denied yourself,” Bren protested in the only manner he knew how. He wasn’t good at exchanging compliments. It just wasn’t done in his choir.
    Michel chuckled. “I doubt it, my man. I almost lost it when he came down to breakfast, and he wasn’t even sexed up anymore.”
    The hand that had been on Bren’s shoulder slid up to stroke his hair. He and Michel were the same height, so looking into each other’s eyes had the strangest dizzying effect on Bren. He liked being petted like this. It was his biggest weakness. He loved having someone run their fingers through his hair. His heart pounded. What was wrong with him today? His eyes flicked to Michel’s pulse. Was it a little faster than it was a moment ago? He swallowed hard, suddenly aware that he was in nothing but a towel. Which was ridiculous because angels weren’t typically that freaked out by nudity. It was their natural state after all.
    Michel snatched his hand back, and just like that the tension broke. Michael’s angel cleared his throat uncomfortably. “Sorry. I guess he’s affecting me more than I realize. I’ll, uh, I’ll see you downstairs.”
    “Sure,” Bren replied automatically as Michel turned away. Today
    couldn’t get any stranger. And it had just started.

    Chapter Seven
    Madigan began washing dishes as soon as all the angels had finished eating. He’d put aluminum foil over Bren’s pancakes and stuck them in the microwave to keep until he made his way downstairs. He’d heard the shower shut off upstairs, but it would still probably be a while if he was anything like Madigan.
    He was still in disbelief over the fact that he was going to be playing house with a bunch of angels until one of them figured out how to give him proper protection. He rinsed another white plate and set it in the drainer to dry.
    “Need some help?” Cross asked as he sidled up beside Madigan at the sink. Madigan gave the angel a smile.
    “Sure,” he answered. He reached in a drawer and extricated a
    towel and threw it at him. “I’ll rinse. You dry and put away. Okay?”  He still didn’t understand how his mother didn’t have a dishwasher. It
    was the oddest thing considering how much and how often she
    cooked.
    He watched Cross out of the corner of his eye as he continued the tedious work of dishwashing. The angel expertly toweled off the utensils, cups, and plates before quickly finding where they went and tucked them away.
    “So how do angels learn how to do dishes?” Madigan asked before he could help himself.
    Cross smiled softly at him and took the plate out of his hands.  “The same way humans do I suppose. We’re taught.”
    “Do they have a special school that they teach angels who come to earth how to act or whatever?”

    The angel laughed. The sound was good. Deeply masculine. It sounded like something Madigan would love to listen to while laying horizontal in bed late at night. An image of Bren popped into his mind. Yeah, maybe he could be there, too. Madigan shook his head to clear it. Since when had he turned into such a slut?   Jeez . He thought
    about his dream.   Okay .   Angelic puberty . That was what he was  blaming everything on from here on out.
    “Are you blushing, Madigan?” Cross teased, bumping his hip.  That only made him blush harder. He couldn’t drag his mind out of  the gutter around these guys. All of them were beautiful, strong, the  epitome of what was sure to get him panting like a cat in heat in no  time flat.
    “Just dry your dishes, mister,” Madigan commanded, waving a  fork in his direction. The angel continued chuckling.
    Once they were finished and Madigan dried off his hands, he  turned to the angel. “You guys want to watch a movie or something?”  His mom had DIRECTV so it wasn’t like there weren’t fifty million  channels for them to surf.
