"We are going on vacation,"Jaygen announced.
"We’re what?" Porter and Cyrus said in unison.
Ozni cocked a brow at him and Foi looked preoccupied with trying to peek under Porter's skirt. The human slapped his hand away.
"We've all been working hard and after crunching the numbers and looking them over, we can afford to go."
"Really? What about the bar? Arden won't have enough hosts," Porter stressed.
Jaygen nodded. "Don't worry about that. Arden has already contacted Sinful Pleasures over in Oxdale."
Oxdale was another supernatural city. Humans ran most of the world but the few cities the supernatural called home were vastly connected.
"Wow, that's halfway across the world," Porter said.
"Yes but Arden has a few friends there. I already cleared this vacation with him, so everyone get ready. Our plane leaves in five hours."
"What?" Cyrus shouted. "That's not nearly enough time. What's the weather like where we’re going? What are some attractions? How many days? Will I have a chance to change outfits multiple times in a day?"
Jaygen was tempted to pack for all of them. It was far more efficient and faster that way. But he knew that they'd need to stay busy or they were going to get under his skin about why they were leaving on a random vacation.
"We are going to a lake house. It is mostly cloudy but still warm. And Cyrus you are limited to two suitcases. Any other questions?"
"Two?" Porter pouted. "My shoes take up a whole one."
They were going to be the death of him. Jaygen blew out a breath.
"You can take mine, Porter. I only need a duffle bag," Foi said.
"Aww, thanks Puppy!”
Who in their right mind only needed a duffle bag?A growl slipped free of Jaygen before he could fully catch it. He took in measured breaths. "That's not how this is going to go. Foi pack properly. Porter, you will only get two suitcases. If it doesn't fit, it's not going. Cyrus, don't try and smuggle some of your things into Ozni's bag." Jaygen stood up taller and looked each of them in the eyes. "Am I clear?"
"Someone needs a vacation," Foi joked.
Jaygen cut his gaze to the wolf shifter and his upper lip curled up as he growled in warning. Porter muffled his laughter.
"Okay, sorry Jaygen. We will all go get packed up," Porter said. He pushed Cyrus out of the room and Foi quickly followed behind them.
Jaygen shook his head, they drove him insane but he, oddly, never wanted them to stop.
Ozni laid a hand on his shoulder and Jaygen caught the daywalker smiling at him. Yeah, he got it. So much had changed since they'd joined together and it was all thanks to a certain human.
"Is everything okay?" Ozni asked.
Jaygen nodded. "Yes."
Ozni stood there for another second and they stared into each other's eyes. Jaygen didn't want to tell him about the mafia roaming around looking for Porter. Or the fact that they were getting closer and closer to Paranormal Guilty Delights. Jaygen's plan was still getting ironed out and there was no way they were ready to strike yet. Everything had to be perfect or they could potentially lose Porter. And Jaygen would be damned if he allowed any more harm to come to the beautiful human.
Ozni nodded before exiting the room, leaving Jaygen to his own thoughts. Jaygen's head fell back as he took in a deep breath, his eyes closing momentarily as he centered himself. This was for the best. He not only needed to protect Porter, but the others as well. They had quickly become something more to Jaygen. He wasn't sure what to call it yet but he knew he couldn't risk losing any of them.
Jaygen shook himself free of the melancholy feeling and went about packing. The organization of his suitcases made him feel more at ease. There was nothing like placing things in perfect order.
Zipping up the suitcase, Jaygen was done in a matter of minutes. He checked his phone before making his way down the hall. He knocked on Foi's door first.
The door opened and Jaygen held back a growl. Clothes were everywhere. Literally tossed about as if wild boars lived there.
Foi smirked at him and dropped down to his unmade bed. "What can I do for you, Mr. Kitty?"
