bring himself to agree. She needs to call her son.
Nicholas raised his eyebrows. She has a son? Candice! he roared.
What? Candice s pale face reflected terror as she appeared and took in the leader s
anger.
Where is your son? And why didn t you tell me you had one?

Shit. Dennis hadn t picked up the vibes before and he only had himself to blame.
Candice and Nicholas were together. He didn t know if they were just dating or mates, but
Nicholas obviously felt he deserved to know about a child.
Candice glared at Dennis. Why did you tell him? The betrayal in her eyes cut him to
the quick.
I thought he knew. When I called Ethan, he said he hadn t heard from you for a while.
Besides, Nicholas was bound to learn about him eventually if you stayed here& and speaking
of calls, I need to call my boss as soon as I find my mate.
Candice paled and only the doorframe kept her up. They said they d kill him if I didn t
cooperate, but I couldn t take the pain anymore. Sobbing, she slid to the floor as gusts of the
heart-wrenching sounds ripped from her chest and filled the air.
Dennis pulled himself off the bed and went to kneel by his sister. He wrapped her in his
arms and held her like he used to when they were little and a scraped knee meant an hour of
cuddling by big brother. Shhh, we ll find him. We found you. I ll take you back home with
me and find you a safe place to be&
Eventually, the sobs tapered off and the sniffles began.
Here. A box of tissues appeared over his shoulder.
Thanks. He took the box and handed it over to his sister.
She wiped her face and gave Dennis a grateful smile before scooting over and giving
herself more space. I m glad you found me. I was going to call you when I felt less insane.
Dennis brushed back her hair from her face. But then I d never hear from you.
Nicholas laughed behind them.
Is Nicholas your mate?
Candice shook her head. We re just friends. He likes guys, too.
Ahh. That explained the vibe he d been getting from Nicholas. He d ignored it
because he had a mate, but if he d been single, a bounce on the bed wouldn t have been out
of the question.
As he was about to suggest they get off the floor, they heard a commotion in the house.
Get it! someone shouted.
The fucker bit me! another one yelled.

Dennis wasn t the least bit surprised to see a pretty fox rush into the room and leap for
him.
Laughing, he caught the fluffy animal. There you are. I was worried sick about you.
The small animal stood on his hind legs and licked Dennis cheek.
I take it this is your mate? Or do you always make out with woodland creatures?
Nicholas asked.
Everyone, this is KC my mate. KC, this is my sister, Candice, and the leader of this
group, Nicholas.
KC shifted, filling Dennis lap with a sexy, beautiful, naked shifter.
Wow. Nicholas cleared his throat. I take it back. Beautiful does describe him
perfectly.
The fox shifter completely ignored Nicholas. Instead he plunged his fingers into Dennis
hair and kissed every thought out of his mind.
A giggle and a loud throat clearing broke into his haze of passion. Carefully he pulled
his lover a fraction away, just far enough that their mouths no longer touched. KC gave a soft
sound of disagreement.
We ll leave you two alone to reunite while Candice figures out if she wants to go back
to town with you and I concentrate on not coming in my jeans. Nicholas helped Candice to
her feet. Dennis heard him mutter as they left, Fuck he s hot.
The door slammed behind them and Dennis laughed against KC s lips.
No laughing and more kissing. You scared me, KC growled.
Sorry, love. I guess my sister was so worried about me, she didn t check the plane for
other survivors.
I thought my heart was going to stop beating when I came back and found you gone. I
passed out for a little bit. When I woke up, I saw two coyote shifters wandering about and
followed them here, hoping they d know about
I m sorry. Dennis didn t know what else to say. He hadn t been responsible but he
still didn t like the pain in his lover s eyes.
Claim me again and make me yours. KC s eyes begged for the attention.
No.
What?

You are going to claim me. If we were properly bonded, you would ve known the
second I woke up.
Dennis had to smile. Sometimes the simplest things did work better.
You re gonna have to stand so I can get up. I m still feeling a little shaky.
Oh, sorry. KC immediately stood up but his eyes still devoured Dennis as if he
couldn t quite believe they were together again.
You know I d never leave you willingly, right?
KC nodded. I was more worried that you woke up disorientated and didn t know
where you were or were kidnapped by bears or something.
Know of a bear kidnapping cartel, do you?
Oh, shut up. KC pouted.
Dennis laughed. I m sorry to poke fun, love. As soon as I woke up, I told them we had
to go back and find you. I had no idea they d already sent people back to the plane.
KC shrugged. I m not sure if they were sent or just looking for stuff to steal. I heard
them saying something about trying to impress the boss. I m guessing they were hoping
there was stuff to haul back and get glory points over. Instead, all they got was a dead pilot
and a stalking fox.
The image of a bright red animal stealthily following the young shifters told Dennis
more than anything that the pack members were a little too secure in the knowledge they
were alone in the woods. He d mention it to Nicholas before he left. It was the least he could
do since the man was taking care of Candice.
Strip!
Dennis raised an eyebrow at his suddenly bossy lover. Strip?
You know remove clothing, get naked. It makes the entire horizontal hula much
more interesting.
It s even more fun when it s a project for two.
True.
Before he could say anything more, his helpful mate had completely stripped Dennis of
his clothes. You re a frighteningly good at that. He didn t want to know how his mate had
got that much practice. Anyone with KC s looks probably had guys lining up around the
planet for a chance at that ass.

KC didn t say anything. He just smiled and opened the side table. Empty.
