Alastar from the very beginning. He was just surprised that it was his understanding nature. Alastar seemed to be taking this all in stride—
    Sebastian’s dislike of vampires and Dobry’s fear of just about everything. Nothing seemed to faze him.
    “I know that you were horribly abused by the men who had you, Dobry, but not everyone is like that. Neither is intimacy between people. Most times, it’s loving and caring and feels wonderful. It doesn’t have to be hurtful or filled with pain.”
    “I don’t believe you,” Dobry whispered.
    Sebastian’s heart ached. He looked up at Alastar again, hoping he might have a thought, but the tears silently falling down the man’s face just made it worse. But they did give Sebastian an idea. He gently gripped Dobry’s face and turned him toward Alastar.
    “Does that look like a man who wants to hurt us?” he asked quietly.
    Dobry’s breath caught in his throat. He sat up and leaned toward Alastar to wipe away one of his tears. Pulling his finger back, he stared down at it for several tense moments before looking back up at Alastar.
    “You’re crying,” Dobry said. “Why are you crying?”
    Alastar let out a half sniffle, half chuckle as he wiped his face on the back of his sleeve. “I don’t like seeing you in pain. It makes me hurt right here,” Alastar said as he thumped his chest right over his heart. “You’re my mate. Your pain is my pain.”
    Sebastian could see Dobry frown at Alastar’s words. He knew where Dobry’s mind was going before it even got there. “Dobry, you’re Alastar’s mate as much as you’re my mate.”
    “But, I thought—” Dobry started. He glanced at Sebastian, his confusion written all over his face.
    Sebastian shook his head. “Does it make a lot of sense to you for fate to mate me to two separate men and not mate them together, too?
    I’d be spending half my time with one of you and the other half with Alastar. Does that seem fair to you?”
    “No, but,” Dobry looked down at his hands as he twisted them together, “I don’t know a lot about fair.”
    “Alastar and I hope to change that, Dobry.”
    Dobry’s eyebrows drew together. He bit his lip. Sebastian knew he wanted to say something but figured the man was afraid to. “Just say it, Dobry,” he said gently. “Neither Alastar nor I will ever get upset with you for saying what’s on your mind.”
    “Do I have to–to—” Dobry gestured out the front window to where Alastar had given Sebastian a blow job.
    Saddened, but understanding Dobry’s fear, Sebastian shook his head. “No, baby, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.
    But I want you to understand something. The things that happen between Alastar and me make me feel good. I want them. Alastar wants them. You’re going to see us do things together.”
    Dobry whimpered quietly.
    “Dobry, I swear I will never hurt Sebastian,” Alastar said. “I can only hope with time that you will understand that what happens between Sebastian and me, when we touch each other or kiss or anything else, we’re only doing it to show each other how much we care about each other.”
    Dobry grabbed for his blanket and scooted back to sit in the corner of the backseat. It reminded Sebastian too much of the way Dobry had crouched down in the cage Alpha Rodrick had him in.
    “Dobry, please, won’t you come sit with me?” Sebastian asked as he held his arms out again. “I promise just to hold you like I did before. I won’t do anything more.”
    Dobry eyed him warily for a moment, then moved over to sit next to him. Sebastian was too choked up over the amount of trust Dobry was showing to say anything. He glanced at Alastar and saw he was in much the same condition. Sebastian just shook his head as he cradled Dobry to his chest.
    Alastar nodded and turned around to start the car. Sebastian waited for the car to start up and begin moving when he heard a sudden gasp from the front seat of the car. He
