Micah s facial expression changed to one of guilt. That s exactly what
his mate thought. It looks like you need convincing. I ll be spending
a lot of time loving your body. My cock will be up your ass often
until you learn not to doubt me. Roman leaned in and kissed Micah

softly on the lips. The kiss was sweet and loving. Roman pulled away
and read the lust in his lover s eyes.
Micah looked away. He wrote another note and slid it over to him.
Roman read the message. Why me?
Why not you, Micah? Roman asked in return. It almost broke
his heart to see the sadness in the younger man s expression. He felt
Micah's heartache. Roman was more determined to find out
everything about the younger man. Can you eat a little more?
Micah shook his head no. He picked up the notepad and stood,
walking out the door.
Roman followed his mate back to the bedroom. Micah, we didn t
finish talking. He sat at the edge of the bed and patted the seat next
to him and waited for Micah to join him.
Micah s took one hesitant step followed by another before
reaching him.
Do you have any questions? Roman asked.
Micah shook his head yes and started writing. He handed the note
to Roman. The way Micah turned his head away had Roman
hesitating before opening the note. Roman sighed. The man was
going to need a lot of convincing. Micah, you can t leave. It s too
dangerous.
Micah shook his head no. He seemed adamant about not staying.
Roman felt Micah s sadness and heartbreak at the thought of leaving.
No matter what Micah said, he didn t want to go. Maybe if he met
Micah s family or friends they might help him piece together the
younger man s past. Micah seemed very reluctant to talk about it.
Roman wanted to understand his mate.
Do you have family? Any place to go? Roman asked, instantly
regretting the question when Micah flinched back like he d been
slapped.
Micah shook his head and wrote, I m alone. Everyone s gone.
Roman read the note and shook his head. That might have been
true yesterday, but you re no longer alone.
Roman s Silent Mate 77
Micah started to shake his head no. After watching his mate s face
transform into sadness, he knew there was more to the story. What
do you want Micah?
Micah scribbled on the notepad, To be alone.
Micah, I m older than you can imagine. You won t find
happiness in being alone.
Micah picked up the notepad again. I know.
Roman was even more confused. Micah understood living alone
wouldn t make him happy, but for some reason he believed that s
what he needed to do. The self-sacrifice showed his strong character,
but Roman didn t like the self-hatred mixed in. It would be a
challenge to convince his mate otherwise. Well, Roman wasn t going
anywhere.
Micah started writing again. He held up the notepad. Am I a
prisoner?
Roman jerked back as he read it. Is staying with me that bad?
Micah shook his head no and wrote, I have to keep moving.
Does this have to do with the Vortex? Can you tell me what
happened?
Micah continued to shake his head no. Getting the man to open up
was going to be a challenge if not impossible.

Chapter Seven
Micah watched everything. His silence had some benefits. Most
people barely noticed him. He liked being around Roman and spent
most of the day with him. Roman gave him small jobs to do like
organizing files. He placed the pile on the file cabinet and starting
putting the folders back in.
He tried reading the files, but the language didn t even look
familiar. Each file held Roman s personal notes and written reports.
Old fashioned physical files were a thing of the past, but Roman
preferred them. The man had a computer, but didn t trust leaving
anything important saved on it. Roman also admitted he couldn t
type. That had Micah smiling. It was one thing he could do that
Roman couldn t.
In the last four days since he arrived, Micah met a few of
Roman s warriors. They stopped by to report something or to get a
new assignment. It seemed some of them stopped by to meet him. He
was amazed by the different types of people that existed in the world.
All the nonhumans had special things they could do. Roman
explained that his territory allowed anyone to move in. A lot of other
territory leaders were prejudiced against other races because of the
years spent fighting. He smiled thinking that everyone could belong in
Roman s territory.
Out of all the different kinds of supernaturals he met, he still
didn t find anyone that could do the things he could do. Micah
suspected he was more than human, but no one was like him.
Not paying attention, his finger rubbed against the edge of the
folder. He pulled it away, but not before the edge cut through his skin.
Roman s Silent Mate 79
He hated paper cuts. The blood started to push out the opening. It
wasn t deep, but it hurt. He walked over to the office bathroom and
turned on the water. He rinsed off the blood and looked at the cut. It
was gone. He reexamined his finger, but there was nothing. It was
healed.
It s because you re mine, Roman said from the door.
Micah looked up at Roman and waved his finger. He pointed to
where the cut had been and pointed to Roman, trying to demand an
explanation.
Roman looked at him. Demons heal very quickly. A lot faster
than humans. You are mine, so you can do it, too.
Micah, still confused, looked at his finger again. Roman wrapped
his arm around his mate and led him back to the office. They sat on
the office sofa. Micah s face reddened. At least once a day they had
sex in this room, a few times on the couch, the desk, and up against
the wall. He licked his lips in anticipation.
Not right now, Roman said, laughing. Later, I ll show you how
to ride, but we need to talk. Roman handed Micah his notepad and
pen.
Micah scribbled, I want to learn to ride now. The idea of
moving up and down on Roman s perfect cock had him hard.
Oh, I ll teach you. We need to talk about the healing. Let s not
get sidetracked.
Micah nodded. While he still wanted Roman s cock inside of him,
he did have questions. He scribbled on his notepad, I m becoming a
demon?
No, Roman said. You re human and will always be human.
When we have sex, our bodies connect on a different level. That s
