Chapter Twenty-One

Baze

He felt like today had lasted for thirty-six hours already. Between the library, the diner, and the meeting with the Feds, he was ready to crawl into bed with Pen and hold her while they both slept. And speaking of Pen. She’d kissed him. She’d kissed him. At first he’d been shocked, and then he’d been turned the fuck on.

He wanted her; he was perpetually hard. He’d almost jumped her at the library twice and then at Linc’s house he’d been moments away from second base when Dom had walked in.

Baze was doing his damnedest to give her the time she needed to feel good about their relationship. To feel good about him. But man, he fucking wanted to be buried in her tight body more than he wanted his next breath.

It didn’t help that they were trying to reconnect while a violent, dangerous killer stalked his pack. And now? Now he had to meet with an outsider to appease his best friend’s mate.

It was ultimately Baze’s call on whether they heard Matias out. He could tell the moment he and Jace had locked eyes that afternoon back at the diner. The same way he could tell in that moment that Jace was still wary about it, and would be more than okay if Baze wanted to say no.

At some point over the last week Baze and Jace had learned to communicate without saying anything at all. It wasn’t mind reading; he’d asked Pen. She said it was more like they knew each other well enough that no words were needed.

While everyone was living in the same house, he needed to have Pen teach daily classes. They could call them All the Things We Don’t Know About Our Own Culture 101.

“He’s late.” Jace checked his watch for the second time in as many minutes. “If he can’t be on time to a simple—”

“I think your watch is fast my friend.” Both Jace and Baze looked up to see Matias striding toward them, his large frame taking up the majority of the alleyway to the back entrance of their borrowed warehouse.

Jace unlocked the door and let the three of them inside. “My watch is never wrong.” Making Matias meet them here was Jace’s idea, obviously. Physiological warfare was bred into the kid like a genetic trait.

“Tell us how you can help. Why was Maddi so adamant that we speak with you?” Jace leaned against the small stainless-steel sink along the longest wall. This was the room they used to clean up after they were done working on their prisoner.

Matias talked with his hands, gesturing with almost every word. “My pack and I, we’ve gone against men like your Franklin before.” He moved his head too, leaning it to one side and the other. “In Europe, packs are not a thing of the past. And where there is power, there is corruption.”

Baze almost laughed out loud, remembering his conversation with Penelope last night. Apparently she wasn’t the only one who thought power and corruption went hand in hand.
