Tivon runs his thumb across my chin and then uses his hold to bring me close enough that our lips touch. “Do you know how long I’ve wanted to do this?”

Tivon doesn’t give me a chance to answer before he seals his lips over mine. This isn’t a tentative kiss. It’s all consuming from the start. He takes over with ease, chasing my tongue back into my mouth and squeezing my throat hard enough in warning that my breath catches. Somehow, we maneuver both our big bodies onto the small ass couch so Tivon is laying between my spread thighs. It’s different from any position that I’ve ever been in, because usually I’m the one on top. But when Tivon grinds against me, all nervous thoughts fly from my head, and I sink my fingers into his strong back. We start rocking our hips, rubbing our hard cocks together. Tivon slows the kiss down, and I havea moment of panic, thinking he’s going to stop, but he moves to start kissing my neck. He licks the pulse jumping in my neck, sucks on my Adam’s apple, and kisses down until he meets the V in my shirt. Goosebumps pop up on my skin, and I shiver.

“That’s it, Aryeh. Let go.” I’ve always hated my given name because of what it represented. But hearing it come from Tivon’s turned on, deep, gravely voice gives me a whole new appreciation for it. “Let me take care of you.”

I can feel it. The need to take control of the situation is slipping away, much easier than I thought it would be, but Ifeelthat I can trust Tivon with that type of power. It won’t make me weak in the field or leading this team. It won’t make me any less of a man. It won’t make me any less dominant with Jason or Tyler. It’s my chance to have the freedom that I can see in them when they let go. I relax in Tivon’s hold, and I’m rewarded with one of the most breathtaking smiles I’ve ever seen from him. Tivon’s hand slides between us, and he grips my cock through my jeans. “Holy shit,” I breathe. He massages me, making me groan.

“You’re very responsive. Has anyone ever had this gorgeous ass?”

I huff a laugh. “I didn’t even know I liked men until I met Jason, so no.”

Tivon’s hand slides down until his fingers are pressing against my asshole. “I can’t wait until I can strip you naked and have your thighs gripping my hips as I take you for the first time.”

My mouth opens to tell him to take me upstairs and do just that when my phone starts ringing. I recognize the ringtone and fish my phone from my pocket. “It’s Nolan.” Right when I press to answer, Tivon’s hand grips my cock again. “Hello?” Tivon starts massaging me again with an infuriating smirk on his face.

“So, I got that software hooked up.”

“Uh huh.” Tivon massages me harder, and I can’t keep up with this conversation right now.

“I got something.”I sure as fuck caught that.

I put my hand on Tivon’s chest, and he stops immediately, fully alert that something is going on. I flip the phone to speakerphone. “What did you get?”

“I found Cryptic’s location, but it was fast. Too fast.”

“Like a setup,” Tivon answers before I can.

“Exactly. Axel is ready to go, but he’s leaving it up to you. It could have been a coincidence, or you’re walking into an ambush.”

“Let me talk to the team and call you back. This has to be planned. We can’t go in half-assed.”

“Agreed,” Axel says, his voice coming over the line. “This guy is a pro. He disappears as soon as we find him, and we haven’t been able to lift one fucking fingerprint. Same thing with the car Tivon found. My gut is telling me all of that is connected. This is a team. Not a one man crew.”

“You think Jason’s apartment, the guy who ran Aryeh off the road, and Cryptic are all connected?” Tivon asks, sitting back on the couch and pulling me with him. We get situated side by side, but sit a lot closer than we were when we first came out here.

“Yeah. My gut is saying this plan has been in the works a lot longer than we gave Aharon credit for. Did your guys find out anything in Israel?”

“Just that Aharon has gone into hiding. No one has seen him for over a month.”

“Is he even alive?” Nolan asks. “Ari even said it was weird that Abraham came instead of Aharon. What if this has nothing to do with Ari’s dad, and everything to do with the uncle?”

I massage my temple, too much information coming in all at once. Tivon squeezes my thigh, and I feel myself relax slightly.“Okay. This sounds like some conspiracy theory shit, but might not be all that crazy. Let me call you back.”

We say our goodbyes, and I send a message in the group chat for the team to meet us outside, including Jason and Kira. They need to be involved in this discussion too. Within minutes, they’re all coming outside. Tivon grabs Jason’s hand and tugs him down on his lap. Jason looks surprised and tense until Tivon whispers something in his ear, and he relaxes. Jason whispers something back with a smile and grabs my hand. Tyler’s eyes are ping ponging between us so fast they look like they’re about to fall out of his skull.

“Nolan just called. He found Cryptic’s location, but it was within minutes of him hooking up Tivon’s software. This is almost certainly a trap, or we can finally grab this jackass. I don’t want to make a decision for the team. I want us to make it together.” I look at Tivon and nod for him to share his thoughts.

“We can stake out the place first, the best we can. If anyone gets a bad feeling, say something, and we pull back immediately, then we can wait for another opportunity. We do this as a team or not at all.” Jason catches the change in the way he speaks about the team, including himself. He kisses Tivon’s cheek and snuggles into his arms. I wait for the jealousy and when it doesn’t come, I relax. This is right, and I’m not going to fight against it. Especially with how he made me feel when he was on top of me. “What are your thoughts?”

Jason startles when he realizes Tivon is talking to him. “Me?”

Tivon smiles softly. “Yes, you,Nehedar. You’re important to this team, also.”

“As much as I want to say that I don’t want you to go, I know that you need to.”

“Same here,” Kira says, smiling at everyone around her. It fills my heart to see her so fucking free. “We’ll be waiting for you to come home to us.”

Tyler shrugs. “I’m in.”
