancers was locked in his office and wanted nothing to do with it, but at least they’d found another reason to drag Alaric from the compound. Benton and Baxter were determined to make sure Chander didn’t miss out on having a mate even if the biggest obstacle was his own piss-poor attitude toward the process.

“It’s been an interesting day,” Alaric said.

“That’s very diplomatic of you.” Baxter kissed Benton’s cheek.

Benton leaned close to his man. “Not all the candidates have been bad.”

“They haven’t been good either,” Baxter countered.

“How many are left?” Alaric asked.

“Just one,” Benton replied. “Hopefully he’s good, or we’re going to have to wait until we get more applications. Who knew this would be so hard?”

“You know what else is hard?” Baxter whispered through their mindlink.

“Shit, would you behave? That’s our leader sitting there.”

“Spoilsport.”

“I’ll take care of you later.”

“Not if I fuck you first.”

There was a knock at the door that Benton jumped up to answer. Any more of his conversation with Baxter, and he’d likely forget all about finding a housekeeper and drag his mate to any available surface.

“Can I help you?” Benton asked the short man at the door. He had soft blond curls and bright green eyes.

“Yes, my name is Victor Antonov,” he said. “I have an appointment for an interview.”

“Please come in. My name is Benton Daray,” he invited as he led Victor into the living room. He pointed to Alaric. “That is Lich Sentinel Arch Lich-mate, Alaric Daray, and the annoying blond is my mate, Baxter Daray.”

“It’s nice to meet all three of you,” Victor replied.

“Go ahead and have a seat,” Baxter requested as Benton resumed his place squished up against him.

Victor did as he was asked and then looked at them with a smile. “Thank you for giving me this opportunity today. I know I don’t have any genuine experience, but I’ve been cleaning my whole life.”

“It says you’re a shifter,” Alaric stated. “Do you mind me asking what kind?”

“Not at all, I’m a Russian Blue shifter.”

Benton had known he was a type of cat, but it was hard for even a sentinel to determine between the different breeds if they were in human form. “What about being a housekeeper interests you?”

“Everything. I have a big family and I’ve always been the one organizing and keeping the house tidy. It’s something I enjoy. I’ve always heard you should find a job doing something you love, and I’m fiercely dedicated to eradicating dust.”

“That’s good because we’re pretty sure it breeds around here,” Baxter responded. “This building does have a service to deliver groceries and other household goods, but it would be preferable if you had transportation.”

“I have a car,” Victor said. “And I know this building has a full-service kitchen, but I can cook as well.”

“Good, because it’s likely the only way we can entice the Arch Lich to eat regularly.
