some of his tension ease as he took his three steps toward his friends
and wrapped one arm around Becka s waist, squeezing her tight.
Daniella crowded into his other side, and he gave her an equally
enthusiastic squeeze.
Please tell me you are banging as least two of these gorgeous
hotties, Becka whispered conspiratorially.
Madigan chuckled. Where is Christian?

Oh right. Becka giggled. His boyfriend dragged him into the
backseat when we hit your driveway and, oh my God, he was laying a
serious lip-lock on our dear Christian.
Madigan frowned. He brought his boyfriend with him? I thought
I told you that I needed to tell you guys something important.
Yeah about your new boyfriend. We got it, Daniella said before
kissing his cheek and pulling out of their combined embrace.
Christian thought he d surprise you with his new beau since you
have been so secretive about yours.
Madigan s frown deepened. That s not how we do things.
Becka stepped farther into the house and shot Madigan a wink.
You ve been out of touch for a long time, Madi. Besides, it s not like
he s parading around a hookup. Az has been dating him for over two
months now.
Az? Madigan asked. Who the hell was named Az? It sounded
like a shampoo or something.
He s weird, super weird, but he s the only one of Christian s
boyfriends who seems to be able to stick. Chris is completely and
utterly head over heels. I m actually pretty excited for you to meet
him, Becka said. The crunch of footsteps on the concrete sidewalk
interrupted any other commentary she was going to make on
Christian s new boyfriend, and Madigan pasted a smile on his face to
welcome the additional guest into his home.
Every molecule in his body froze as Christian swept through the
door with his boyfriend on his arm. A massive frame and dark brown
hair made for a gorgeous specimen of manhood. The only thing
missing were his indigo wings. He has brown eyes. I didn t remember
that.
Madigan whispered the name of his greatest enemy. Azrael.
Immediately he was shoved behind a mountain of man flesh. The
girls screamed, and the flash of heat told Madigan that angelic swords
had been drawn. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. His heart pounded. So this
is it. The war is on or something.

Leave. Now, Cross growled. Madigan desperately wanted to see
what was going on and if his friends were okay. Unfortunately, his
height and their bulk let him see neither.
Is this how you treat your lover s guests, Cross? Azrael asked.
The pitch of his voice sent shudders of dread through Madigan s
entire body.
Let me take his fucking head off, Commander, Michel rumbled.
He was nearest to Madigan. His Guess jeans were easily recognizable
by the scorch marks that ran down the left thigh where he had been
practicing with his sword while wearing them. To the untrained eye,
the jeans looked acid washed, but Madigan knew better. Plus, he d
recognize Michel s pert ass and blond hair anywhere.
What is wrong with you guys? Christian asked in a terrified
voice.
One swing, Commander. One swing and he ends, Michel jeered,
swaying closer to their houseguests.
Hold, Michel. This is Sanctuary. We can t harm him. He could
almost hear Cross s teeth gritting.
Oh come on, Cross! Bren snapped. He didn t come here to
mend fences.
What the hell is going on? Becka asked.
We can t, Bren! If the authorities take us away from Madigan for
violating sanctuary laws, he ll be completely exposed. You think
Azrael is the only angel willing to stand up and lead the zealots?
We d make him a damn martyr, Cross argued. Azrael, you need to
leave.
Az? Christian s voice was shaking. All the fiery swords were
obviously freaking him out.
Hush, human. The angels are talking, Azrael snapped.
Don t talk to my friend like that! Madigan shouted. He wanted
to punch the angel in his smug face. He didn t consider himself a
violent person, but the impulse boiled up inside him like a pot on a
hot stove.

In a more reasonable tone, he addressed Cross. Cross, it isn t
complicated. We can talk this out. Come outside and deal with this.
