I turned back to Liam, but he was not there.

“Sir.”

I closed my eyes.

“Well…”

I opened them, turning to Dexter, the new speaker.

“I’ll be on my way,” he continued. He stood. He walked behind me, touched my shoulder lightly, and left without another word.

I watched him stroll out and head in the direction we had come when chasing Jayden.

When I had chased after Jayden.

I sighed. “Have a seat,” I remarked, still not looking at my bodyguard

    I exhaled, brushing dust from my shirt sleeves. I slid into the missing part of my grey pinstriped suit.“Let’s go,” I huffed, moving ahead of my number two.He nodded and followed me out.The others stepped back, clearing a path for me, bowing lightly as I passed them.==========Jayden’s POV.I stared at the wall in my duplex hotel. Rina had heard everything I said. She was making all the arrangements.A lookalike would take over for me in Florida while I went back to speak with our big brother.But before that, I had a dinner to attend.And before that, I had to get off the fucking couch.==========Adrian’s POV.During the dinner that he had organized, Jayden wasn’t there. Physically yes. But not much in any other way.He laughed, made comments, ate and drank with us, but his mind was nowhere near that table.It was a large circular piece. I was seated across from him, with his larg

    I glanced around.“Yamata?”“Are you serious, Jayden?”“Come on, man!”Various voices remarked as the group closed in, as if we were having some kind of powwow on a team call.“We don’t play with cops, fellas. Yamata likes gifts. Give him some. It’ll pay off during the slow days.”Heads were bobbing, gazes were sweeping.I turned back to the device connecting me to a man I didn’t know, didn’t recognize, and couldn’t put in any box.He got quiet.The room I was in fell silent too.The next words, from either side, would change everything. This was it. The game was done.“Take me off speaker, Marcus.”I glanced up. My men stepped back and left the room. I turned. Barry and Shaw were entering the back room.Both doors shut.I glanced down at my phone.“Speak.”The device was still on my table. Speaker on.“I’ll be in the city tonight.”I froze.“I need to

    Ralis released me and slid off my desk.He put his hands in his pockets. I straightened.“Tonight,” he remarked. “Find him for me.” He held out a hand. His monster handed him a small device. He placed it on my desk. “Call me on that. There’s only one number in it.” He nodded at the item.“This Marco Polo, I’m not doing it anymore. There are people looking at me. Dangerous people. And I need to keep an eye on my prized possessions. To keep them safe. For that, I need to know where they are. Every. Single. One of them. At all times. Help me do this, Mr. Sullivan, and you could benefit from my protection too.”I stared at him.He turned; his men copied; they marched out.My men were facing me. I was staring at the phone the vampire had left on my desk. Barry burst out of the back room. Shaw walked to the sitting area in my office and fell into the three-seater facing my desk.My phone rang.I pulled it out of my pocket and stared

    So, here they were. Without incident.Shaw was behind me. The door was open. Twenty of my people filled the doorway and beyond.Barry was in the room behind us.Shaw had pushed him in seconds before the door had been opened. The fuckers had actually knocked first. That, more than anything, had surprised me.Until the vampire laid down his request.He was staring at me as if he were reading my mind. His smile did not waver.I almost glanced at Shaw again.“What do you think I have with Jayden Malroy?”He blinked.He was sitting upright, legs crossed. His hands were placed, one on top of the other, on his knee.“You’re fucking him. No?”I didn’t miss a beat.“Jayden Malroy fucks a whole bunch of people. Are you doing rounds?” I replied evenly.“No rounds. Just you, Mr. Sullivan.”“Why?”“Because you came to me, Mr. Sullivan. You left your city. Left your country. And came to…,” he

I glanced down. There was a white carton bag across from me. Small. The type that expensive shops used to package items.I closed my eyes again.I was well on the pissed-off side. Zero relief.“I’ll be on my way, Sir.”“Sit down before someone is forced to call th

    “He was sent to rehab, Rina.”“Even then,” she pressed, her voice tight, “he contacted a few dealers in his first year of treatment. But never him. Never anybody associated with him. Except one.”“When I told him – I didn’t know his history with that bastard then, but I knew it with you, and so did Kyle – he cut the guy off. Didn’t even complete the pick up after paying for the goods.”“Are you trying to say he cared?” I asked. My voice was stable; it did not rise. No single inflection.“Are you implying that he felt bad or something?” I pushed, still neutral in my tone.“I’m saying that Kyle is a fuck up. He fucked up. You are a fighter. A winner. Don’t get sidelined now. I shared this with you so that fucker can’t use it against us. I can’t wipe it. He will know, and that will stir a hornet’s nest.”“These files were accessed recently; that’s why they popped up so fast. I’m sharing with you, my sweet. Do you hear me?”“I hear you, m

    I pushed off Marcus.I stared at his face. His skin was grey, his eyes dark.“Sorry. I rasped. I’ve got shit to do,” I said hoarsely, a weak smile on my lips.“Jay.”“Sorry, Marcus. I should do better. I know. I will. From right now.”“Jayden. You don’t have to

    Adrian was looking at every bruise, every cut, as if measuring it, hand beside my face, like some mime-physician.Reece entered. He cleared his throat. Violently.Adrian jumped and turned to him.“Do you have some ice?” our young client asked hurriedly, “And any balm?” he ask

    It had been exciting for me at the time. I enjoyed watching him with his arms spread on the sofa as he leaned back, his cock pushing against his pants – even back then, Leon dressed like a sleek bastard.He never wore jeans or hoodies, like other college kids; always smart and mature, cool

    My father didn’t know what I did. He doesn’t know what I’ve become. And if he didn’t know me, then I couldn’t hate on Sir Sinclair for a second. Leon could very possibly be a saint in his father’s eyes, as I was a victim in my father’s own.I kept my expression neutral as I waited for my f
