but didn’t comment on the hand gesture.
    “Okay, Miles and Trevor, these men are the CPB’s Warriors of the Light. Across from you, Miles, is Jensen, Cason—you’ve already met him. Then there’s Cabot, Jace, Finn, Abner and Lachlan. Lachlan has a twin, so if you see two of them walking around that’s why, and his name is Lawson. And Quinn you know.” Ben squinted one eye in thought while he ran through the warriors that were in the house currently. “Oh, I almost forgot, Liam. He’s working on some things in the office right now and couldn’t join us for dinner.”
    “Is that everyone?” Miles asked as he arranged his napkin in his lap.
    “No. There is more of my crew, but they’re out looking for leads on Malcolm and Sayer.”
    Miles nodded his head in understanding. “Well it’s nice to meet you, gentlemen. I hope my cousin and I won’t be too bothersome for you.”
    “Oh, Miles, you won’t be a problem at all. Unlike someone else I know,” Quinn said as he narrowed his eyes on Trevor.
    “Yeah, well you’re a problem too, you wise ass,” Trevor mumbled under his breath.
    “Shall we eat?” Ben quickly changed the subject before Trevor and Quinn got into it again.
    Conversation was plentiful around the table. The warriors found Miles as charming as Ben did. He had a unique personality that drew people in like bees to honey. The man was very personable and actually listened and remember the guys’ names.
    Now where Trevor was concerned, the other guys thought he was just hysterical. Quinn seemed a bit peeved the other men talked with and acknowledged Trevor. Jealousy was clearly written all over his face, but without Quinn admitting anything to him, there was nothing he could do to help his longtime friend.
    Dessert was served, and as they finished up, they drank coffee and sat around the table discussing the plans set in motion to rescue Sayer. Miles really seemed to take the kidnapping of a man he didn’t even know really hard. He offered suggestions and ideas the guys hadn’t even thought of.
    As the night came to a close, Ben and Miles were the only two left at the table. A few of the guys went on patrol while a few went back to the conference room to look over more police reports and maps in search of Malcolm’s hideout.
    Lachlan and Abner took Trevor on a tour of the house so he wouldn’t get lost. Ben noticed that Quinn trailed not too far behind wherever Trevor went.
    Finishing his coffee, he gestured for Miles to come to him. Without hesitation, Miles came to the command. He sat on Ben’s lap and cuddled up close to his chest. Ben sighed his joy at having his mate near to him and be so willing to be touched by him.
    “You like it here so far, baby?” Ben asked as he stroked his fingers through Miles’s hair.
    Miles moaned at the lazy caress against his scalp. “I do.” He pulled away to look into Ben’s eyes. “Just being with you makes everything so worth it.”
    Ben’s lips curled up at the corners, and he dipped his head down to kiss Miles’s rose-colored lips. The kiss was sweetly affectionate to emphasize to Miles just how much he loved him. When they parted, Ben used his hand to rub at Miles’s back.
    “Miles, can I ask you a question?”
    “Sure, Ben, you can ask me anything.” Miles wiggled to get more comfortable on his lap.
    “What’s that little saying you and Trevor say to each other all the time? If it’s private, you don’t have to tell me.”
    Miles chuckled. “No, it’s not private. My and Trev’s mothers are sisters. I was born six months before him, but we were still close enough in age that we became best friends. We lived in a small farming town in Iowa, so we didn’t have a lot of options to meet a lot of people.”
    “Long story short, being gay and living in a small town doesn’t go together. When I realized I was gay, I of course talked to Trevor.” Miles laughed. “I remember so vividly telling him and worrying that he wouldn’t love
