his respect, but not making it obvious because they were in public. Then he turned, indicating the rest of their entourage. “This is my father, Joseph Winston. And these are our friends, Remington Lassiter and Jacob Romero.”
    “Howard Reynolds,” Keaton’s father said as he shook hands with everyone. “This is my wife Joanna.”
    “Hello,” Joanna said.
    They got their luggage and walked out of the terminal. Somehow Keaton ended up with nothing to carry. He tried to take a bag from Chay, but Chay wouldn’t let him. “No. Visit with your parents, I’ve got this.”
    Keaton nodded and half-heartedly listened to his mother chatter away about how she’d missed him.
    His father and Chay’s father were having a conversation as well, and Remi hung back with Jake.
    When they got to the curb and spotted the limo, Keaton thought Chay’s eyes were going to pop out of his head.
    Keaton patted his arm. “It’s okay. We don’t always ride around in limos. I guess they wanted to make sure we’d all fit.”
    Chay snorted and handed their luggage to the chauffeur.
    Keaton grinned and grabbed Chay’s hand, pulling him in beside him.
    Keaton’s father stared at their intertwined hands, but didn’t say anything. After they were all settled in the car and on their way to Reynolds Hall, Howard cleared his throat, getting their attention. “So, Chay, what do you do for a living?”
    Chay looked at Keaton, then Howard, a pleasant smile on his face.
    “I’m a vet, sir.”
    “What branch? Army, navy…?”
    Keaton chuckled. “No, Dad, he’s a doctor. An animal doctor.”

    “Oh.” Joanna practically cooed. “Wow, a doctor. That’s wonderful.
    Now, if you were only a woman you’d be perfect.” She gasped and slapped her hand to her mouth. “My word. I’m sorry, it slipped out.”
    Keaton frowned at her.
    Joe, Remi, Jake and Chay chuckled.
    “Don’t mind her, Chay. We are pleased to meet you. We would have rather you been a woman, but…you’re Keaton’s mate… Actually to be honest, I’m rather glad to see that you are a man. It makes more sense to me now. I was rather shocked when Keaton told us he was gay.”
    Keaton rolled his eyes. He opened his mouth to let his dad have a piece of his mind when Chay squeezed his hand, giving him a warning look. He snapped his mouth closed.
    Joanna clapped her hands. “I do like you, Chay. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone be able to hush him up once he gets a bee in his bonnet.”
    Keaton glared at her too.
    Chay squeezed his hand again. Damn it. Now, they were all gonna think he was domesticated or something.
    Chay grinned. “Well, Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds, since we are being open and honest, I was pretty surprised to find out my mate was a man too.
    But I love your son and I’m not going anywhere, so I suppose we will all have to get used to the idea.”
    Howard smiled and leaned forward, slapping Chay on the arm.
    “Welcome to our family, Chay.”
    “Thank you, sir. And in case it crossed your mind…I refuse to have a sex change.”
    The entire car erupted in laughter.

    “Would you cut it out?” Chay grabbed Bit’s hand and removed it from his cock for the third time in the last two minutes. There was no way he www.samhainpublishing.com 215

    was having sex in Keaton’s parent’s home. It was bad enough they lived in a huge fucking colonial mansion with an oak-lined drive, big white marble columns and a name—the fucking house had a name , for crying out loud—but Bit’s parents were just down the hall. Heck, for that matter, his own parent was in the bedroom right next door. Geez, he felt way out of his element.
    Bit groaned and crawled onto him, straddling his hips. “You are the one who insisted on bringing all that lube.” He frowned, but his eyes twinkled with mirth.
    “Shh… That was when I thought we’d be staying in a hotel.”
    Bit grabbed his prick again.
    Chay batted his hand away. “You could have told me you were heir to a goddamned fortune and from one of the oldest moneyed families in all of freaking Georgia.”
    Bit leaned down, kissing Chay’s chin. “Technically, I’m the spare and Aubrey is the heir. And anyway, I was disowned.”
    “No you weren’t. You let that king-sized temper of yours take over and you ran away. You and your ego, I swear to God… And besides that, Aubrey is a psychopath who is trying to kill you, I somehow doubt your
