rotten.
Marius grinned unapologetically, the expression boyish in
comparison to the other faces Mar had made before meeting the
Elites. It d been three days since Madigan s visit, and Levi had been
itching to have this done in time for their portrait session on Friday.
We re going to have to work on this being spoiled issue. Axis
sighed.
Hmph. We ll see about that. Levi knew how to twist Erik and
Marius around his finger. He looked at Brax, who was looking more
than a little torn by the exchange. It looked like Brax wasn t too far
behind in falling into the give-Levi-what-he-wants club. He did a
mental happy dance. It was good to be loved. Wait, do they love me?
The thought made him frown. They were his mates, so they had to
care about him, but did they really like him or were they just
tolerating him because he was destined to be theirs or whatever? Did
it even matter? Too much thinking. It makes my head hurt. It doesn t
matter. He d wait on the I love yous from them. That would be
108 Jana Downs
something special, and it wouldn t happen overnight even if the
marriage did. Two weddings in one week. I m a lucky guy.
Oh, for heaven s sake, Axis. Let the little ones have their tattoos.
I like the idea of having our names in their skin. Keer was
unexpected help in the argument, but Levi would take it. He so
deserved a reward for being awesome.
Erik s nostrils flared. Uh-oh. Levi knew what that Latino temper
was about to do. Hey, bud, I didn t ask you to take up for me, and for
your 411, I am not little. I don t need tall, dark, and purple-eyed to
come to my rescue. I can handle Axis.
Levi smothered a giggle. Oh, boy. Keer looked like he d been
slapped through his handsome face.
Handle me? Axis asked dryly, his lips twitching. I m twice as
big as you and outweigh you by a good forty pounds. That s not even
including the fact that by angelic power standards you re an infant
and I m a grown man.
Erik pointed his finger in Axis s face. Honey that honorific
was only reserved for when Marius had done something that meant
Erik was about to flip his shit I hate to inform you, but I will kick
your butt up one wall and down the other. Feel me? He dissolved in
a Spanish litany detailing all the ways he was going to put Axis in his
place. Levi did giggle then. Oh, boy. They d really got him going. As
wound up as Erik was, it d be midnight before they actually got to the
ceremony.
With a groan of surrender, Axis crossed the distance between
them and claimed Erik s still-talking mouth in a kiss. He struggled at
first but eventually relaxed underneath the sensual assault that the
Elite commander had just leveled at him.
Now why didn t I think of that? Marius asked, grinning.
Axis broke the kiss and gasped as Erik bit his bottom lip. Fine. I
give. You two can get our names on you. Levi clapped his hands
together happily, and Erik got this satisfied cat-that-ate-the-canary
Angelic Union 109
look on his face. We ll do the regular bonding ceremony first and
then a part at the end for your tattoos. Okay?
Fine by me, Levi said in a chipper tone.
Me, too, Erik echoed.
Great. Now may we please get this show on the road? It takes
forever to organize you guys. The complaint was delivered with a
smile. Levi had thought that his first wedding would be the happiest
moment of his life, but he realized that this was probably going to be
the best one ever. He d finally found his peace, his protection, his
men, and even though they d met at different intervals, his family
now felt complete.

Keer had never in a million years thought he was going to mark
his skin with anything other than cologne. He d been surprised how
right it had felt to be able to ink the names of his two new beloveds in
his skin. He touched the tattoo beneath the white gauze pad as he
waited for the last Elite, Axis, to get tattooed. He could already feel
the bond running through him, soothing away the fear of rejection and
loss with a magic older than time. His animal may have been satisfied
by their physical union, but even it felt better once the magic settled
onto his skin. It felt like coming home.
Levi and Erik had already stripped off their shirts and had the
stenciled names applied to the center of their chests. The marks were
going to look beautiful, and a fierce possessiveness filled him at the
thought. Mine. Ours. Yep. He could already see himself falling hard
for the two. His eyes went over to Marius. The surliest member of the
threesome had evened out temperament-wise since his redemption.
He seemed much more content and lovable now than he had before.
There was gratitude where there had been resentment before. Keer
was happy that they could take some of his burden. Their fallen mate
110 Jana Downs
had done so well protecting the nephilim over the past year, and he
deserved a much-needed break to enjoy life.
Levi sidled up to him where he stood beside the doorway. Keer?
Yes, little one?
Will you be the one who inks me? Erik wants Marius to do him,
and since we have two of the gun-thingies, I thought you could do
me.
Tears sprain to Keer s eyes. Y You want me to? Me? Why?
He d figured that he d get Brax to do it since they d been so chummy
with the video games lately. They d even hooked up the giant
flatscreen to an Xbox, Wii, and old Super Nintendo and had taken to
playing it after dinner. Out of all of them, Brax was the one who
seemed to make fast friends with the little nephilim.
Yes. The word was soft. You know what I need.
Keer s cock hardened at the thought. He did. He knew that when
Levi said no and too much sometimes he meant that he was just
getting to the place where he could fly into space. He understood
Levi s limits. I won t hurt you. I won t hurt you in any way that you
don t want me to, anyway. Sexually, Keer had always been a little
rougher than the other Elites. Levi was the yin to his yang.
Levi s cornflower-blue eyes lifted to his. I know. Pleasure
curled through his gut.
Thank you, little one.
All finished, Axis announced as the bandage was applied, and
he was able to stand. Grab another chair for Erik. Levi, sit here. Who
do you want to do your tat?
Levi linked their hands. Keer said that he would do mine. I d like
that.
His commander smiled. Keer it is, then. Erik?
Marius, Erik said instantly. I want him to put your names in
my skin so that he knows that he approved it.
