RYLAND

We’ve only been home about half an hour when Anders’s truck pulls around the back of the house. I feel the rush of excitement I always feel when I haven’t seen Miller for a few hours. It’s more intense now because he’ll have Mac with him. I wonder what kind of mood he’ll be in. He always gets so riled up anytime he has to spend time with her. He becomes wonderfully bratty, and I have to take him to task in such decadent ways. My body is practically humming with anticipation.

A chuckle has me turning my attention from the door to my brother. “Settle down. They will be here momentarily.”

I flip him off, and we fall into silence, only the sound of Lathan’s fingers on his keyboard breaking the quiet.

“I set up Anders’s things in the kitchen. Percy sent trackers for everyone with instructions that we can’t avoid it anymore.” Dayton appears from the direction of the kitchen and takes a seat on the couch next to my brother.

“Isn’t it going to look a little suspicious if we’re all wearing bandages?” Lathan mutters absently.

“No, we can say we all got new tattoos. It would be good to put one over the scar to hide it anyway. I’ll take care of it when the incision heals up,” Dayton offers as Anders opens the back door and steps inside, followed by my boyfriend and Mac. They look tense, and I can tell by the set of Miller’s jaw that something is wrong. This isn’t a fight between Mac and Miller, though, because Anders looks upset as well. He’s usually so even-keeled that it takes a lot to rile him up.

“What’s wrong?” I ask, looking between them as Miller drops his backpack on the coffee table. It’s one he keeps here at our place. He said he doesn’t feel comfortable leaving his gun at Serenity House for anyone to discover. I wonder if Mac has one hidden there.

“We poked around downstairs. The storeroom does lead into the tunnels. We followed it and discovered some of the cells are now occupied,” Anders tells us before heading to the kitchen and returning with some beers. He holds one out to Mac, who shakes her head.

“And we worked out how they got them down there,” she adds as Miller also shakes his head for the proffered beer. Anders puts the two spare ones on the coffee table.

“Yeah, we know,” Max tells them, grabbing Mac as she passes him and pulling her onto his lap. She struggles for a moment, but with a whispered word from him, she relaxes back into his body. I know they are both struggling with his involvement with Stella. They should really talk about it, but they are dancing around their feelings.

I have to admit, I was surprised by Lathan’s balls when he brought up the subject this afternoon. He’s usually not so open with how he feels, but he wasn’t wrong. We have all reacted to Mac, and throwing our cards on the table and clearing the air between us was definitely needed.
