The Trouble With Trying to Save an Assassin (Murder Sprees and Mute Decrees #2)

by Jennifer Cody

Dakota gives his husband a wicked grin and dip-kisses him right in front of the front door, inches away from Bellamy, and close enough to me that I can basically feel their love in my dic—heart. In my heart. I’m not turned on by two of the hottest men alive kissing like they’re about to go find a private corner; you are. These are my future in-laws.

“WHO HURT MY GRANDBABY?” The boom of Bear’s voice pulls me out of a perfectly wonderful street makeout, and I turn to face one of Fox’s other fathers. Bear is the human donor to Fox’s genetics, and he lives up to his name. He also looks like Thor and Captain America had a baby with Superman.

Fox returns that with more rock banging, a couple of barking yells and a weird yipping sound. I have answered Ylvis’ infamous question: What Does the Fox Say? Fox says, bang bang, clack, whoop-whoop, yip-yip-yip-yipeeeeeeeee, aroooooo. It’s a little embarrassing to watch until Bellamy grabs one of Fox’s sticks and starts banging on the rocks, then he too aroooos into the phone. Now it’s just really bizarre. The answer that comes back is just befuddling—a scream like a woman dying in the woods. I am disturbed. The love of my life is not and neither is our kid.
