CHAPTER NINETEEN
Light poured through the window, directly onto D's face as he slowly opened his eyes. He groaned as he rolled the other way to keep it from his face. They needed blackout curtains in the rooms if they were going to continue staying here. It wasn't as if they kept normal hours. Sunlight was the enemy after a night like he had.
It had taken forever for him to get to sleep. He'd tossed and turned trying to shut down his mind, but the thoughts kept coming. Mostly about the team and work, but there were also fantasies about what he wished he was doing.
He'd been so sure he was going to come home and get laid, but when he saw Beau, he was sure any chance of that was gone. He'd almost asked Jeremy to join him in his bed, but the way he had rushed down to the computer room, like he wanted to be alone, made D uncomfortable about asking.
Maybe all Jeremy wanted was the one-time thing. He hadn't shown any real interest in more. Sure, they flirted and joked around, but he did that with everyone. It was a shame too, because the sex had been fantastic, and he really liked Jeremy. He'd hoped the two of them could have something casual, especially since they couldn't go out and meet others yet, and were stuck together all of the time.
Glancing at his phone, he sighed, seeing it was already noon. He didn't want to get up, but he needed to see what the fallout was after the sting last night. If the news was going to pick it up, they would be reporting about it by now.
He grabbed his pants, pulling them on, then found his shirt and slid it over his head. The house was silent as he made his way downstairs. Beau would be gone, but he wondered if Jeremy was up yet.
He didn't have to wonder long. He heard the usual sound of heavy metal music pouring out of the computer room. He stopped off in the bathroom to pee before heading down the hall to see what Jeremy was up to.
"Morning." Jeremy glanced over at him as he opened the door. "Sleep well?"
"Not at all. How about you?"
Jeremy shook his head. "Ended up coming back down here about eight this morning. Just couldn't sleep. I kept wondering if I'd be able to find out what happened to the girls you saved."
"Find out anything?" D took a seat beside him.
"Wasn't easy. Had to do some hacking. Girls are at Children's Hospital. They were twins, both taken by their father back in Maine almost a year ago. No one knows where the father is now, but the mother is flying in to reunite with them." Jeremy bit his lip.
"Fucker. I wish I could get my hands on the father as well. Bet he sold the girls. Hopefully, the cops will track him down. I hate this part of the job. The never knowing the long-term outcome of what we do."
Jeremy nodded. "There's been some media reports about the girls being found, but nothing about what you did. They said a man had been arrested, and it was an anonymous phone call that led them to the home."
"Good. I was hoping they wouldn't go public. It makes it easier if we don't have half of the city looking over their shoulders. If it gets out that pedophiles are being hunted, they'll go into hiding and we'll lose our chance to take down the really bad ones." D ran his fingers through his hair. "Did you see Beau this morning?"
"I did. He's pretty cool. How do you feel about this doctor he wants to bring in?" Jeremy turned to face D.
"If he's willing to keep our secret, put himself at risk if we ever get caught, and deal with an array of injuries, then I say bring him in. We'll meet up with him if Beau talks him into it. I don't want to bring anyone aboard unless we both agree on them. Are you okay with him?"
"Yeah, I mean, what's not to like? He sounds perfect. As long as he can do the job, I say let's bring him in. Unless he's a total asshole when we meet him, I'm good with this." Jeremy tapped D's knee. "Come on, let's get you some breakfast. I'm starving and I know you need to eat."
"I was thinking about making waffles."
"Did we buy syrup?"
D frowned. "I don't know, but I know we have jam."
"That works. We need to make another list now that we've been here a few days. I didn't expect to be practically living in this house, so I didn't really think to buy a bunch of food we'd want." Jeremy stood.
"Yeah, I didn't plan on it either, but I should have known better. Bryon and Carter practically live at the team house. Makes sense we would too. Guess you better get used to my ugly face." D grinned as he stood.
"I've seen your fuck face, so I think I can handle anything else you've got." Jeremy laughed as he walked out of the room.
D hurried to follow him. "Is my fuck face that horrible?"
"Does anyone have a good fuck face? I mean seriously, think about it. No one looks sexy when they come." Jeremy started opening cupboards in the kitchen and pulling out what they needed for waffles.
"I liked how you looked when you came." D decided to risk it and walked up and pressed his body to the back of Jeremy's.
"You didn't see my face. You had yours buried in the couch." Jeremy pushed back, grinding his ass against D's cock.
"Then how did you see mine?" D wrapped his arms around Jeremy, brushing his lips across the base of his neck.
