two.”
    “Fries or onion rings?”
    “That depends.”
    Jaxon turned to eye Elijah , who was smirking.
    “Onion rings ,” Jaxon grinned widely.
    Elijah pouted.
    Jaxon placed their order and they waited for their number to be called.
    “ Next Friday is your birthday. What do you plan to do?” Jaxon asked, steering the conversation away from kissing.
    “What are you guys planning for me?”
    “What makes you think we’re planning anything?”
    “Pfft. Whatever.” Elijah grabbed for his wallet, but a warm hand enveloped his.
    “I’ve got this.”
    “So, are you hanging out with me again, bodyguard?”
    “If you want me to. I can stay around the house if not.”
    “Oh hell no! You have to watch the next episode of the show.”
    Jaxon sighed in frustration. “Fine. I suppose I could hang out and watch it.”
    Elijah narrowed his eyes at Jaxon. “You liked it!”
    “What? No I didn’t!”
    “Yes, you did.”
    Their number was called and Elijah grabbed his sandwich and started walking back to the bike. “Yeah, you did.”
    Jaxon had to laugh as Elijah swung his hips back and forth while pouting. God, could the time go any slower?
     
    When they arrived back at Skylar’s, the boys were singing around the dining room table. Elijah joined them and Jaxon sat on the couch with Justice, just listening. Each of them was totally in tune with the other; it was as if they were meant to come together. Now Jaxon knew they were.
    Even as a werewolf, it was hard to imagine that he was sitting in the same room as children of gods. He’d been aware of the supernatural from birth, but it didn’t help when he met Wayne, or Chance for that matter. Growing up, hearing stories of such things did not make such stories true. Now he knew all of it was.
    Elijah’s voice slid down his spine and curled around his testicles. Damn but the kid could sing!
    “Okay, let’s rest up our voices for tomorrow.”
    “Wait, you guys aren’t going to the club tonight?” Jaxon asked.
    “Nah. We’re leaving the drunks to sing. Our friend Olivia Stetson is there taking care of the karaoke machine. Some of these guys have homework that needs to be done before Monday. So we’re taking tonight to finish some of that up.” Skylar smiled at the group and went into the kitchen. Elijah followed him.
    “Hey, Skylar?”
    “Yes?”
    “Um, do you feel weird or anything?”
    “Weird like how?”
    “Well, you can move water right? Does something happen to you right before you do it?”
    “Well, the first time , I was scared you were about to get hurt — so I made the wave that pushed you out of the way of that boat. I didn’t know I’d done it then, but looking back on that day, I know now that I did. Most of the time if I’m scared or angry, it’s more powerful. I just get this weird sensation in my fingers, like they’re tingling.”
    “When you’re close to water?”
    Skylar nodded. “Pretty much.” Skylar eyed Elijah. “I don’t freak you out, right?” Skylar was almost bowled over when Elijah jumped on him, hugging him tightly.
    “No way! I think it is so cool!”
    Skylar chuckled. “I’m getting that impression.” He sobered and focused on Jaxon sitting in the living room. “How’s it going with your bodyguard?”
    “I swear he was flirting with me at the mall,” Elijah whispered in a conspiratorial tone.
    “Yeah?” Skylar’s brows rose.
    Elijah nodded. “And we like all the same stuff! I mean, it’s freaky.”
    “Well, maybe you’ll get a lot more for your birthday than you bargained for.”
    “God, I hope so! Jaxon popping out of a birthday cake in his jock strap would be cool!”
    A loud snort came from the living room and Skylar leaned forward to lock eyes with Justice on the couch. Jaxon’s face was fifty shades of red. It was obvious they had heard the conversation — werewolf hearing was supersensitive. Skylar narrowed his eyes and moved back into the kitchen.
    “What was that?” Elijah
