He could understand him needing time before opening up to him. So long as he wasn't ignoring him completely, he didn't mind if he went quiet every so often. As they continued to talk, he too felt as though things were improving between them. He liked their small talk and just thinking about the possibilities of where they might go on their date. After thinking a few minutes Jakob threw out the first thought that came to mind. He smiled as Kieran nodded and agreed with his suggestion. "Well that's good. Cause I am anything but fancy." he replied jokingly. Jakob did not require anything fancy nor was he looking for Kieran to impress him. Believe it or not, but he did actually like him for his personality. His good looks and nice body were just an added bonus.

When it came to dating he wasn't all that familiar on what was the dating norm. Keiran had only been on a few dates here and there. If it didn't involve a quick ******** then he didn't spend a lot of time with his partners. He was used to quick flings never ones that involved dinner. Kieran knew of a few fancy places but he didn't want to overwhelm Miguel. Already he had spent a couple hundred on hotel and room service.

The first thing that came to Miguel's mind didn't bother him. Tacos were simple, he didn't need something extravagant. Hearing Miguel speak, he laughed softly. ”We’ll see about that.” Kieran teased as he continued driving.

When it came to his own dating life, Jakob was probably equally clueless. Due his work, he did not often allow others to get close to him. Especially those who were not apart of the mafia. The last thing he needed was for someone who was not of their world to find out what he did for a living and go blabbering to the police. Kieran may not be the most refined person he could have chosen to go out with. But at least they could both be themselves and not have to skirt around such issues. Though he was doubtful Kieran would want to know that badly who he had killed recently or planned on killing next.

Jakob wasn't entirely picky about where they go to eat. He could only imagine just how much Kieran had already spent on him for the room and room service. For their first date he wanted to keep it casual and try not to spend all of Kieran's - or Abel's for that matter - money. He smiled as the male laughed beside him and listened to him tease. "And what's that supposed to mean?" he asked curiously. "Also make a left at this next light."

 

[xDarkWinterx]

Indeed it was hard for either of them to date anyone outside their norm. Mafia dated within not those who were on the outside. He much preferred not to date after all, dating always ended before it started. Keiran had to hope that wasn't the case with Miguel. He had no interest in either learning about his kills or his next mark. Keiran didn't want things like that to be the topic of their conversations.

When it came to spending money on Miguel, it was merely because he wanted him to enjoy himself. Kieran felt the need to shower him with nice things, even if the money wasn't his. He took share in Abel's money after all he hardly watched what he spent money on. Teasing Miguel, Kieran shrugged lightly at his words. ”Nothing, after all it's not like I'm anything special.” He spoke casually as he took Miguel's directions. Kieran turned left at the next light as he drove.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Seeing as he hardly ever dated to begin with, Kieran should be feeling privileged right now. He wouldn't be putting himself out here like this if he wasn't being serious. As for his work if asked, Jakob did not mind talking about it from time to time. But like Kieran, he too did not want work to be all they talked about. There were far more interesting things to discuss than who was on his list.

When it came to money, Jakob was not trying to sound ungrateful. In fact he was very grateful for all that Kieran had done for him last night. To him, it didn't matter that the money came from Abel. That wasn't the point. He just did not want him to shower him with unnecessary expenses gifts every time they met up. Hearing the man speak again, it was his turn to roll his eyes. He wondered if Kieran was always this self-loathing. He decided not to say anything on the matter, he didn't want to start an argument. Instead he sat back and watched as Kieran followed his directions.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

Kieran didn’t hate himself but it was hard to find something he like about himself. His only good qualities were his physical features. He was used to people only liking him for his looks, not his personality. Kieran didn’t know what or if Miguel liked him for anything. So far, he seemed to but what was it that he actually liked. His personality was sour at best. The idea plagued his mind, wondering what Miguel saw in him enough to agree to give their relationship as chance.

As he spoke, silence spread between them again. Kieran left it alone for now. He was content with the way things were. Kieran didn’t want to push his luck, but asking something stupid on his part and starting an argument with Miguel. He continued driving not sure where he was going or how much farther he would be driving.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

It was true when he first met Kieran the thing to attract him first were his looks. But there was something he found interesting about his personality. Or at least what Kieran had allowed to see of it thus far. Sure he could be surly at times. But he could also be sweet and caring. He didn't mind his anger much. Jakob had a temper as well as Kieran had already seen. Best of all, the man could keep up with his odd sense of humor. He really enjoyed how they just kept bouncing off of one another randomly, sometimes without even trying.

Jakob wasn't angry or feeling any way in particular. He just didn't know how to follow up with a comment like that. Any that came to mind could probably be taken the wrong way, and he didn't want to accidentally start an argument. He sat quietly as Kieran continued to drive. They were getting close to his neighborhood. He wasn't sure if it was okay for Kieran to drop him off in front of his house. After all there was no telling who might be outside when he got there. "After this next light turn right. It'll be about two blocks down...If you wanna avoid Cornelius or any of his guys. You can drop me at the first block." he said giving him his next set of instructions.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

Kieran enjoyed his time with Miguel as well. He didn’t mind his attitude, after all he could dish it out back. Kieran found his personality entertaining, after all Miguel was tough, even if he had seen him break. He didn’t mind seeing that side of him, it was something new for him. Kieran wasn’t used to taking care of another person, unless that person was Abel. However he didn’t care for Abel the same, he did for Miguel. He found he didn’t like seeing him hurt. Kieran knew that saving Miguel would backfire on him, for now he was going to see where things went and if they ended badly he would take the responsibility for it.

Driving through the city, he wasn’t sure how much longer it would be before they arrived at Miguel’s place. Kieran did a lot of driving for Abel. He wasn’t too familiar with this area however. Kieran soon heard Miguel speak, nodding at his words. He drove turning right at the next light. Kieran knew that it wasn’t a good idea to just pull right up in front of Cornelius’ house. He drove until he reached the first block. Kieran pulled over the car, as he stopped it. He glanced toward Miguel, ”I’ll drop you here. I don’t need Cornelius or anyone else seeing us together right now.” Kieran spoke glancing around a little taking in the neighborhood before turning his attention back toward Miguel. ”Call me and let me know if you’re available this weekend if not we can try for next.” He spoke smiling at Miguel, as he waited. Kieran didn’t know how things would turn out from now, but still he was worried for Miguel to give his update to Cornelius.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Since he was not in a hurry he did not mind how long it took Kieran to drive him. After all, the man did not have to drive him to begin with. It was only fair that he be patient with him. Especially because he wasn't even sure if Kieran knew where he was right now. As they neared the next light, Jakob gave him his next set of directions. He understood if Kieran dropped him off a bit away from the house. It would be bad if someone recognized him and treated to cause him harm. Or worse, follow him back home. He sat quietly while Kieran steered the car into the next turn. As he instructed, they went down the first block before Kieran was pulling over. "That's fine. Thanks for driving me this far." he replied.

Unbuckling his seat belt Jakob grabbed his bag and pulled it into his lap. He looked towards Kieran as he spoke once more. He smiled back at the man and nodded. "I will. I'll let you know as soon as I get word." Leaning across the console Jakob kissed the male against the lips. He hoped it would only be til the weekend that he got to see him again. But his work was never set in stone. On the bright side, he was glad he got his phone number so they could at least keep in contact. Jakob kissed the male a few more times before pulling away. "See you later, daddy." he said smiling. Slipping out of the car Jakob swung his bag over his shoulder, shut the car door, and started down the next block.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

Kieran didn’t mind driving Miguel. After all it was the least he could do. He wasn’t going to make him find his own way home. Kieran found it was rude especially after spending a night with him. He nodded as Miguel spoke thanking him. Kieran watched as Miguel moved to unbuckle himself and grab his bag. He listened as Miguel spoke again, ”Of course, you have my number now.” Kieran spoke nodding mind if Miguel wanted to text him, though calling and talking would be hard.

Watching as Miguel came closer toward him, he soon felt his lips against his own. Kieran returned the kiss, slipping a hand behind his neck and into his hair. He continued to kiss Miguel until he pulled away. Kieran laughed softly as Miguel spoke, releasing his hold on him. He watched as Miguel shifted to get out of the car. ”Be good, naughty boy.” Kieran teased as Miguel shut the car door, heading down the block.

Putting the car into drive, he flipped a u-turn heading back out of the neighborhood. Kieran started back down the road. He continued driving east, until he found he was in a more familiar neighborhood. It didn’t take long to get back to the house. Kieran pulled into the driveway. He pushed the button on the visor to open the garage door. Kieran pulled inside as he parked the car. Turning it off, he pushed the button on the visor again to shut the garage door.

Getting out of the car, Kieran locked it behind him. He opened the door, leading into the house. It was quiet, but that was nothing new. Kieran made his way through the house, heading upstairs. He stopped at Abel’s office, not seeing him. Kieran had to wonder where he was. He made his way back downstairs in search of Abel. Kieran saw the basement door open. He walked down the stairs, soon hearing Abel’s voice.

Descending the stairs, he watched as Abel stood behind a slender twink, who was locked to the ceiling like Miguel had been. He took note of Abel’s pants down, with his c**k inside the male’s a** as he ******** him. Kieran left him to be, as it wasn’t his business seeing as the twink was enjoying himself with his lust filled moans.

Returning back upstairs, Kieran went into the kitchen. He went about making himself a cup of coffee from the Keurig. Kieran mixed cream and sugar into his coffee, before taking it upstairs. He walked into his room, as he flicked on the lights. Kieran took a sip from his coffee, as he set it on the side table. He moved to kick off his shoes, as he sat on his bed. Kieran would have to wait until Abel was finished downstairs before checking in with him. He picked up a paperback from the side table, as he opened it. Kieran started reading it while he waited.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Jakob was grateful the male had given him a ride. He wasn't exactly familiar with the area the hotel had been in so it would have been a pain in the a** to get home. Gathering his things, he smiled as Kieran spoke. Calling him in the future would definitely be taking a risk. But he was more than open to sending texts. It would be a great way to pass the time and maybe, just maybe Kieran would open up to him more. Though he was not expecting any major breakthroughs.

Leaning across the console he couldn't help wanting to kiss the male. He felt Kieran's hand slip behind his neck and into his hair. He kissed him back, enjoying the taste of his lips. Pulling away, he teased him one last time before stepping out of the car. He heard Kieran tease him back just as he shut the door. Smiling, he turned and started up the next block. He heard the car turn as he walked away and slowly fade away. Sighing softly, he almost wished the man didn't have to go back. It was a shame. But they both had their lives and things to do. He could only imagine what sort of unthinkable things Abel must have been up to in Kieran's absence.

It took him a little less than ten minutes to reach Cornelius's house. Just as he expected one of the older men were sitting outside smoking. Jakob greeted him but did not linger. He didn't need him noticing any of his wounds. Or worse, the embarrassing amount of hickeys Kieran had left on his skin. Going inside it was blessedly silent. He quietly shut the door behind him and had nearly made it to the stairs before Cornelius had come out of his office. "Jakob, let's talk." was all he said. He took a breath and nodded.

Crossing the room, Jakob went into his boss's office and shut the door behind him. He set down his bag and stood before the man. Cornelius eyed him curiously before grabbing hold of his chin. He kept his breath slow and even while the man examined the marks. "Looks like you've taken quite a punch. Are there any other injuries?" Without looking at the man Jakob raised his shirt to reveal the cut on his chest then the bruises on his wrists. Cornelius was just going to have to remain ignorant about his last bruise. He wasn't about to drop his pants and endure a series of embarrassing questioning. He waited with bated breath as the older man looked over his wounds before allowing him to drop his arms.

Cornelius sighed and walked around his desk. "So I take it he's not dead." it wasn't a question. Jakob swallowed hard and nodded quietly. He had indeed failed. The tension was so thick, he had to wonder if he really would die. Instead Cornelius motioned for him to sit and said, "Tell me you've at least learned something." Taking a seat, Jakob recanted most of his time spent at Abel's house. He kept his details vague, but informed enough to not make him suspicious. As for his injuries, he told him that Abel had caught him sneaking around and they fought. He did not however tell him that he had been knocked out and held captive for a time. Nor did he tell him that it was Kieran who saved him.

When he finished speaking, Cornelius was unreadable as always. He waited quietly. A few minutes passed and Cornelius spoke again. "Alright, you get two days. Eat, sleep, heal. After that I want updates on this bodyguard. Who he is, what's his name, and where he goes. See if there is ever a time he's away from Abel and how long. I don't want extra casualties, but he clings to Abel he's gotta go." Jakob nodded silently. It wasn't the news he wanted to hear but it was expected. Cornelius soon dismissed him and he made his way up the stairs. He didn't speak with anyone else and went straight into his room. Shutting the door behind him, he locked the door and set his bag down just before flopping on his bed.

A few days had passed without incident, since Abel’s last attack. It was nothing new to him, there was always a new person trying to create their mark on the world by killing him. The sad fact, was that many of them had died, save the last one; the pretty boy. Abel was still a little curious about him. He hardly cared for the fact that he was sent to him. His only regret, was that he didn’t get to play with him more. Abel had been a little annoyed when Kieran came home to stop him. He didn’t push it after all he knew the boy would be back.

It was Friday evening, when the doorbell rang. Abel was in his office, waiting for dinner. Kieran was in the kitchen, so he went to answer the door, knowing Abel wouldn’t come down stairs. He wiped his hands off as he turned the water on the sink off as he was washing dishes. Kieran went toward the foyer, checking the peephole to see Addy. He sighed softly, but unlocked the door. Kieran took in the sight of Abel’s sister on the front porch.

Addy greeted Kieran with a bright smile, but underneath he knew better. ”What not happy to see me?” She teased, already feeling the annoyance rolling off of Kieran. Addy didn’t care, as she stepped closer toward Kieran who backed up. She crossed the threshold of the door, as she leaned up standing on tip toes and kissed Kieran against the lips. Kieran knew it was coming, as he allowed her to kiss him before stepping back.

”What are you doing here Addy?” Kieran asked curiously, as he shut the door behind them. He walked past her, heading back toward the kitchen. She followed after Kieran who went back toward the kitchen. Addy already knew that Kieran was cooking dinner, after all her own brother didn’t even know how to turn on the stove, let alone the microwave. She could never understand Abel’s dislike for cooking, the man would survive on take out alone if he had to.

”Just come for a visit, to see how my baby brother is doing and you.” Addy spoke, moving around the counter. She walked toward Kieran who was standing leaning against. ”Besides, aren’t you happy to see me.” Addy teased sliding closer toward Kieran. She stood in front of him, slipping a hand up his chest. Kieran looked down at her, sure before he would have loved nothing more than to bend her over and ******** her against the counter but not anymore.

Pushing her hand away, Kieran stepped around her. ”Not particularly, why are you here really Addy?” He spoke moving to check on the chicken in the oven. Addy was a little surprised Kieran would push her away. She knew that her touching him, or kissing him was nothing surprising. After all they had done more in bed, among other places. Addy tested the waters, as she slipped behind Kieran who shut the oven. She slipped her hands around his waist, as she ran a hand down toward his crotch. Kieran wasn’t surprised by Addy touching him, but it was unwanted. He grabbed her hand, pulling away from her again. She pouted at him, but soon realized the problem. ”Who is it that holds your thoughts now?” Addy teased, smirking lightly at him.

Kieran knew that Addy would be surprised by his push back, but not by the questions. It was one of the things he hated about her, she was observant and perceptive. He shook his head, ”I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Kieran spoke pushing her question aside. He didn’t need Addy blabbing to Abel about the sudden shift in his love life. Kieran much preferred to keep it quiet especially from Addy. He only knew she could be cruel if she wanted to, just as he could.

The next few days he was restless. Jakob did not like staying inside all the time. But he was under strict orders: eat, sleep, heal. He had informed Kieran as such. For the next three days Jakob spent much of his time in his room. The hickeys were still vibrant and he didn't want anyone asking questions. Especially since they all knew he was supposed to have been on the job. Cornelius had not said anything about the marks, but somehow he felt as though he knew. He knew what they were and where they had come from. The only problem was that there was no way to prove it.

On Friday, Jakob was finally allowed to go back out into the world. He was expected to just watch Abel and Kieran. That was it. Under no circumstance was he allowed to go near their house and if anyone saw him, he was to leave immediately. Jakob prepared many of the same items from his last stake out. He also showered and dressed in all black. As the sun began to set, he swung his bag over his shoulder and set out. Jakob followed the same route as he had last time. He hadn't told Kieran he was stalking him again. He didn't think the man would like to hear that he was working tonight. Then again, they both knew there was nothing he could do about it. He could either stalk them both and eventually kill Abel. Or he could skip town, dump Kieran, and start a new life upstate. He didn't like that idea. Nor would he think Kieran would like it either.

By the time he reached the house, it was already dark out. Jakob walked around the building he had camped behind before. He knelt behind the trash bins, ignoring the passing cars and glancing around every few seconds to make sure no one was watching him. From his view point he could see a tall figure in the kitchen. He had to assume that was Kieran. There was no sign of Abel. Hopefully he wasn't torturing someone else. Wanting to get a better look, he began digging for his binoculars. He heard a car slow as it passed him. Jakob looked up curiously. The car then pulled into Abel's driveway. Seeing as the garage did not rise, it must not have been someone who lived them.

He soon found the binoculars and pulled them out. He watched as a tall, pretty woman stepped out of the car. Her heels clicking against the pavement as she climbed the stairs to the porch and rang the doorbell. Jakob raised his binocular as Kieran wiped his hands. He saw the man move through the house and the front door swung open. Something must have been said as Kieran stepped back. His brows furrowed as she came closer. It was hard to see what had been done exactly, but by Kieran's reactions it had to have been something he didn't like.

After the door was shut, he watched carefully to see where they were going. Who was this woman? He could feel himself already getting annoyed. Soon, the two made an appearance in the kitchen. Kieran was the first to enter and the woman soon after him. Whoever she was, she really was pretty. He couldn't help wondering if she was the type of woman Kieran would go for. He watched Kieran lean against the counter while the woman came closer to him. Again, Jakob felt annoyed watching her put her hands on him. Just what were they to one another? The way she was touching him made him think they had some sort of past. Or worse maybe a present. When the woman reached down towards Kieran's crotch, he looked away.

Pulling out his phone, Jakob tapped on the contact labeled Daddy. He then tapped the little envelope next to his name and began typing. "About how much longer do you plan on allowing that tramp to keep touching you?" he asked. After hitting send, he crouched down. He didn't want Kieran to be able to see him if he were to look out the windows. But he certainly wanted him to know that he was watching him.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

Addy found it amusing to see Kieran brushing her aside. They hadn't been in a relationship for months, but they were together. When it came to sex, they were both dominating. Addy enjoyed her Men beneath her not on top. In her own right she was a sadist. Addy liked pain more than pleasure. They had tried a relationship but it would never had worked. Addy was a better friend to Kieran than a lover.

She took delight in seeing him push her away. Addy had never been pushed away from Kieran knowing he would only welcome it. She knew something was wrong but in a good way. Addy had known Kieran practically her whole life, growing up together with Abel. She never knew anyone Kieran had been with after all bringing them around would most likely scare them.

Stepping away from Kieran, Addy went to the fridge she pulled out the bottle of Chateau Petrus Pomerol, which was hers as neither Abel or Kieran would drink it. She grabbed herself a glass pouring it. Addy took a sip. ”Don't lie to me Kieran, who is it?” She questioned taking a seat with glass in hand.

While Addy went about making herself a glass of wine. Kieran heard his phone go off. Pulling it from his pocket he saw it was from Miguel, Daddy's Boytoy. He was almost happy to see his name until he opened the text. Reading it over, he should have been surprised to know he was watching him but he wasn't. Kieran could only guess what was running through his head.

It's not what it looks like if you think I'm enjoying myself.” Kieran texted back setting his phone on the counter. He turned his attention back toward Addy who sat across from him at the island. ”What's wrong not going to share?” She teased watching as Kieran texted back someone. Shifting she quickly grabbed Kieran's phone before he could react. Addy moved away from the counter opening up his phone and texts. She took note of the one from Miguel.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Jakob never really considered himself to be a jealous person. He grew up around affectionate people who liked to kiss and hug each other in greetings. So he knew the difference between a greeting and cheating. Seeing that woman trying so hard annoyed him. She was pretty sure, but who was she to ignore such obvious rejections. He didn't know who she was or why she was here. But he wanted to. He could feel his curiosity mingling with his annoyance as he crouched there.

After sending his text, he dared peak up through the binoculars again. From his view point the woman had moved to pluck a bottle of something from the refrigerator. Behind her, Kieran was pulling out his phone. He already knew that he was ready his text so he kept his eyes on the woman. It was hard to make out what she was saying, but he knew for certain she had said something like "Don't lie". Don't lie? What did that mean?

His phone buzzed in his hand as he received a message from Kieran. Looking down, he read the message. For the most part he believed him. But that still didn't explain why some random woman was putting her hands all over him. "That's what cheaters say emotion_donotwant " he typed back in Portuguese. "Also, what did she mean by don't lie? What are you lying about?" After sending the two messages, he looked through his binoculars. Jakob looked over at the pair again. He saw that Kieran no longer was on his phone and the woman was off to the side with it. He groaned to himself and hoped that she was not at all fluent in Portuguese.
