“But you never asked.” Reeves touches a finger to my lips,
“Later.” I lick his finger and the look he gives me says I’m in for it as soon as were alone. I seriously can’t wait.

Donovan and I are repacking his box when the front door slams open.
“Reeves Tollie!” Donovan and I jump to our feet and I push him behind me. Reeves’s dad steps around the corner and looks down his nose at me. His chest is heaving and his nostrils are flaring. He looks so angry I’m afraid he might hit me. Reeves is somewhere in the house… Donovan and I are on our own for the moment. Donovan slides between us and holds a knife up. Where in the hell does he keep getting them?
“You’re not going to hurt my mom, one more step and I’ll end you.” Here we go again; he’s so protective. Reeves’s dad looks down at Donavan with admiration. I know that Reeves and his dad aren’t close but he also knows how to handle that side of Reeves.
“Donovan I would never hurt your momma. She’s my son's future wife and you need her in your life.” Donavan doesn’t lower his blade but nods slowly. I gently touch his shoulder and he relaxes only a touch.
“Donavan, deep breaths, he just wants to talk to your daddy. Step back with me.” Donavan’s eyes never leave Reeves’s dad but he does step back with me as Reeves enters the room.
“Explain Reeves!” Donovan and I listen as Reeves explains the treatment of his son while he was away. Reeves’s dad only get angrier as the conversation continues. Finally he spins around and takes a knee in front of Donavan on the floor. He looks Donovan in the eye.
“I give my word, I had no idea. They will all be punished and if you ever see my wife, your Aunt Talia or Agatha again… I as ambassador Tollie give you permission to kill on sight without fear of punishment.” Can he do that? I look at Reeves who nods once at Donovan and then at me with that cool blank stare. Holy shit, I guess he can. I need to keep Donovan away from them all, he doesn’t need that on his conscience. Donovan nods and Reeves’s dad gets to his feet and looks at Reeves.
“Take your family, go get married, and return to PMZ-2. If you or your family ever need anything don’t hesitate to ask, you will receive all and more.” With that he leaves the house without slamming the door. Donovan looks up at me.
“Can we leave now momma?” He’s back to being my sweet little man. I look up at Reeves,
“Can we? I don’t know how much more I can take and I’m getting hungry.” He nods,
“Lamier will be here soon to get you. He’ll take you back to his place and once all is done I’ll join you.” My emotions must be all over my face because Donovan pats my hands,
“It’s ok momma Lamier is awesome, we will be safe with him.” Ok, that does help a bit. Reeves pulls me flush against him.
“Lamier Langoustine has been my most trusted friend since we could barely walk. He is honest and true and a tad too flirtatious but he won’t cross the line. He is happily married with 2 children. I think you’ll like his wife, she is from here but not raised like the rest. Her name is Jia. I’ll come for you as soon as all this is packed up.” Reeves takes the knife from me and hands it back to Donovan who happily takes it. Before I can object Reeves pinches my nipple and I gasp.
“He’s better with it than you, can’t be too careful.” No real argument there, he is pretty damn good with it. I...
