“Fine.”
“And you?” Kai asked, hand reaching for Steel who was too shocked to move when Kai’s fingers brushed across his left clavicle. The neck of his shirt was just low enough that Kai could touch his skin there and that contact was…
He breathed out shakily.
Fuck this.
He grabbed Kai’s hand and twisted his arm, making Kai turn as he jerked his arm behind his back.
“If you wanted my ass all you had to do was ask,” Kai purred, rubbing his ass against Steel.
Steel released his hold and stepped back with a curse.
Kai turned toward him, a playful smile on his lips. Steel kept his gaze locked on Kai’s face because he knew if he looked down there’d be a bulge in Kai’s pants, and he didn’t fucking want to know.
Kai
From the murderous look in Steel’s eyes, he might actually go through with that threat to kill him if he didn’t leave, so Kai released a sigh and dropped back down onto the couch.
“I need your help.”
Steel’s startled bark of laughter didn’t make him feel any better.
He crossed his arms over his chest and pouted up at Steel. The man looked dumbfounded as he shook his head.
Steel sat down in the armchair across from Kai.
“What the hell did you do?”
“What makes you think I did something?”
Steel cocked a brow at him.
“Fuck. Fine. I screwed up.”
“How much?”
Kai pressed his lips together and avoided Steel’s gaze.
“That much, huh?”
“I’m asking you for help, aren’t I?”
Steel narrowed his eyes at him. “What did you do?”
Kai shrugged, then said, “I’ve got a hit out on me.”
“Jesus,” Steel breathed.
“Can you help?”
Asking for help wasn’t exactly the norm for him, but he was desperate, and Steel might be the only person he knew who had the connections and resources to hide him.
He was sure his best friend could’ve helped, too, but he wasn’t about to fuck up Nic’s life. He’d gotten out of the game years ago and Kai should’ve followed him back then, but he’d felt indebted to Isaac, so he’d stayed. Probably the dumbest thing he’d ever done apart from becoming a hitman. He might be good at his job, but it was getting harder and harder to discern which people deserved a bullet and which didn’t.
When he’d been hired to kill Steel’s brother and his girlfriend a few years ago, he’d decided to help them instead, but he hadn’t made that decision before laying eyes on Steel. He would’ve walked away any other time because he didn’t kill innocents, but Steel had made him want to stick around for a while if only to tease the man endlessly. He was so hot when he got flustered.
“I’ll make some calls,” Steel said, bringing Kai out of his thoughts.
