Ozni pushed his fingers through Porter's hair for the first few minutes, relaxing the human as his breathing evened out and his heart slowed. The urge to draw the human burrowed deep in him and refused to let up.

He grabbed the cell phone he rarely used and sent a message off to Jaygen first.

Ozni: Porter is in my room.

Jaygen: Is he okay? Do you need me to come?

Ozni hesitated for a second. He felt in control and even kissed Porter without any bloodlust raging through him.

Ozni: No, he just had a bad dream.

Jaygen: Okay. Watch over our human.

Ozni stared at the message, Jaygen hadn’t second guessed him or demanded that he come to watch over Porter himself. Instead the tiger shifter trusted Ozni. The validation did funny things to him, twisting his stomach and filling it with butterflies.

He placed the phone back down. Jaygen had always communicated that he trusted Ozni but, to have it shown in such a way... It was validating.

Porter was wrapped around Ozni's torso with his head resting on his abdomen. Oz had his sketchbook in hand and went about drawing. He glanced down for reference every now and then but he could probably draw Porter with his eyes closed.

"Oz, do you love Cyrus?" Porter's voice broke the comfortable silence they had settled into.

Ozni continued to draw, a smile tilting his lips as he thought about the incubus that made his dead heart feel as if it beat once more. Glancing down at Porter once he'd finished the outline Ozni met Porter’s deep brown eyes.

"I believe so," Ozni said.But as a monster did he deserve love?

A bright smile appeared on Porter's face. "Good, you two belong together."

Before Porter could look away from him, Ozni placed his sketch book down and gripped Porter's chin lightly. Ozni had a hard time believing he was worthy of any of them. But he could not change what he felt for him either. The connections that now tied them together. "We all belong together."

Porter's eyes widened but he didn't argue. "I'd never want to get in the way—"

Ozni shook his head and pulled Porter on top of him as the human straddled his waist. It was risky but Ozni needed Porter to understand that even with their individual relationships they each needed each other in one way or another.

But Ozni was never good with his words, so he pulled Porter close and hugged him before cupping his face and kissing him gently. He lightly nipped Porter's lips, and as he got hard he made sure to roll his hips so Porter could feel it. He wanted Porter just as much as he wanted Cyrus.

A small whimper left Porter and Ozni ate it up wanting to pull more out of the human. His hands tightened on Porter's hips; no doubt if he held him any longer he'd leave bruises on his tan skin. The thought sent a shiver down Ozni's spine and he knew he needed to stop. He wanted Porter without a doubt but he didn't trust himself yet. The last thing he wanted to do was lose control and hurt him.

Ozni pulled back from the kiss. Porter's face was flushed and his pupils were dilated. Heat swam in his brown eyes as he sucked in ragged breaths. "Okay, umm." Porter cleared his throat. "So you want me too?" A soft chuckle bubbled out of Porter. His lips pressed softly against Ozni in a too short kiss. "I'm really happy. I want you too, Oz."

Ozni hadn't thought anything could make the day any better but he was very wrong. Just those simple words from Porter had him wanting to be better to be worthy of Porter in every way.

Porter yawned and Ozni rolled them over. For now, he'd just cuddle with Porter, but in the future, maybe there would be more.

"Oz, I know you have your hang-ups and stuff. And I'll respect that but—" Porter looked up at him and Ozni was frozen in place waiting for his next words.

"I see you as more than the scary monster you think you are. I see the quiet and soft you. And the you that's demanding without uttering a word. I want all of you, Ozni." Porter sighed and pressed his face against Ozni's chest where he placed a gentle kiss over Ozni's non-beating heart.

Cyrus had said something similar to him once.Could it be possible that they wanted Ozni, his monster side and all?

He could only hope.

The theme tonight was siblings.

“Careful, you’re my only little sister. You mustn't go anywhere without me. Got it?” Jaygen said.

The client swooned on the spot. “Yes.” A blush crept up her neck and filled her cheeks. Jaygen sat her down. His gaze discreetly wandered around the area. He found Ozni with Porter. Porter looked entirely too good playing the younger sibling. They were putting on a show for their clients.He was safe.

Jaygen’s gaze skirted around and it landed on Foi and Cyrus. They were two brats put together and their client had the fun of having a wild older brother and a bratty, sweet little brother.
