of motion. At the very least, he thought Braxton would ask what had

happened. Keeton didn t know what to think when Braxton just
snorted and rolled his eyes.
Xander isn t hurt.
Honey, that was Logan on the phone. He said we need to meet
him at the hospital.
You aren t going anywhere, Blaise stated firmly. Either of
you.
Keeton rounded on his cousin. Blaise, you don t understand.
Logan said they didn t think Xander was going to make it. We have to
go! He was shouting by the time he had finished. What is wrong
with everyone?
Xander isn t hurt, Braxton repeated. I would know. I d be able
to feel it. Just the same as you would if Logan was hurt. He grabbed
his own cell phone from the coffee table and dialed.
After a short pause, Braxton smiled and spoke into the phone.
Hey, big guy, how s work going? Another brief pause, and he
chuckled softly before speaking again. I m sure that can be arranged.
Hurry home, and I ll have everything ready when you get here. His
eyes went misty, and he smiled tenderly. Love you, too. I ll be
waiting.
Keeton put his hands on his hips and glared first at Braxton, then
Blaise, and for good measure, he glared at Jackson as the brother
walked into the room. What the fuck is going on?
Well, I thought it would be obvious. Blaise smirked. That
wasn t Logan on the phone. If I had to guess, I d say it was Mariah.
I know Logan s voice, and that was definitely him on the phone,
Keeton argued.
Was it his number? Jackson spoke around a mouthful of pasta.
Well, no, but I just assumed that it was the hospital s number or
something.
The voice may have sounded like Logan, but did he really sound
like himself? Braxton asked.
Well, he sounded a little strained, but since I thought Xander was

hurt, I figured that was pretty reasonable. Keeton cocked his head to
the side as he thought. He kept calling me Keeton.
Well, that is your name. Jackson looked confused.
No. I mean, yes that is my name. Logan rarely ever calls me by
my name, though. It s always angel or baby. Keeton closed his eyes
and groaned. I m such an idiot.
You re not. I m sure I would have freaked, too, if Xander called
and told me Logan was hurt. Braxton came over and hugged Keeton.
You just have a really big heart, and sometimes it clouds your
judgment. Why don t you call Logan? His shift is almost over
anyway.
Keeton glanced at the clock above the fireplace, surprised to see it
was already after midnight. It seemed his plan to preoccupy his time
by working on character panels and storyboards for Quest had
worked. He d barely had time to miss or worry about Logan all day.
Nodding, he pulled his phone from his pocket again, hit the speed
dial for Logan s number, held the phone to his ear, and waited. He
didn t even realize he d been holding his breath until it all came out in
a great whoosh when Logan answered on the third ring.
Baby? Are you okay? What s wrong? Logan fired off
immediately.
I m fine, Keeton hurried to reassure his mate. Everything is
okay. I got a phone call a few minutes ago that kind of shook me up.
What phone call? Who called? What happened, angel?
Keeton smiled to himself. Now that he wasn t panicking because
he thought Xander had been hurt, the differences between Logan, and
Mariah pretending to be Logan, were exceedingly obvious. Don t
worry, love. I ll tell you all about it when you get home. Which is
soon, right? I miss you.
He heard Logan sigh over the phone. I m leaving now. I ll be
home as quickly as I can get there. Do not leave the house, and do not
let Blaise out of your sight. Understood?
Yes, sir, Keeton whispered.

Logan groaned. Oh, you are trouble. I think maybe someone
needs a good spanking when I get home.
Keeton felt his cock twitch at the thought of Logan spanking his
ass. He bit back a moan and quickly turned his back to the other men
in the room. Hurry.
