A fireball burning up the sky leads farmer Jason Thomas to the strangest thing he's ever found in his pumpkin patch. A man with wings. And no, he doesn't think it's an angel, no matter what his brothers say.<br><br>Taking the stranger into his home is hard. Keeping his heart from the stranger's hands? Harder. But everything in him calls to this being and Jason is so damned tired of only having his brothers at his back.<br><br>Castiel has no idea what this angel thing is, but the evil that knocked him out of the sky did him a favor. He’d heard the tales of his kin and their missions on Earth with envy and now he has the chance to experience it himself. Better yet, his mate takes him home. One small problem. Castiel has a duty and needs to find a way back. Of course it isn’t going to be that easy.

Lips thinning in a grimace, he dropped the attitude. “Okay. The guy seems pretty harmless. I can’t stand the thought that he really is an angel though.” Reaching out, he yanked Levi into a hug, squeezing tight. “It means I brought a danger into the house with you guys and there is no way I could live with myself if I did.”


Jason held in a sniffle when Levi hugged him back. Over Levi’s head, Jason locked eyes with first Danny, then Adam, hoping for understanding, almost sagging against his littlest brother in relief when both smiled and nodded. They got it.


Levi’s arms tighten for a second, and then he stepped back. “So, we wait until he wakes up. We can do that.” The other two agreed easily. “Any guess at how long that will take?”


Jason and Adam shared a look. “He’s been out since I found him yesterday afternoon. Except for a nasty scar on him, I haven’t found anything else that’s keeping him asleep.”


A cackle burst from Adam. “Must have hurt when he fell from heaven.”
