Shay POV-


Mike left shortly after our hug with the promise that he would go home and plan a special night out with his husband, Aaron,  while Benji and Roman promised not to call on him so much. They're big boys and can drive themselves around.

The two of them take their seats around the table while I head back into the kitchen to warm up our lunch. Knowing how everything works with that bitch Maria makes me feel better and has boosted most of my confidence. Not only in me but in the new relationship that we are planning on building. Knowing that they will do anything possible to make me feel special, comfortable, and at ease just makes my heart soar and my spirit feel free. 

Looking in the direction of the table I notice that both of the boy are focus on various tasks. Roman is  switching between his phone, probably checking his emails, and reading the stock portion of the newspaper. Benji on the other hand has a book in his hands. I have no idea what book he is reading or that he even read things outside of work stuff. 

"Dear, what book are you reading?" I ask him. I  watch as his head quickly turns in my direction and his cheeks turn a bright red. Roman quickly shakes his head no like he doesn't want me to know what the book is about.

"Well uh to be honest, I have a thing for Paranormal Romance so this book is apart of a series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, my favorite author, called "the Dark-Hunters series". This book is called "Seize the Night", it's number six in the series and I think there are around twenty-five in the series now maybe more. It's about ancient warriors from different parts of the world like Greece, Romania, Italy etc. who have all been killed in a horrible way by the people closest to them. With their dying breath they vow revenge on those who have wronged them. So the goddess Artemis comes down from her temple to grant them their wish but after that they have to continue working for her and killing Daimons that eat human souls to continue their own lives. So they are called Dark-Hunters. The only way to break the life of servitude from Artemis is to fine true love and the goddess has to return your soul to you. It's a really interesting series and I'm in the process of collecting all the books in this series but I refuse to buy the next book until I read the one before it. It's kind of my guilty pleasure but it brings my joy."

At some point during the overview of the book Roman placed his head on the table and plugged his ears. I guess Benji has told him about the series a few times too many . Oh well, it does sound like a good book, something I would be interested in. 

"Sounds amazing, I might have to read it for myself there love." I send a wink his way before bringing plates to the table. Roman looks at me like I've just grown a second head but to be honest the book does sound interesting. I do love a good romance novel whether paranormal or not. 

"Well, I have the first six so knock yourself out little one. I'll continue to buy the new ones as I finish the previous book. "

I send no verbal response his way but I do smile at him. This could be something that him and I bond over. Even if I don't like the book I will read it so him and I can have our "nerd" moments. 

Once all the food is warmed up and placed on the table, we dig in. It's clear that the boys live off of take out and microwavable food because they are inhaling the food like there is no tomorrow. You would think they hadn't eaten in weeks. 

"Boy's take your time. There is more food, no worries. You'll make your stomachs hurt if you keep eating like that."

They both exchange glances with each other before they continue to eat just like before. Oh well, boys will be boys, I guess.

"Boys, I'm home" says a new voice.

All of us stop what we are doing and look towards the door. There in the hallway stands the last person either of us would have expected. 

Standing there with bandage on her face and a different change of clothes, Maria has her arms wide open and a fake smile on her face like she's expecting the boys to run into her arms. There are six or seven suitcases next to her on the floor and her toes are curling over the lip of her shoes looking like claws. 

Nobody but her has uttered a word, we're all shocked that she managed to get into the house first off. Who the hell gave this bitch a key!?! Honestly, it doesn't matter because I'm about to knock this bitch to Timbuctoo. Flipping my chair over, I make a beeline straight for her botoxed faced with a fork. This bitch got another thing coming if she thinks I'm about to let her walk up into a house that isn't even hers. 

I watch her eyes change form and become round and scared but at this point I don't give a flying fuck. After everything that happened today and the shit that they told me, the bitch is about to get these hands brah!

Sadly I never make it to her. Why? Roman and Benji punk ass don't want me to put her in the hospital. One of them grabs me while the other pries the fork from my death grip. THEY WANT THIS BITCH TO LIVE!?! HOW? WHY? OH HELL NAW!!!!
