 <\/p>\n

Well so far I’m keeping up with the ‘snippets’ for the month!!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“He’s where?” Murphy at least sounded calmer, than his brother looked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cadfael sighed, looked heavenward, crossed himself then looked at the two Hunters.\u00a0 “He’s with Hugh, and they went to the beach.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Without us?”\u00a0 Connor gave the Monk a pointed look.\u00a0 “We are his protectors.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“You’re also his Mates…”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Aye, which means we should know where he is.”\u00a0 Murphy wouldn’t yell at the Monk, but his Mate would be fair game when they find them.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Hugh is perfectly capable of protecting young Patrick!”\u00a0 Cadfael gave them both a stern look.\u00a0 “And as much as I love you boys, almost like the nephews I never had.”\u00a0 That got them both grinning.\u00a0 “You can be intense, and sometimes overwhelming.\u00a0 Especially to a young man, who is starting to learn to what it’s like to live outside the constraints of the cloth.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We don’t like him not with in our sight.”\u00a0 Connor took a deep breath.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I hate to tell you this boys, but you will be sent out on Hunts that you can’t take him.\u00a0 And at one point God will call him back into service.”\u00a0 He had no doubt what the boys went through made them hyper aware of their Mate, and no one really blamed them, least of all Patrick.\u00a0 \u00a0But they also needed to get used to him doing things outside their comfort zone.\u00a0 “Hugh teaching him how to surf, and if you must know Draco is also with him.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Both eyerolled.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Do not underestimate Draco, he uses the snotty attitude as weapon, don’t forget that he’s a damn formidable warrior under those suits.”\u00a0 Cadfael pointed at the two of them.\u00a0 “Like to point out what happened the last time you two dismissed a threat.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Connor laughed remembering the moment.\u00a0 “How is Lennox’s knitting skills?”<\/span><\/p>\n

“He sent me a lovely scarf for Christmas.”\u00a0 Cadfael smiled with pride.\u00a0 “I know you’re going to run off, so some advice.\u00a0 Well never mind, not like you listen anyway.\u00a0 And really you’ll learn quickly not to piss off your Mate sooner or later.\u00a0 \u00a0Do not forget the family he comes from, calm waters run very deep.”<\/span><\/p>\n

***<\/span><\/p>\n

The two boys slipped off their jackets, and their more visible weapons put them in the boot of the car before heading down to the beach.\u00a0 \u00a0From their position they could see Hugh working with Patrick, while Draco was staying on the beach keep watch.\u00a0 At least it was a secluded beach, and at the moment they were the only ones within a kilometer.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What they weren’t expecting, was how hot Patrick looked wearing a wetsuit, hair soaking wet, a delighted smile and was laughing with joy.\u00a0 He looked healthy and happy, and their thoughts were extremely sinful!\u00a0 \u00a0Most were under the impression, that the three hadn’t fully Mated.\u00a0 \u00a0At first they hadn’t, Patrick had a lot of healing to do, and well they themselves had stuff to deal with.\u00a0 It had always been them, they never relied on anyone except their Pa and even not all the time.\u00a0 \u00a0So it was an adjustment for them to have a third, let alone someone whose whole world perspective was different than theirs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But they took the advice given with by everyone, kept their own counsel on their relationship, and let Patrick set the pace.\u00a0 \u00a0They were themselves, answered questions bluntly, never teased but adored the blush that came from it.\u00a0 They let him reach out physically, and when he had questions beyond what they could actually talk about, they had suggested Master David – despite the fact they were banned from the place decades before.<\/span><\/p>\n

No one talks about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, they all Bonded together.\u00a0 They found their footing in the relationship.\u00a0 \u00a0They will always first be protectors, mates and then lovers.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But at this moment – they were so damn Turned on it wasn’t even funny.\u00a0 Who knew wetsuits did it for them, only problem getting it off.<\/span><\/p>\n

By the time they made it down to the beach, Patrick was standing waiting for them with a small smile.\u00a0 “What brings you two here?”<\/span><\/p>\n

Connor just waved his hand up and down indicating their Mate, Murphy rolled his eyes and hit his brother.\u00a0 “Did know you surfed.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Hugh’s been teaching me.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Who?”<\/span><\/p>\n

“FUCK YOU!”\u00a0 Hugh yelled from the water, followed closely by.\u00a0 “Sorry Patrick.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“They deserved it.”\u00a0 He gave his Mates a pointed look, but could feel their low level arousal.\u00a0 “I was going to try for a few more waves.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’ll just sit and watch.”\u00a0 Murphy dragged his brother over to the blankets Draco had set out, and settled down just to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

“You two are so damn obvious.”\u00a0 Draco shook his head laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n

“And how does your two feel about you surfing?”\u00a0 Connor asked eyes not leaving Patrick’s arse as he swam out into the ocean.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They hate trying to get it off.”\u00a0 He gave them a wink.\u00a0 “Tip, strip it off in a shower much smoother.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
