I slowly let Leona slide down my chest. “Ryuji.”

He groaned. “Fine. How about Cas and I help them with some of Felix’s men? Then you two and the rest of the guys can work with Giulio tonight. We’ll meet back at the house later.”

“Agreed.” As much as I liked Ryuji’s idea, this would be a great opportunity. “Do what you can to draw the police.”

He smirked. “Keep the plan moving forward?”

“Yes,” I replied. “If you run into any of Greco’s capos, I want them arrested. Let Ciel know if you need to call in any anonymous tips. He’ll run interference to keep us out of custody, and them in it.”

He saluted. “Causing chaos is my speciality. You’ll be okay, hanii?”

She wrapped her arms around his middle. “I’ll be fine. Will you keep Cas safe?”

He hooked his finger under her chin to tilt her head up for a kiss. “Always. We’re boyfriends now.”

“I’m aware, and I’m thrilled,” she said with a grin. “I’ll see you two later.”

Caspian and Ryuji took a group of our men with them and quickly headed to Makarov’s rescue. Meanwhile, Leona, Max, Wynn, and I gathered our reinforcements, and then we headed toward the old Vero territory.

We were hunting for capos tonight.

“Iwish we could fuck instead of dealing with this shit,” I grumbled.

“We fucked again this morning,” Cas said, smirking while he drove. He’d been on the bottom this time, and it was fucking incredible to make him whimper and unravel beneath me. “Haven’t had enough yet?”

I bit my lip and leaned my head back on the headrest. “It will never be enough, bodyguard.”

He smiled, and I sighed, imagining his mouth around my cock, just like how he’d woken me up this morning. My sensitive little heart fluttered in my chest.

“Sorry we have to work instead.”

“Assassinations used to be simple,” I said. “This war stuff is on a new level.”

“You never had to deal with stuff like this in the Yakuza?” he asked while he drove the car into Russian territory. Smoke billowed in the air. We were getting close.

“Turf war shit, yeah,” I responded. “My oyabun was powerful, though. It wasn’t often that he was challenged.”

“He gave you that scar on your stomach, right?”

I nodded, pressing my hand on the Kevlar and the scar beneath it. We’d both worn the vests tonight. Just in case.

“He shot me when I tried to purchase my freedom.”

Cas’s grip tightened on the steering wheel. “I wish I could kill him for you.”

I glanced over at him, beaming. “How about you, me, and Leona take a trip to Japan once all this is done? We can kill him together. Plus, bonus, we’ll take a lovely vacation and I’ll show you the beauty of my home country.”

His hand found mine over the center console, and our fingers wrapped together. “I’d like that, Ryu. Really.”

“And we can fuck at every ryokan across the country.”

He laughed, squeezing my hand once before he let it go and pulled the SUV to the side of the street. “That sounds great. Now, pause daydreaming about fucking for now, and let’s kill some bastards.”

“Only if you promise we can fuck again when we get home.”
