. Hello there. A young man with wide shoulders and a friendly smile waved from atop a sorrelhorse. Sorry about that.I didn t hit you, did I? Nate shook his head. No, you didn t hit me. He held up the ball. Would you like this back? Yes, please.Are you the earl? the horseman asked. Yes, and who might you be? Nate tossed the ball out. I m Prince Colton.Pleasure to meet you, milord. He tipped his head and heeled his mount offtoward the ball.Colton? The second to youngest prince.Judging from the looks of him and the similarity to theother two gentlemen Nate had seen since his arrival, he realized they were probably siblings.GoodGalaxy, the royal family was a handful.He was starting to get a suspicion as to why Jeffers was shutdown.Stepping away from the window, a rustling sound made Nate stop mid-stride.Leaves rained down and a grunt came from above. Bloody black hole and imploding stars, a soft masculine voicehissed.Way up in the tree closest to the window, a boy balanced precariously on a thin tree limb.Hereached toward a flat computer screen of some sort that had snagged on an adjacent branch.At hisunbalanced angle a fall seemed imminent.Likely a shout to be careful would bring the teenplummeting to the ground, so Nate raced to a set of French doors on his left.Hurrying outside, he gotto the base of the tree just as the branch the kid balanced on snapped. Whoa. The boy wobbled and fell against the limb holding the computer, knocking the deviceloose. Dust! The flat screen clipped only one bough before falling free.Nate caught it before it hit the ground.The young man gasped, his gaze meeting Nate s.Nate started.The boy no, that wasn t right, he was young, yes, but not a lad was absolutelygorgeous.Nate stared into the big gray eyes, mesmerized.The man was simply beautiful.He had asmall frame that had, at first, deluded Nate into thinking him a child.A mass of ebony curlssurrounded a handsome face, and a full bottom lip was caught between even white teeth. Uh, thanks.I, uh Whoa. The man s booted feet slid off the tree, leaving him dangling from hishands ten feet in the air.Nate set the computer screen down and held his arms out. I ve got you.Drop. Uh& Drop. Okay.Please don t miss. The man let go with a reluctant whimper.The negligible weight landed in Nate s outstretched arms.He bent his knee slightly to keep fromjarring the young man.Nate glanced at the handsome face and his gut clenched.Up close the man seyes were the color of molten steel.He had flawless ivory skin and full lips.The heat of his bodypressed against Nate s chest made his cock stir.The man was slim and not very tall, but he had broadshoulders that spoke of nice muscles under the well-tailored clothes.What he wouldn t give to seethis slim body completely bare of clothing and those pretty lips wrapped around his hard cock.Closing his eyes, Nate concentrated on getting his pulse back to normal.He was here on a mission,not to get involved.Besides, this was most likely his hosts offspring.He opened his eyes in time to see a pink tongue dart out and wet the beguiling lips.Nate s cockfully erect now strained against the placket of his pantaloons.The man s gaze roamed over Nate s face as long, elegant fingers came up to trace his beard. Who are you? he asked in a seductive whisper.Nate hadn t even realized he d leaned forward until the smaller man jerked, nearly spillinghimself out of Nate s arms.Setting the man on his feet, Nate watched him straighten his waistcoat.When he brushed off his trousers, he seemed to realize he had a problem.Good, the young lord wasn t unaffected, just surprised.Not, of course, that it mattered.Natewasn t interested.Yeah, right.He bowed. Nathaniel Hawkins, Earl of Deverell. The younger man s gray eyes shot wide and he hastily tried to hide his obvious erection.Hesquirmed before spotting his computer.Picking up the screen, he held it in front of his groin and metNate s gaze.His enticing mouth formed an O , followed by an inhalation of air, then the man blinkedand shook his head as if to clear it. Thank you for rescuing me, milord.I, uh, got my screen caught onthe way up. Nate was about to ask the man s name and why he was in the tree in the first place when an olderversion of the young man appeared in the window
