Chapter 5

• The dock smelled like salt water and rotting fish. Leo stood behind a stack of shipping containers with Kai right beside him. Night air was cold. Leo had changed into black tactical gear. Tight shirt, cargo pants, boots that actually fit. He carried a gun in his hand and another on his hip. For the first time he felt like he belonged in this world instead of just partying on the edge of it.
• Kai checked his watch. “Team is in position. We move in three minutes.”
• Leo nodded. His heart was pounding but not from fear. From excitement. He glanced at Kai. The man looked focused. Professional. But Leo could still see the faint marks on Kai’s neck from where he had bitten him earlier. And he knew Kai’s ass was still sore from taking his cock against the door.
• “After this we go back and I fuck you again,” Leo said quietly.
• Kai gave him a sharp look. “Focus.”
• “I am focused. On winning and then winning your ass again.”
• Kai shook his head but the corner of his mouth twitched. Almost a smile.
• The radio crackled. “All clear on the east side.”
• Kai raised his hand. “Go.”
• They moved fast. Ten men spread out behind them. Leo stayed close to Kai like he was told. They reached the warehouse door. One of the team cut the lock quietly. Inside the lights were dim. Stacks of crates everywhere. The Moretti shipment.
• Kai signaled half the men to the left. He took Leo and three others to the right.
• They found the first guard near the back. Kai took him out with a knife to the throat before the man could shout. Blood sprayed across a crate. Leo watched it happen without blinking.
• They kept moving. Leo’s blood felt hot. He raised his gun when another guard stepped out from behind a forklift. Leo fired first. Two shots to the chest. The guard dropped.
• “Good,” Kai said low.
• They planted the explosives on the main crates. C4 blocks with timers. Leo set one himself. His hands were steady.
• “Ten minutes,” Kai said. “Everyone out.”
• They were almost at the exit when gunfire exploded from the catwalk above. Moretti men had been waiting.
• “Ambush!” someone yelled.
• Bullets ricocheted off metal. Leo ducked behind a crate. Kai was right there, covering him, firing back with deadly accuracy. Two men fell from above.
• “Move to the door!” Kai shouted.
• Leo ran. A bullet grazed his arm. Sharp pain but nothing deep. He kept going. Kai grabbed his collar and yanked him behind another container.
• “You hit?” Kai asked.
• “Just a scratch.”
• Kai looked angry. Not at the enemy. At Leo for getting close to a bullet. He peeked out and took down another shooter.
• The team was returning fire. Bodies hit the ground on both sides. Leo raised his gun and dropped one Moretti guy who was aiming at Kai.
• They made it to the exit just as the first timer hit zero. The explosion rocked the warehouse. Fire bloomed behind them. Heat washed over their backs as they ran for the cars.
• They piled into the waiting SUVs. Tires screeched as they sped away from the docks.
• Leo sat in the back with Kai. His arm burned but he ignored it. Adrenaline was still pumping hard.
• “We did it,” Leo said, breathing fast.
• Kai tore open Leo’s sleeve to check the wound. “It is shallow. You will live.”
• Leo grinned. “Told you I could handle it.”
• Kai pressed a cloth to the cut. His touch was rough but careful. “You almost got shot because you were watching me instead of your own back.”
• “I like watching you.”
• Kai’s eyes met his. The air in the car got thick. The other men in the front seat pretended not to notice.
• Back at the compound they went straight to Leo’s room. The door barely closed before Leo pushed Kai against it again.
• “Strip,” Leo ordered.
• Kai hesitated for half a second then pulled off his shirt. His chest was covered in sweat and a few new bruises. Leo took his own clothes off fast. His cock was already hard from the fight and the rush.
• “On the bed,” Leo said. “On your back.”
• Kai lay down. Leo climbed between his legs and pushed them apart. He grabbed the lube and slicked his cock quick.
• “No teasing tonight,” Leo said. “I want you hard and fast.”
• He pushed inside Kai in one long thrust. Kai groaned and gripped the sheets. Leo did not wait. He fucked him deep and rough, hips snapping forward.
• “You took that ambush like a pro,” Leo said between thrusts. “Now take my cock the same way.”
• Kai’s legs wrapped around Leo’s waist. “Harder.”
• Leo gave it to him. The bed creaked loud. Skin slapped skin. Leo leaned down and bit Kai’s chest, leaving another mark.
• Kai’s cock was trapped between them, leaking steadily. Leo reached down and stroked it rough.
• “Come for me,” Leo growled.
• Kai came with a deep groan. His hole clenched tight around Leo. Cum spilled over Leo’s hand and across his own stomach.
• Leo fucked him through it then buried himself deep and came hard. He filled Kai again, pulse after pulse.
• They stayed locked together, breathing heavy.
• Leo pulled out slowly and watched his cum leak from Kai’s hole. He pushed two fingers in, spreading it around.
• “Mine,” Leo said.
• Kai grabbed his wrist but did not pull the fingers out. “You are getting greedy.”
• “Yeah. And you love it.”
• They cleaned up and fell onto the bed. Kai pulled Leo against his chest even though his ass must have been sore as hell.
• The phone rang on the nightstand. Leo answered.
• His father’s voice. “Good work tonight. The Morettis lost millions. But they are coming back harder. Stay inside the compound tomorrow. Both of you.”
• Leo hung up and told Kai.
• Kai nodded. “Good. Gives us time to plan the next move.”
• Leo traced a scar on Kai’s stomach. “And time for me to fuck you again in the morning.”
• Kai rolled his eyes but his hand slid down to squeeze Leo’s ass. “You are going to be the death of me.”
• “Probably. But what a way to go.”
• They fell asleep like that. Naked. Marked. Covered in each other’s cum.
• Outside the compound the war was getting bloodier. The Morettis were regrouping. Traitors might still be hiding. But inside the room, for a few hours, it was just the two of them.
• Leo woke up once in the middle of the night. Kai was still holding him. Leo smiled in the dark and pressed closer.
• He wanted more than protection now. He wanted Kai completely. Topping him, bottoming for him, fighting him, fucking him. All of it.
• And he was going to have it.
• Even if the whole mafia world tried to burn down around them.
• The next morning would bring new plans and new dangers.
• But right now Leo had the one man he could not get enough of right where he wanted him.
• Under him and inside him, in every way that mattered.
