hurt.”
    “Cub, I’ll fuck you all night long in front of the Queen if it will make you happy.”
    “Um, you said she’s like your mom, so no thanks.” Tyler chuckled.
    “I don’t care. I’ll deal with my discomfort if it’s what you need. I’m so sorry.”
    “So did we deal with all your worries?” I asked gently, hoping my mate felt better. Because damn, I needed him. I needed them both.

    “You both could kick my old Alpha’s ass with one hand tied behind your back, so I’m not scared of that anymore,” I admitted, finally relaxing a bit. Seeing that I wasn’t the only one that had fears about our mating helped penetrate the haze of freaking out I’d been hiding in. “But as for the rest, I guess time will only tell.”
    “So you’re not leaving?” Asterio asked with so much hope I’d have to be evil to have denied him.
    “No I’m—” I didn’t get to finish because he mashed his mouth down to mine in a kiss that was filled with so much passion my toes curled.
    “Thank you, thank you, thank you,” he said in between peppering my face with kisses as I gasped for air. How could he talk after a kiss like that? I assumed that he just had bigger lungs, otherwise I might take offense. I held his face still and stared into his eyes, searching them for one answer.
    “You really do care if I left or not, don’t you?”
    “Yes!” he exclaimed with wide eyes.
    I took a risk and trusted my mates were telling me the truth. I’d never had people in my life who would do that. But who better to take a chance on? “Then I’m going to grab a bag for a few days’ worth of clothes while we discuss where we want to live, and let’s go see if there’s any food left from the party. I haven’t seen Planet Earth in years. I really liked it and want to see it again.”
    “Sounds like one of the best ideas all day,” Mav agreed with a smile. I raised an eyebrow at him. One of them? He shrugged and gave me a wink. “You did come up with the idea to have sex a few times today. Can’t rule that out.” I think he realized his mistake the moment it was past his lips. “Cub, I’m sorry.”
    “No, it’s okay.” I gave him the best grin I could muster. “I need to get past it. I know it wasn’t really you. Let’s just go relax and answer any questions our mate has about our world while we watch TV and have some snacks.”
    “Thank you, cub.” Mav leaned over and brushed my lips with his as Asterio still had me pinned down. Now my mind was just in the gutter. While I always pushed for sex, sex I could do, I didn’t want to be that person with my mates. I wanted them to see there was more to me, even if I didn’t have a clue what was there.
    Asterio let me up, and I closed up one of the bags with a few days of clothes and some of my toys. I really hadn’t planned it that way. But who the hell was I to mess with a fortunate turn of events? Well, fortunate if they wanted to play with the toys… On me.
    On the way out, Ayden stopped me and apologized. I not only forgave him but said I was sorry as well. I jumped down his throat earlier instead of hearing him out. He gave me a hug and said if I needed to talk about anything, he’d be there for me.
    “Let me get a few things settled and then maybe soon I’ll come to you for help.” I took a deep breath and met my mates’ confused faces. “I’ll explain on the drive back.”
    “They want you to be happy, Tyler. I can hear it in their heads as if they were screaming it to me,” Ayden whispered so no one else could hear. “These are good men. Trust them.”
    “I’m trying.”
    “That’s all any of us can do.” I hugged him again and we left.
    I was proud of how Asterio hopped right into the truck with no issues. But then I realized he rode in a vehicle to get to Darcy and Ayden’s house after all. I guess he liked it. It made me smile. I wanted him to like our world. I wanted him to be happy.
    “So, there are
