Jonas was actually worried about how McBride felt about the truth coming out. “Tell him everything is good.”
    Ferris nodded but stayed by the doorway.
    Rather than ask, McBride just lifted his brows and waited.
    “Will they be back?” Ferris’s voice was tremulous.
    “They might.” McBride saw no reason to lie to him, not when that would only exacerbate his fears. “But we’ll do the same thing we did today.”
    “Stand behind Caleb?”
    A deep chuckle came from the back part of the shed, but McBride ignored it. “We’ll stand strong together.”
    “What if we have to fight?”
    “Let’s cross that bridge if and when we get to it.”
    Ferris nodded but still didn’t go.
    “I can’t guarantee Bailey’s safety, Ferris. If I could, I would, but the world doesn’t work that way.”
    “I just worry about him.”
    “I know.” McBride put the last clean gun into the cabinet then closed the door. “It’s normal to worry about the people we love.”
    Ferris nodded. A lone tear hung on the edge of his lower lash then tumbled down to his cheek, making him tragically beautiful.
    “Come here.” McBride opened his arms.
    Ferris ran, plastering himself against McBride’s chest. When Ferris wrapped his arms around him, McBride realized just how tiny he was. He was also certain that Ferris had sought the same comfort from Bailey but found he needed just a bit more reassurance. McBride didn’t mind. He loved all his men, and he loved their mates, too. Keeping all of them safe was his top priority.
    Cuddling him close, McBride whispered nonsensical words, preferring to let his presence reassure Ferris. He thought that was probably what he needed most. Ferris didn’t want words. He wanted to feel safe, and one of the best ways to do that was to feel the inherent strength of his master.
    After a long hug and a few sniffles, Ferris let go. He didn’t speak, but he looked shyly up at McBride and then scampered out the shed door.
    “That was so sweet I don’t think I’ll be able to eat dessert for a week.”
    McBride didn’t have to turn around to know that Caleb was there. His snickering laugh after Ferris’s comment had given him away. Rather than engage him in any way, McBride decided the best course of action was to ignore him. Since he was finished cleaning, organizing, and ensuring all the weapons and ammunition were within easy reach, he left the shed.
    “So now you’re not going to talk to me?” Caleb was at his side fast enough that McBride figured he must have run to catch up. He was still wearing his long pants and heavy work boots, but he’d taken off everything else. One look at his powerful chest out the corner of McBride’s eye was enough to make a plethora of images dance in his head. Despite his efforts to stem the tide, he couldn’t help but imagine tossing Caleb in the stocks, ripping his beige pants off, and spending the rest of the day teasing his ass until he begged McBride to fuck him. Only when night fell and the moon rose would McBride indulge him.
    “Go away, Caleb.”
    “Are you going to make your pretty little crimetech your new mate now that everyone knows Jonas and Ollie are a couple?”
    “You shouldn’t have done that.”
    “No one cared.” Caleb sounded disappointed.
    “I cared.”
    “You didn’t answer my question.”
    “No.” McBride turned sharply on his heel, going off ninety degrees from Caleb. His goal was the big house so he could check and see how Quintus was doing now that he’d fed and Renner had time to bandage his wound. Against his will, McBride pictured himself in the same position that he’d caught Quintus in. The only difference was that it was Caleb offering up his neck, and rather than McBride rubbing his cock, it would be Caleb’s massive fist stroking up and down his length. If he were flexible enough, McBride would love to feed from Caleb while Caleb wrapped his mouth around his cock, but he didn’t think that was humanly possible.
