Chapter 25. Grigg's Warehouse, Brooklyn. November 20th

Rama slowly lowers the phone, toying with a lighter. Her words are ringing in his mind and he doesn’t know what to do with this new knowledge. Caleb was his friend, his ally, his sometimes lover. The man had kept secrets—Rama was not so besotted that he didn’t realize that.

But this is more than a secret. It’s a betrayal that stings almost as much seeing Emma in his clubs had been.

Caleb had always protected her. Even from the people he trusted—she was sacrosanct and untouchable. With this new revelation, another piece of the puzzle that is the Morgan family falls into place, shifting everything into focus a little more.

There is a slight tap on the door and Rama looks up, away from the bar where Caleb had once fucked him.

Memories are dangerous things. “Come in,” he calls, swallowing the last of his scotch.

Kai opens the door and steps inside. “The delivery arrived, sir.”

A grim smile creases his face, and Rama stands. Straightens his suit coat. “Then we shouldn’t keep our guest waiting any longer.”

Kai follows Rama out of the office, through the back of the club to the waiting car. Once inside, Rama glances at his bodyguard.

“Any issues?”

Kai shakes his head. “Nothing.” Satisfied, Rama leans back.

It’s been four days since the attack. Four days of holding the Oliver thug. And he’s done very little to drag information from the man.

Seth would have shot him by now. He would have shot him there in the glass and broken restaurant. Seth is, even now, driven by his fury when roused, and nothing infuriates him quite like a threat to Emma.

Rama isn’t impulsive. He’s quiet and methodical and deliberate. And that deliberation has stayed his hand for the past four days. But that’s over now.

“Has he told you anything useful?” Kai asks, glancing at his boss.

Rama shrugs, a careless movement that is too stiff with tension. “He’s been very talkative. But nothing useful.”

Kai makes a soft noise of displeasure, but Rama filters it out, settling deeper into himself.

Here, there is rarely a need to display this side of himself. Here, he is the exiled king and his people adore him.

But he grew up in the streets of Bangkok, and that is a world completely apart from this.

Savage and gentle and strange—a city that demands all of that and more from her king.

He wants to show Emma that—the beauty of his home. The brutality it breeds in him.

Rama releases the breath in his lungs, and—absurdly—wishes for drugs. Anything to distill the thrumming anger and anticipation in his veins.

The car slows, and he’s moving, exploding out of it before it comes to a full stop. Kai curses and fumbles to follow the younger man. Rama ignores him completely as he strides into the building.

Two Thais are sitting in chairs at a small table, eating noodles. Their eyes go wide at the sight of Rama and they scramble to their feet, shouting for their compatriots.

“Where is it?” Rama asks, ignoring the panic.
