Standing in the queue for the car, Jakob tapped his foot as he tried to get Jordan off the phone. “It’s none of your fucking business what I’m doing. We’re not even in the same department, and I’m trying to keep this goddamn company from getting sued left and right.”

Jordan laughed. “I heard Mason wouldn’t even take his call.”

Jakob grimaced, feeling a rush of bile in his throat. “That doesn’t mean it’s over. And if you want to sit back and watch this fall apart, that’s your business.”

Jordan hummed. “Well, have a good trip, then.”

Jakob hung up on him, then set his out of office from his phone before making it up to the counter. He had already ordered the car online—a little mid-size sedan for them to travel in. He felt like the worst person—the worst monster—for lying to West, but he knew if he told him the truth now, West would spit in his face and miss the chance to see his dad. And if something happened to him and West didn’t get to see him again, his lover would never forgive himself.

Jakob was already living with all of his past sins, so what was one more?

He finished the transaction, then snagged the keys and headed for the parking lot. It felt strange to slide behind the wheel of something that wasn’t his—to be living this life that wasn’t his. It felt like playing dress-up, and while knowing he could keep West close for just a little bit longer soothed the ache, he wished he had another way.

But Jakob had never been very good at making the right choice.

He made his way to West’s apartment, trying not to look too closely at it. He hadn’t heard from the repair companies yet, but he hoped that by the time they got back to St. James, at least some of it would be done. West deserved to sleep in his own bed without compromising his own comfort. He deserved to shower in his own space without having to head to a friend’s house so he could be properly clean. And those were just the bare minimum—far less than what LPM owed them all.

He took the stairs two at a time, knocking softly, and his heart gave a little thud against his ribs when West opened the door and grinned at him. He still looked exhausted, but the night at the hotel—the food and vigorous sex and waking up in Jakob’s arms—seemed to have taken some of the weight off.

When the door closed behind him, Jakob hooked his fingers into West’s belt loops and tugged him close, leaning in for a kiss. “How do you always manage to look so hot?”

“The lack of AC in here?” West laughed into a second kiss and shook his head when he pulled back. “I look like an actual bed goblin, okay?”

“I don’t know what the hell that is, but I think I’m into it,” Jakob told him, dragging a curled knuckle along the side of his jaw.
