Liam POV-

Liam

Liam was in his own little world. Sitting in the garden Vincenzo had made for him. He was lost and confused and really just wanted his mate. If he had one still, he thought.

Liam wondered why the Goddess was doing all this.

Liam jumped. Hearing her voice was so calming but it did scare him. Liam turned to look at her,

" Yeah, but all this second mate business is too much for me."

L- "What do you mean by that?"

Sel- .

Liam knew she would make sure he was ok. He completely trusted his Goddess.

Liam woke up when warm safe arms and the smell of his mate hit his nostrils. He hadn't realized he was asleep.

Liam and Vincenzo were very happy to see each other. They both had so much to say and didn't know where to start. How do you apologize for all this crazy mess?

Vincenzo broke the ice first.

"Why?"

"I love you, Vincenzo, I was hurt when you called him your mate and didn't pay me any attention. I thought we were over". Liam said lower than intended. He was overwhelmed by everything that had happened. Tears started coming down his face.

"

Liam nodded, all he really wanted was to spend time with his mate and sleep.

Vincenzo took Liam to their room. He had so much on his mind and so much to deal with but right now his mate needed love and affection. Plus, Vince was exhausted. Vince laid Liam in bed and went to lock the door. He also put a spell on it, so no one and he meant no one could interrupt them. Rowan and Carlo were the only people who could get in if it was necessary. He just wanted to spend time with his mate. He lay in bed beside him and cuddled. Didn't take long.

Liam woke up first, he'd had the best sleep ever. This pillow is so comfy he thought. He fully opened his eyes and saw he was tangled up in the covers laying on top of Vince. Vince looks so much younger when he sleeps Liam thought. He really loved this feeling and honestly couldn't wait for them to fully mate. Kane wasn't helping by pushing dirty images of Vince into his head. Kane was beyond ready to mate with Ace, unlike Liam. It had been over a week, and mates were supposed to mate within the first couple of days, so this was new to him.

-Vince POV-

Listening to Kane and Liam's thoughts was soothing. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't really understand Liam. Ace also wanted to mate with Kane but the three were waiting for Liam to be on board. Vince could smell the slick Liam was producing and knew he was horny, but this was being set off by his upcoming heat. Vince had to make sure he got back in time. Pushing all that aside. Vince opened his eyes to see Liam staring at him. He leaned in for a kiss and shifted the two so Liam was under him.

"Ok Vincenzo"was all he said before he drifted back to sleep.
