face. Through half-lidded eyes, he watched Vapre lick him clean then struggle up to his knees, his hand a mere blur as he stroked his straining cock furiously.
    “C’mere,” Echo slurred, and pushed up on one elbow.
    Vapre didn’t even question it. He inched forward, palmed the back of Echo’s head, and pushed inside his willing mouth with a long, low, groan of pleasure.
    Too exhausted to move, Echo let Vapre set the pace as he clamped his lips around the hard flesh. Vapre pumped twice, three times, then pushed to the back of Echo’s throat as he howled out his release.
    Echo backed off just enough to catch his mate’s seed on his tongue, letting it pool there before swallowing it down quickly. Mmm, he loved the taste of his men.
    “Sweet hell,” Vapre panted, pulling out of Echo’s mouth and sitting back on his heels. “I needed that.”
    The others murmured their agreement, including Echo. Syx’s flaccid cock slipped from his hole, and cum began to dribble down Echo’s crease, which led him to another thought. “How the hell are we supposed to clean up?”

    “You assholes are damn loud,” Pax complained when Syx and his lovers finally emerged from the tent. The sun was fully up, and the two shifters already had coffee brewing over the campfire.
    “So are they,” Jet mumbled as he jerked his thumb toward Gage and Mac’s tent. “How a person is supposed to sleep through all that damn noise, I don’t know.”
    Syx frowned. Not because he felt embarrassed or guilty about what he’d done with his men, but because he thought Pax and Jet were lovers as well.
    “So, did you jerk off?” Myst asked with a wicked grin. “Did it get your motor running?”
    “Oh, I got a nice wake-up blow job,” Jet tossed back, smiling just as mischievously. “Just saying it would have been nice if that blow job had come a couple of hours later.” He leaned over and kissed Pax’s temple. “Thank you.”
    Pax flushed, but smiled in return. “Anytime, love.”
    Syx laughed under his breath. Okay, so at least he’d been right about one thing. Not only were the shifters heating up the sheets, they cared about each other. He didn’t know if it was love, and it wasn’t really any of his business, but there was a deep bond there, nonetheless.
    “So, what are we doing today?” Echo asked around a yawn. “Well, after I get to shrivel my balls off in the fucking stream. I really wish I had thought that through before I ended up with cum dripping down my thighs.”
    Pax and Jet roared with laughter, falling against each other and hugging their sides. “Why do you think we went with blow jobs?” Jet gasped.
    “Yeah, well, you didn’t have four horny men to please, either,” Echo countered with an arched eyebrow.
    Jet continued to laugh, but nodded. “Point taken.”           
    “Well, I have an idea of how to find this cave. I can’t guarantee it will work, but it’s worth a shot.” Everyone sobered immediately and turned to look at Syx. He fought not to fidget under the scrutiny. With Hex gone, and Eyce at home, the leadership fell to him. It wasn’t a role he assumed often, and he hated having everyone waiting for his next command.
    “So, let’s hear it,” Echo prodded. “What’s the plan?”
    “I’m going to try to look inside Pax’s and Jet’s minds. Even if they don’t remember how to get to the cave, maybe something in their memories will give us a clearer idea of where to begin our search.”
    Echo beamed at him. “That’s a brilliant idea.”
    Syx dipped his head in gratitude before addressing the shifters. “Do you think if you shifted that maybe you could scent out the place? I know it’s been a while, and it’s snowed twice since then, but maybe you can pick up something.”
    Jet and Pax looked at each other then back up to Syx. “Yeah, we can try,” Pax answered slowly. “Just don’t freak, okay?”
    “You’ve said that before.” Echo stepped in front of Syx and
