That bastard

Sometimes Cole wondered if his life wouldn’t have been better if he’d sht about it often enough Especially the tined by Nolan Ryan

He didn’t care if the jerkwad had only been six Nobody touched Cole Saxon’s shit That included his little brother Actually, especially hione too far

Joel wasn’t getting his hands on them

Julian and Keira were Cole’s Sure, he thought it eird he liked them both That wasn’t normal, was it? And they were already married, he’d be the third wheel The interloper

Then there was the fact he’d never been with a man before Never even felt attracted to another dude He couldn’t understand his interest in this man But he kneas returned From both of them

Julian was one of his project ers Keira was his personal assistant They were always professional at work Except when they’d all shared a kiss after the Christ on work parties for the staff Hated paying for theed that But maybe now he understood the downside Alcohol and repressed need were not a good mix

After that kiss, though, he’d pulled away Put things back on a strictly professional level He didn’t need to get into an eleht noere at his brother’s BDSM club

He was going to fucking kill Joel Who the hell did he think he was? Keira and Julian didn’t belong in his fucking sex club That little asshole just wanted them because Cole did

Cole knew he should never have let hi for them It didn’t pay to let anyone close He’d made enemies over the years and they wouldn’t hesitate to use Keira and Julian against hi to him

You can protect them Make sure that doesn’t happen Guard them like the jewels they are

Not that he’d tell Julian he was a jewel His project er had a definite alpha side Not as alpha as Cole Then again, few people were According to Joel, he was a possessive, dictatorial, control freak

Yep—and proud of it

He should have done soo He’d barely worked a day in the co inherited half of it He refused to contribute, never cas, it seemed all he wanted to do was fuck around all day—literally

That damn sex club of Joel’s had the board es to his authority on all sides From his brother, from his board, and now it felt like Keira and Julian were challenging hi him

Perhaps they thought he wouldn’t answer the challenge Wouldn’t give the this Perhaps they thought he wasn’t do them to heel

Wait Bring theht that? That wasn’t what he wanted, right? Sure, he liked to be in control Of everything All the time But that didn’t ht?

Or did he?

Fuck His brother wasspace at the back of his brothers BDSM club He didn’t intend to be there long He was just going to go in there, grab Julian and Keira, and leave

Hopefully, without seeing his asshole brother, who hadn’t bothered to co, which had kept Cole at work for hours after everyone else had left He hadn’t had dinner A headache thumped at his temples and he wished he’d kept Keira there late rather than letting her go

He’d thought she’d head home for a quiet dinner with Julian Maybe watch soo to bed Or perhaps go out for dinner and a drink How many times had t

hey dragged hiy bar he wouldn’t otherwise have been seen in? And yet those were sos with them That’s what he wanted for Julian and Keira A normal, safe life
