and Morgan had also been away, so this would
    the first time the two brothers would actually meet Alexis.
    Clark looked toward the approaching Angel and gritted his teeth
    when he realized Alexis had an arm around Angel’s shoulders. Layton
    whistled. “He sure does move fast.”
    “They’re not like that,” Clark bit out. “Just friends.”
    “No offense, Clark,” Morgan piped up, “but incubi don’t have
    friends. They have friends with benefits.”
    Morgan’s comment didn’t help Clark’s temper any. So far, he
    hadn’t smelled sex on Angel, but that didn’t mean anything. God,
    Alexis was stealing Angel from him.
    The two young men finally reached the table. As usual, Angel sat
    next to Clark, which made him feel a bit better. Of course, he’d have been even more pacified had Alexis not plopped down next to Angel.
    “Hi, guys,” Angel greeted them. “This is Alexis Whitaker. Alexis,
    my friends. Morgan and Layton Pierce-Cunningham and Reed
    Denning-Holden.”
    “It’s nice to meet you,” Reed said.
    Alexis grinned at them. “Likewise.” He tilted his head at Reed and
    gave him an inquiring look. He seemed to want to say something but
    decided against it at the last moment. He then turned toward the
    bemused-looking brothers. “Oh, I know you. Well, of you. Your dad’s
    Byron Cunningham, right?”
    Layton nodded. “Yup. Well, one of them at least. My other dad is
    Skylar Cunningham.”
    Clark knew for a fact that Layton and Morgan practically
    worshipped their parents, so the answer didn’t surprise him. However, Alexis’s next comment made his mind go blank for a few moments.

    “Is it true your dad has two penises? Oh, oh, and did you inherit
    it?”
    Alexis leaned over the table, looking very interested and eager to
    hear about Byron Cunningham’s genitals. Layton had turned an
    interesting shade of purple, and he released a noise that sounded like a cross between a muttered curse and a pop. Clark braced himself for
    the explosion, but it never came.
    Morgan placed a hand on his brother’s shoulder and smiled
    pleasantly at Alexis. “And I hear incubi are gender-neutral. Does that mean you can’t get hard? Do you get a period like women? Can you
    give birth?”
    For a few moments, Alexis just stared at Morgan. He then burst
    into laughter. “Touché.” He sat back down next to Angel. “I’d love to answer those questions but in private,” he purred.
    “Then maybe you’ll find out then if I have two dicks, huh?”
    “Maybe.”
    By now, everyone in the cafeteria was paying attention to them.
    Thankfully, Layton put a stop to the now-disturbing conversation. “All right, can we stop talking about penises and erections at breakfast, please?”
    “Sure. We can continue at lunch,” Alexis replied.
    Angel sighed deeply, something that told Clark he dealt with this
    kind of attitude on a regular basis. “Let’s just get some food, Alexis, okay?”
    “Whatever you say, my sweet seraphim,” Alexis replied cheekily.
    He winked at Clark and got up. “Let’s go.”
    As Angel and Alexis headed toward the cafeteria counters, Reed
    released a breathless laugh. “Wow.”
    “Wow is right.” Morgan grinned. “He’s hot.”
    Layton elbowed his brother in the stomach. “Don’t even think
    about it.”
    Clark was actually quite pleased about Morgan’s apparent interest
    in the incubus. If he could get the shark to distract the incubus, Angel 36
    Scarlet Hyacinth
    would be safe. “Well, he does seem to be interested in you, so if you like him…”
    Layton gave him a betrayed look, but the conversation couldn’t
    continue, as Angel and Alexis returned to the table. They were
    carrying trays with their respective breakfasts. Idly, Clark noticed Alexis’s only held an apple. He wondered if it was an incubus thing or just vanity that made Alexis wanted to be on a perpetual diet.
    Alexis bit into the apple and grinned over the table at Morgan.
    “So,
