away.
    Pax had no idea what the movie was about. He didn’t really care. He just hoped there was another one after this. He didn’t want to move from where he was. He didn’t want Colt to stop running his hands through his hair. It felt so good.
    Pax couldn’t remember the last time someone had touched him like this and not wanted something in return. Hell, he couldn’t even remember the last time someone had touched him at all. It seemed like forever.
    Unlike Gigi, Pax remembered his family all too well, and he knew they were bastards from word one. He wasn’t confused about why he had been on the streets before the crew of the Lady Blue found him. He knew exactly why—and he’d hate his family until his last breath for it. There were some things that just could not be forgotten.
    “Do you want to watch another one, little bird?”
    “Huh?” Pax twisted around to stare up at Colt in confusion.
    Colt waved his hand toward the vid-screen. “Do you want to watch another movie?”
    “It’s over?” Pax glanced around to find he and Colt were the only ones left in the media room. His eyes widened at the soft chuckle he heard behind him. Pax quickly scrambled to his feet. “We should probably get to bed.”
    “Or you could come sit with me, and we could watch another movie.”
    “I…” Pax sucked in his bottom lip and chewed on it as he wondered what Colt’s motives were. How could anyone be this nice and not want something? Everyone wanted something—even Pax. He wanted safety. He wanted someone to love him unconditionally. He wanted to be able to say no and mean it.
    “Come pick out a vid, little bird.” Colt held out the remote.
    Pax hesitated for just a moment then sat down next to Colt and grabbed the remote. He quickly flipped through the movies available until he found one he had seen before. If he faded off during this one, at least he wouldn’t look like a complete goober.
    The movie started. Pax watched Colt through the fall of his bangs. He smiled when Colt chuckled at something funny on the screen, frowned when Colt grumbled. Little by little, he stopped feeling afraid.

    Colt smiled when Pax leaned closer to him. He doubted his mate even knew he was doing it. Colt wasn’t blind. He knew Pax was watching him. Colt just wished he could figure Pax out. He was getting mixed signals and didn’t know how to react to that.
    Pax could be friendly, happy, outgoing one moment then freeze him out the next. Colt didn’t know if he was coming or going. Okay, he did. He definitely wasn’t coming—at least not with his mate. He had jerked off so many times in the last week he was surprised his wrist worked at all.
    If he didn’t figure his mate out soon, Colt was afraid he might lose control and just take him. He was that desperate to claim his mate. Only the fear that showed in Pax’s beautiful blue eyes stopped him.
    Colt nearly swallowed his tongue when Pax scooted the last few inches between them. A moment later, he felt Pax’s head lean against his shoulder. Colt’s heart started beating faster at having his mate so close—and there of his own free will.
    After a little while, Colt lifted his arm and wrapped it around Pax’s shoulders. He urged Pax’s head down to his chest then leaned back, allowing Pax to get cuddled up to him and comfortable.
    Colt chuckled quietly a few minutes later when Pax began to snore. He reached to the side of the couch and grabbed a small blanket, using it to cover Pax up. Then Colt lifted Pax up into his lap.
    Colt stared down at Pax, amazed by the beauty in the man’s features. He never thought he’d be interested in someone with blue skin, but after meeting Pax, he knew he wouldn’t have it any other way. The soft black hair that framed Pax’s face gave him an ethereal look. Add in the high cheekbones and plush lips, and Colt knew he was a goner.
    The movie ended but Colt had no urge to move. He leaned farther back into the couch and cradled Pax to
