Three separate security agencies plus a private investigator on retainer. I’m surprised you don’t know his shoe size.” “I do, I just can’t tell you,” Reed said calmly.
“So I shouldn’t try to make him my sub?” The waiter brought a carafe of Kona coffee and cups all around. Reed poured as the waiter set down the cream and sugar. Caden looked at the waiter and shivered.
“Can’t you put them in regular leathers in the winter? They must be freezing in a bow tie and boy shorts.” Caden put a small amount of cream in his coffee.
“If they were they’d complain to Jim. They like running around half naked, it means better tips,” Reed told him. “And the waiters want someone to take care of them as opposed to the subs who think they’re taking care of us.”
“Who are you kidding? They have all of us wrapped around their pinky fingers. I ask again, who is the sub and who is the Master?” Caden looked askance and almost spit out his coffee. The others had heard Cisco complain so many times, they ignored him.
“Cisco, be honest, you’re very happy with Greg and wouldn’t change a thing,” Bull said.
“Unfortunately you’re right. I fell into a trap of my own making. I didn’t want love, yet it hit me over the head with a sledgehammer.”
Reed turned toward Caden. “You’ll be the next to go, if not Masato, someone else. But if the boys think Masato is for you and if you like him even a little bit, you’re in for a hell of a ride,” Reed told him darkly.
CHAPTER SIX
“I do like Masato,” Caden said as they served his eggs.
“ Pride goeth before a fall. Remember how much you like him when the time comes.” Reed put ketchup on his home fries.
“What are you talking about?” Caden was getting rapidly annoyed.
“I can’t tell you. But I can say this, most people wouldn’t consider this a bad thing. But you’re pigheaded, so you might.”
“He soothed me. Everything pressing going on in my head just went away when he looked at me. He came easy to my hand on Friday night. Maybe I was meant to be the one to break through the ice,” Caden said with satisfaction.
“Oh, you’ll break through the ice all right. The question is what are you going to do with him when you get him? Someone is going to get hurt. My advice is to wait three months until you see the file.” Reed picked up a piece of very crisp bacon and put it in his mouth.
“These two have been circling around each other since August. I’ll bet a hundred bucks he has him in three weeks.” Bear took out his wallet and threw a hundred on the table.
“It took me six months but I had impediments. Once I got him home it only took five days. Put me in for a week.” Gary threw five twenties on the table.
“I don’t know what the impediment is but it took me six months, I’ll bet he waits the whole three.” Bull took out two fifties.
Cisco lifted his head from his plate and said, “Greg fixes me better eggs at home. You have to have him show your chef. I’m in for a hundred. It took me a couple of weeks, but Caden’s been warned. I give it six weeks.” Cisco threw down a fifty, two twenties and a ten.
Reed was about to take out his wallet when Bear stopped him. “You can’t bet. You know the impediment. You get to hold the money for the rest of us.”
“Well I’ve made an arrangement to do a scene with him tonight, so we’ll see who’s right. If I don’t like what I see, I win and you all lose.” Caden looked smug. “But Gary has the inside track, I really like him. Bear, how goes it with the Pest?” Caden asked.
“He’s taken to eating my shoes instead of shitting in them.” The whole table burst out in laughter.
“Why don’t you find a farm to take him? You could tell Brian he’d be better off on a farm with room to run.” Gary hid his smile behind his hand.
“Your dog is a Shetland sheepdog and you don’t live on a freaking farm. We live on a farm , you ass. That’s why Brian wanted a
