Tiara giggled and reached for the skirt before Zachary talked her into laying out of work tonight.
We will see Craven alone tonight, Nighthawk told her.
Tiara jumped and placed a hand over her heart. Dont scare me like that.
Like what? Zachary asked in confusion.
Not you Nighthawk, Tiara said with a soft smile but quickly started wrapping the skirt around her. It was bad enough she hadn't even started on the top half.
Who, that illusive, invisible Indian who has no sociability skills or personality and likes to walk into peoples bedrooms while theyre having a private moment? Zachary demanded as the temperature in the room rose by several degrees.
Tiara repressed the urge to giggle again as she lied, Hes not like that and you know it.
I dont know it, Zachary growled. For all I know, hes watching us right now and listening to every word Im saying about him. All this watching you from some invisible vantage point is more than a little creepy.
Nighthawk suddenly appeared not an inch away from Zachary making the blonde man jump back in surprise. Tiara didnt bother to hide it this time and started laughing softly as she tied on her top.
You had that one coming, Tiara managed after calming down a little bit.
Zachary grabbed his jacket and slid it over his shoulders. Yeah, yeah so where are we going tonight Tonto?
We are not going, Nighthawk said in an emotionless voice. Tiara and I are going to meet Craven alone.
Why alone? Tiara asked as she slid on her shoes.
He wishes to teach you something new, Nighthawk answered and grasped Tiaras arm.
Tiaras eyes widened and all that was left of her was the echoing sound of a gasp as she disappeared.
As soon as they vanished, Zachary stormed out of the bedroom and headed toward the front door not so calmly slamming it behind him.
Lets go, Zachary thundered seeing Guy and Jason waiting.
What about Tiara? Guy asked looking back toward the cabin.
Shes gone, Jason answered and followed Zachary to the car.
Zachary glared at him, That damn invisible, stalking, voyeur Indian took her for some special training with Craven and didnt tell me where they were going. So I need you to turn that damn ring on and find out where the hell she is.
Jason looked over at Guy, Im sitting in the back with you.
Chapter 4
Mrs. Tully walked through the front door of Moon Dance and immediately approached Envy, who was sitting in a booth near the bar. She frowned noting Trevor and Devon standing at different ends of that same bar.
Now, she said getting straight down to business, how about telling me what happened?
Im fine, Envy insisted waving her hand dismissively, I think I just got too excited or something.
I see, Mrs. Tully raised an eyebrow. I take it you faint a lot then?
Envy frowned at her deciding not to even answer. The truth was shed never fainted before.
Mrs. Tully pointed to the side door, Upstairs now.
Trevor rushed forward to open the door for them. He even kept it open, letting Devon go in before him then growled when Devon tried to close it behind him. Jerking the door out of Devons grip he passed him on the stairs with a smirk and again opened the door for Envy when she reached her room.
He looked around the bedroom then back at Devon, You wanted to grow up to be a teenager didnt you.
Devons lips hinted at a smile as they faced off. He and Envy had made love only a couple hours ago right here in this room and their scent was still strong strong enough for Trevor to get the message.
Chad rolled his eyes at the two knuckleheads and focused his attention on Envy.
Tell me how you were feeling just before you fainted dear, Mrs. Tully asked once she had Envy sitting on her bed.
Envy sighed, I just felt a little lightheaded it was a fuzzy feeling but nothing too serious.
Mrs. Tully frowned, Ill be the judge of that. She immediately turned to the men clustered just inside the door. Out out, out, out.
Can Chad stay? Envy asked quietly.
Mrs. Tully looked at the young man in question before nodding her head, The brother can stay the rest of you leave.
Devon and Trevor silently grumbled to themselves as Mrs. Tully ushered them out and soundly closed the door behind them.
What in the hell have you been doing to her? Trevor demanded in a low hiss. Shes never passed out like that since Ive known her.
Devon glared at him, If I knew why she passed out, I wouldnt have agreed with your decision to call Mrs. Tully.
You need to start taking better care of her, Trevor growled. Shes human and I bet youve been treating her like a shifter.
Devon did indeed feel a bit guilty for Envy not getting enough sleep recently but hed thought hed fixed that over the last week.
You havent been here, Devon stated. Ive been with her everyday so I think I know better than you do about her wellbeing.
I have a job to do, Trevor rumbled, and it involves keeping the streets safe for people like Envy to walk down without worry.
Sure, Devon drawled, whatever you say government man.
The door to the bedroom flew open revealing a miffed Mrs. Tully who gave them the glare only a mother or grandmother could muster.
If you two dont shut up, Ill send you downstairs and make you wait for my diagnosis, She threatened before slamming the door closed again.
Okay, Trevor said in a weak voice while backing away from the door.
Devon looked at Trevor, You think we overdid it?
I think we should shut up, Trevor whispered.
Devon couldnt help but nod his head in agreement.
Inside the bedroom, Envy remained patient while Mrs. Tully looked her over with a practiced eye. She frowned however when Mrs. Tully didnt do much more than press a hand to her forehead.
Mrs. Tully finally sat down on the bed next to the red head and debated on how to approach the subject. She had a pretty good idea of what was wrong with Envy but wasnt sure if she should say anything with Chad in the room.
Seeing the worried expression on her face, Envys eyes filled with concern. Is something wrong with me?
I wouldnt say something is wrong, Mrs. Tully began, but Im not sure if this is the proper environment to tell you my suspicions.
Envy smiled, Whatever it is, you can say it in front of Chad.
Mrs. Tully sighed, she loved Trevor like her own grandson and knew he had claimed Envy as his mate before the woman decided to accept Devons suit. It was now a question of which man was responsible for Envy fainting.
Are you sure you want your brother to stay? she asked again.
Chad leaned back in the chair he was sitting in and crossed his arms over his chest, I want to know Mrs. Tully. At this point, I wouldnt leave even if you tried to make me. Shes my little sister.
Fine, just remember there are two men right outside the door that will hear you if you raise your voices. She gave the stern warning before pointing at Chad. I dont want to hear a peep out of you, understand?
