CLINK.

I blinked awake.

Stretching beneath the sheets, I flipped over for the full view of a naked Brutal setting a breakfast tray on the nightstand.

“I’ve had this exact sex dream.”

A remark like that usually got a laugh out of him. He was silent sitting on the edge of the bed. He slid something across the sheets to me.

“My phone?” I scrunched up my face. “Want me to unlock it?”

I expected this request sooner. I made that thing unhackable—something Killian probably cursed me for over the last few days.

He tapped the screen and the picture of me and my father. No, he tapped my father.

“Dad,” I said. “Do you want me to call him?”

Yes.

“Why? Don’t you believe me? I told you everything.”

Brutal’s lips were soft on my forehead. I wasn’t sure what the kiss was meant to communicate, but when he pulled back, he tapped the phone again.

I glanced at the steaming mug and breakfast quesadilla cut into ten slices.

“Can I eat first at least? All I’ve had for two days is what can fit through metal bars.”

This seemed to be okay because he got up and left me to it. Moving around the room, Brutal straightened up the mess we made.

I nibbled on my food as I watched him. It was good. Really good. But it would be considering a man like Baris had the patience and attention it took to recraft a recipe.

He bent over, picking up the pieces of carpet I ripped out, and I traced the curves of that shapely backside. Watching him clean was interesting. Watching him clean naked was Christmas.

Baris started in the same place. His bookshelf. Then he continued on from left to right. He dusted the bookshelf—ten wipes over the tomes. He straightened his already perfect dresser. The chair I moved a centimeter was pushed back. Finally, he arrived at the carpet—to give me the show.

“I’ve definitely had this dream.” That finally got me a chuckle. “Do you want to ask my dad about Kieran?”

Brutal faced me. No.

“No?” I repeated. “Is this a meet-the-parents thing? Because we can arrange that when we’re all on the same page about this relationship shift.”

Again, a headshake.

“I’m afraid you’re going to have to give me a hint, my love.” I held my hand out, lacing it through his. “What do I say when I tell him why I called?”

Brutal looked away. I opened my mouth to repeat the request, and followed his line of sight. Brutal was gazing at the bookshelf.

Books.

“You want to talk about the ledger.” It wasn’t a question. His nod answered it anyway.

“The boys are out searching for it now. There’s nothing my father can say that’ll get them closer.”

He gazed at me steadily.

“But that’s not why you want him to talk to you,” I said. “Okay, fine. I’ll call now.”

I unlocked my phone.

My father’s new residence was a smaller, swankier home in Waterford. It was less of a nursing home and more a complex reserved for seniors. Dad was in the middle of interviewing private nurses to monitor his conditions.
