Victor was arranging a plate of cookies when Alaric heard the doorbell. His long stride ate up the distance to the door quickly. Opening it, he saw Chander wearing jeans, a collared button-down, and a sportscoat.

“You look good,” he said before leaning down to kiss him.

“I smell cookies,” Baxter announced.

Chander pulled away and scowled. “Go inside and get some so I can greet Alaric properly.”

“I can’t wait until he’s having sex again,” Baxter told Benton as the pair headed for the kitchen area. “He’s more pleasant when he’s getting laid.”

“You know it’s strange but somehow, severing the bond between sentinels and necromancers has still left me with two of them,” Chander observed.

“It’s the only thing that allows me to sleep at night.”

“I’m not going to fight with you, so I will refrain from pointing out I’m literally the most powerful person on this planet.”

“You look good today,” Alaric offered.

“I have to tell you something,” Chander replied as he slipped his fingers between Alaric’s daggers at the bottom edge of his bright sash.

“What’s that?”

“This uniform makes me crazy.”

“Is it like the mouth thing?”

“Yeah, it’s so sexy. I can hardly stand it.”

Alaric cupped Chander’s jaw and bit down lightly on his top lip before sliding his tongue into his mouth. Chander responded eagerly and they were kissing hungrily when the doorbell rang a second time.

“Fuck,” Chander said when Alaric pulled away.

“Whenever you want,” Alaric replied as he released his man to open the door.

“Tease,” Chander muttered. It was their expected guests, and Alaric led them to the kitchen where Chander had wandered to join the others. Victor handed out cold drinks and then offered to give them privacy.

“I imagine we’re all together to discuss the photo,” Chander told him. “It hurt you too. If you wish to stay, you’re welcome to.”

“I admit I am curious,” Victor replied.

“I wish I had good news for all of you,” Drystan said. “But I’m afraid I don’t. We followed the trail and it took a great deal of work to unravel it. Chand, it was sent from your work computer.”

Chander threw up his arms. “Of course, it was. I didn’t fucking send it.”

“Baby, you hadn’t even been in your office for months when you got it. We know you didn’t send it.” Alaric rubbed a hand over Chander’s back. Chander’s eyes were furious.

“I’ll admit I found it curious you two agreed to meet us here, but it appears I’m not up to speed on current events,” Drystan observed.

“Alaric and I are trying to rebuild our relationship. It’s a pretty new development—I haven’t had a chance to catch you up,” Chander confided.

“We’re thrilled to hear it,” Conley said. “We wish you both the best of luck. Give me the call, and I’ll shred your separation papers.”

“Is that all we have to do to undo it?” Alaric asked.

“Yes, one phone call and Chand gets a new ID Card,” Drystan explained. “Well, not exactly new. I didn’t destroy his old one.”

“Now everyone gets to gloat they knew we’d get back together someday.
