Cade and his minions, and even Alex, are standing at the bottom of the stairs, dressed in head to toe black ready for our meeting with Quinctus, whereas I've just rocked up in jeans and a white shirt.
"Someone didn't get the memo about the dress code," Ashton remarks around an amused smirk.
"Like you actually have an invite to this bullshit," I retort, knowing full well he doesn't.
"Fuck you, Easton."
"Get changed. We need to leave."
My eyes find Cade standing front and center, exactly where he likes to be. "No."
His eyes widen in shock before his lips twist in anger. It must be weird, not having me immediately fall at his feet.
"I go like this, or I don't go." Lifting my hand, I brush my hair from my eyes and walk around them, out to the cars.
I can't help but laugh when I hear footfalls behind me. I have no idea if he's given approval or someone has decided that they can't be dealing with Cade's toddler tantrum right now.
Shooting a look over my shoulder, I find Alex and Channing following me with smirks playing on their lips. "You two want a ride?"
"Sure thing."
Alex pulls open my passenger door and drops down before Channing does the same to the backdoor.
"Yo, Kingsley. Might want to move. You don't want to be late." Before he responds, I climb into my car and jam my key in the ignition.
Revving the engine, I gun it out of the driveway, ensuring I shoot gravel out behind me in the hope it might hit him as he emerges from the house.
"Okay, that was fucking epic," Alex laughs in the passenger seat.
Ignoring him, I look in the mirror at Channing. "You ready for this?"
He cracks his neck as if he's about to step into the ring with Cade. "They can only say no, right?"
"What's going on?" Alex asks.
"You'll find out." I wink at him, knowing it'll drive him crazy.
The monthly Q meetings are held in the old church where we were brought the night our initiation started. Only, the meeting rooms are around the back of the building.
As predicted, we arrive before Cade, and I have no interest in waiting for the motherfucker. Hopping from the car, I waste no time in walking inside and allowing Channing to direct us to the room we need.
"It's been a while since I was here," he mutters as we make our way down the long hallway.
"I thought these meetings were monthly?"
"They are, but it's usually only Kingsley that gets the royal invite."
"So why are we all here?"
"I guess to welcome you two, but Q can be as unpredictable as Cade at times, so your guess is as good as mine."

Sasha finds me sitting out on the terrace, drinking my second coffee of the morning.
“They just left?” she asks me.
