healing capability. Madigan probably used some of his angelic
power to alter the spell enough to work on Cross. Raphael is the
healer out of the archangels. It would make sense that his son got
some of his gifts.

I agree. That would make sense, Cross said, tucking Madigan
against his chest. I can t believe I nearly lost all of you. Madigan
squeezed him as tight as he dared. Dex started mumbling to himself, a
sure sign he was talking to someone else.
Lord Gabriel says that he believes it would be a good idea to
travel with the fallen and his nephilim. The sanctuary that they speak
of is one of the largest in North America. It was established by one of
my lord s sons back in the sixteen hundreds, Dex said after a
moment of indecipherable muttering.
So this means we re leaving? Madigan trembled at the thought.
This wasn t just something that was going to go away. It was finally
sinking in that the danger was not only real but potential every time
he left the house. What about the bakery?
We can move everything to the new sanctuary. The fallen says
that it is a fully functioning town, so I imagine they ll need a bakery
as well, Michel soothed. The three men in the floor lumbered to their
feet and crawled into bed as best they could with Yuri s condition.
We ll start over, baby. Don t worry about this being the end.
Think of it as the beginning, Dex said, kissing the curve of
Madigan s foot as it poked out from under the covers. Lord Gabriel
is already speaking with your father on setting us up a house and a
business for you to work in. It ll be a few more days here, and then
we can make the journey.
What about the hunters? Cross asked, cracking his eyes open.
Bren provided the answer quickly as if he d already been thinking
along those lines. Another reason we need to wait a few days. The
fallen and his nephilim will be with us, so I m hoping we can find a
way around the hunting party or at least get a few reinforcements. I
know of some of my line who would help.
Cross nodded and seemed to relax a little bit. Looks like you
guys have everything figured out without me.
Oh hell, Cross. We d be lost without our fearless, pain-in-the-ass
leader, Bren teased. Madigan watched the interaction with a smile on

his face. It was like he could see the bond growing between them,
expanding to a level of deep affection that he dared hope was the
beginnings of real love.
Madigan suddenly felt the pressing need to show all of his men
how very much he loved them. Their eyes went to him as if they knew
the direction of his thoughts.
I think I m still too banged up for this, Yuri said regretfully.
Madigan leaned over and pressed a kiss to his lips.
No worries. I ll get you next time, Madigan promised. He
expected Bren to grab him but was pleasantly surprised when it was
Michel and Dex instead. The two males pressed him between them,
letting him feel their need.
God, that is fucking beautiful, Yuri murmured. Knowing that he
was watching them touch one another added to the fire of Madigan s
want. Didn t know if I d ever get to see this again. The attack had
been horrible, but Madigan couldn t help but to feel a little thankful at
the reminder of the impermanence of things. He d been so caught up
in his cabin fever that he hadn t really appreciated the wonderful
relationships he d been forming with these wonderful men of his.
Thankfully, he was naked under the sheet, and Dex slid off the
bed so that Madigan could lie on his stomach and still reach the
hardening cock that was going to be in his mouth soon. He couldn t
wait to taste Dex on his tongue and feel him in his soul. Michel s
hand palmed his ass, and he knew Michael s angel would be the one
filling him up. Michel must ve grabbed the lube because the cold gel
pressed against the tight entrance to his body with Michel s fingers as
he stretched him.
Madigan s eyes went to Dex as he opened his mouth for the big
angel s dick. Gabriel s angel was already panting, and a drop of clear
pre-cum decorated his tip. Madigan sucked him into the back of his
throat with no hesitation at the same time Michel s thick head popped
through the ringed entrance of his body and began the slow glide

forward into his unresisting body. A flicker of movement caught his
attention out of the corner of his eye.

Bren pulled the covers down Cross s naked body and looked up at
him through lowered black lashes. Don t know if I can, Cross
murmured, stroking a hand through Bren s raven locks. The emotions
he saw churning in those pitch-black eyes made a flutter of sensation
fumble around his chest cavity for endless minutes.
If you can t, just tell me. I ve got to touch you, though. Really.
The admission warmed Cross exponentially. He wanted Bren s mouth
on him, needed his heart with him. They d never been closer than
they d been at his moment of death. Even if he had been unaware of
his surroundings when he d slid from this world and into the spiritual
realm beyond, he d felt Bren s agony over his passing. Beyond the
