 angels in turn. It was a bit crowded with all seven of them standing  there, but they somehow managed to not get in the way of the other  customers that were trying to get in through the door.
“We wouldn’t miss it,” Levi said, smiling.
“How much do we owe you for the cookies?” Jade asked, fishing  out his wallet.
Madigan waved his hand in dismissal. “Nothing. You guys are family friends. I wouldn’t charge you for cookies.” He winked at  Levi. “Especially given the fact that you most likely won’t get any.”  He knew Levi had a penchant for sweets, and he was probably correct. If those cookies made it home, it would be by sheer miracle.
Keer’s hand rested on Levi’s lower back. “You can have two
before we get home. I don’t want you getting sick.”
                         
Levi bristled a bit at the “can” bit, but he shrugged it off. It was sound advice. The last time he’d indulged to that degree, he’d gotten sick as a dog. “Yeah, yeah,” he quipped. He’d have   three   cookies. He returned his attention to Madigan. “Are your friends in town yet?” He knew that Madigan was really nervous about his friends meeting his lovers for the first time.
Madigan shook his head. “They get in tonight. Christian had to work, I think. I’ll call you tomorrow and let you know how everything goes.”
“Sounds good.” Levi nodded. “If you need me, you have my number. Try to relax.”
Madigan laughed, the sound joyous. “Honestly, I’ve been too busy to worry today. I expected to get a little traffic, but this has been insane. We had a good breakfast crowd, and then we got slammed at lunch. That’s not even including the online and telephone orders we’ve received. If business keeps up like this, I’m going to have to buy the building next door to expand the bakery.”
“Right on,” Levi said. “Well, good luck with the rest of your day.  Call me tomorrow.”
“Will do. By the way, you look adorable today. I’ll see you  around.” He waved at Levi’s lovers. “It was nice seeing you all  again.”
As Madigan ducked back into the kitchens, Levi turned toward his  lovers, gripping his prize. “Ready to go? I now have a snack to enjoy  while we watch you guys turn all beastly.” He waggled his eyebrows  at his Elites. They laughed at him and tugged him to the exit.

Marius was pleased with the exhibition arena. The domed attachment to the main facility building had turned out much better than Marius had thought it would when he’d seen the plans for the place. He’d been worried that the seats were going to put the students
                          
in a dangerous position should any of the action going on in the  ground level get out of hand. However, the thin sigil of protection at  the center of the room shielded all areas but the ground floor. Angelic  contractors were the way to go.
“Levi, Erik, go ahead and go sit over on the ground benches while  we get ready. Once we’ve shifted, you can come out onto the main  floor, but until then, stay there. Okay?” Axis asked as the other Elites  started stripping off their clothing and piling it on the benches he was  motioning toward.
“Sure, Axis,” Erik said, watching their lovers bare themselves  with barely contained hunger. If this outing didn’t turn into an orgy,  Marius would eat his sandals.
“Marius, I need your mind on the task at hand. Go strip with the  others. Erik, when we’re done, I’m going to teach you some shielding  techniques,” Axis said.
Marius did as he was bid and jogged over to the benches. Brax  offered a grin. “Excited?”
Marius shrugged. “Nervous actually. I feel like something big is  going to happen.”
“In a way it’s a lot like getting your wings. It marks the passage  between guardian and Elite,” Jade said. “Plus it’s the moment when  you and your animal will become one being with a
