know we’re kinda together but is it official? Do I have the right to call him mine?
Kairo shakes his head and gives me a grin. “That’s what I thought,” he grumbles, his eyes lighting with excitement. “I swear, I will do anything you want if you let me be the one to break it to Nic.”
“Oh, hell no,” I shriek, my eyes widening in horror. “Do you have a death wish?”
“Not a death wish,” he explains. “But I’m down for a good fight. It’s been a while.”
“Then remind Eli how you slept with his sister last year,” I suggest. “He’s always ready to go and never knows when to give up, but just leave the brass knuckles out of it, okay? Though, give the kid some fair warning and don’t damage his pretty face.”
Kairo doesn’t respond but the way he sets his jaw tells me that he’s actually considering it and I make a mental note to fill Nic’s freezer with ice for when they're both sitting on the couch feeling sorry for themselves. Though, if I’m lucky, Kai will wait until I’ve gone home to pick that fight. It’s not like I’m not used to them fighting, it’s sexy as all hell but I don’t like seeing my boys hurting.
After realizing that I had no choice but to drive one of Colton’s car’s here, Kairo quickly dives into the driver’s seat and leans across to open the passenger’s door for me. He holds his hand out while grinning like a damn fool in the black Ferrari. “Keys, please.”
Knowing I have no choice but to give up the goods, I toss them toward him and he plucks them out of the sky like a lion diving for a meal. Before my ass has even hit the seat, the engine is revving and Kai is having the time of his life.
I look over at him and he instantly holds a hand up, knowing damn well what I was about to say. “Don’t you dare ruin this for me,” he demands. “I’m probably never going to get another chance to drive one of these.”
I let out a heavy sigh and get comfortable. “Good point,” I tell him, “But if you break it, you buy it.”
He scoffs and with that, he takes off at the speed of light, leaving all our worries behind.
We reach Nic’s apartment building within six minutes and the whole way here, Kai laughed at the way all the people on the streets would stop and stare as we drove past. This car really doesn’t belong in a place like this but I was sure to bring the cheapest one in the massive garage. It’s probably going to be stolen or stripped for parts by the time I emerge out of here this afternoon, but I need this day with my boys more than I need to worry about a billionaire’s cheapest toy.
I’ve really missed these guys over the past two weeks. They’re my security blanket and without them, I’ve felt so vulnerable, but at the same time, I can’t stop questioning if they knew about my dad or if it’s even true.
Kai drives right through to the underground parking and blocks in Nic’s car rather than parking a Ferrari out on the streets of Breakers Flats.
We get out of the Ferrari and Kai is quick to put on the alarm before he loops his arm over my shoulder and reluctantly hands the keys back. We walk up to Nic’s door and before I get a chance to grab the handle, Kai races forward and throws the door wide, letting it rebound against the drywall.
Nic’s head snaps up from his phone and his eyes go big. “What the fuck are you doing here?” he questions, kinda shocked but kinda thrilled.
He drops his phone on the kitchen counter and strides toward me. I meet him in the middle and am instantly captured into his warm arms. “Fucking missed you, O.”
I pull back and smile up at him. “Missed you too.”
He drops his lips to mine, just as he always does, but I pull back before he can kiss me, making us both stiffen. His brow furrows and he watches me with confusion. “What the fuck was that?”
“Nothing,” I say, looking away and stepping back from his hold, only to have him come right with me.
He leans in toward me, forcing his stare against mine. “Why’d you pull away? You never pull away.”
I shrug my shoulders. “Come on,” I scoff, playing it
