The pheromone's fading effect suddenly flared up again. Gara gave a smug little smile and almost like a challenge to Madha.
The tall man leaned in once more, brushing quick kisses across Gara's face before ending with a soft, lingering sip of the beautiful man's lips in his arms.
A shiver ran through Gara. His hand lifted, about to touch Madha's face but stopped midway.
His babies! He suddenly remembered them, especially little Ava, who was probably still crying in the room.
"The children," Gara murmured, snapping Madha back to his senses.
Reluctantly, Madha released him, though his eyes lingered with unspoken longing. "I'll go cool off with a cold bath first, then I'll help you watch over them."
Gara nodded. He figured Madha would be a while. He didn't just need a bath, but… other things, too.
He slipped back into the bedroom, only to be greeted by Ava's cries once again.
