As he could sense through his essence, Adam was in the living room, deep in conversation with Levi.
He hung back in the doorway of between the kitchen and living room. Adam had sheltered his brother under his arm and was quietly whispering to Levi words that failed to reach Michael’s ears. That was all right. He wanted to know everything about his mate, down to the smallest detail, but he respected the idea that some parts were not for him. His kin, back from their missions on Earth, taught him that.
As though he heard the thoughts in Michael’s mind, his human lifted his head and smiled over top of his brother’s blond head. Michael smiled back in automatic response, naturally drawn in. Those green eyes glittered and Michael found himself rooted to the spot, as securely as any tree.
