Chapter 149
The next few days, we were busy as Sebastian and his team prepared to catch Bison.
Sebastian had gone down one last time to talk to Barron, but the man refused to talk; Sebastian left him to die on his own, just like Georgia. It wasn't as if he clumsy made Barron talk, but he no longer needed him; he got Nicholas, who was the second impotent this Bison wanted.
It's been three days since they found out that Bison was Nicholas' absent father, and they've been plotting something they believed would be foolproof and efficient.
"I would have never thought that Nicholas was related to that psycho," Cody said with a frown as they sat in the cafeteria in the bodyguards' building.
Ida nodded, "Me, too, baby, Nicholas is nothing like his father," He replied.
Cody rolled his eyes, "I wasn't speaking to you."
Ida sighed and looked at his friends who were sitting around them.
"Babe, I've apologized a million times, but you still chose to stay angry at me. I'm sorry, okay? I mean, I didn't even do it, but I'm apologizing as if I'm really guilty," Ida's voice was soft and pleading.
Cody scoffed, "Yeah, you didn't do it; it was your hands that did it, you know they have a mind of their own, and that's why they glued to her ass like a glove," He retorted.
Thomas chuckled, "Ahh, I live for the drama; you're right, Cody; I saw him, too. He kissed her, too," He fueled on.
Ida glared at him but quickly turned his attention to Cody, "Babe, you know I would never, right?" He blinked slowly.
"Yeah, that's what I thought until I saw your hand on her ass. Is my ass not good enough for you?" Coldy body asked.
Ida choked, coughing loudly, and his eyes turned red.
He couldn't believe that Cody would ask that kind of thing out loud. "Babe, come on, your...your ass is perfect, baby; I just want you to believe me; I didn't do it; it was a wrong camera angle that Thomas had taken for his obvious entertainment, I promise," he held Cody's hand under the table.
Jeremiah scoffed and turned to Jasper, who sat beside him, "Oh, baby, is my ass not good enough for you? You can squeeze it to find out," He mimicked in a whiny voice.
Jasper shifted away from him and pushed him away by his head, "I'll pass, baby. You're not my type," He replied and went back to eating.
"Ouch," Jeremiah placed a hand on his chest.
"It's okay, brother, you'll always have me," Thomas patted Jeremiah's back.
"I'd rather die, Tom, now get your hands off me," He pushed his twin brother off him.
"Ouch, a combo of transferred aggression and emotional damage," Thomas muttered.
"Learn how to mind your business, Thomas," Andre sighed.
"Tell him," Ida supported.
Cody was staring at Ida as he frowned. His hands on his lap sought Ida's thigh, slowly grazing his fingers on Ida's inner thigh.
Ida froze, he snapped his head to Cody and smiled widely, "You've forgiven me?" He whispered.
Cody shrugged, "If you can prove to me you deserve it... in the room?" He winked at Ida.
Ida sprang up from the seat, "Excuse us. We'll be leaving...we have something to attend to. Come on, babe," He held Cody's hand and led him out of the seat, giving Thomas a narrowed look as he walked away.
"Ahh, mission completed. You see guys, I'm still active, contact me for work," Thomas sighed.
Jeremiah frowned as he looked at his brother, "Active for what?" He questioned.
"Well, let's say, I'm the cupid for everyone in a relationship and anyone who wants to be in a relationship. For example, I can do things for you that will convince Jasper to squeeze your ass as you asked - Ouch! Jerry!" He held his head as Jeremiah used the head of a fork to hit him right on the head.
"Serves you right I'd say," Jasper said calmly.
Andre nodded, "Agreed," He smirked.
Zeno was sitting with them, but it was as good he wasn't. He'd been quiet from the beginning to the end of the lunch, barely touching his food as he stared out of space.
Andre looked at Zeno and sighed. He'd been monitoring Zeno and realized that he'd been that way for three days. He didn't know why, and he believed that he wasn't having any conflicts with their boss since their boss still stared at Zeno as if it was the first day he fell in love with him.
Andre couldn't help but wonder what was running on Zeno's mind. Zeno always tried to appear normal in front of Sebastian, but Andre noticed that he wasn't still happy; he always spaced out and checked his phone more frequently than he breathed.
Something was wrong.
"Zeno, are you okay?" Andre asked, waving in front of Zeno's face.
Zeno slowly blinked and focused on Andre, who was sitting across from him.
"Yes, Andre, just tired. Are you not? We've been running around quite much these few days," Zeno replied.
Andre shared a look with the guys around the table, subtly nodding at them. They were glad to hear that it was just work-related; they feared Zeno might have been facing something more serious than that.
"Yeah, it's been quite exhausting, but it's almost over, I believe Bison would be caught this time," Andre assured.
"Mm, um, excuse me, guys, see you guys around," Zeno said and gently stood from the seat.
He managed a smile at everyone before he turned and walked away.
He was leaving because he'd received another message. For three days, he'd been receiving messages from Bisom asking if he had found the secret pen. The more he ignored the messages, the more threatening they became.
He was having cold feet as he walked into the house and hadn't found time to tell Sebastian; yes, he knew the delay was dangerous, but Nicholas' revelation made everything so complicated for him. He felt it was too late to speak up; Sebastian would be so disappointed to find out that he knew about Bison even before Pole's and Nicholas' revelation, yet he chose to remain quiet.
Zeno was hoping to remain quiet, and just let Sebastian capture first before he finally told him because he also wanted to know the true story behind his parent's death.
He went in and realized that everywhere was quiet, as it's been for days, Sebastian spent most of his time inside his office with Ezra and Nicholas, and Zeno joined in sometimes, but he only stayed for the part that concerned him, after that, he excused himself and left, even though he knew Sebastian didn't want him to leave his side but he couldn't stay, just was seating up at him.
He'd missed sharing a bed with Sebastian and he was hoping to do it tonight.
Who knows, maybe good sex could loosen his lips and make him say, 'Fuck it all,' and then tell Sebastian every dang thing he'd been holding in for long.
He hurried up to his room and quickly showered, wearing nothing but loose shorts as he sprayed some mild fragrance onto the skin of his neck. He was ready for seduction; he needed the power of orgasm to make him bold; at least, he knew that Sebastian wouldn't be that mad after an orgasm.
He stared at himself in the mirror and was glad he had a killer body, not as hot as Sebastian's, but hot enough to get Sebastian hot for him.
He left his room and journeyed down to the living room.
Zeno paused in front of the stairs when he saw Sebastian sitting on the sofa. He had thought he would still be inside his office, but it turned out he was out.
Zeno felt Sebastian's eyes lock onto his body the moment he saw him. He sighed and slowly walked over to him.
"Hey..." He said softly.
"Hey..." Sebastian eyes Zeno hotly; he moves to the edge of the sofa and holds Zeno's wrist, gently pulling him closer and hugging him around the waist.
Zeno smiled and massaged Sebastian's head with his gentle fingers.
Sebastian slowly lifted his face and placed feathery kisses along Zeno's waistline; then he lifted his head to stare at Zeno, "What's this, Baby girl? Walking around shirtless and in these shorts, are you trying to secure me?" He narrowed his dark eyes at Zeno, his hands went under Zeno's shorts and snuck it in behind Zeno, sliding it up to his smooth cheek and squeezing it.
Zeno shrugged, "If you see it that way...I just thought the weather was hot so I decided to skip clothes," He replied, biting his lips as Sebastian's hand gently massaged his ass.
"I don't think so, baby girl; I think you wanted my attention; you've got it now; tell me what you want me to do," Sebastian's voice was commanding and soothing at the same time.
