ZEUS WOKE at the first light of day, adjusting his muscular body, stiff from the too-small couch he’d slept on. He saw a lump on the floor in front of him and realized Toren had come out at some point in the night and curled up on the floor in a blanket next to where he slept. Zeus was surprised he hadn’t woken. He reached his arm out and brushed his fingers across Toren’s cheek. Toren was too thin. Thinner than a guy his age should be. Zeus needed to go talk to the doc today.

Toren started to move a little, waking up. His eyes slowly opened, and he looked into Zeus’s.

“Hi,” Zeus said, still caressing Toren’s cheek.

“Hi,” Toren said, his voice so soft and shy it made Zeus shudder. He loved that voice.

“You came out to be by me,” Zeus said, more of a statement than a question.

Toren tried to turn his face away, but Zeus wouldn’t let him.

“It’s okay. I want to be by you too.” The words had the exact effect he was hoping for. Toren’s eyes filled with a longing so blatant Zeus had to stop himself from pulling him up onto the couch and taking his mouth. “I think it would be better for us if I stayed here, until we get this all figured out.”

“Okay.” Toren’s quick response made Zeus laugh and caused Toren to look away.

“Don’t be embarrassed, I feel it too, remember?” The words made Toren look back at Zeus. “We can go down to the bakery for breakfast, and I can introduce you to the boys. You’ve met Max, but Seth will be down there too. I have some things I need to do today. I need you to stay around the bakery or apartment until I get back, okay?”

Toren seemed to deflate inside himself. “You still don’t trust me.”

“Come up here,” Zeus said, sitting up, pulling Toren off the floor to sit next to him. “Me asking you to stay around here is not because I don’t trust you, it’s that I find that I can’t stop worrying about you. I need to know where you are and that you’re safe or I won’t be able to focus on what I have to do today. I think I have a plan that will keep you and the kids safe, but I need to go talk to Christian.”

Zeus saw Toren’s hope grow at his words. He felt his wolf’s contented demand. Ours…. Zeus gently squeezed Toren in a side hug, leaning down to kiss the top of his head.

“I’m sorry,” Toren said, regret clear in his voice. “I’m sorry that I put the kids in danger.”

“Stop,” Zeus gently demanded. “You did not put them in danger. You chose to save them. If he hadn’t sent you, he would have found someone else. Someone who wouldn’t have decided not to contact him when they found the kids.”

Toren seemed to relax. Zeus needed to get them out of there before he kissed Toren for real.
