Whether Grimm is oblivious to the woman we destroyed as he is to the fact that Rourke could squash him like a bug, he continues to search and fiddle with the dozen gadgets he’s juggling.
“Thanks Sarge, just need a sec to get started,” Grimm finally acknowledges Daddy, but doesn’t offer his full attention.
So rather than pull out the stool Rourke put behind him further, the Titan kicks it under Grimm’s knees.
I may be reading too far into it, but there’s still a considerable level of frustration when the oblivious kid goes about whatever he’s doing.
Idea is, that with so many new players, Rourke is having Grimm set up a program that most intelligence agencies around the world have.
Something that allows Rourke to record if not tap into live phone calls whenever keywords are said. Proving that no matter how young he looks, Grimm has black level access.
Rourke again, suffers in silence, helping himself to whatever breakfast Grimm brought with him rather than outwardly pouting.
It’s not until Grimm opens an energy drink with his teeth that Rourke bites into the sandwich to suppress the Daddy reflex.
The last thing his new hyperactive puppy needs is caffeine.
I’m no Daddy, no caregiver either.
I may spend hours talking someone into something, but once I nut, I’m out, period. I have learned to handle the soft things Rourke and my brother enjoy, but not outside of their sexual needs.
Other than the initial proposition, my partners handle the physical health, emotional stability, and after care elements required of dominant submissive relationships.
They provide a softness, I just can’t.
My father made sure that his heir to the Morretti family legacy that I had all the emotions trained if not beaten out of me by the I reached kindergarten; when a rival gang put a hit out on me.
Being what I am. Who I am, isn’t a right by birth or any other means. I earned my title with blood, sweat, hard work, and determination.
Rourke, just like Nico, may be of the few that own the fact we weren’t born to this life.
We all chose it.
They still maintained a sense of compassion and tenderness I’m not sure whether I was born with in the first place.
Being ignored is a pet peeve the giant and I share more so than Nico, and Rourke’s growl joining his first bite of breakfast says the attraction isn’t a figment of my imagination.
Daddy wants Grimm’s attention, but doesn’t get it until he tears into the bagel stacked with eggs, cheese, veggies, and meat.
The woman I’d nearly forgotten watching the unprecedented interaction between my partner and a man, groans in tune with the puppy tilting his head up to the giant.
“Daddy?” The question from the loft matches Grimm’s blink perfectly.
Not to mention makes the kid flush all the way to the tops of his ears before looking down again. Purposefully ignoring Rourke’s glare this time, when Grimm falls back into the pings and bings of whatever equipment he’s setting up.
I give the moaning call even less attention than Daddy does.
Odd for him.
Rourke’s never ignored his title by anyone he’s been with, regardless of being in contract with them or not.
All of our noses twitch to the smell of burnt eggs, and those broader shoulders lift.
“Sorry, Sarge,” the oops face from Grimm is another hit of the sweetness Rourke leans to, and Rourke opts to finish his coffee to keep the inner Daddy coming out again. Having already polished the sandwich he was using as a buffer between them.
Even if something is there, Rourke hasn’t admitted to himself, let alone Grimm yet. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so passive-aggressive.
Rourke and I are similar in the fact that we don’t take action of any kind until we have a basic map of how things will go in our head. Besides, I’m sure I’d be the first to know if he’d made that step, regardless of the Elena situation.
Right now, he’s feeling it out if not battling with his own strict hetero status.
I knew I’d get backlash, but was entirely unprepared for the extent of Nico’s bitch fit, and needed a break. It’s why we’re doing this here rather than with him at my place.
Not like Rourke and I did much talking after I dropped the engagement bomb on him.
A discussion we’ve tabled just like the one I’d like to have, with Grimm gobbling a breakfast sandwich the size of Rourke’s fist in it in practically one bite.
With both hands busy, Grimm’s knee still bops and bumps while he clacks away on the laptop with more than a few other gadgets tacked on to the device.
Puppy’s mouth must be attached to the same motor as his leg as he talks us through all the tech crap he’s doing. “Fuck me kid...” I know Rourke’s about to demand the same thing I am ‘English’.
Daddy barely gets out the correction he can’t bite down before Grimm lands a comeback with a wit as fast as the rest of his hyperactive parts.
“Forgot my lube, and you’re missing a few zeros on my check before I deep throat a King Kong cock,” my coffee flies out of my nose as much as my mouth.
In a lightning quick response, the paper bag that Rourke discarded is snatched to block the modded brick Grimm’s working on, before one drop of my outburst lands on it.
Guess the puppy is like every other hard ass Rourke employs. Nothing other than Reapers and bullets move that fast.
“Oh shit,” Grimm’s honey gold eyes blink at the screen, before he tries to fix whatever he’s clearly broken.
“I have so had a one-night stand!” A female voice shrills from Rourke’s phone. We’re clearly tapping into a live conversation rather than listening to a recording.
I just have no idea which key word the infuriated woman used to have us connect. Only that whoever is on the other end of her phone call is in for it with the tone she’s using.
“My not getting laid since you set me up with a married man is no excuse, Roman!”
“I....” A presumably male voice comes back, and rather than let the kid clack away to cut off whatever conversation we happened on, I hold my hand in front of the screen.
I could use a distraction, and besides, just because women and kids are off limits to my people, doesn’t mean they don’t get involved in things they shouldn’t.
“My not returning your calls has nothing to do with the fact I haven’t had sex in months!” Rourke’s darker brows lift while mine draw, and even the puppy is engaging, tilting his head.
“I do understand that if I don’t get off three times a week, I’m a total brat, but I also have a trusty vibrator and an imagination to take care of that.”
All three of us mirror the ‘did she just say what I think she said’ face. At least Rourke and I, considering he demands at least three times that in a single session.
“What I don’t have is a frizzing job because you decided to send me a dildo with a flash mob demonstrating in song and dance how to properly prepare and use the demonoid King Kong cock on my first day!”
Well, this just got interesting. Not even the puppy is tempted to turn it off, with that being said. Odd as that is, what she says next......
Chapter 1.10 A Disaster Waiting To Happen, By Vince
Chapter 2.4 Curse of the Blue-Eyed Kitten # Grimm……. One Week Ago ……Hard to say why I always get a zing during pandemonium every year, but far from home or not, I still feel the unique energy that comes with the parade of a thousand demons.Must be a Fey thing.Still, it’s weird that whenever I’m not on assignment during Harvest Fest, I always find myself drinking in a random public place waiting for something inexplicable to happen.A bottle in, I could really care less about the evil eye the little old Cantonese lady is giving me. In a half devil’s mask, I happily tip my head in a happy internal jig, drinking straight from the bottle I didn’t buy from the floor to ceiling bar she’s eyeing me from.Being plastered is one of the few breaks my brain gets being a genius, and sorry, but no five dollar bottle of swill she’s got is going to do the trick, no matter how high she up-charges for it.Grouchiness aside, I’m a good guy.Or at least I’m trying to be. New lease on life and all tha
Chapter 2.3 Leave It To Lucian # Grimm“I’m so sorry. I just don’t.... I’ve never..... good grief he’s going to have a field day with this.” Eventually, she drops her hands and looks to the ceiling, biting her lower lip in a prayer for patience. Or possibly to be swallowed up by the floor she’s so embarrassed. “Do you... I mean.... can you just sit and ….. not.. just not....”“I’m here to please you, however that happens, but have to admit I’m better with my hands than my mouth.” Not really, but she doesn’t need to know that just yet.The comment makes her wiggle and sputter a bit before moving to the living area to guzzle a drink in one gulp. With her back turned I take in her hourglass figure, toned limbs and the ass of dreams attached to them. I lick my lips not really sure what I want to start with.It’s all damned delicious if I’m being honest.I note the small jolt of her figure, and hook nervous hook of her foot around the opposing ankle. Moving slowly back to her face, to see s
#Grimm“I have been trying to reach you most urgently, Luca. I’m in need of your singular talents this evening.” Ugh, why didn’t I check before I answered it? Lucian Gaines is on that list of the first and last person you want to hear from simultaneously.Considering how things went down, I wonder if he doesn’t have the wrong number. At least I would if the man was capable of making that kind of mistake. He’s not called a robot for nothing. “I’m on assignment,” I clip.“We both know you are in the city and more than capable of making good on our bargain,” Lucian mocks darkly. Confirming I have every right to be paranoid about screwing him over like I did.I’m a fucking idiot. Not handing over everything I had, doesn’t change the fact that I found it. Can’t unsee, undo, or unknow that I rifled through his life with a fine tooth comb. The more I found. The more I fell.People claim that the first rule of spy craft is not falling for your mark. I think that’s ridiculous because it’s inevi
Chapter 2.1 Blue Eyes #GrimmUgh. How am I not dead?Scrubbing my face as I come to on the shore with the sun feeling like a hundred pound hammer securing a chisel in my skull. The spike seemingly inserted behind my eye is hammering away with the tune of my pulse.Letting me know I’m at least still half alive after another rumble and barely successful arrest.Can’t claim or complain that my new assignment is boring, but with how hard I’ve been hitting the bottle, won’t pretend there aren’t days I don’t miss my desk. More like the blue-eyed Titan that eyed me from the other side of it.Ugh, get it out of your head.If I’d just napalmed that bridge like I should have, I wouldn’t be stuck in the in-between like I currently am. Unlike half the A-listers in this city, kink and BDSM was never really my cup to tea.Sure, I had to understand it. Play along with it if I had any chance of getting out of the AF, but end of day, I’m all about organic ‘relations’. Probably why I was so successful a
Xoxo Nyx“I’ll never complain about meeting her, and I know I’m the last person who could give her the life she deserves. I had no right to kiss her like that and even as just a friend, I’d do almost anything to keep her. To make her happy and, but good gracious Dracula it’s a mystery wrapped in an enigma I can’t hope to unravel…..” I feel my eyes widen further, blinking at the man who’s still there listening to this nonsense.“I’m broken, no two ways about it. I don’t know how to accept her generosity knowing that all I could possibly hope to be is an embarrassment. I hate feeling mad or sad or dwelling on things I can’t change. I want to see the best of this world and help people to be happy in it. Happiness is a choice not a circumstance, and it’s the only life I’ll ever have to live, according to Sister Agatha, so I should make the most of it.”“I’ve been given a second chance, so I won’t burden the few people I have left with my own self-pity and doubts. I also can’t and won’t be
Xoxo NyxWhen I continue to stare at him, find some familiarity or even positivity in what he’s telling me, the Count continues. Far less confident and direct than he had at the start of it.“Even if you do not wish romance, I would like to spend more time with you, listen to whatever new tales you may have to regale me with.” His gaze has fallen back to the bar, as if he’s already heard, processed and accepted the rejection I haven’t given verbally.I really don’t want to make him feel bad, but don’t really know how to handle a situation that has zero precedence. “It’s very hard for me to process if not understand situations I don’t have experience with, and I assure you this is a first for me,” the sputter comes out with a long breath and a rise to the heat in my cheeks likely making me look like a cherry.It’s his turn to tilt his head at me, and here we go. Owning Aspie one o one is in session. “Perhaps if you tell me your concerns, I can address them.” The Count suggests not seemi
