We’ll take good care of him.”
    “As if he were our own child,” Marlen agreed.
    “Oh, God,” Andrew whispered. “Please don’t tell him that.”
    Marlen grinned. “We’ll be discreet, but I think it’s too late to hide the fact we want you.”
    “Probably.” The wrens had announced to pretty much everyone in town that they considered Andrew their mate. Still trying to recover from the idea of the young shifters trying to act fatherly to a man their own age, Andrew agreed. “Fine. You two go get him. I’ll give him a call and let him know to expect you.”
    He needed to get away right now before he began to agree to things he couldn’t take back. They were sweet and young, and had a blind spot the size of Texas regarding Andrew’s suitability.
    Andrew gave them James’ location then climbed in his car and sped away. Maybe he could have his courage replenished at the hospital. It had apparently leaked out of his cock.

    “I think that went well.” Marlen watched Andrew’s vehicle fly away over the hill.
    Chen nodded at the cloud of dust forming into the air behind their fleeing mate. “Yes, I think we’re wearing him down. He’s letting us talk to the kid on our own.”
    Considering Andrew’s protective streak towards his child, Chen regarded his capitulation as a victory. They had to take advantage of their mate’s moment of weakness.
    “I think the kid’s as old as we are,” Marlen reminded him.
    “Then we should be able to find some middle ground.” Chen grinned, unperturbed by Marlen’s concerns. His mate had always been the worrier between the two of them. Chen preferred action. If they got James on their side, that would be one less barrier Andrew could use to block their mating.
    “Maybe.” Marlen bit his thumbnail.
    Chen heard his mate’s stomach growl. Wrens had faster metabolisms than most shifters, causing them to eat constantly. Unfortunately, when they were nervous that became even worse.
    “We can grab some takeout after we get James. Maybe he’d like a bite with us.” Chen patted Marlen’s back before transforming into his wren form. Marlen followed. They had to fly home to fetch their car and some clothes since they’d flown to visit Andrew.
    Luckily they didn’t live too far away and within minutes they were driving towards James’ location. “Don’t look so nervous,” Chen scolded as he drove their battered car down the dirt road. “It’s not like we haven’t met him before.”
    “Never on our own. And you know how much Andrew loves his son. If James hates us then we have no chance to win our mate.” Marlen sighed. His nervous energy crackled between them like a living beast.
    “He’s not going to like you better if you puke on his shoes,” Chen snapped. He’d run out of patience for Marlen’s negative thinking. “We need to be optimistic. Andrew is ours. He just has to get used to the idea.”
    “Do you think he’ll agree to be our mate soon?” The pain in Marlen’s voice smoothed over the edges of Chen’s irritation.
    Waiting for their mate to acknowledge them was grinding across Chen’s soul like a sharp pebble at the bottom of his shoe, hobbling his spirit.
    Chen sighed. “Truthfully, I don’t know if he will ever give in to our mate bond. I don’t think he’ll abandon us even if humans don’t feel the bond like shifters, or at least I don’t think so. I don’t know any human-shifter pairs.”
    “Yeah, me either.” Marlen’s despair whispered across their connection.
    They both worried that Andrew could live quite well without them.
    “I refuse to give up on him. He’s responding to us, you’ve seen him. Besides if he touches another person, man or woman, I will kill them.” Chen gritted his teeth over the thought of anyone else romantically involved with their man. He could accept Andrew’s reticence over being with two men so much younger than himself, but he wouldn’t allow their human to find a
