“Oh, I bet he does,” Steel drawled.
Ares hadn’t exactly kept quiet about how he felt about Kai or Steel helping him.
Kai
He’d slept like the dead, which was extremely unusual for him. Steel had worn him out. Mmm. Steel. He turned over in the bed, reaching for the man and coming up empty. A disappointed whine escaped him before he could bite it back.
He sat up with a groan and ran his hands down his face.
He got up slowly, sifting through Steel’s dresser to find something of his to wear. He was kinda getting addicted to the way the man smelled. It was weird. He’d never cared what someone smelled like before. He’d never cared, period.
Steel was doing weird things to him. He wasn’t sure if he liked it or not. Well, some of it he certainly liked. He’d never been much for being manhandled and carried around—too risky—but when Steel had pressed him against that wall last night? Fuuuck. He’d never been so turned on in his life. He’d come so fucking hard. And then, after that, Steel had held him against his body from behind several times.
He hadn’t been lying when he’d told Steel he needed him to do it again, because he was definitely addicted to the man by now.
Kai pulled out a pair of sweats that had drawstrings. They’d be too big but at least he could cinch them in enough that they wouldn’t fall down. As much as he wanted to show Steel his goods, he wasn’t exactly sure where they stood after last night. It was better to play it safe.
He put on the sweats and headed for the kitchen. He could hear voices, Steel’s and a man he didn’t recognize. He didn’t like that he’d slept right through someone entering the house. He didn’t like it at all.
He walked down the hallway and found Steel leaning against the counter. A man with long, dark hair in a ponytail was standing across from him. They were talking and neither noticed him, so he decided to listen in a bit.
“He told me to tell you to get your head outta your ass,” the man—who was definitely a Disciple considering his biker vest—said to Steel.
Steel grunted and shook his head.
“Do you even know why you’re helping him?”
Kai felt a heavy thump in his chest and rubbed his hand over it in an attempt to ease the sudden pain there. He didn’t want to hear Steel’s answer to that. He really didn’t. Yet, he stayed right where he was.
“I know it doesn’t make much sense,” Steel said, running a hand through his hair.
“No. No, it really doesn’t.”
“I just… He asked for help, and I couldn’t say no.”
“You’ve already helped,” the Disciple said, pointing at a small envelope lying on the counter next to Steel. “You can leave now.”
Steel crossed his arms over his chest and Kai was too tense to even appreciate the arm porn.
“I can’t. I’m honestly surprised he’s managed to keep himself alive this long. I don’t want his death on my conscience.”
Steel’s friend shook his head with a sigh, then said, “So you’re staying?”
“I am. I need to keep him out of trouble.”
“You really wanna stick around for this guy?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t get it.”
“It’s probably the orgasms,” Kai quipped and started toward them.
The asshat jumped and snapped his head toward Kai while Steel gave him a less-than-pleased look. He didn’t care.
He walked up to Steel and when the man’s body relaxed a bit as he neared, he thought to hell with it and kissed him.
Steel didn’t move, but then Kai ran his hands up his chest and leaned against him, and within seconds, Steel’s arms wrapped around him, pulling him closer.
