Sidney had no clue what to say, so he got up and started opening drawers and cabinets, the fridge and freezer was next. He had no clue what he was looking for, but he’d know when he’d found it.
Zeus stood, taking his bowl to the sink and rinsing it out, placing it in the dishwasher. Sidney thought his neck would snap as he tilted his head back to look up at the Alpha. He thought he was tall at six one, but the man had him beat hands down. And good lord, could the guy be any more massive?
Sidney had an urge to grab a chair and pull it up to the guy and pat him on his bald head. That wouldn’t be one of the sanest things to do, Sidney thought.
Feeling the need to get away before he did something stupid, Sidney walked across the room, ready to get back to Torem, when the Alpha stopped him. “Did you forget something?”
Sidney looked at him and wondered what he could have forgotten. The Alpha chucked a thumb over his shoulder. “All the drawers and cabinets, the fridge and freezer are still hanging open. Maybe it would be a good idea to close them all before you left.”
Sidney looked around the massive guy to see he was right. He crossed the room and closed everything up and then went back to Torem’s bedroom.
Counting bedroom doors on his way back to Torem’s room—that was the only way he remembered—Sidney pushed open the sixth door on the right side of the hall.
The room was pitch black. Sidney knew this couldn’t be right. It was light from the early morning in Torem’s room when he had left, now there was none? Sidney had to have the wrong room.
Sidney gulped when he heard a hiss. He spun around to run from the room but slammed into the door, accidently shutting it closed instead.
A small light glowed, and Sidney spun around to see someone had turned a lamp on. That’s when he saw a tall man with dark hair roll over on top of a shorter one, a protective move. The largest of the three swung out of bed with agility. He had black hair to his shoulders and very green eyes that narrowed on him.
Sidney saw that the man was naked seconds before the guy shifted into a wolf, advancing menacingly toward him.
Oh shit, this was not Torem’s bedroom. “I’m Sidney, Torem’s mate. I’m in the wrong room,” he threw out, hoping that saved his ass. He wasn’t sure it would work though. The way everyone acted about Torem mating, that may have been the wrong thing to say. Maybe Sidney should have introduced himself as Torem’s brother’s best friend.
The wolf shifted back to his human form, and Sidney’s balls unclenched. The man standing in front of him didn’t look like he played around and Sidney wasn’t into having his ass handed to him.
The guy grabbed a pillow from the bed and covered it over his groin. “His bedroom is the next on down on the right,” he growled.
Sidney nodded absently, his eyes darting over to the man with long black hair that still lay on the bed, looking at him with narrowed black eyes. That must be the vampire, or it might be the one tucked under him.
Sidney reached behind him and turned the handle, quickly scrambling from the room. Once he cleared the door, he leaned against the hallway wall with his hand over his erratically beating heart.
“That was too damn close. I need a Red Bull.” Sidney panted as he walked one more door down and then turned around, opening Chey’s door, peeking in on him.
Sidney found his best friend sleeping like the dead. Closing the door quietly, he crept back across the hall.
This time, Sidney opened the door and popped his head in. When he saw Torem fast asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the bedroom, closing the door behind him.
Sidney stopped when he got to the end of the bed and watched his mate sleep. His fingers ran over the smooth wood of the footboard, as he finally got a good look at his handsome mate. That five o’clock shadow was a big turn-on, and Sidney wondered how it would feel scraping across his skin.
Just the thought of Torem touching him had Sidney’s cock jerking.
Sidney pushed his shirt aside and skimmed his fingers across his erect nipple. Oh hell, he was standing here touching himself while he watched his mate sleep. How perverted was that?
His other hand snaked down and unsnapped his jeans as he slid the zipper down. Sidney pushed his jeans down his legs, toed his shoes off, and kicked the denim the rest of the way off. He pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it aside. Okay, now he was really a pervert because he was standing there naked and watching his mate sleep.
He eased his way onto the bed and crawled up to where Torem lay. Sidney pulled the covers aside and then pulled them over his body as he snuggled close to Torem’s warm skin. Sidney knew Torem was tired but couldn’t help it. He was hornier than hell and wanted his mate.
