LEVI

On the fourth day, Chase decided that he needed to meet up with Marc and spend the night formulating a new plan, as their current plan was not yielding any results.

Frustrated, Levi agreed to take the night off and spend some time with the boys down at La Maison. It had been a while since he’d worked anyway.

Given everything that had been going on lately with Chase and Matteo and the search for Peabody, Levi wasn’t feeling very sexy or in a party mood. It was understandable. Occasionally, every dancer fell victim to such a mood. They were only human. Whenever this happened, they all pitched in and helped to cover for each other, working more of the floor and being extra flirty with guests who sought the attention of the affected party. They even took turns checking in with one another to ensure that everything was okay.

Tonight, Levi stood next to the bar and watched as his brothers worked the room. Yes, they were not his biological brothers, but they were his chosen brothers. They had all been rescued from some sort of trauma and had all been bonded in an unspoken pact to be there for one another. To protect each other. To never let one of their brothers suffer at the hands of an unjust and cruel world that had chosen to turn their backs on each of them.

Yes, these sorry lot of young men were all his brothers, and he loved each and every one of them. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for any of these guys, and there was nothing that they wouldn’t do for him.

“So, where’s the boyfriend?” Teo, one of his younger brothers, asked as he pulled up beside him at the bar. “Can I get a water?” he asked the bartender before turning his attention back to Levi.

“First off, he’s not my boyfriend. Secondly, he’s off visiting a friend tonight,” Levi explained, watching Isaac pour a shot of vodka into an older gentleman’s mouth from between his thighs. Alcohol spilled all over the gentleman’s mouth as he licked at the open space between Isaac’s crotch and the bottle of booze.

He had to give it to Isaac. The man really played into that whole bad-boy attitude, let’s get drunk then fuck ‘till the sun comes up, attitude. And the men around him were really digging it.

Currently, Isaac was dancing on a table in the middle of four Greek men—each looking hornier than the last.

“Seems like Sonic’s going to be working every one of his holes and limbs tonight,” Teo joked, turning to watch their blue-haired brother shake his ass.

“I’ll put security on alert just in case his sleepover gets out of hand. I don’t like it when Isaac takes on so many men at once,” Levi added.

“Sounds like someone’s jealous.”

“Not in the least. I just worry about the guy’s safety. He can fight off one or two guys if he has to, but four is more than any one man can handle.”

“He likes his orgies,” Teo added.

Levi gave Teo a look that told him to stop being a smart-ass.

“Okay, I’ll see if I can convince Isaac to at least let Jared join in on the action. Most guys who are into Isaac are also into Jared. They’ve got the same… look and feel.”

What Teo was trying to say in a polite way was that both men had a rough, manly look about them, and both were into… rougher sex.

Teo, on the other hand, was the resident hippie. He did yoga every fucking morning, and he drank tea and all sorts of weird green and bright orange concoctions he had the audacity to call drinks. All the guys took turns joining Teo for his morning yoga sessions—mainly because they didn’t want him to feel alone. Many of the guys who worked at La Maison had trust and abandonment issues. Let’s just say that sifting through the minds of any of the boys who worked at La Maison would be any psychologist's wet dream.

“That sounds like a good idea, T. I’d appreciate that.”

Teo took his bottle of water and sashayed his way over to the group of rowdy men salivating over a sweaty Isaac. He raised his arms and started dancing alongside the blue-haired ball of energy, mashing their bodies together and giving the horny Greeks a show to remember.

“Well, why is it that the sexiest man alive is hanging out all by himself?”

Levi’s breath caught in his chest. This was the last voice that he ever expected to hear. Swallowing hard, he turned slowly to meet the smiling face of Mr. Peabody. The man’s pale blue eyes gleamed as his lips pulled back into a welcoming smile.

Trying to calm himself, Levi put on the biggest smile he could muster.

“Mr. Peabody! What are you doing here?” Levi asked, taking a step forward and wrapping his arms around the gentleman’s thin shoulders. “It’s so great to see you again after all this time.”

Levi could feel his heart beating in his throat as he tried to regain control over his emotions and not act like he was speaking to a potential serial killer. They still didn’t know if the rumor was true or if it was just the ramblings of a sick individual. Did Peabody kidnap people? What did he do with them afterward? Not knowing the truth was making Levi think all sorts of crazy things.

“Well, it’s been a while, and I was feeling rather lonely, so I thought I would stop by and see my favorite little friend.”

Mr. Peabody was always so polite and gentle, even if he sometimes said or did things a little differently than others.

“Shall we grab a booth?” Levi asked, motioning toward a booth off in the corner.

He glanced around, hoping to catch Matteo’s attention. Mr. Peabody was here! In the château. He needed to let Chase know.
