"I suppose I haven't. I love you too. I've missed you so much."

Nipping Liam's jaw playfully, Jake was curious. Was Liam worried he would be harmed? He was usually underestimated by others, but Liam?

"Is this one of your friends? Don't you trust them?"

"I'm not really in the mood for tea, I appreciate the offer, though."

After a long day, tea was the last thing he wanted. He needed something much stronger.

"I'll let Michael know you came by."

"You're powerful, yes? I have other skills to protect myself."

Tilting his head, Jake's dark eyes closed as he enjoyed Liam's soft touch.

"You haven't said that in a long time..."

"Michael."

He shook the male's hand firmly and released it with a nod. He wasn't sure how neighborly Michael was, but stranger things happened.

"Do you know him?"

"Actually, you're my friend's neighbor. I'm house sitting and taking care of their animals. I'm Jake DiLaurentis. The pleasure is mine."

Reaching out his hand, Jake waited for Peter to take it. He supposed a handshake was old fashioned, but it was the way he was taught.

"Olá, meu fofhino."

"If you ever want an apprentice, I'm available. The one I got my powers from never taught me anything. I'm working on pure instinct."

Jake stopped speaking as Liam stepped closer to give him a gentle peck. The cheeky grope brought a hum whispering from his lips.

"Might be fun..."

Jake was just locking his door to leave when he saw a male walking up the hall. Flashing a smile, the alpha slid his keys into his pocket and turned to leave.

"Good afternoon."

// Sure.

"I'm still fairly new to it. Compared to you."

Watching as Liam raked his eyes down his body, Jake grinned. Usually, Liam was the one being smacked and admired. But the alpha didn't mind as long as it was this specific prince.

// Sometimes.

He didn't even flinch as he felt cool air on his ass. He was enjoying their interaction too much.

"You're right. I still have to wave my hand. I look forward to the day I can have your finesse."

At that, Jake waved a hand, and Liam's pants disappeared as well.

"You forget, so can I."

He ran his fingers teasingly down Liam's back, feeling lithe muscles rippling under fabric.

"A bit better. You're getting there."

Standing up straight again, Jake gazed at Liam with a moue of irritation on his lips.

"Damn clothes soften the blow."

Smirking, he pushed his ass out further.

"Harder."
