That meant they could be nervous, and he said anyone who said otherwise could kiss his bottom.

He said naughty words when he was very upset, though.

I didn’t like naughty words unless I was feelingverynaughty.

“I’m going to come sit down beside you, cutie. It’s just us now.” Austin was very slow as he came over and sat down beside me on the floor. “Ugh, I’d have worn different shoes if I knew we were going to hide. I think I stabbed my own ass. Silas is going to be pissed if I’ve somehow damaged myself.”

I couldn’t help giggling and that just made Austin huff again. “Yes, laugh at the omega with a heel print on his ass.”

That was hisI’m being dramaticvoice.

Silas thought it was funny too. It made his eyes twinkle and he’d threaten to spank Austin. But Austin liked spankings, so that always made him be good or it distracted him so he forgot to be naughty.

“Alright.” Austin’s clothes swished around and he sighed. “There. Now, come cuddle with me and let’s figure out the problem.”

We both wouldn’t fit.

He’d made everyone leave.

He liked fixing things.

Inching out, I crawled over and sat down beside him. He even wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tight. “Did someone scare you?”

Nodding, I snuggled closer and pretended not to see his penis because that was just good manners.

“Do I need to bury their body?”

Shaking my head, I heard him sigh. “I never get to bury bodies anymore.”

He was so silly.

Austin made a thinking sound. “Alright, was it an accident?”

Oh, I wasn’t sure…I shrugged.

It just made Austin sneaky. “Gideon said he was sorry he upset you.”

Now I had to talk.

Shoot.

I didn’t want Gideon in trouble.

Taking out my binkie, I told him what happened and didn’t worry that it was in a whisper. He’d never tell me to talk like a grown-up. “He was pushing me to be more…well…brave. Then Papa Ansel touched my shoulder and he heard Gideon and I squealed and then I…I panicked? I’m sorry?”

I might’ve left out a few things but it sounded almost right.

“You don’t like being startled, cutie. That’s not something you need to apologize for.” Austin pulled me closer until I was almost on his lap. “Now, was Gideon pushing you because you like Papa Ansel? Did he name himself that? I thought he’d be Uncle Ansel too.”

That made me giggle. “Yes, he wanted to be different than Uncle Jarrett?”

Austin seemed to think that was silly but he didn’t get distracted. He was very smart and very focused. “Well, it’s cute, so I approve. But let’s go back to that last point again. Do you think Ansel was nice?”

I kind of wished he’d asked a harder question so I could’ve hidden again.

Nodding, I managed words even if they were quiet. “Yes. He…he wanted my picture?”

“Brave boy.” Austin hugged me tight again. “I think if he wanted your picture, he thought you were a very sweet little he wanted to get to know.”
