“All of this is for you, baby,” TT said, then gestured to his body.
“And I can’t wait to have it all to myself once you’re free.”
TT sighed and nodded. “Yeah, gotta little bit more time to go. But it won’t be much longer.”
Ajay nodded, he’d received updates on Tim and Dragon from other members of the club and knew that his husband had tried to frame TT by having a guard store contraband in his cell. That little violation would have gotten TT extra time added to his sentence, but the Warden backed TT’s claim that it wasn’t his.
When Ajay asked about that, Dasan only said that the Warden knew who to fuck with and who not to fuck with. That had been good enough for Ajay.
“Please be careful in here, baby. I don’t think my husband is going to give up. He still hasn’t signed the papers yet,” Ajay said.
“That motherfucker is more trouble than he’s worth, in my opinion. Right now, he’s just a nuisance and one I’ll deal with once I’mout. But anything more and he’ll be invited to his own party where my brothers will show him one hell of a good time,” TT said.
Ajay swallowed, but didn’t say anything. He knew what the coded term meant.
TT cocked an eyebrow. “Are you okay with that?”
Ajay cleared his throat. “Not really, but I’ll understand. If you’re asking me if I’ll try to intervene, I won’t. Like you said, it was his mistake. If he can’t let me go, then he leaves us no other choice.”
“For your sake, I will try to avoid it,” TT said.
Ajay nodded. He might have wanted nothing more to do with Kevin, but the man was still someone he had spent years of his life with. Someone he had shared his body with and had loved once upon a time. He didn’t want to see Kevin dead, but he didn’t want to see Tim dead even more and if he had to choose between the two, he was picking Tim every time.
“You do what you have to do, because I want you free and in my bed when your time is done,” Ajay said.
“Shit, baby... that’s all I want too,” TT said, then gave Ajay another quick kiss before the guards could get their panties in a bunch. “How’s the club doing?”
Ajay released a heavy sigh. “Shit, it’s getting very hot in Chicago and New York. We know it’s a matter of time before we see those temps in Fl, too.”
TT’s eyes bugged out as he leaned closer, because he knew what the code speech meant. “How hot?”
Ajay began to sign in code.
The Jade Dragon Triad attacked us in those locations five days ago. They killed some Lords and Castiellos. That’s one of the reasons why I had wanted to see you so badly today, to warn you. Rico and the Lords in New York are getting hit the hardest right now. At first, Rico was handling his business up theretaking on three of the five families, but then Da Han Mujin negotiated with the remaining other two families and now it’s a fucking free-for-all. Rico and the Lords are getting hit from both sides by all the different factions.
“Fuck,” TT gasped and ran his hand over his face, then back down his mohawk. He’d been a Lord for most of his life, but never had they been so deep in this kind of war.Who died?he signed.
Ajay began to tell him their losses and some TT knew and others he didn’t.
“Jesus.” He shook his head. His heart ached in his chest that felt tight at hearing about some of his club brothers dying. Mainly in New York and some in Chicago.
Members from Los Angeles and Vegas are on their way to New York now to offer reinforcements and I hear Rico is reaching out to his people in Italy for more aid. From what I hear, Wolf and Vito are giving them hell in Chicago, but they took some losses too. The triad has their own bikers and from what I hear, the leader is a fucking psycho. He’s also Da Han’s youngest brother.
“I hate being stuck in this shithole when my club fucking needs me,” TT cursed, a sneer on his handsome face.
Ajay touched the back of his hand that rested on the table. “I know, me too. It was all pretty sudden and so fucking coordinated, it kind of caught us off guard,” he said.
“I see,” TT said with a frown.
“We’re on high alert in Florida, we think they haven’t fucked with us because Lords run deep in the state,” Ajay said.
TT nodded. “Three hardcore chapters, they’re treading lightly. By the way, your signing has gotten much better,” TT complimented. “I understood everything you said just now.” He thought about all of the fumbles Ajay had before when he had started teachinghim.
Ajay gave him a little smile. “Only because Maverick and Cowboy have been teaching me.”
TT gave him a little laugh and nodded. “That’s good.” His smile faded and he sighed again. “Do you know why they decided to show off now?”
“Well, I know the reason why we didn’t make the first move, and that’s because of what Rico was dealing with. But word is the triad wrapped up their nasty business with the one who betrayed them and now all of their focus is on us. I can bet the DEA is having a field day right now,” Ajay whispered.
