Stay away from me!" Tucker shouted as Gavin came closer He quickly twisted around and hurled hied outside directly into a fa off the elevator onto the open ay outside the hotel room Amid the startled squeals of thebeach towels, floats and oversized beach bags, Tucker h them on the croay and into the elevator, frantically punching buttons while Gavin tried to navigate around theet to him
As soon as he reached the botto over his shoulder as he heard Gavin barreling down the stairway after hiot inside and ran over to the hotel’s front desk, where a large crowd of college students was in the et to safety, he knocked the bags out of a young girl’s hand, and by the ti to an astonished hotel clerk to call the police, he turned to find that Gavin had co wheel with his hand, and glared at the rearviewto see cop cars behind hiated the noonday traffic on the strip Once he’d allowed Tucker to escape, he’d gotten to his car i roo them of what had happened--a o into his roo door and clean up all evidence that he’d been there before clearing out hiroup and then topoint so for the police to figure out his entire group had registered at the saether Now they had to ditch their rental cars and find new ones, as well as another place to stay And all because he couldn’t keep his hands off Tucker Damn it!

"Okay," Gavin said, taking a deep breath "You see, I kind of--I took him back to my room and--damn it, Richard, there’s no easy way to say this Tucker is my blood silence on the other end of the line "Your bloodmate?"
"Yes I didn’t know any other way to tell you other than to just blurt it out I didn’t know--I mean, I kneas attracted to him, but then when I was in the same room with him, I…" "Have you-have you mated with him yet?"
"No Well, not exactly I mean, I’ve uh…you know, been with hi to you like this about your son But no, I haven’t given hiree to it--not feel like hedidn’t have any choice in this thing"
"I see" Another tense little silence fell between thean to chuckle softly
"Richard?" Gavin said unbelievingly "Are you okay?"
"I’m sorry, Gavin, it’s all just a little much, even for the bloodmatch Somebody up there has a very wicked sense of humor when it co way to prove it"
