Reid slapped Alec’s forearm. “Well, bud, I’m gonna take off.”

“Don’t you leave without Zeke,” Alec growled.

“I told him I was leaving at five and it’s two minutes ‘til. Evidently he’s changed his

mind about going home with me.” Reid got to his feet. “Sorry I’ve been lax on the books, but I plan to get everything caught up tonight.”

“Don’t worry about the damn books.”

Reid picked up the cooler and headed out. He knew he should thank Jace for a good

day, but he wasn’t in the mood to lie to the man. Before he reached the gate, Kade and a barechested Zeke stepped into the backyard. It took Reid a moment, but his gaze eventually landed on the bloody T-shirt wrapped around Zeke’s hand. Dropping the cooler, Reid raced over. “What happened?”

“Tripped on a damn buckle in the sidewalk and cut myself on a beer bottle,” Zeke explained.

“It needs to be stitched up,” Kade informed Reid. “I didn’t want to mess with it too much for obvious reasons, but, from what I could see, it looks pretty bad.”

Reid dug his keys out of his pocket. “Let’s go.”

“Don’t forget the cooler,” Zeke reminded Reid.

“That’s the least of my concerns.”

“I’m fine. I don’t plan to bleed to death in the time it’ll take you to load a cooler into the Escalade.”

Reid retrieved the cooler, and Kade opened the gate for him. “I need to talk to Lark, but don’t leave without me because I’m coming with you,” Kade informed them.

Reid fought the urge to hand Kade the keys and tell him to take care of it himself. How big of an ass was he for being jealous of Zeke’s renewed relationship with Kade? Fuck. He hoisted the cooler into the SUV before climbing into the driver’s seat. As soon as Zeke was in the passenger seat, Reid reached across him and fastened his seatbelt. “You doing okay?”

Zeke shook his head. “I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings earlier.”

Reid brushed the apology away. “Let’s just get you to the hospital.”

“I don’t think it’s as bad as Kade does. It probably needs a few stitches, but it’s just a cut.”

The back door opened and Kade jumped in. “Sorry about that.”

“No problem,” Reid replied, trying his best to understand Kade’s request to accompany them.

It was a short, quiet ride to the hospital, and by the time Reid pulled up to the Emergency Room doors he was about to go out of his mind. The closeness he’d felt with Zeke over the last few days was gone. It felt like a wall had been erected between them in the span of ninety minutes. “I’ll let you off here and find a place to park.”

Kade got out and opened the front passenger door. Zeke surprised Reid by leaning over the console and giving him a soft kiss. “Wish me luck. I hate needles,” Zeke whispered.

“I’ll be in the waiting room if you need me,” Reid said, feeling a little lighter. He waited until Zeke had disappeared through the sliding glass doors before pulling out.
