“Your King. Not the other King. Though I wouldn’t mind a few licks from him either. He’s quite the silver fox nowadays. He’s really got that Daddy vibe going on.”
Nic rolled his eyes at him and said, “You’re not getting licks from either of them.”
“Aww. That’s cute. You think I couldn’t break into your backyard and steal your dog if I wanted to?”
“I’m gonna have to teach him stranger-danger, aren’t I?”
Kai huffed. “The fuck you calling a stranger?”
They were laughing, but they both knew he was only trying to keep them from thinking about the inevitable. He was about to walk right into a psychopath’s arms. One that wanted him dead.
“I’m gonna head home and try to figure out what I can about the Briggs family. Maybe Auggie can find something we can use if this doesn’t work,” Nic said.
Kai arched a brow at him. “You doubt my skills that much?”
Nic’s lips twitched, and he shook his head.
“I just like to be prepared. You stay alive, you hear me?”
Kai nodded, the words he tried to say stuck in his throat.
When Nic left, he sat down on the bed with a sigh and dropped his head into his hands.
Nic was right. He was a moron.
He just didn’t see any other way. He needed Steel to be safe, which included his club. These people had decided to help him even if some of them didn’t even like him. He couldn’t let anything happen to them.
He heard someone enter the room and instantly knew exactly who it was.
“Hi,” he said, looking up at Steel with a small smile.
“Hi.”
Steel hesitated a few feet from Kai, so he stood and stepped into Steel’s arms. He rested his head against Steel’s chest and closed his eyes. If only he could stop time, he would stay in this moment forever. If this was the last time he felt those arms around him, he would enjoy it to the fullest. He would remember every second of it.
“Please come back to me,” Steel whispered, cheek pressed against the top of Kai’s head.
“Always.” Kai leaned back in his arms and gave him what he hoped was a dazzling smile. “You know. I haven’t actually gotten to ride that dick of yours, yet. It’s on my bingo card. I’ll be coming back to check it off.”
“Just come back alive,” he said, the fear in his voice breaking Kai’s heart.
“I promise.”
“I’ll hold you to that.”
Kai nodded and blinked back tears. Steel cupped his face and leaned down for a kiss. It was bittersweet at best. It might be the last time he tasted those lips. The last time he drew in a breath and the man’s intoxicating scent filled his nose.
“I promise I’ll get you out,” Steel said, cheek pressed against the top of Kai’s head. “We’ll survive this.”
Kai burrowed closer and held on tight until Diesel showed up to tell them it was time for Kai to leave.
He pulled back reluctantly and tilted his head back to meet Steel’s gaze.
“I love you,” he said, his throat closing up.
“I love you, too.”
Steel lowered his head, and the brush of lips wasn’t anywhere near enough, but it would have to do. It was a good reminder of what he had to get back to. He was gonna need a hell of a lot more of that. More kisses. More Steel.
