palm up and grabbed onto Aiden’s hand. He closed his eyes then slowly opened them, keeping his gaze downward. “There’s no reason. Maybe it’s because we’re attracted to one another.”
    “So you are attracted to me?” A warm, inviting smile curved Aiden’s lips. “So, Devon, do you take all the men you are attracted to hostage?”
    “Only the ones I want to keep.” Devon reached out and cupped the side of Aiden’s face. His eyes dropped to Aiden’s soft, full lips. Just one taste, that was all he needed. Slowly he leaned forward, and Aiden met him in the middle. Devon moaned at the contact. Nothing ever felt so perfect or meant to be.
    Aiden nibbled teasingly on Devon’s bottom lip, and his inner wolf growled its approval. Devon took both hands and looped them around Aiden’s neck, bringing him even closer. His tongued pushed at the seam of Aiden’s lips, and the younger man opened instantly. Devon licked and sucked until he tasted every inch of Aiden’s mouth. It was heaven. Like honey and dark chocolate combined to make the sweetest mixture Devon could imagine.
    What are you doing? You can’t do this to yourself. Aiden’s dad will call you in two days. To get Erik back you will have to hand over Aiden. Don’t get too attached. He’ll be gone soon.
    Reluctantly, Devon pulled back. Aiden’s mouth was still parted and his eyes shut. Devon thought the man looked gorgeous in his wanton state, but no matter how much he wanted to continue this, he had to stop. It wasn’t fair to Aiden or to himself to become addicted to something they couldn’t have.
    “What’s the matter?” Aiden asked, confusion playing across his face.
    “Nothing.” Devon stood up. “But it’s late, and we both need our sleep.” He bent down and kissed Aiden on the forehead then hightailed it for the door.
    With the door shut safely behind him, Devon rested his weight against it. It took all the control he had to walk out of that room. He wanted Aiden so badly, and the younger man seemed to want him just as much, even with the whole kidnapping and being-chained-up thing going on. Aiden kissed him like he meant it. A person couldn’t fake that.
    “Nice boner.”
    What? Devon looked down. The towel he wore did nothing to hide his full-blown erection tenting the material.
    “I see you are taking my advice,” Josef said as he stood there with a knowing grin on his face. “So how was it?”
    Devon growled at his friend as he headed for his room. He was so not having this conversation right now.
    “Oh, come on, Dev. Is it as great as they say? Don’t hold out on me.” Josef followed Devon into his room oblivious to his internal struggle.
    He didn’t say a word, just went straight into his bathroom and took a shower. After he dried off and stepped back into his room, he saw Josef laid out on his bed staring at the ceiling. “What the hell, man? Get out of my room.”
    “Not until you tell me what happened.” Josef sat up and swung his feet off the bed.
    Devon yanked open his dresser drawer and pulled out a pair of boxers. “Nothing happened.”
    “Nothing?” Josef’s eyebrows arched up to his hairline. “I can smell the sexual bliss in the air. It’s like a fucking aphrodisiac. I’m getting high off it myself.” He rubbed his cock through his jeans. “I need to get laid.”
    Damn his best friend and his sensitive nose. Devon sat down on his bed, rested his elbows on his knees and hung his head. “Aiden knows what we are.”
    “And?” Josef pushed.
    “And we kissed.” His heart raced just thinking about it.
    “Then what’s the problem? He obviously accepts it if he let you kiss him. So what gives?”
    “Maybe it’s the fact that his dad is a hunter who is hunting us and has my baby brother. To get Erik back I have to turn Aiden over to his father. That’s the deal.” Devon stood and began to pace the floor.
    “That’s all technicalities.” Josef batted a hand in the air. “I totally get what
