Alexei's Mouse

&ldquo;Are you almost ready for the second book, little mouse?&rdquo; Alexei stood next to the bed.


His Mate glanced up at him. &ldquo;I have only one more   to read. I should be done by tomorrow morning.&rdquo;


Alexei laughed. &ldquo;You have just made Armand a happy man.&rdquo;


His mouse peered at him with narrowed eyes like he was losing his mind, but as was Donal&rsquo;s way, he didn&rsquo;t ask questions.


They sat quietly in the library after a late supper. It wasn&rsquo;t very long before Donal started squirming in his chair, furtively darting glances around the lavish room. He fidgeted, biting at his cuticles opening and closing Colin&rsquo;s book in seeming frustration. Finally, Donal asked, &ldquo;Why am I still here?&rdquo;


&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t you like it here?&rdquo; Alexei asked.
