Chapter Thirty-One

Mase

The morning after his video call with Jazz, Mase woke yet again in a good mood. It lifted when he stepped off the elevator from the garage onto the first floor of HC, only to tank a few minutes later.

“Morning,” Dee said as she stepped out of the kitchen, coffee cup in hand.

“Morning.”

“I like that look on you, cher.”

“What look?”

“The one that says you and Jazz are doing things I don’t even want to think about.”

Mase chuckled. “That obvious?”

“Only because you’re both wearing the same smile.”

“Is he back already?”

She gave a nod and a wink. “I must admit, his smile has an edge of wariness to it.”

Mase wrapped an arm around her shoulder and leaned down to say quietly, “You work on him from your end. I’ll work on him from mine.”

“Mason Hart, I just told you that I don’t want to think about what you’re doing with your end.”

Mase threw back his head and laughed. Dee’s scandalized look was all for show. She knew everything that went on in HC, raunchy or not. She was the mother hen, and Wade was the drill sergeant. He had to admit that it was nice to have them both.

Being undercover was wearing on him. When this assignment was over, he’d give one of the other guys a chance at deep cover. Maybe for a few months he wouldn’t have to pretend he was straight, and he could really be with Jazz.

Mase dropped a kiss on Dee’s head and left her to her work. As he rounded the corner, he almost ran into Ax. They both took a step back and nodded at each other.

Mase moved around him. He was a few steps toward the gym when Ax said, “He didn’t know.”

There was no question who ‘he’ was, but Mase wondered what it was that Nick hadn’t known. Had Russ finally admitted the whole truth? Curiosity got the better of him, and he turned around to face Ax.

“Are you saying he didn’t know what an asshole Russel Hart is?”

“No. I think he had an idea about that.” Ax smirked. “He didn’t know your dad was moving here—or at least, he didn’t know until it was a done deal.”

Mase nodded, unsure what else to say.

“He fights with him, too…about you.”

“Nick?”

“Yeah. Ever since I’ve known him, he’s been fighting with Russ about letting you be. He did everything he could to keep Russ from moving here. He hasn’t told him the address to HC. He’s doing his best to protect you both, to give you what you both want. He feels stuck in the middle, and I have no idea how the fuck to help him.”

“Tell him he’s not fired.”

Ax snorted. “That needs to come from you. He wants a relationship with you, Mase, but he does have loyalty to your dad. He’s torn.”

“How many times do I have to say no?”

“Nick isn’t exaggerating about his health. He’s not in good shape. You said you were glad he didn’t turn Nick away. Imagine if he hadn’t turned you away.
