“I can get out of you guys’ hair for this,” Ty said, hopping up from his chair. He looked kind of bummed that, once again, this wasn’t something he could offer much assistance with.
“Hey, Ty, it’s fine for you to stick around,” Mick said, almost insisting, which surprised me.
“Feel free to stay,” I added to make him feel more at ease about it.
Ty shrugged, sitting back down.
We’d enjoyed several more nights together, my cock deep in him, Ty eager to try out new positions, and me enjoying sharing all those firsts with him. Even as we sat there, prepping our plan, all I wanted to do was have another moment in his arms, at his disposal.
“Study up, kids,” Mick said, pulling me back to our mission. “We have tonight and tomorrow to review these plans. This contains all Blackmore’s personnel who will likely be present at the auction on Saturday. Tara, with Kyzer’s help, I managed to secure you a box for the auction, which will put you right next to Junior. Liam and Kyle will manage the floor, and I’ll be driving the getaway vehicle and offering you guidance outside the building. We’ll review all the details pertaining to this in a few pages.”
We worked our way through the information before Mick directed us to flip to Lez Kross in the document.
“Lez will be our biggest challenge,” Tara said.
“I can take him,” I insisted.
“Liam, yes, you’re impressive,” Tara said, “but this is about strategy, not strength. Kyzer’s informed us that Lez works some other deals for Junior during the main event, meaning…”
“They won’t all be in the same place at the same time,” I observed.
“Precisely. Lez will be mingling with the crowd, sort of using it as a networking opportunity for the clan, making contacts and negotiating deals for the clan on Junior’s behalf while Junior sits in his comfy box. If they were all together for this, that would be one thing, but we have two units we have to take down separately. Ideally, Lez’s first so that we can buy us some time while we grab Junior. If we start the other way around, Junior’s guys get a chance to call for help, Lez and his guys come running…and it complicates the whole plan.”
“Fortunately, your wiz Mick here has a solution,” Mick announced, and all eyes shifted to him. “Did you guys notice something in the days you were watching this guy?”
Silence.
“Oh God. It’s so hard being a genius here.”
“Skip to the solution, Mick,” Kyle said through his teeth.
“Lez has a thing for younger guys. Early twenties, who maybe look slightly naive.”
“I noticed that too,” Tara added. “And if you look through his file, you’ll see that some of his ex-partners are also younger. I don’t know about the naive part, but I don’t imagine he likes them to be that smart.”
“I verified my theory with Kyzer earlier,” Mick went on. “He used to hang in the same spots, and Lez definitely has a type: dark hair, dark eyes, early twenties. Pretty things with pretty smiles.”
As soon as he saidpretty things, I looked to Ty, who seemed surprised by the way I eyed him, as though he hadn’t picked up on what Mick was insinuating. However, I had no doubt in my mind what Mick meant.
“No,” I spit out to keep them from entertaining the thought any further.
“Come on. Let him be good for something,” Kyle chimed in.
“You shut your goddamn mouth,” I barked before turning my attention back to Mick. “And, Mick, you can just throw him out of the equation now, because it’s not happening.”
“What? Me?” Ty asked.
“See, naive as fuck!” Kyle said. I could tell he was trying to make light of it all, but I wasn’t calming down so long as Ty’s involvement was on the table.
“He’s just a distraction,” Mick added. “You’ve seen how Lez handles hotties. He slips away from the rest of the team, a few guards on him, and he has ten to fifteen minutes to get some before he’s back on the clock.”
“Fifteen if whoever he’s with is lucky,” Kyle joked.
But I wasn’t fucking laughing. Not until they pushed this insane idea out of their heads.
“Look,” Mick said. “Lez is top dog. We take him out, and this whole operation becomes a lot easier.”
“He’s not wrong,” Tara added.
