bit?” Finn asked. “I have some warrior business to tend to.” He didn’t want to leave Logan’s side for a minute but work called, and he had to do whatever was necessary to keep his mate safe. Rhett mingling with Dark Warriors was bad news for all of them. No telling what the Dark Warriors’ next move would be.

“Yes, but will you be gone long?” Logan walked up to him and held Finn’s face between his warm hands. On instinct, Finn nuzzled into the sweet contact.

Finn wrapped his fingers around Logan’s wrists and stared up into his eyes. “I’ll try not to be. But we have to find Rhett and these new buddies he’s been hanging out with. If he’s involved with Dark Warriors, it could mean trouble for everyone.”

Logan nodded his head. He cast his eyes downward but not before Finn saw the tears pooling in his eyes. Finn wanted to erase that sadness from Logan’s face, hell his whole body. But this was their way of life now. Finn was a warrior, and there would always be some sort of danger lurking around every corner. Logan would have to get used to it. It wasn’t fair, but Finn couldn’t change it.

He reached up and brushed his lips against Logan’s. The warm, soft flesh gave way under his demanding tongue, and Logan fell

forward into the kiss. Logan’s mouth was like a warm, moist cavern of never-ending ecstasy that Finn would never tire of.

“Hey, I’m still in here you know.”

Finn’s eyes blinked open at the sound of Leo’s voice. Logan began to giggle. The love he felt for Logan made him lose focus of everything and everyone. Any other time that would be a good thing, but not now. He had to keep his wits about him in order to keep Logan and Leo safe.

“Sorry, Leo.” Finn gave one last quick peck to Logan’s lips then headed for the door. Before he stepped out into the hallway, he turned to look at the pair. “Whatever you do, don’t leave the house. I have a couple of warriors picking up some of your belongings and bringing them here. Once this problem is resolved, I promise we’ll get the rest of your stuff.”

“Well this could get awkward.” Leo sighed. Finn stared at the man, trying to contemplate what he was talking about. “I’m just saying I can’t be held responsible for what your friends find in my drawers.” Leo held his hands up, palms facing Finn.

It took a minute for Finn to understand what Leo was trying to say to him, then the light clicked on in his brain. “Oh.” Finn’s mouth rounded on the word. He understood now what Leo was trying to say.

“I think your secrets will be safe. Warriors can be very discreet.” Or he hoped his friends would be.

“I’m not worried about being embarrassed. A guy has to have his vices.” Leo gave a half shrug. “I’m more worried about freaking out your friends.”

“Leo, you and your sex toys.” Logan rolled his eyes.

“Hey, they’re well hidden but if they go snooping too hard, it’s not my fault if they find a dildo or two lying around.”

Finn couldn’t help but wonder how many the man had. He coughed to clear his throat. “Leo, some of the warriors living here are as old as dirt. I think a sex toy won’t shock them in the least.” Once again he just prayed he spoke the truth. Yes, some of the warriors

were hundreds of years old, but they still acted like children every chance they got. And he wouldn’t be surprised if they did find them and that Leo got a couple of date offers because of it. He chuckled to himself as he headed for the door. “Like I said, stay in the house.”

Finn mouthed the words I love you to Logan, and his mate responded in kind. He shut the door and headed down the stairs to the war room. With Dark Warriors still in the area, they had to take precautions for everyone’s safety. They just got Astrid back from his sadistic father and grandmother, and before that they killed Malcolm.

What else could be coming for them?

As he rounded the corner, he heard voices outside the room. Not bothering to knock, Finn stepped inside.

“It’s like we’re being invaded by Dark Warriors,” the Warriors of the Light leader, Ben, said.

“Maybe it’s the
