Keyes brows raised as he nodded at Cash, most likely commiserating with the infinite amount of shit remark. “Alec and I started fuckin’ and it was the best of my life. I couldn’t stay away. I just kept goin’ back, over and over. Even through all the raids with the club and everything else goin’ on, the miles on my Harley kept risin’ to get back to him. I figure I’m goat-fucked without him now.”
“I feel the same way. Although I wish you had said it differently,” Alec added. “For me, it was love at first sight. Instantly in love and I had to find a way to make him love me back. It took quite a bit of effort and persuasion…”
Keyes barked out a genuine belly laugh and shrugged out of Dev’s hold. Keyes and Alec were drawn together, Alec sliding underneath Keyes’s heavy arm as if he belonged there. Seeing the truth of their attraction did wonders for Dev’s heart.
Dev nodded, his gaze shifting to Cash who continued to stare at him. The sudden emotion building inside Dev was too raw. He couldn’t voice the depth with which he had grown to care for that secret agent man.
Chapter 13
“What else should we know?” Alec asked.
The young attorney impressed Cash. More than he’d been with anyone in a long time. Alec was sharp, easily processing the bullet points Cash gave while not losing his focus on his primary objective: how any of this affected Keyes.
“If something happens to me, I want you to raise the girls. Especially after seein’ how tight y’all are with each other,” Dev said casually. “They love you.”
Since Dev was watching Cash instead of the big guy, he missed Keyes’s initial reaction. Cash chuckled at the horror written all over Keyes’s face, lifting a finger toward Keyes to direct Dev’s attention there.
Alec cast a quick glance at his boyfriend too. It was the perfect comedic reaction to ease everyone’s tension.
“Well, at least we got one good night’s sleep last night,” Alec teased.
“Good luck with any more.” A rushed exhale spoke to the honesty of Cash’s flippant words, knowing his own plight with sleep over the last few days. Actually, he wasn’t sure he’d slept a complete night since he’d left his vacation in Arkansas to join this operation.
“It broke me to cut ties with the club,” Keyes confessed. “The only shit that got me through was this man right here.” For two men who had hidden their relationship for almost a year, they didn’t shy away from shared affection. Keyes casually returned the tight hold Alec had around Keyes’s chest. “And now I’m worried about Dev. If they find out what you’ve done, you’ll be unalived that day.”
“Nobody can fuckin’ know. You’re the only person I’ve told the truth to. Every department and agency in the government that knows anything about the Disciples thinks Cash fucked his way into bein’ my undercover boyfriend.” Dev lifted a hand, halting whatever Keyes planned to say with the questioning look on his face.
“Okay, listen. Truth is I fucked Cash. Then he fucked me into the mattress. I accidentally recorded it. You know how I take pictures of pretty things. Not much prettier than that man over there,” Dev said directly to Keyes, giving Cash a rare moment of praise. “He’s really fuckin’ beautiful when he comes. I’m gonna ink that look on my body, probably my belly. I gotta always remember how beautiful that moment is. But the videos were only a happy accident. And I didn’t know we were bein’ recorded.”
Heat crawled up Cash’s cheeks as Alec and Keyes stared at him in confusion.
Cash groaned as Dev veered off course from the facts with all that unnecessary information, making him wildly uncomfortable. He summarized it to move the story forward. “Dev made a sex tape of us without telling me.” For the record, if Cash had anything to say about it, his orgasm expression wasn’t going to be etched on any part of Dev’s body. “When Dev found out the truth about my employment, and why I was here, he watched the video on a loop to taunt me while on his government-issued cell phone.”
Cash rested a shoulder against the doorframe, crossing his arms over his chest. The range of looks on Alec’s face was priceless, showing that he immediately understood the ramifications.
“Dev says he didn’t realize that everything, all audio and video, was being recorded. My peers saw the sex tape, my leads also saw it. People in the US Attorney General’s office saw it. I believe it’s still an active record.”
For the first time, Alec cracked a genuine smile that quickly turned into a laugh. He unwound himself from Keyes to laugh harder.
“The way he makes it sound…” Dev’s hand shot out toward Cash as if he could be talking about anyone other than him. “Seems like I should’ve known about my phone being DEA public record.” Dev couldn’t hold his annoyance due to the unfortunate hilarity of the situation. He started to laugh at himself. “But I didn’t know they had that kind of control over my screen.”
