Hagen, Lynn - Hawk's Pretty Baby [Brac Pack 2] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic ManLove) by Lynn Hagen Page A

wanted Hawk, but he didn’t see him. Tears ran down his face as he smashed his eyes closed.
    “Hey, kid, are you okay?” Johnny opened his eyes and saw a man with skulls sticking out of his eyebrows, and he cried harder. Where was Hawk? Arms circled around him, making Johnny jump. He spun around to see his mate lifting him in his arms. Hawk took him out of that awful store. He crushed his arms around Hawk’s neck, not caring who saw him crying or hugging his mate.
    “Shh, Daddy’s got you. Stop crying.” Hawk wiped his tears and kissed his eyes. Johnny started to calm down. He had the hiccups now. Hawk rubbed his back, rocking him in his arms. They were sitting on a bench outside the store that scared him.
    “You’re okay now. Stop crying, pretty baby.” Hawk just held him, laying his cheek on Johnny’s head.
    Cecil came running out of the store in a panic. He spotted Johnny and ran to him. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t know the store was going to scare you. I was looking everywhere for you when you yanked your hand from mine. Please don’t ever run away from me again. You scared ten years off of me.” He ran his hand over Johnny’s hair.
    Johnny buried his face in Hawk’s chest, wanting the feeling of being safe, inhaling his mate’s scent to calm himself down. He was still hiccupping though.
    “You okay now?” Hawk brushed his hand over Johnny’s hair and kissed his forehead. Johnny nodded and slipped off his lap.
    He grabbed Cecil’s hand again and started walking, feeling totally embarrassed for crying like a baby. Cecil squeezed his hand. “It’s okay. I still get scared sometimes, too. Don’t tell anyone, but I can’t sleep in the dark.”
    Johnny smiled, feeling better. They went to a craft store next, and Johnny’s jaw dropped as he slowly spun in a circle. They had everything sparkly he could ever want. They even had sparkly nail polish.
    Following Cecil’s lead, Johnny picked up a small basket by the door, and browsed around. After dropping pink toenail polish and sparkly wristbands into his basket, Johnny picked out a pink wallet for Hawk and one for Maverick. He went to the register, not shouting this time, and paid for his items.
    Johnny ran the wallet to his mate, excited to give it to him.
    “Thank you, baby. It’s…pretty.”
    “I bought you one, too, stud. Johnny picked it out.” Cecil handed Maverick a pink wallet with a unicorn on it.
    Hungry grumbles led them to the food court and Chinese food. They sat and talked while eating, Johnny babbling on about the damn pink wallets.
    Whispering that he had to tinkle, Johnny grabbed Cecil’s hand after Hawk and Maverick insisted the two go together, dragging the other mate along with him.

Chapter Nine

    “So, what are you going to put in your wallet?” Hawk snickered. He about fell over when his mate handed him that pink thing. There was no way he would refuse Johnny, but pink? What the hell was up with that color?
    “Fuck you, Hawk. Same as you’re gonna put in yours.”
    “Well, at least mine doesn’t have a unicorn on it.” Hawk fell over laughing, tears running down his cheeks.
    “Again. Fuck you.” Maverick started chuckling. Shit was too bizarre.
    “Excuse me, are these seats taken?”
    The men looked up to see two buxom blondes standing at the edge of the table with their food trays. They had red lipstick on, and their boobs half hung out of their shirts. Their jeans were skintight, and one of them even had low rider jeans on to show off a racy red thong.
    “Sorry, ladies. I’m afraid they are.” Hawk gently turned them down. Just because he wasn’t interested in the opposite sex, he wasn’t a prick.
    “That’s too bad. You guys wouldn’t be interested in a little playtime with us and your ladies would you?” The one with the red thong set her tray down and was smashing her boobs in Hawk’s face. He heard a gasp and pushed the female away. Johnny stood there, looking devastated. He took off across the food
