I nodded, even though he already knew that. “I got the information from his dad.”

“Did you do something to him?” He shot a glance across the river, and I turned to look at Jonas’s family home in the distance. The other side was quiet, too quiet.

“Why?” I narrowed my eyes. “What happened?”

“Cops were over there, and it was taped off like a crime scene. Then they came over here wanting to talk to you. I told them you went out of town, but it’s not like they believed me. People like us don’t have the cash for that.” He sighed. “I tried to tell them it was for work, but they were suspicious, mate. They said they’ll be back.”

I shrugged. “Let them. I have nothing to hide.”

“And Jonas?” Tav sent him a look, but Jonas’s soft snores were loud enough for me to hear. “They’ll ask him questions.” He narrowed his eyes. “You didn’t ask me what happened for the place to be a crime scene.”

“What happened?” I didn’t have to pretend, though. We both knew I’d taken Jonas’s dad. Maybe Tav didn’t know I’d killed him, but it was easy to guess.

“His mother was tied up and gagged. His father was abducted. No one knows where he is or if he’s even alive. But they’ve got no corpse, so who’s to say? The people over the river are calling for a head from one of us.” He shook his head and glanced around nervously. “People around here are trying to figure out who did it, though with your disappearance, the suspicion is on you.”

“I’m back, aren’t I?” My spine stiffened. “And you were right, I’ve been working. With the Kings of Men MC. If the cops want answers, they can go to King himself and ask.”

“You think they’ll believehim?” Tav whispered.

Jonas groaned and yawned. He blinked up at us, then around the trailer park. The afternoon sun was getting lower and managed to hit him in the eyes. He squinted as he took off his helmet and stood. I held out my hand to him, and he gave me the sweetest smile as he took it and let me help him step out of the sidecar.

“Tav, hi.” Jonas waved at him. “Where’s Chet? Is he safe?”

Tav offered him a smile. “He’s fine. He’s still staying with me. We agreed that he’s going to crash with me until he finishes school. We don’t know how, if I’m honest, we’re going to do that. If his parents find out where he is—”

“He doesn’t need to worry about that conversion camp,” I growled out, anger searing my insides as I thought about everything they’d done. “It’s gone.”

Tav shook his head sadly. “That’s not the only camp, Shep. There’s others out there.”

Jonas shifted in closer to me. “Do you think the Kings could help him get a new identity, too?”

“I could ask King.” I curled my arm around his waist and tugged him closer. “Let’s get you inside. It’s a mess in there, but we can clean up a spot for you to sleep.”

Tav cleared his throat and flushed, his cheeks flooding with a pink I’d never seen on him. “Chet and I, uh.... We wanted to do something for you both. We knew you would be back. So, we cleaned up the trailer.”

“Why?” I asked bluntly.

Jonas poked me in the stomach. “Ethan! They were being nice.” He laughed and went over to Tav, giving him a hug, which Tav happily returned. “Thank you. Tell Chet the same. I need to sleep, but maybe I can come over tomorrow morning and talk to him?”

Tav hummed in agreement. “He would like that. He keeps asking me if I’ve heard word from you both. He’s inside showering right now.”

“We’ll be around then to talk.” I grabbed the back of Jonas’s shirt and tugged him gently. “Jonas needs sleep and something to eat.”

Tav said his goodbyes, and I finally led Jonas inside. The door to the trailer wouldn’t lock, and I made a mental note to go to Owen tomorrow about getting someone in to fix the broken latch. He would bitch and whine and give me the bill, but if I was doing work with the Kings, I would be able to afford it soon. I also had to find Murph and let him know exactly what I thought about him, and it would involve my fist in his face before I took back the cost of my product, whether it was from his cash or flesh.

Once I closed the door, I went straight to the cupboard above the small stove to find some snacks, but I froze when Jonas’s arms went around my waist. His lips met the back of my neck, and the warmth of his mouth made me melt. His breath tickled my skin.

“I don’t want food. I want you.”

“You have to be hungry.” I turned in his embrace and wrapped my arms around his waist, dragging him flush against me so our hard cocks rubbed together through our jeans. He moaned and slanted his mouth over mine. I kissed him roughly, shoving my tongue between his lips so I could get a better taste of him. He rocked his hips and pressed me against the counter, and I slid my hands down south to grab his ass and squeeze it.

He moaned. “For you. I want you.”

I laughed gently against his lips and slowly began to push him backward. He let me lead him straight to the bed, trusting me as I guided him in the right direction. When his knees hit the edge, he fell back onto it with a chuckle.

I didn’t waste any time. I grabbed his boots and tugged them off, along with his socks, while his fingers worked at his belt and the zipper of his jeans. When he had the pants undone, I grabbed the bottom of the legs and yanked the jeans down until I had them off him completely. He sat up and ripped his shirt over his head.

“Get naked,” he ordered.
