Monty turned to him. “Should I have been afraid to tell the truth?”
Li shrugged and smirked. “Rather bold of you to tell me just how ‘obedient’ my brother is being when he begs for your cock.”
Monty chuckled softly. “You added the rest of that.”
“It’s not like I don’t understand the dynamics of your relationship.” Li turned back toward the doors as they opened. “Anyway, I’m glad to hear that you’re both settling in.”
“I’m sure your brother keeps you abreast,” Monty said.
Li nodded. “He’s on cloud nine.”
Monty gave a slight smile at that.
The doors opened and Li led the way to his car where his sister and bodyguard, Xiù, was standing by. The driver held the door open for everyone.
“He’s coming with us?” Xiù asked, a slight frown on her pretty face.
Li nodded. “He needs to be introduced to the family business. Let’s go,” he said, then climbed inside the car.
Xiù tossed Monty an unapproving look before climbing inside the limo next to her brother. Monty was last to enter and take his seat opposite Li. The driver closed the door, then climbed in behind the wheel.
“So, what kind of problem do we have at the docks that I need to be privy to,” Monty asked as he adjusted his suit.
“You’ll see once we get there. Until then, tell me more about you,” Li asked.
“What do you want to know?”
“Have you ever killed anyone?” Li asked.
Monty shook his head. “No.”
“Have you ever been in a fight?”
Monty snorted and looked out the window before returning his gaze to Li. “Yes. If you want to know if I can defend myself, yes. I’ve taken MMA classes for the past ten years. I also speak seven different languages, including Japanese and Mandarin.”
“Apart from English, what are the other four?” Li asked.
“Spanish, French, Italian, and Russian,” Monty said.
Li whistled. “Impressive.” He smiled.
Xiù only looked at Monty, but her frown had disappeared. Now, her expression was unreadable.
“I’m not going to ask you how you feel about my brother. I will say that I hope you aren’t holding back thinking that’s a way out of your relationship,” Li said.
“Holding back?” Monty asked with a blond eyebrow raised.
Li nodded. “Ren deserves all of you, because he’s giving you all of him.”
“Ahh,” Monty said and sighed. “Then put your mind at ease, because I never hold back.”
“Well, that’s something I want to see when we get to the docks,” Xiù said and it was the first time she had spoken since they had gotten in the car.
Monty wanted to ask about the docks and what would be expected of him, but he decided not to. He knew they wouldn’t tell him. Forsome reason, it would seem the twins wanted the element of surprise in play. Instead, he turned the tables on the conversation.
“What about you? Are you seeing anyone?” he asked Li.
Li shook his head. “No, and I’d say relationships aren’t for me. At least, not right now. Maybe when I’m thirty-five, I’ll be ready to settle down.”
