"Okay." I say and take the four steps forward. When two things start rubbing on my legs, and my whole body tenses up. Then I hear two familiar meows. Pulling off the blindfold, looking down, I see my two handsome baby boys, and tears start rolling down my cheeks.

"Meadows and Diesel. How did you-? When did you guys-?" I say, sitting on the floor with tear filled eyes. Petting my babies as they meow and rub all over me. Meadows is a Male, white, and gray Maine Coon. He is mostly white but has gray stripes. Diesel is a Male, black smoke Maine Coon. He is all black with gray on his chest and belly.

"That was the errand I ran earlier. It went to get them and picked up a few essentials for them." Onyx says coming over to sit on the floor with me, petting them as well.

I pull him into a hug so tightly. "Thank you so much. God, I have missed them."

"We figured you would enjoy having them around since you will be here for a while." Ezra says, bending over to pet Meadows.

"So, we turned this old spare bedroom into their room. There is a big cat tree that goes across one wall, their automatic food and water bowls and litter boxes are in the closet with a cat door to get in there. But we can still open it to clean the litter boxes.

“NOT IT!” I hear Blaze shout, cutting off Aspen.

Everyone giggles, and then Aspen continues, “There are also cat beds for them. Plus, tons of catnip and toys to last them a while." Aspen says, standing behind Ezra, smiling at Meadows laying in his lap.

"You guys are amazing, thank you so much and they probably won't use the cat beds and will end up sleeping in bed with me." I say, petting Diesel as he then walks over to Blaze and rubs on his pant leg. Blaze bends down and picks up Diesel, and rubs his belly.

"Awe, Blaze he likes you." I say smiling.

"I am not a cat person but, for you Little Fury, I can handle these two furballs." He says, petting Diesel.

I can't stop smiling because these four men planned a surprise, to bring my cats here for me. That is the sweetest thing anyone has done for me.

"You guys are perfect husband material." Okh, blya. (Oh, fuck.) Did I really just say that out loud? I know for damn sure my face is bright red from embarrassment.

"That. Umm. It. Umm. Yebat' (Fuck)." I can't get my words out. I don't even know how I feel about these men. I was just going with the flow, and yeah, I've fucked two of them. Hell, for all I know, they would make me choose between them. So, for now, I am just going to mess around with them all and see where things go.

"So we're perfect husband material, are we?" Onyx says, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Fuck off, Onyx." I say, laughing and smacking him in the chest. Making the others laugh.

"Ow, love that hurts my feelings." He says with a hurt expression and his hands on his chest.

"How have you been feeling after everything that has happened? Aspen asks, breaking up our fits of laughter over me smacking Onyx.

"I am still trying to process the fact that my parents are dead. Then I am just at a loss for words with Iris being kidnapped by some random person. That I have no clue who they are or what the fuck they want. Then there is my personal life too, where I have to be married in two years to stay the Don. I have no clue how the fuck I am going to do that and or even find that one person to have a connection with. I don't trust anyone easily. The only good thing that has happened recently is the fact that Dmitri is dead and having you guys around." I say with a groan as I rub my temples. I get a headache just thinking about everything. Then I just dump everything on them like that, and instead of trying to deal with everything on my own.

"Little Deity, we are always here for you whenever you need us." Ezra says.

"Thank you." I say.

"Random question. How did you guys get involved with my Papa?" I ask them. They all just stare at each other like none of them want to answer it. But Onyx does answer me.

"We were running with the wrong crowd and met your dad through one of our mutual contacts. He had seen us get into fights, and he told your dad about it. We started as bodyguards and then progressed into hitmen. We were good at what we did and were feared that everyone started calling us The Four Horsemen. Well, needless to say, we ran with it. We wear demon masks with the symbol matching each horsemen when we kill. I am known as Death, Blaze is known as War, Ezra is known as Pestilence, and Aspen is known as Famine."

"Oh. My. God. That makes so much more sense now. Papa would always talk about The Four Horsemen, but I thought he went crazy and was talking about Revelations Four Horsemen." I say with a laugh.

"Thank you guys again for bringing Meadows and Diesel here. That was the nicest thing anyone has done for me. Also for letting me vent to you guys a little bit.”

"Ember, we are always here if you need to vent or just talk things out. We can just sit here and listen and not give any feedback on it." Aspen says placing a hand on my shoulder. I would have never expected that from him after I punched him in the face the last time he put his hand on my shoulder. He has been kind of stand-off-ish since then.

"Thanks Aspen." I say, and have a bold idea to just hug him. So I do, and he goes stiff for a minute and then relaxes into the hug. Ezra joins in on my right, Blaze behind me, and Onyx on my left. I am sandwiched between all four of them.

"So, back to what we discussed before coming in here. Are we all gonna fuck now or what?" Onyx says, backing up from the group hug and taking off his shirt.
