“Not like I figured Jace to be much of a saint in the first place, so why tell me?” he seethed.
Taken off guard by the anger rushing through his veins, he found he had to bite back a growl of his own. The thought of Jace being with somebody else left a bad aftertaste in Link’s mouth. Jace was his … or at least if what Sol said was true.
“Several reasons actually. Mostly because I cherish Jace a great deal and, if you end up breaking his heart, I’ll be one of the kitty cats tearing your carcass limb from limb even after you’re dead,” Solomon growled.
Link unintentionally shivered at the ice cold sneer he got from Solomon. No matter what the man might be, Link did not want to be the target of his anger. Also, it wasn’t often he met someone with a cold enough tone to make him shiver.
“As for the other part, stuff like this is murder on a relationship if discovered later on. The whole honesty, don’t you trust me, how could you crap that is likely to transpire in those situations can’t always be rectified. The least I can do is let you and Jace try to work things out on your own terms, giving you equal footing at least.”
“You’re just full of generosity, aren’t you?” Link growled and rubbed his temple when his right eye started twitching. He hated when that happened. It meant Sol had struck a nerve.
“Always,” Solomon smirked, “and depending on how long it takes for you to get your head out of your ass, I will tell Jace everything about your darling Debbie and why you’re working with Mika in the first place,” he warned.
“How the fuck do you know about them!?” Link snarled, cursing himself for not managed to sneak a gun in with him.
Raising an eyebrow, Solomon whistled. “Them, huh? I hadn’t quite reckoned with there being a them .”
Fuck! Solomon had tricked him?
“I heard your barkeep mention someone called Debra, figured she was your girlfriend or something. Guess I undershot it a bit.”
Before Link could strangle the man for what he knew, the car stopped and the window on Solomon’s side went down, revealing another attractive man with short brown hair and a golden gaze turning to scrutinize Link. “Hey…” the man said, “aren’t you…?”
“I’ll fill you guys in later; just leave it for now, Kett. And no running to your brothers to blab about it either. Don’t think I didn’t notice you taking over as the pride gossiper when Jace was away.” Solomon scolded the pretty man who straightened, looking thoroughly offended.
“I’m not gonna tell,” the young man objected, but a soft pink blush still colored his cheeks.
Liar, liar…
One thing was sure though, while Link might not entirely trust these guys, they sure had a helluva nice assortment of men. He also couldn’t help thinking Jace still happened to be the prettiest and definitely the most enticing of the bunch.
After the window closed a large iron gate opened, a small blue spark telling Link the gate, as well as the entire fencing, appeared to be one live wire. Beyond the gate, the view actually made Link gape.
So far there was no sight of a building; instead they kept driving along a dirt road, disappearing into what looked to be a whole frickin’ forest inside the fence. Not that trees were lacking in general around these parts, but he could have sworn some of those trees looked to be pulled straight out of the jungle, mixed in with large oak trees and ferns, it was rather breathtaking.
“I’ll give you to the end of the month.” Solomon interrupted by saying, “That’s how long you’ve got to tell him before I do.”
“Just who the fuck do you think you are? And what makes you think I’ll even be here for that long?” Link argued.
Bad enough having Mika pinning him down for drugs without being pushed around by an oversized tabby to boot.
“I’ve got a hunch; let’s just leave it at that. And the end of the month should be enough time for you guys to figure things out,
