for him and Mac, they dressed quickly and crossed the room to stand beside Echo.
    Mac still hadn’t said a word.
    “Can we just leave him? Will he still be frozen if you leave the room?”
    Echo looked at Sony and shrugged. “I have no idea. If Myst had been the one to do it, I’d say no. Otherwise, they’d have frozen him for the night to begin with.” Smirking, he winked at his friend. “I’m way cooler than that, though.”
    “And I bet it drives your demons crazy.” Sony covered his mouth to muffle his chuckle.
    Echo laughed with him, not bothering to hide his amusement in the situation. The smallest man in the house, and he could kick all their asses at the same time if he wanted. “Oh yeah. They hate it.” The thought made him laugh even harder.
    Backing out of the room, he kept his eyes on Gage, making sure the man stayed in place as Echo moved. Keeping one part of his mind firmly locked on demobilizing the beast, he set the other part of his brain to work, trying to figure out what was going on with everyone.
    “Maybe I should stay with him,” Sony said quietly when they reached the top of the stairs.
    Echo looked over to see Mac clinging to Sony, his arms locked around the man’s waist in a death grip. “No.” He motioned toward Mac. “He needs you more right now.”
    They descended to the first floor, and Echo burst out laughing at the scene that met his gaze. Myst stood to the side of the scuffle, his hands on his hips as he glared down at their lovers. The other demons were locked in various positions of struggle and looked so utterly absurd, Echo couldn’t contain his mirth.
    “Well, I’m glad you find it funny.” Myst growled and sent him a scathing look, which only served to make Echo laugh harder as he gasped for air. “I got them frozen, but it took a lot more to get their mouths to stop moving. I’m exhausted.”
    Echo sauntered over to his pouty lover and placed his palms flat against Myst’s chest. “I’m sorry. Do you need me to kiss it and make it better?”
    Myst’s bottom lips slid out further, and he nodded, giving Echo the biggest puppy dog eyes.
    Smiling at his mate, Echo stretched up on his toes and offered his mouth for a kiss. Myst snorted, but bent and pressed their lips together in a short, but sweet, kiss. “So, what do we do now?”
    “We find out what’s going on.” Echo crossed his arms over his chest and glared down at his frozen mates. “And we get everyone to pull their heads out of their asses and stop acting like a bunch of hyenas.” He glanced around the living room and frowned. “Where’s Syn and Jinx?”
    Myst looked look down at the floor. “They never came out of the basement, and I left them there. I had enough to deal with, thank you very much.”
    “We really need to work on your endurance.” Echo wiggled his eyebrows playfully, letting Myst know just how he planned to improve the man’s stamina. It earned him a chuckle, which was just what he’d been going for.
    “What happened?” Mac asked quietly, his voice trembling as he spoke. “Everyone just went crazy. I don’t get it.”
    “I think I can answer that.” Echo spun around to find Jinx standing in the entryway that led to the kitchen. Syn stood just behind him, looking down at the floor and fidgeting nervously. Jinx grabbed his upper arm and shoved him forward, then nodded once. “Tell them, Syn.”
    “You did this?” Echo snarled and started across the room toward the vampire, but Myst snatched him before he’d even gone three steps.
    “I’m sorry,” Syn mumbled, still looking down at the floor. “I can’t help it. I didn’t mean for any of this to happen.” His voice cracked, and Echo spotted a single tear slip down Syn’s soft cheek. “I’m so sorry. I’ll leave, and everything will go back to how it was.” He looked up at Echo, his eyes red-rimmed and puffy. “Please let Jinx stay,” he pleaded. “Take care of him.”
    Echo sighed heavily, slumping in
