secrets, Nevin had known that he needed to get more guards to keep an eye on the younger man. He just hadn’t done it yet. The constant letters and communications he’d received from his other brothers, Irwin and Waldwick, about Ingo, his erratic behavior and the tension the other man kept creating whenever he was around the other siblings, just let him know that he needed to do something as soon as possible. Once he made sure that Elian was settled in his new role as the Royal Coração he would pay a visit to his younger brother and see if he couldn’t fix whatever the problem was.
    With a plan of action in mind, Nevin turned and headed back out of the bedroom, finding Corbin and Gaige waiting in the hallway for him.
    “How is he?” Gaige asked.
    Nevin smiled at his husbands before nodding. “Much better. Tabansi seems to have calmed him much,” Nevin replied before leading the way down the hallway towards the stairs. Heading downstairs to the library, Nevin’s mind instantly went to kingdom matters. There had been a number of subjects who had arrived at the palace over the last few days complaining of disturbances that they couldn’t explain around their homes. Nevin wasn’t sure how he was supposed to combat something he couldn’t see, but it had been more than one person complaining, and they all came from different areas around the planet, so he couldn’t ignore it.
    Then there was also the Zevinxian problem, which wasn’t really a problem at all. His fathers had been firm in teaching him that Zevinxians were not to be trusted, and while Nevin knew it was a bit of a prejudice on his behalf, he felt the same way about them. Hearing Elian’s laughter drifting down the stairs toward him, Nevin smiled before leading Corbin and Gaige through the library.
    “Well, we did it,” Corbin said with a smile as he headed over to the sideboard to pour them all three fingers of Kardboun, the amber liquid gleaming in the sunlight streaming through the windows. “We found and married our Coração. We are a complete marriage group.”
    Nevin nodded his head with a grin. “That we are. Congratulations, men.” He raised his glass and clinked the edge of it against Corbin and Gaige's glasses. Each man took a sip of the potent brew and fell into silence. Nevin could see that his husbands were deep in thought as they continued to sip from their glasses. He had an idea what they were both thinking and wished he could set their mind at ease, but he couldn’t, especially since his own mind was awash in self-doubts and insecurities.
    They were a complete marriage group, finally official after years of being considered nothing but a core marriage group. Now they were complete... and they were all completely at a loss over how to proceed. How did they ease Elian’s nervousness while at the same time preparing him for what was to come? Letting Elian talk to Tabansi was obviously the right step, but Elian couldn’t talk to Tabansi every day, all day. No, they had to figure out a way to ease their Coração’s mind and heart themselves.
    “So what the fuck do we do now?” Gaige grumbled out, and Nevin chuckled. Leave it to Gaige to get right to the heart of the matter. Nevin shrugged even as his eyes raked over the hardened lines of Gaige’s body. Licking his lips, collecting the last vestiges of his beverage, he stepped closer to Gaige. He watched Gaige’s eyes darken and knew the other man had picked up on the arousal pumping through Nevin’s veins.
    “I have an idea of what we can do,” Nevin rasped out, his voice deeper and huskier from desire. He reached out a hand and ran his fingers through Gaige’s thick, golden tresses, grabbing a handful and jerking the other man’s head back, tilting Gaige’s lips up for his own to devour. He loved that he could be hard and rough with Gaige and that the other man would take it and ask for more. He swallowed Gaige’s moan as he pressed his tongue inside Gaige’s mouth. He
