Chapter 31 Kira
KIRA
When I wake up the next morning, I’m in bed alone, but I can hear the guys talking downstairs. I slide out of bed, take care of business, take a shower, and brush my teeth.
I go downstairs and stop dead in my tracks at the scene in front of me.
Tivon has Ari backed into the kitchen counter, kissing him like his life depends on it, with Jason watching them, practically drooling.
What catches my attention is Tyler pouting with his eyes locked on them.
I slide into the chair beside him and lean his way.
“What’s going on?” I whisper, my eyes going back to Tivon and Ari.
The kiss is rough, like they’re trying to devour each other, and hot as fuck.
Tyler slides his phone toward me with a picture pulled up, and my breath catches in my throat.
It’s Ari bent over on all fours with cum dripping out of him. “So, Ari and Tivon?”
“Yes,” Tyler grouches, “and those evil motherfuckers sent me multiple pictures of the encounter. Then I have to come downstairs and watch them practically dry hump each other.”
“It’s so hot, though,” Jason breathes and openly adjusts himself. “This is how I found them when I came downstairs.”
“We can hear you,” Ari pants when he pulls from Tivon’s lips.
Gavin and Keon come into the kitchen and get seated around the table.
Tivon pecks Ari’s lips one more time before walking toward me.
I give a little squeak of surprise when he plucks me from my chair and sits down with me on his lap.
I wrap my arms around his neck and lay my head on his shoulder.
Tivon kisses my forehead and pulls me tighter against his body.
I feel his hard cock against my ass through his sweatpants, and my entire body flushes.
“We need to move again,” Ari says, pouring a cup of coffee, adding a little cream and sugar, just the way I like it, and slides it to me. “We also need to figure out what to do about Cryptic.”
“He’s definitely working under duress,” Tyler comments, glaring at the side of Ari’s head. “Did you really have to send those pictures to me, asshole?”
Ari grins, and it transforms his whole face.
I’ve never seen him so at ease, and I’m sure it has something to do with Tivon.
Their dynamic has been different from the beginning, and growing up with Kane, I know a Dominant when I see one, and Tivon fits that bill completely. “Yes. You didn’t appreciate them?”
“It was hot as fuck, but I wanted to be there the first time Tivon bent you to his will.”
“Oh, he bent for him,” Gavin responds. “That back arch was insane, Ari.”
“Shut up,” Tyler barks while everyone else laughs. Tyler groans while adjusting his dick. “All that cum dripping is ingrained in my brain.”
Ari shrugs. “Now I know what Jason feels when I fuck his pretty ass.” Ari pulls Jason up by his hand, sits down, and pulls him back on his lap. “Now, back on topic. We can’t do anything about Cryptic until Abraham and my father are out of the picture.”
“They should be the priority,” Keon says. “But since Cryptic seems to be on our side, maybe he can help.”
Ari nods. “I’ll get in contact with Nolan and Holden to see if they can find a way to speak with him without getting him killed.”
I lift my head to say something, and Tivon nuzzles into my neck, making every thought I had fly through the window. Just like Ari, he seems so much more relaxed, and I don’t think it's just because of the sex. “Have something to say?” Tivon whispers.
“You’re very distracting.”
Tivon chuckles, and it comes out rough. “So are you. I have your delectable ass grinding against my cock right now.”
Keon clears his throat and my eyes snap to his. He smiles, so I know he’s not mad, but it’s his dirty smile. The one he gives me when he touches me. “Having fun over there, Mama?”
“Yes,” I breathe when Tivon’s lips graze my neck. “Does this mean you’re all in?”
“Oh, hell yeah,” Tivon answers. “Are you wet right now?”
I feel my face flame, but I refuse to back down now. I’ve hidden for long enough. “I am.”
“Fuck,” Tyler groans, letting his forehead hit the table. “You guys are evil. I’m so fucking hard right now.”
Tivon’s hand slides up my thigh until his fingers are teasing the bottom of my shorts. I don’t even flinch when his fingers bump across my scars. “I bet this pussy is so pretty,” Tivon murmurs.
“You weren’t joking when you said you were all in,” I moan, only to be interrupted by a ringing phone.
Ari looks at his phone with a frown. “Unknown number.” He hits answers and turns on the speakerphone. “Hello?”
“I don’t have a lot of time.”
Ari’s eyebrows raise. “Cryptic?”
“Yes. Listen, I’m risking everything by calling, but you saved my brother, and I owe you for that. Abraham is going to make a move, and it’s a big one.”
The other guys are up and moving before Cryptic finishes his sentence. When I try to stand, Tivon holds me on his lap, and Ari does the same with Jason while the others start packing. “Why are you calling now, man?”
“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 long before 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.”
Tyler spins and starts walking backward. “Was I right about the size? Your asshole looks like it took some abuse.”
“Goddamnit, Tyler,” Ari growls. “Stop talking, and walk.”
“Fine,” Tyler says in a long, drawn out sigh.
Keon throws his arm around my shoulder and pulls me into his side. “How are you doing, Mama?”
“I’m okay. I’m worried about Ari.”
Keon looks over his shoulder at Ari and shrugs. “Whatever peace Tivon brought him is still there. Before, knowing that his father was that close would have sent him into a spiral.”
“What does this mean for all of us?”
“We go to them,” Keon replies with steel in his voice. “They’ve had the upper hand for too long. We finally caught a break with Cryptic.”
“We’re saving him, right?”
Keon smiles. “We are, Mama. He’s risked his life multiple times for us already.”
“Good. Do you know how his brother is doing?”
“I talked to Axel before we left, and he said he’s having nightmares. Sean and Kai ended up camping with him in the living room so he wasn’t alone.”
I wrap my arms around Keon’s waist and hug him tight. “I love you.”
Keon’s feet falter for a second before he’s squeezing me so tight I can barely breathe. “I love you too, Mama. So fucking much.”
The SUV comes into view, and the lights flash when someone unlocks it. “We stay together,” Tivon announces. “We’ll get another one if we need it.”
Keon opens the door and I climb into the back with Jason following behind me. Keon gets comfortable between us and Gavin and Tyler take the middle seat, with Tivon driving, and Ari in the passenger seat after they load the bags.
After a very bumpy drive to get out of the hiding spot, Tivon pulls out onto the main road, and I tune out all their planning.
It makes me nervous hearing them say they’re going to walk right into the lion’s den.
I lay my head against Keon’s shoulder and must have dozed off, because the next thing I know, the car jerks.
I lift my head. and Tivon is staring into the rearview mirror.
“Three cars,” he says to Ari, who is loading an AK and passing it back to Tyler.
One of the cars slams into the SUV, making us swerve again. Keon wraps his arms around me and Jason, pulling us in close to his body. “Hold on tight.”
“Take those motherfuckers out,” Ari barks, handing another AK to Gavin. He stabs the button for the sunroof, and they pop out.
“Cover your ears,” Keon instructs us, and we both bury our fingers in our ears.
I can still hear the gunfire and swallow against the panic when we swerve harder this time. Gavin and Tyler drop back in their seats to reload, and we swerve again.
This time the SUV starts to tip.
