Chapter Seventeen

Danny

Over the next ten days, I did my best to find Shae by hacking into whatever camera feeds I could. The team looked for him. Rawlings had people out everywhere and called in what favors he could. Ringo seemed particularly intense, which could be argued was his natural state, but he seemed different to me. I don’t know why he would feel responsible, but after a week and when he’d lost his cool and snapped at Diesel, Diesel sent him on a private bodyguard gig for five days.

Kane was even worse. It seemed like guilt hung over him like a cloud. And it also seemed like we’d gone back to mistrusting each other, as if the touching, the hand-job, and the kisses had never happened. As far as I was concerned the only good thing to have come out of the last week was that Kane had taken to defensive driving like a duck to water because as Jay had pointed out, with Kane’s sharp eyesight, nothing was getting past him. Judging tight distances was a science he excelled at, and he certainly wasn’t about to hit another car. Kane had shrugged, but I could tell he was pleased with the praise.

Jay added later that in his opinion it was like Kane had seen and reacted to things almost before they happened, which was fascinating. I didn’t think he had any pre-cog, but maybe there was something with his vision that differed from our eyes reacting to a movement and that allowed him to pick up on something instantaneously. I knew that involved brain signals, but maybe it wasn’t just that his brain processed faster, he just didn’t have a delay between seeing and reaction? I filed it away for later.

The second thing was that anything I cooked, he ate, which made me insanely happy. When Wednesday rolled around, and with my dad’s party on Saturday, I couldn’t put off asking him any longer, so over coffee when we were alone I took the plunge. “Do you want to get out of here for a couple of days?” Kane seemed to go really still, and he glanced up at me. I sighed at the wariness in his expression and got fed up with dancing around. “Did I do or say something that’s upset you?”

His eyes seemed to focus even more intently on mine, but he didn’t answer.

“Look, all I’m saying is, if for whatever reason, you’ve decided what we did was a mistake, or you don’t want me getting ideas that it meant something other than a mutual whatever, you don’t have to worry. I’m not suddenly gonna get all clingy or shit.” Annoyed, I took my tea to the sink and emptied it. My belly was churning enough without more liquid in there.

I sensed him behind me before I felt him. I turned around and he was right there. “You move quieter than Ringo,” I commented, simply to have something to say.

“I had practice,” he murmured in that low tone that went straight to my dick.
