Excerpt:
Tennant’s POV
“How are you not jealous?” he finally asks. “That I’m with Hollis. And Roman is with Ignacio. I…I don’t understand?”
“What is there to be jealous of? I am Hollis’s, and he is allowed to do what he wants. He owns me, not the other way around. Similar to how you are not jealous of Cristian and your Master.” I try hard not to sneer. “You are not a threat to me. Benjamin isn’t a threat to my relationship with my other lovers—he’s part of it, even if he doesn’t have anything more than friendship with them. Roman and Ignacio…that’s harder because I don’t like Ignacio, but I will tolerate him so long as Roman and Benjamin still have feelings for him. And whatever Jude has with Antonio, it is something he cannot get from the rest of us, so it works.”
I study the boy, seeing how truly lost he is in the interrelationships department, and curse inwardly. I might not enjoy the feelings that my lovers force to course through me, but Emilio seems to be a sinking ship when it comes to them.
“I…I am Master’s… How can I have everything I want with Hollis when I have him?”
I sigh. “That is something you’re going to have to speak with your Master and your…Hollis about. Unless you want him to tell you to leave Hollis alone?”
“No!” he snarls, taking a step forward. “He’s mine!”
I nod once. “Then there you go. It’s as simple as that. Take what you want, Emilio. You can have your Master/Daddy and…whatever Hollis is to you.”
“He is… He’s a bright light, an angel who helps keep me sane, and…my–my… He’s someone special to me, okay?”
“Okay. As long as you and Hollis know what he means to you, why does anyone or anything else matter?”
“Master…he is my everything.”
“And I am Hollis’s, but that doesn’t mean he’s not allowed to have you, too. The same can be said in reverse.”
He seems to turn my words over in his mind, because he nods slowly. I don’t know what conclusions he’s come to, but there’s a lightness in his eyes and his posture shifts, his back straightening as if a weight’s been lifted off his slim shoulders.
“Thank you, Ten.”
“You’re welcome, Mostrotto.”
He rolls his eyes. “Really going with that?”
I shrug. “Benjamin says you’re a homicidal teddy bear. So why wouldn’t ‘little monster’ be fitting?”
He shakes his head and brushes past me for the door. Before he can reach it though, I stop him. When he looks at the hand on his arm, I release him quickly, and he meets my gaze.
“Thank you,” I say lowly, even though we’re the only two conscious in the room. “Thank you for taking care of Hollis when I wasn’t there.”
His features soften. “He’s mine, as I already said, so why wouldn’t I?”
I give him the smile I normally reserve for family. “Why indeed. Still, I am thankful. He needs you.”
“I need him, too.”
Something profound seems to pass between us, and just for a moment, I wonder what his soft lips would feel like pressed against mine, but I dismiss the curiosity. “Let’s get back to il nostro amante then.”
Emilio leads the way out of the room, and for once, I am happy to leave death behind, retaking my façade of a functioning human. Though, this time, I am not alone.
