“Your father is here.”

The air whooshes from Ari’s lungs and his body goes rigid. “When?”

“Late last night. I couldn’t get away to call. Tell Jason to ditch the watch. That’s how you’ve been tracked.” Jason rips his watch off like he’s been burned and tosses it on the table. “I can only get a hit on it when it alerts but it’s enough, and I can only tell them so many times that I can’t find anything before my brain gets blown out.”

“What are they planning?” Tivon asks.

“They’re going to start terrorizing Forest Grove. I’m talking all out war until you guys come forward.” Cryptic sighs. “I can’t stop this anymore. I’ve done everything that I can to keep them off your ass, but time’s up. It’s your turn to make a move.” Cryptic rambles off an address, and Tivon nods, letting Ari know that he has it. “That’s where your father is. He and Abraham won’t be in the same place.”

“How can we help you?” Ari asks, and I swear my heart swells with love for this man. He’s under direct threat,again, and he’s more worried about Cryptic.

“You can’t.” Cryptic’s voice cracks on the last word, and I want to reach into the phone to hug him. “I’m in this for life.”

“You know me. You know what I do, right?” Ari asks. “Then you know I can save you.”

“I don’t deserve it. Not after the shit I’ve done.”

“Under force,” Tivon argues.

“It doesn’t matter. Oh, and the guys you were looking for? The ones who broke into Jason’s apartment, ran you off the road, and left the note? They were hired by Abraham to throw Ari off.” He spouts off another address. “There’s two of them, and they’re brothers.”

“Cryptic. Tell us how we can help?—”

“I have to go.”

The call disconnects, and Ari rakes his hand through his hair. “This changes things.”

“You and Jason go upstairs. Get dressed, pack your stuff, and be ready to move,” Tivon instructs. He kisses my cheek and helps me to my feet. I hold my hand out for Jason to grab, and we round the corner.

But not before I see Tivon go straight to Ari, whispering something that has Ari melting against him.

It didn’t take longbefore we were on the move.

After the few mishaps we’ve had, the guys decided to start parking the SUVs behind the house in the woods, just in case we needed to move again. The guys strapped me and Jason into vests, made sure we were armed, and we set out to walk.

“Where the fuck did you get tiny hands?” I hear Tivon ask and turn around to see him staring at Tyler, who indeed has tiny hands tucked into his long sleeve shirt. I start to giggle and can’t stop when Tyler runs his hand down Tivon’s face with one.

“You should never make fun of a man with small hands.”

“Can you take anything seriously?”

Tyler taps his chin with the hand, and Jason loses it laughing, burying his face in Ari’s arm. “Yes. I’m very serious. You’ll hurt my feelings for judging me.” Tyler rubs Tivon’s cheek again, then his chest. When it touches Tivon’s cock, he goes rigid.

“Now is not the time for your bullshit,” Tivon grits out.

“Oh, come on. I might not be able to do much with them, but I’m sure I could get you off.” Tyler dances in front of Tivon and starts rubbing him with both hands. Tivon’s hand lashes out and locks onto Tyler’s throat, squeezing.

“Stop fucking with me, or I’ll shoot you right between the eyes.” Tyler waggles his brows, and to my surprise, Tivon pulls his gun from the holster and presses it against Tyler’s forehead. I look at the others and none of them seem to be worried, so I watch the scene unfold in front of me. “Fuck,” Tyler gasps.

Tivon tilts his head to the side and runs the hand that was on his throat down Tyler’s body until he’s gripping his cock. Tivon squeezes, and it brings Tyler to his tiptoes. The whole time, the gun never leaves Tyler’s head. “You’re fucking hard right now.” Tyler moans when Tivon massages him again. “You have a little bit of a fear kink,Ahavah?”

“Apparently,” Tyler rasps. “What did Ari unleash last night?”

Tivon licks Tyler’s top lip, and then pushes him away. “What you’ve been wanting. Now, let’s move.” Before Tyler can get too far away, Tivon jerks the tiny hands away, making Tyler pout. “None of that. If you’re a good boy, I’ll let you have them back.”

“I don’t like you very much right now.” Tivon just grins and pushes Tyler to get him walking again. “You’re like a new man. Ari must have a magic asshole.”

“He does,” Tivon agrees, making Ari choke on a laugh. “Tight and hot. Just the right size for my cock.”
