They spent the next hour or so in light conversation, occasionally being joined by acquaintances of Kalvin who all appeared to be stopping by to pay their respects while trying to work out who exactly Aian was.
Kalvin just introduced him by name, making no mention of his twin flame status or his line of work and it only seemed to make the visitors even more curious.
Aian wasn’t good at reading people by any means but even he could almost see the thoughts going through their heads.
Who was this boy with Kalvin? Why won’t he say anything else about him other than his name?
A lot of looks lingered on the way that Kalvin’s arm stretched out behind Aian and he got the impression that Kalvin rarely showed up with any one in public and displayed a nonchalant possessiveness.
It was a fairly innocent gesture and although there was deeper meaning behind it, the action should not warrant such surpris
Business was concluded and the negotiations had come to a close with the other party having withdrawn back into the club. Neviwatched as Kalvintook a drag on a cigarette while Blakegave a quick report. The man was stunning. He was much more casually dressed than Nevihad ever seen him but he still looked good enough to kill. Those intense steel eyes glanced his way and he suppressed a shiver. The man’s gaze was so heavy, so intense, and Nevilonged for the day when it would be focused on him alone. He was rippedawayfrom his thoughts when the door opened and two men dragged in two of his bouncers. He felt his eyes go wide and quickly schooled his expressionin to a neutral one. So, they had gotten caught. They knew better than to squeal about who had paid them, though. He had paid them more than enough for their silence. He was well aware of Kalvin’s wrath and dislike for anyone touching his
When they had finally made it out of the crowd, the man relinquished his hand to slide his arm around Aian’s waist and guide him out of the door in to the waiting limo.Aianhad barely sat down when he was bodily picked up and placed in Kalvin’s lap, his legsweremaneuvered to straddle the man’slarge thighs. Hands snuck under his shirt to caress his skin and his lips were once again engaged.He knew where this might be going and Aianwould be lying if he said he wasn’t inquisitive about it, wasn’t wanting so much to find out what boundaries they could and could not cross.After what happenedthis morning and knowing that was nothing compared to what Kalvincould do sent his pulse racing and heat coiling low in his belly.He moaned into the kiss and pressed himself closer, hands curling around Kalvin’s neck to bury into his ash blonde hair.It really was softer than it looks desp
Aian opened his eyes and squinted against the faint glow light from the bedside lamp. At first, he was confused as to where he was and rubbed his eyes as he tried to focus his vision. With a furrowed eyebrows, he finally remembered what had happened. By the darkness still spread outside of the glass balcony doors, it must have been still evening. Looks like he fell in to a nap. He groaned as he stretched. He was in Kalvin’s room, in his penthouse. “How are you feeling?” He went still, and agonizingly slow, he turned and froze for a second, seeing his twin flame leaning by the door frame of the bedroom, his hands holding some documents. The man grinned at him, and his blush was something he can’t stop even if he wanted to. “I’m fine,” he muttered. It was the truth. He felt much more relaxed, no pain anywhere. His energy was high because of that power nap. Kalvin searched his face, before closing the bedroom door. “That’s
“KALVIN!” That voice. Filled with unrestrained lust, sobbing pleasure, and just a tinge of blurred pain. Perfect. Kalvinwas sure that the final cry Aianmade before passing out after coming dry last night would haunt his dreams in the most pleasurable way possible for a long time to come. It had been truly exquisite. His bright, innocent little twin flameresponded beautifully to his touch. Drowned in pleasure beyond what he had ever experienced, Aiansurrendered to Kalvinand gave himself over to his ministrations. The little mewls had quickly found a louder volume but retained their constant quality. Kalvinfelt his body stirring at the memory. While he had been expecting a pleasurable evening, it had been far beyond his wildest expectations. The moans, the arching back, the emerald eyes nearly black with want.
Kalvinmaneuvered through the bedroom door with the large tray in his hands. He had spent the last few hours in his home office catching up on his paperwork and making calls. He had left the doors open so he could hear if Aiangot up but it had been quiet, not something he associated with him while he was awake. It was after lunch now but he had one of his men fetch them breakfast, figuring Aianwould prefer that when he first woke up rather than a heavier meal. He put the tray down on the bedside table then sat down on the bed. He reached over to give the Aian shaped lump a shake. “Time to wake up, angel.” An unhappy sounding groan answered him and the lump shuffled around, the black hair disappearing under the blanket. Kalvintugged the blanket down and forciblybut gentlyrolled the photographer onto his back. Dazed jade eyes blinked sleepily at him and Aiantried to bury himself back into
Hastily exiting the boss’s office alongside Blake, Dalehad the distinct feeling that this was only the beginning of the drama they would face dealing with one Aian Creeshia.He had never heard his boss refer to someone, anyone, by a pet name in the nearly eight years he had been working for him.Even more perplexing was while the man sounded both irritated and amused of all things by Creeshialosing his guards, Kalvinseemed unconvinced that they could locate the kid.In the past, someone showing such blatant insolence would have found themselves forcibly removed from Kalvin’s life,but this twin flamechanged everything.He glanced over to Blakewho paused beside him. “I’m not quite sure what to make of all this.”The secretary looked over at him in askance.“I mean, I’ve never heard the boss speak like that. He called the kid angel.”Blakegave a sma
Blakereceived several expressions of interest about joining the Creeshiasecurity team permanently; for many people it was a good opportunity and an excellent pay packet with perks. Unfortunately, some of those pulled out after the shenanigans kept going on but a surprising number were still interested. Enough that they might be able to pull up a team without having to resort to hiring externally. Calebhad proven to be the perfect choice for team leader as he suggested and then organizeda training excursion to a local gym that specializedin rock climbing and parkour. Dale booked out the parkour section for the entire day and even roped in the gym specialist and few a local enthusiasts to show them how it was done. All the prospective hopefuls were attempting to copy the tricks and climb up the fake buildings with varying degrees of success. Calebhad been giving it a go himself and was one of the few so far who comple
Aianprobably should have thought about it but he had been floating on endorphins from the thrill of the run through the parkour course and stuffed with the amazing pork cutlet rice bowl that was his prize. Kalvinhad a meeting and while the man expressed regret over not being able to spend the afternoon with him, he offered to drop him on his apartment in the limo on the way back to the office. Aianhad assumed Kalvinwas offering him a ride home and it didn’t occur to him that the man might have had another sort of RIDE in mind. Now here he was, his legs on either side of Kalvin, clothes somehow missing, getting sexed up in the back of a limo. Gosh, the man was a human octopus, Kalvin’s hands where EVERY WHERE. Lips, teeth, and tongue where trailing over his neck and were those noises coming from his own mouth? He would be embarrassed by the wanton moans echoing around the back of the limo but his head was spinnin
Kalvin’s eyebrows shot up to his hairline and Aian felt his face burn in embarrassment almost at once. “Or not. I mean, if you don’t want to.” “Oh no, since you offered such an intriguing solution, I would love to take you up on the offer,” the older man’s face settled into a very familiar smirk. “But who’s the pervert now, hmm, angel?” Aiangroaned and covered his face with his good arm. His face was still getting redderthat he could feel the burning heat intensifying. “It’s your fault. You made me like this.” Kalvinlaughed at that. “Oh no, I merely brought out your inner desires. But I don’t see why you are getting so embarrassed over this. This is no worse than anything else we have done and YOU were the one to suggest it. I’m not about to laugh at you for your fantasies. I honestly doubt there is anything you would suggest that I wouldn’t do. We are quite matched in that regard.” Aianremoved his arm and stared at Kal
Aianwas ecstatic to be back at the penthouse. Kalvinwould still be around a lot, choosing to spend more time working from home for a few weeks and his security team would be around more to help out physically as well. He was still stuck being wheelchaired around for the next few weeks but at least he wasn’t stuck in a hospital bed. Kalvinwas wheeling him past one of the the spare room when he noticed something familiar through the door from the corner of his eye. “Wait. Hold up, what’s in that room now?” Kalvinstopped in place but didn’t respond. Aiancraned his head around to stare up at his twin flameonly to be met with a blank face. Highly suspicious. “Kal, what’s in that room?” Still no answer. “Wheel me back.” The man seemed to weigh up his options before reluctantly pulling him back so they were beside the door after he asked a second time. Aian 
Having been in the hospital for a full seven days, Aianwas itching to leave. Kalvinhad wheeled him outside a few times so he could bask in the fresh air and sunshine but honestly,Aianwanted to go home. It didn’t help that Chadhad been released into Otto’s care yesterday morning, leaving only the three of them in the ward together. Aianwas rightthat sharing the room was so much better than being by himself, though. They had a constant stream of visitors from the security team, both to visit them and to guard the room. He had also met some of Caleb’s and Shawn’s family members, all of whom were surprised to find out who Aianwas. Now he was caught up on all the movies and shows he wanted to watch and had even learneda few new card games as well. But he wassoready to go home. Kalvinsat on a chair beside his bed,reading through a few work documents that Blake 
“Hello, Nettie.” “Is that how you greet an old friend, hmm?” she sat down on the chair beside her basket. “Honestly, you haven’t been over to visit for a drink and a chat in ages. I was giving you time to settle down with your little twin flamehaving all your attention but I swear, if he wasn’t your twin flame, he would be your midlife crisis.” “I’m not that old,” Kalvinhuffed out and Aianlooked torn between finding it funny and embarrassing. “If I didn’t know any better, I would dispute that. But it’s not about age, it’s about life experience. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. Hell, I would be behind this relationship all the way,twin flamestatus or not,if it means youget toactually relax and we get to see that you’re a human with feelings. Honestly, I could do with a cute little midlife crisis myself.” She gave a selfdepreciating laugh. “I swear I may as well be married to my restaurant! But you n
Calebstretched. Or at least tried to. He winced as the dull ache sharpened through his body as he moved. His right hand and wrist were encased in a cast and his shoulder was braced as well as possible to stop him from tearing open the bullet wound. The rest of his body ached as though he had been hit by a car, although the force of him hitting the ground wasn’t too far off being the same. He had to admit he was grateful for the Ecliprises-sponsored hospital treatment. Private ward and a room shared just with him and the other two injured guards. On top of that, he had a bed that was actually comfortable and a regular food that was decent. He also had a constant stream of visitors to keep him occupied, his mother with different siblings accompanying her each time and all the security team members had dropped in to say hello and keep them all company. He was surprised when a nurse came in and set up the unmade fourth bed afte
It had been a few days of bleary waking hours and constant naps but Aianwas finally perking up. Unfortunately,with his wakefulness came boredom. He was stuck mostly unable to move and often alone. He thought maybe he could play games on his handheld gaming device but thatalsorequired his left hand. As did trying to hold and navigate on his phone. He had been left with some books but holding them up while trying to turn the pages was awkward and reading on his phone wasn’t much better. He had his headphones on and listened to music but the energetic beat just reinforced how much he wanted to move. And how much he can’t. The worst part was that he could feel The Tug. He had never felt it before but he knew that’s what it was. It was faint, a slight tugging for him to get up and move in a certain direction. He checked on the map on his phone earlier and realizedthat it pointed to Ecliprises. H
Kalvinthanked Blakeas the man handed over a takeaway cup of coffee. He wasn’t sure how many hours he had been sitting in the hospital waiting room but a glance outside the windows showed a faint grey tint to the sky. Morning was on its way. He watched as his secretary handed out cups to the other occupants of the waiting room. Dalesat on his right and Glyniss, Aian’s mom, face pale and drawn, was on his left. A few chairs down sat Caleb’s mother and one of his younger sisters, beside them sat Shawn’s father. Chad’s emergency contact had turned out to be a friend that advised they would pass on a message to his family but had told Blakethat they most likely wouldn’t come, even if he died. Kalvinwasn’t one to pry into the private lives of his subordinates but he found something sad in such a capable and loyal young man being so estranged from his family. Some of themembers of Team Creeshiaalso sat around the roo
Agony pulled him back into awareness and Aiangroggily raised his head to look around. Neviseemed content to let him regain his bearings as he crouched in front of him with a knifeglinting in the light of the room. His eyes zeroed in on the gleaming blade and the insane man chuckled at his reaction. “I told youthat you owe me some fun for making me wait. I’m glad that you are able to stay awake for this. Its far more entertaining this way.” Nevi brought up the knife and set it against Aian’s freckled cheek. He flinched at the feeling of the cold blade digging into his skin but otherwise didn’t move. Closing his eyes, Aianbit the inside of his lip as the blade was pushed in further and dragged across his skin, slicing it open. It wasn’t a deep cut, but enough that he could feel the warm wetness of his own blood oozing out and trailing down his face. The knife was pulled away from his cheek an
The rest of the trip to wherever they were going was quiet. Neviseemed lost in his own thoughts so Aianused the time to gauge his injuries. His right arm was handcuffed to the seatbelt and other than some tenderness, it appeared to be okay. His left arm wasn’t so fortunate, though. It was clearly broken, part of his arm hanging limp at an unnatural angle. The break was in his forearm, a bit before his elbow. He must have landed on that arm during his fall. It hurt like hell. The pain radiated out from the break and seemed to crawl up his arm. Every bump in the road speared new pain through him in an agonizingjolt that had his eyes watering and he bit his lip to stop from crying outloud. Not the time to be a wuss about things now. Aianwas dizzy and could barely feel the rest of his body. He wondered if he had hit his head during the fall too. He must have, surely. Especially considering he blacked out
