“Yes, I do. You need to keep it covered to prevent infection. Did you listen to anything the paramedics told you?”
“Um, not really.”
“Of course not.”
“I was a little preoccupied.”
I softened my tone. “I know.” I took hold of his wrist, and he let me pull his hand toward me. “Does it hurt as bad as I think it does?”
Rafe shrugged. “I… I’ve had worse.”
I shook my head, hating the thought of that, even though I’d been shot multiple times and suffered several broken bones. I knew the kind of life he led, but I didn’t want him hurt, not even a scrape. Where the fuck did these intense feelings come from?
I laid his hand on the counter, palm up. “Don’t move.”
I went to find the bandages and antibiotic cream the paramedics had left. I was surprised when I came back and he really hadn’t moved. He was watching me, and the attention made my cock stir. How many times could he make me come in one night?
“I’ll be as gentle as I can.”
Rafe nodded. The silence between us felt thick and heavy. I suddenly felt out of breath, but I focused on his burn. It had to have hurt like hell in the shower, but I didn’t say anything about that. I smoothed the gel on as quickly as I could and then wrapped it. I was much too aware of the weight of his arm on my hand, the warmth of his skin, and the way he was also breathing hard.
I had to force myself not to jerk my hands away when I was finished. Touching him had become way too much. “All done.”
He flexed his hand and winced, then looked up at me. “That was your handler on the phone, wasn’t it?”
I wasn’t ready for the change of subject, but I managed to answer. “Something like that.”
He huffed. “What did you tell him about me?”
“That you love to suck my cock.”
Rafe flipped me off, and things began to feel a little more normal.
“I didn’t tell him anything that matters. We have a deal, right?”

RAFE
Istudied Zach, refusing to give an answer yet. I wanted to see him worry, to have him question whether his cock was really magic enough to make me willing to do whatever he wanted. It was dangerous as fuck to agree to work with him. I should bring Dante and Lorenzo in and let them help me, but I didn’t want to do that. I wanted to do something without them. If I asked them to help, they’d take over. I’d no longer be the one in charge.
Like you weren’t the one in charge when Zach had you on the counter.
That was different. That was just sex. Work was different. At the casino, I was in charge, not my brothers, and I wanted to keep it that way. If Zach helped me, how much further under his spell would I be?
I’d be fine. I could fuck him, then send him away when I was done with him. Ivanov would be dead. I’d be a hero, and while I worked toward my goal, I’d have a hot man in my bed. It was a win-win. By the time we were done, I’d be ready to release him.
I moved toward Zach, not yet ready to let him think he’d won. When I was close enough to touch him, his eyes met mine. Damn, I loved the way he looked at me like a hungry predator.
That’s what he was, and I’d invited him right in. I was too foolish to send him away, but I was going to play with him. “How badly do you want this deal?”
“Rafe, you need help. I can give it to you.”
“What else can you give me?”
“Mind-blowing orgasms.”
I smiled. “Get on your knees.” He raised his brows. “You want this deal, prove it.”
“I’m not playing this game.”
“I think you will. I think you need me enough to do whatever is necessary to get me to work with you.”
“Fuck, Rafe, I—”
“Kneel, Griffin.”
He glared at me. “You know that’s not my name, and I don’t do that.”
“I’ll call you whatever I want, and you’re going to learn to do it now.” I’d given him so much, been so vulnerable in front of him, I had to regain some of that power now.
He held my gaze as he slowly sank to the floor. Without me having to order him, he pulled my sweats down and wrapped a hand around my cock. A few strokes were all I needed to be hard as steel. Fuck, he was everything I wanted.
“Have you ever sucked off a man?” He shook his head, and I smiled. “Good. I like being your first. Go on, take my cock in your mouth.” I loved being fucked, but I wanted a man who’d give me pleasure however I wanted it.
