Syx came up beside him and took his other hand, nodding firmly and looking out over the battle zone. “Okay, baby. Do your thing.”

“Sorry about this,” Echo mumbled. He didn’t have time to ease into it, though. Dropping all his shields, he sucked in as much as his lovers’ powers as fast as he could, let it cycle through him, then forced it all toward Hex.

“Motherfucker!” the alpha roared, but he didn’t let go of Echo’s hand.

“Do you need to touch them?” Echo asked through gritted teeth.

“Yes,” Hex answered just as tightly.

“Okay. We’ll distract them, but hurry. Get Gage first. He’s the most dangerous, and he looks like he’s going to rip Mac’s head off.”

* * * *

Hex sprinted over to the werewolf, cocked his fist back, and punched Gage square in the face. Once he had the beast dazed, he gripped the malformed muzzle in both hands, closed his eyes, and let the power flow from him and into Gage.
Shit!
He hoped this worked.

It took only a few heartbeats for Gage to stop struggling against him. The furry skin beneath his hand began to shift and change, and Hex opened his eyes to find Gage in all his human glory staring back at him. “Welcome back.”

“Thanks,” Gage said shakily. He surveyed the scene and shook his head like a dog shaking off water. “I’ll help with the shifters.” He kissed Sony and Mac then hurried over to jump onto one of the wolves’ backs.

It was four against two, and still the shifters were kicking everyone’s ass. Hex needed to get to them next. “Myst! Freeze them!”

“What the fuck do you think I’ve been trying to do?” Myst called back. “It’s not working!” He grunted when Jinx’s elbow slammed into his ribs. “I’m going to rip your fangs out and shove them in your eye sockets,” he snarled at the vampire.

Fan-fucking-tabulous. With a heavy sigh, Hex narrowed his eyes at the biggest wolf, took a running start, and leapt onto the monster’s back. Clamping his knees against the beast’s sides to hold himself in place, he linked his fingers together, lifted his hands over his head, and brought them crashing down on the back of the wolf’s head.

There was a high-pitched yelp, but the animal didn’t fall. Giving up on it being easy, Hex wound one hand in the thick fur, pressed the other flat to the wolf’s skull, and let his power roll through him. He had to start over several times as the animal thrashed beneath him, bucking and turning, trying to dislodge him. Finally, the struggle seemed to die out of him, and the beast dropped to the ground with a heavy thud.

Hex scrambled off of him, and stood watching until he was sure the job was done. A few seconds later, Jet knelt on all fours in front of him, naked as the day he was born, panting for breath, and rubbing the back of his head.

Hex winced, but quickly refocused his attention to the next wolf. Now that he knew what to do, he had no problems propelling himself onto the animal’s back and wrapping both arms around the wolf’s head. It took a lot less effort to bring Pax down, and Hex was grateful. Already he could feel his energy draining, and he still had two vampires to deal with.

Just as he jumped from Pax’s back, he heard Echo scream. Myst, Syx, and Craze all lay heaped on the ground around him, limp and unconscious. Jinx and Syn advanced on Echo, flying toward him with a move too fast to follow and taking him down easily.

Hex watched in horror as both vampires sank their fangs into either side of Echo’s neck and began to drink from him in great, urgent pulls.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck!” Hex roared, flying across the distance between them and dropping to his knees, ready to wrench Jinx away from his mate.

“Hex, stop!” Eyce yelled. “He’ll rip Echo’s throat out if you do that.”

With a great effort, Hex resisted. Instead, he drudged up the last of his waning power, placed his hands on the back of the vampires’ heads, and sent a blast of energy toward them with such force it vibrated the ground beneath them. At this point, he wouldn’t be sorry if it killed them.

Both men cried out, opening their mouths and releasing their hold on Echo’s bleeding neck. Orientation came to them slowly, and they looked around them, then down at Echo, and their eyes went wide as saucers.

“Oh, no,” Jinx breathed. “Echo! Echo! Are you okay? I didn’t mean to…oh, shit, please be okay.”

Echo groaned, his eyelids fluttering open slowly. “I’ll live,” he mumbled groggily. “That was so not cool, though.”

“We couldn’t stop. I didn’t know…I couldn’t…I’m so sorry!” Syn wailed.

Hex tried not to hold it against the vampires. No one was seriously injured, and they’d been out of their minds. Still, a small growl rumbled in his chest as he pushed past them and gathered Echo up in his arms. He brushed the hair back from his mate’s forehead and kissed his lips gently. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

Echo smiled lazily and nodded. “I’m fine. Just sleepy.” He bit his lip and wrinkled his nose. “And thirsty. They took a lot.”

Without a word, Hex lifted Echo higher up in his arms, turned his head to the side, and urged Echo’s mouth to his neck. He flinched a bit when Echo’s sharp teeth popped through his skin, but sighed in deep satisfaction when he felt the gentle sucking. It made his heart sing and his dick hard to know he could provide for his mate in such a way.

When Echo was finished, he licked the wound and placed a soft kiss over it. “Thank you.”

Rubbing his cheek over the top of Echo’s head, Hex smiled. He’d done it. They’d won, and his lovers were unharmed. His eyes fell to Myst and Syx where they were still unconscious on the ground. Well, mostly unharmed. He nodded at Eyce and Fiero then down to Syx and Myst. “Can you carry them?”

“I’ll get Craze,” Gage offered. Everyone worked together, lifting the men in the most comfortable positions possible.

Hex cradled Echo to his chest and dipped his head. “Let’s go home.”

* * * *

“Echo, can you come up here, please?”

Onyx waited until Echo appeared at the bottom of the stairs. “What’s up?” his mate asked as he began climbing the steps.

“We have a surprise for you.”

Echo growled. “You know I don’t like surprises. Can’t you just tell me what it is?”

Onyx shook his head and twirled his hand for Echo to hurry. “I think you’re going to like this one. Now, move that sexy ass.”

Chuckling under his breath, Echo jogged up the remainder of the stairs and fisted his hands on his hips. “Okay, so where is my surprise?”

“This way.” Onyx grabbed the smaller man’s hand and dragged him down the hall to Hex’s room. He eased the door open, blocking Echo’s view with his body, then stepped to the side when he was sure everything was ready.

Echo was still laughing when he stepped into the room. The sound died away immediately when he saw his surprise, however, and Onyx was afraid the man was going to choke. “Uh, surprise,” he said hesitantly.

“For me?”

“Do you like it?” Onyx looked around the room, his dick straining and aching behind his zipper at the sight that met his eyes.

Hex and Eyce stood side by side, a steel spreader holding their legs wide. Their wrists were bound together, their arms stretched over their heads where the ropes were connected to hooks in the ceiling.

Vapre was stretched out on his back in the center of the mattress, ankles and wrists bound to the bedposts with silk scarves. Syx knelt at the foot of the bed, his wrists tied behind him and a ball gag in his mouth.

Myst knelt in front of a wooden chair, his chest pressed flat to the seat, and his wrists secured through the slats in the back. He wiggled his hips, showing off the bright blue butt plug lodged in his ass.

Fiero sauntered over to them with a wicked grin. “We”—he nodded to include Onyx—“know that you still have hang ups about being restrained. We just wanted to show you that it’s not scary, and it can be a lot of fun. You’ll be in complete control of everything that happens. Everyone is completely at your mercy.”

“What about you two?” Echo asked.

“If you want,” Onyx agreed. “We really just want to watch.”

“It turns you on?”

Onyx groaned and pressed the heel of his palm against his aching groin. “Yeah, it does.”

“So, what do you think?” Fiero asked.

Echo smiled impishly. “I think I could learn to love surprises.”
