Hondo shout a glower Kane’s way before following behind his mate.
“That was so mean.” Snooke chuckled.
“I never claimed to play fair.” Kane pulled Snooke’s head closer, inhaling the demons scent as his cock hardened. He knew Snooke’s neck was an ultrasensitive area and planned on exploiting it.
“Which apartment is Rainerio in?” Dillon stood and walked to the door. “Because I’m not sitting here watching you two get horny as hell with each other.”
Kane laughed. “Fifth floor.”
“Later.” Dillon closed the door behind him.
“He’s…strange.” Kane smiled.
“But a good friend.” Snooke burrowed his head into Kane’s neck. “More than I’ve been.”
“You made a bad judgment call. It happens. The important thing is that you learn from it.”
“I have.” Snooke rubbed his hand back and forth over Kane’s chest. If he were a shifter, he’d purr at the intimate feeling. “I was always taught to stand by my family, no matter if I agreed or not. But since I met you, my friends, I can’t stand by and blindly watch him try to destroy the warriors.”
“Do you know what the crystal can do?”
“I don’t want to know. The less I know, the better.”
Kane agreed with his mate. But the demon needed to know the ramifications of his uncle possessing something so powerful. “It is the key to the underworld, where we keep the prisoners. Whoever holds the key and knows how to use it can free whomever they chose.”
Snooke sat up, looking terrified. “He hasn’t figured out how to use it. We need to get it back.”
Kane laid his hand on Snooke’s head, bringing his mate back down to his chest. “Do you know where we can find him?”
“He has a place he likes to go in the human realm. I can show you.” Snooke tried to get off of Kane’s lap, but he had other plans. He spun Snooke around, making his mate straddle his lap.
“In a moment.” Kane unclasped Snooke’s slacks and freed his beautiful cock. He then unsnapped his jeans and pulled his erection free.
“They look good together.” Snooke moaned.
“That they do.” Kane wrapped his hands around their cocks, stroking them slowly as Snooke laid his hands on Kane’s chest.
“Kane,” Snooke panted. “I love you.”
Kane’s nostrils flared. His control tested as Snooke licked his fingers and then traced them over the heads of their cocks. His hand applied pressure as Snooke’s hand joined his.
“Make me come, Kane,” Snooke pleaded.
“I got you, shorty.” Kane spat in his hand and then grabbed their cocks again, pumping his hand faster as Snooke’s breath grew ragged.
“I’m there,” Snooke shouted, his seed warming Kane’s hand. The smell of his mate’s spunk had Kane quickly following. Their seed combined as Kane slouched back, sated and hungry.
Snooke slid from Kane’s lap and walked to the bathroom. He came back a few minutes later with his slacks fastened and holding a wet washcloth. Kane watched silently as Snooke cleaned his softened shaft and then his hand, walking back to the bathroom to return the cloth.
“Come here, shorty.” Kane held his arms out. Snooke placed his knees on either side of Kane’s hips as Kane pulled his mate down for a deep kiss filled with passion. “I love you, too.”
Snooke looked surprised. Kane figured after what had happened, he would too if he were Snooke. “I fell in love with you before I suspected anything.”
“When?” Snooke asked hesitantly.
“The first time I saw you.” Damn, Snooke sure blushed a nice shade of red. Kane loved Snooke’s eye color the most. They were a deep blue, as blue as the sea at night. His lopsided smile was endearing, and he always looked like he was ready to pose for GQ magazine.
“You’re staring at me.” Snooke smiled shyly.
“I can’t help it. You’re handsome as fuck.” Kane stood, lifting Snooke with him, then set his mate on his feet. “Let’s go see Panahasi.”
Snooke paled. “Is he angry with me?” His eyes widened as Snooke stared at the door like it was the enemy.
“I guess we’ll find out.”

Snooke was not looking forward to seeing the leader of the warriors. How do you face the leader whose warriors you almost crossed? Snooke felt like he was walking to his doom as Kane walked him into a shadow and emerged outside the leader’s door.
Snooke was always in awe when he saw Panahasi. The warrior was the largest of them all, the most fierce-looking, with a darkness about him that warned Snooke to watch himself.
