No Rest For the Wicked

Kyle awoke from a sound sleep to the bone-deep signal of his comms notifying him of an incoming call. The preset tone meant it could only be one person.

“<<I was sleeping,>>” he muttered in Russian.

“<<Where?>>” Alexei demanded. “<<I’m at the apartment and you’re not here.>>”

“<<I’m at Jamie’s place.>>”

The heavy silence on the other side of the line made Kyle burrow his face into his pillow for a few seconds, biting back a yawn. He was lying on his stomach, sheets pooled at his waist, and didn’t really want to move, but he recognized the stressors in Alexei’s voice as something that needed to be dealt with.

“<<You’re where?>>” Alexei asked, sounding both furious and worried at the same time.

“<<You had your minder, I had mine.>>”

“<<We need to talk.>>”

“<<Right now?>>”

“<<Yes, right now.>>”

Kyle felt the bed dip a little beneath him as Jamie shifted position. A strong arm slid over his waist and Kyle wasn’t at all surprised to feel warm lips press a surprisingly chaste kiss to the skin between his shoulder blades.

“That your brother?” Jamie asked sleepily.

“Yes,” Kyle said. “He wants to meet up.”

“Tell him to come here.”

“You sure?”

“If he’s with Katie, she knows the way. If not, I can give you the address.”

Kyle ended up passing along the address before Alexei cut the line in his usual brusque way, leaving silence in his wake. Kyle seriously thought about going back to sleep, food and his brother be damned. He rolled over onto his back instead, slinging an arm over Jamie’s shoulders so he could pull him down into a lazy good morning kiss, despite their morning breath.

“If I’m any judge of older brothers, being one myself, Alexei is probably breaking the speed limit to make it here, so we should get up,” Jamie murmured against his mouth.

“It’s too damn early to be logical.”

“It’s almost 1200. I’ll get the coffee started before we jump in the shower.”

Kyle narrowed his eyes. “Real coffee?”

“Pretty sure I have some beans around here.”

“Coffee.” Kyle kissed Jamie again. “I don’t think I’ve ever tasted that stuff before.”

“Go start the shower. I’ll join you in a couple of minutes.”

They’d fallen asleep well after dawn after a long, fantastic night of sex. He’d come out of it aching for once and exhausted in a way he hadn’t felt in years. Even though his body had set itself back to rights, the memory was enough to put Kyle in a good mood despite Alexei’s call.

They slid out of bed and briefly went their separate ways. Kyle went into the bathroom, the space reminding him of the resort spa he, Alexei, and their younger sisters had saved up money to send their parents to as a New Year’s Eve gift.

White tile gleamed across the floor, differing from the pale gray sandstone tile that lined the walk-in shower, which was big enough to fit two people. Beside it stood a large, free-standing tub that had startled Kyle when they finally showered off their exertions sometime after dawn.
