Chapter Thirteen
~Griffin~
The next morning I was still reeling from what had happened between me and Matt. After so many years of late-night conversations and growing closer and closer to our breaking points, weâd finally taken a small step toward our uncertain future.
But more than my happiness at finally being physical with him, I was confused as to how it possible that a man like Matt Lynch was still a virgin.
Part of me was glad that he hadnât had to use his body to keep his cover, and I was secretly thrilled that he really hadnât slept with Kenny. Lower parts of my anatomy were happy that when we took the next step, I would be the first man to fully claim him. To show him the kind of pleasure I was desperate to give him.
But I was also worried. I cared about him. Deeply. Definitely more than I should. And I knew that he felt the same way about me.
The difference was, I knew my feelings were real, were based on years of experience and knowledge leading to an informed feeling of affectionâ¦maybe even love.
For Matt, I was the only person from the outside world heâd spoken to in four years. The only light in the dark.
How could I ever believe his feelings were genuine?
And how would either of us be able to sacrifice the other if we needed to?
But damn it, I wanted him. Wanted to claim him completely. Own him. Make him mine and keep him.
I just wasnât sure that was fair to him.
One day heâd be free. Heâd be out of the cartel and able to go and do whatever he pleased. Was it fair to him to stake my claim before heâd even had a chance to live his own life?
A knock on the door interrupted my internal whining and I forced myself to smile when Carter walked in.
âHey boss,â he said, closing the door before striding over and dropping into a chair in front of my desk. âYou ready?â
âOf course,â I told him. âWhatâve you got for me?â
Carter was one of ours and mostly kept tabs on the enforcers and guards assigned to this house. Somehow, no matter what happened out on the streets, the information managed to flow back to the enforcers, so it was an easy way to get updates without needing more undercovers out in the field.
âChip and Knox are acting weird as hell,â he said, leaning forward and resting his elbows on his knees. âTheyâve clammed up a lot lately. I donât know if theyâre suspicious of me and Peter, or if theyâre working some side deal they donât want to get back to you.â
âWell, Chip is an idiot,â I said, rolling my eyes. âSo if theyâre into something, Knox will be the one making a plan.â
Which was worrisome, because Knox was probably the smartest guy in the entire Detroit clan. He should have been Duke, hell, he probably should have been Prince, but he was happy as an enforcer and wanted to stay there.
