I inhale a deep breath.
Lilly loved Kyson more than he could ever love her. If he ever did, that is.
“Is this why you wanted out?” I ask.
“No. Yes. Maybe.” He sighs. “I just thought… I want what you have right now. I know most men like us don’t. But this life is lonely, and I want to share it with someone. It’s hard to do that in this life though.” He isn’t wrong. It takes someone extremely special or fucked-up to agree to this lifestyle.
We are all fucked-up in more ways than one.
“Do you still want to leave? If you do, you know I will support you.”
He smiles, lifts his hand, and smacks my arm.
“Look…she’s making you soft already.” He laughs.
“No, she isn’t. But you are in this life because of me. I am a lifer and there is no way I will ever leave. It’s what I know. And it may be what you know, but youcanleave, Kyson.”
He seems to process what I’m saying.
“I’ll sort it out.”
“Have you told Kenzo?” I ask.
“No, Kenzo is like you… A lifer.”
He is. Kenzo and I are different from Kyson. Kyson shows more…feelings, I guess I would say. Kenzo and I prefer to be silent. It’s safer that way.
Not that Kyson isn’t as deadly as Kenzo.
They are different—no matter that they are twins.
“I still don’t think you should go to her wedding,” I say again.
“Whose wedding?” Alaska asks from the door. “I love weddings.” She grins.
“Be my plus one,” Kyson says.
I told her Kyson was warming up to her.
“Ha, that’s a no. Youwilltake her to make Lilly jealous, and that would mean you are touching Alaska. That is not going to happen,” I add, walking inside.
Kyson follows, not even caring that it’s not my house. “Come on, let me take her,” he begs.
“Nope,” I reply, parking myself at the stove to start cooking breakfast. Kyson sits at the breakfast bar next to Alaska.
“Shouldn’t this be my choice?” Alaska asks.
“Nope,” he and I say in unison.
She crosses her arms over her chest. “Why not?”
“Because it’s not you that he’ll hit. It’ll be me,” Kyson replies.
“Oh…” Alaska says.
“Yeah.” Kyson looks back at me. “How long do you plan to stay here? It’s too far for runs.”
“You ran here?” Alaska asks, surprised.
