The super nice-looking Alec only had eyes for Keyes even though Clyde and Manners followed Alec out, standing with him in a small circle just beyond the now closed doors. Keyes was generally fierce when angered, which based on the way his fists kept tightening and his brawny biceps flexed, he clearly was, and with good cause. His gentle giant friend looked ready to fist fight the world if need be.
Another startling find was that Keyes didn’t look as out of place with Alec as he thought he might. Dev swallowed the lump of envy clogging his throat and put the binoculars down. He still watched the overall scene. Keyes had found the life Dev coveted the most.
Whether Keyes or Alec knew, they wore their devotion to each other for the world to see. It was right there, even at this distance. Dev could feel their love from his hiding spot. How Keyes must have struggled to learn how to deal with the genuine affection for someone so polar opposite.
Dev could say the same thing about him and Cash. Except Keyes was a far more likable person than Dev could ever hope to be.
How brave was Alec to willingly put himself out there with such a risk from his club looming over them. Damn.
Someone above their station in life wanted Keyes, and Keyes was smart enough not to turn away from it.
Dev’s heart stuttered violently at the impact of that thought. He looked down to make sure the useless organ hadn’t fallen out of his chest with the way it bumped around like it did.
Images of the handsome Cash staring at Dev with the same devotion pouring through his gaze that Alec used with Keyes… All the dangers Cash was taking to be with him. Same as Alec. They’d both completely disregarded appearances, employment, and personal safety to help in whatever way they could.
Cash had put everything he held dear on the line to be with Dev. Everything. Shanna had stressed as much.
The scene playing out in front of him could easily have been between him and Cash. Except for the badass Ferrari they were walking up to. Dev didn’t expect Cash had that kind of money. Dev was probably closer to being able to buy that kind of cage.
Well, goddamn. Dev’s brows furrowed. He might have had that kind of dough if he hadn’t had to cancel his fucking ink appointments…
He shook his head at the sudden violence inside him. Stay in the moment, dumbass.
It was fucking hard to do, knowing he’d lost tens of thousands of dollars at the government’s demand. More than that even. There were potential long-term effects to canceling all these appointments.
Breathe.
Remember Cash’s special way of speaking directly to his soul. The sweet way he made love, the perfect amount of gentle persuasion and hot as fuck thrusts while rubbing against his prostate. Cash was the kind of man who stuck around, even when things went south. No question in Dev’s mind. If the table were turned, Cash would risk everything, exactly as Alec was doing right now. He’d use every connection he had to free Dev of the jail cell.
Love.
Such a simple four-letter word for such a complex, scary as hell connection. Not even an emotion. A state of being so into another’s soul you lost yourself in the best possible way. Dev had tumbled off into the abyss, headfirst, eyes wide open. When he did finally reemerge back into the world, he hoped he’d be someone he liked a whole lot better.
Not that he was ready to commit his undying love to Cash.
He wanted to. Someday.
Cash was hotter than Alec. His agent was the most beautiful man on the planet.
He wanted the dream of him and Cash as a couple. Them being the ones who raised the girls. If they survived this mission Cash had dragged them into, maybe they might have another couple of kids. Chestnut-haired babies with green eyes and big lips. Since he was fantasizing, he tossed three babies in the mix. All boys. They had the two girls. Those little guys didn’t need any of his DNA messing up their genetic tree, but he’d raise them like his own. Love them for his whole life. Make them proud that he’d been their old man. Just like he wanted to do with the girls.
He'd never be out carousing when he could be at home with his family. They’d have drive-in movie night, birthday parties, baseball and softball games. He’d go to all that shit.
Drive-in movies probably meant a daddys’ night out. He laughed to himself. A porn drive-in movie. Did they make such things? He’d fuck Cash on his bike, see if that bitch held, then parade his mister around on a leash, making sure everyone knew to whom Cash belonged.
