He probably had a whole-ass catalogue of which ways you could hire him to kill people. Want it silent? Want it to look like an accident?
A part of him wondered what Kai’s specialty was. Was it innocent people running from their psycho-husbands? The fact that he still didn’t know why Kai had decided to help them instead of carrying out the hit on his brother and Trina was driving him fucking nuts. Was it because there was more money in taking out Trina’s husband? Kai had gotten off with quite a lot of Benjamins that night.
Or was it because there was something good in him? He was almost certain by now that it hadn’t been the video that had made Kai help them.
He shook his head, attempting to clear it from those thoughts. There was no use in speculating. He was here now. They were doing this. He’d chosen to help Kai and he would see it through even if it made him a complete dumbass.
“Hey.”
He snapped his head up and whirled around, his hand landing on the gun at his hip. Kai was standing in the doorway, looking a bit taken aback as he came to a sharp halt.
“What?” Steel growled before he could stop himself.
Kai bit into his bottom lip, looking unsure as his eyes flitted across Steel’s face.
“I just…” Kai’s hands flailed around for a second before he wrapped them around his middle, rubbing the toe of his shoe against the floor. “I just wanted to make sure you were okay.”
Steel bit back the harsh words at the tip of his tongue and calmly said, “I’m fine.”
Kai nodded, that lip back between his teeth.
Watching that had heat sparking inside him. That was another thing. Another piece of this fucked up puzzle in his mind. He was attracted to Kai. Very much so. He just…
Steel sighed and said, “Let’s go to bed.”
Kai’s eyes lit up and before he even said a word, Steel was already groaning.
“You wanna sleep with me?” Kai asked, brows wagging. “We wouldn’t be sleeping much, though.”
“No. Go to bed, Kai. Alone.”
Kai sighed melodramatically. “Why must you hurt me so?”
“Not sleeping with you is hurting you?” Why did he ask? Fuck. “No. Don’t answer. Get out.”
Kai was grinning from ear to ear as he backed out of the room with his hands up.
“Night, Steel.”
Steel fought back an eye-roll. “Good night.”
“And thank you for not shooting me,” Kai said before disappearing out the door.
Staying there with Kai alone would test his resolve, that was for sure. It was still a fifty-fifty split between whether he’d shoot him or fuck him.
Chapter Five
Steel
KAI WAS doing everything he could to annoy him. If he wasn’t chewing his food too loud, he was walking around in barely any clothes, lest he forget the man was wearing his clothes. Then there was all the sexual innuendo.
Kai knew how to get under Steel’s skin. He constantly made him question why he was doing this. Especially the part where he stayed right here with Kai when he could just leave him there.
They’d just eaten canned spaghetti and meatballs because neither of them wanted to cook and now, Kai was sitting across from him, playing with his spoon, licking sauce off it slowly while looking at Steel with a naughty gleam in his eyes.
“Stop it,” Steel growled under his breath.
Kai smirked at him and asked, “Stop what?”
