Chapter 4

The morning light came through the heavy curtains. Leo woke up first. His body felt sore in all the right places. Ass still tender, bite marks on his neck and shoulders, dried cum flaking on his stomach. He turned his head and looked at Kai.

Kai was still asleep. One arm thrown over Leo’s waist, holding him close even in sleep. The big man looked almost peaceful. Scars stood out on his chest and arms. Leo traced one with his finger, light enough not to wake him.

Kai’s eyes opened anyway. Sharp. Alert. Like he never really slept deep.

“Morning,” Leo said with a smirk.

Kai’s grip tightened on his waist. “You talk too much even before coffee.”

Leo laughed and rolled on top of him. Their cocks pressed together, half hard already. “I want to fuck you today.”

Kai raised an eyebrow. “You think you can handle it?”

“I know I can.” Leo ground his hips down slowly. “I want you on your back, legs spread, taking every inch while I tell you how good you feel.”

Kai’s cock twitched against him. He flipped them suddenly, pinning Leo under him. “Not yet. First we deal with the traitor.”

Leo groaned but he knew Kai was right. “Fine. Business first. Then I get your ass.”

They got up and showered together again. Quick this time. Kai washed Leo carefully, hands sliding over every bruise and mark he had left the night before. Leo returned the favor, spending extra time soaping Kai’s thick cock until it was hard and leaking.

“Save it,” Kai said, voice rough.

“For later,” Leo promised.

They dressed. Leo in black jeans and a tight white shirt that showed off the bite marks on his neck. He wanted everyone to see them. Kai in his usual dark clothes, gun holstered at his side.

Breakfast was brought to the private dining room. Eggs, bacon, fresh fruit. Leo ate like he had not fucked half the night. Kai ate fast, eyes always scanning.

Halfway through the meal Leo’s father walked in with two of his top captains.

“Any new information?” the Don asked.

Kai wiped his mouth. “Text came at three. They know the compound layout. Someone inside is feeding them.”

The Don’s face went dark. “Find him. Fast.”

Leo leaned back in his chair. “We start with the guards who were on duty last night. The ones who let those cars through the gate without full checks.”

One captain, a thick man named Marco, nodded. “I will pull the logs.”

Kai stood up. “I want to question them myself.”

The Don looked at Kai then at Leo. “Take Alessio with you. He needs to learn how we handle traitors.”

Leo smiled. He liked that. His father was finally letting him into the real side of the business.

They spent the next two hours in the basement security room. Screens showed every camera in the compound. Kai reviewed footage from the night before. Leo sat next to him, thigh pressed against Kai’s under the table.

“Stop,” Kai muttered when Leo’s hand slid onto his leg.

“You like it,” Leo whispered back.

They found something at the ten minute mark. One of the newer guards, a guy named Tony, had opened the side gate without scanning the cars properly. He looked nervous on camera.

“Bring him in,” Kai ordered.

Two men dragged Tony into the small interrogation room ten minutes later. Tony was sweating. Young, maybe twenty five, with a tattoo of a cross on his neck.

Kai stood in front of him. Calm. Deadly. “Who told you to open the gate last night?”

Tony shook his head. “No one. I thought the cars were ours.”

Leo stepped forward. He grabbed Tony by the hair and yanked his head back. “Lie again and I will cut your tongue out.”

Tony’s eyes widened. “Prince, please. I swear.”

Kai pulled out a knife. He pressed the flat side against Tony’s cheek. “Last chance.”

Tony broke fast. “It was Luca. He said it was a test. Extra money if I let them through without questions.”

Luca. One of the senior guards. Been with the family for eight years.

Kai nodded at the men. “Find Luca. Bring him here alive.”

They waited. Leo paced the room. Kai leaned against the wall, watching him.

“You did good,” Kai said quietly.

Leo stopped pacing. “I know.”

When Luca was brought in he looked cocky at first. Then he saw Kai’s knife and the blood already on the floor from Tony’s split lip.

Luca tried to run. Kai caught him by the throat and slammed him against the wall.

“You sold us out to the Morettis,” Kai said.

Luca gasped for air. “They offered more money. Bigger cut.”

Leo walked up and punched him hard in the stomach. “My father trusted you.”

Kai let Luca slide to the floor. “Who else?”

Luca coughed blood. “Just me. I swear.”

Kai did not believe him. He worked Luca over for twenty minutes. Not too much. Just enough to make him talk. By the end Luca gave up two more names. Low level guys who had been passing small messages.

The Don came down when it was done. He looked at the three men tied up on the floor.

“Kill them,” he said simply.

Kai did it himself. Three clean shots to the head. Leo watched. He had seen death before but never this close. Never ordered by his own mouth.

After the bodies were dragged out, the Don put a hand on Leo’s shoulder. “You are ready for more. Tonight we hit back at the Morettis. Small warehouse on the docks. You and Kai will lead the team.”

Leo felt a rush. Power. Danger. “I am in.”

Back in their room Leo closed the door and locked it. He pushed Kai against it hard.

“My turn,” Leo said.

Kai’s eyes heated. “Make it quick. We have a meeting in an hour.”

Leo dropped to his knees and opened Kai’s pants. He took Kai’s cock into his mouth, sucking hard and deep. Kai groaned and put both hands in Leo’s hair.

Leo worked him until Kai was rock hard and leaking. Then he stood up, turned Kai around, and pushed him against the door.

“Hands on the wall,” Leo ordered.

Kai did it. Leo pulled Kai’s pants down to his thighs. He grabbed the lube from the table, slicked himself and two fingers.

He pushed the fingers inside Kai first. Kai was tight. Really tight. Leo worked him open carefully but fast.

“Relax,” Leo said against his back.

“Fuck you,” Kai growled, but he pushed back on the fingers.

Leo pulled them out and lined up his cock. He pushed in slow. Kai made a low sound, half pain half pleasure.

Leo bottomed out and stayed there. “You feel so fucking good. Tight around me.”

He started thrusting. Steady at first, then harder. Kai took every thrust, pushing back to meet him.

Leo reached around and stroked Kai’s cock. “Come on. Let me feel you come while I am inside you.”

Kai’s breath came fast. Leo fucked him deeper, angling to hit that spot. When he found it Kai cursed loud.

“Right there,” Leo said. “Take it.”

Kai came first. His hole clenched tight around Leo as he spilled over Leo’s hand and onto the door.

Leo followed right after. He buried himself deep and filled Kai with hot cum.

They stayed locked together for a minute, breathing hard.

Leo pulled out slowly. Cum dripped down Kai’s thigh. Leo watched it with satisfaction.

Kai turned around. His face was flushed. “You are dangerous.”

Leo grinned and kissed him. “You like danger.”

They cleaned up fast. Kai’s walk was a little different when they left the room for the meeting. Leo noticed and smiled the whole way.

In the war room the captains laid out the plan for the dock hit. Small team. In and out. Destroy the shipment the Morettis were bringing in.

Kai stood close to Leo the whole time. Their arms brushed. No one noticed the bite marks or the way Kai’s pants sat a little lower because of the ache in his ass.

Leo felt powerful. He had the heir position, the respect from his father, and the man who was supposed to control him now bent over for him when he wanted.

But as the meeting ended, one of the captains got a call. His face went white.

“What is it?” the Don asked.

“The Morettis just hit one of our clubs in the city. Twenty dead. They left a message. For the prince.”

Leo’s blood ran cold.

Kai stepped closer, hand on his gun. “What message?”

The captain swallowed. “They said the prince’s new toy will not save him. They know about the bodyguard.”

Leo looked at Kai. The heat between them suddenly felt like a weakness.

Kai’s eyes were hard. “Then we hit them harder tonight.”

Leo nodded but inside his stomach twisted. The game had just gotten deadlier.

They walked back to the room together. This time when the door closed, Kai pushed Leo against the wall.

“No more playing around,” Kai said. “From now on we fuck when it is safe. Not when it makes us weak.”

Leo grabbed Kai’s shirt. “You think you can decide that?”

Kai kissed him rough. “Yes. Because if you die because we were too busy fucking, I will never forgive myself.”

Leo kissed him back just as hard.

The war was heating up.

And so was whatever this thing between them was turning into.

Neither of them was ready to stop. But both of them knew the next fuck might be their last if they were not careful.

Leo pulled Kai toward the bed anyway.

“One more time before we go,” he whispered. “Then we burn their warehouse down.”

Kai did not argue.

He never could when Leo looked at him like that.
