Embracing His Syn (32 page)

“
It’s a bacon, potato, and
egg breakfast casserole,” the shorter of the duo answered. He was
all smiles and funny energy. “Help yourself.”

“
Make sure you fix
yourself the Gladiator portion,” the big scary one said roughly.
His voice was raw and gritty and there wasn’t the slightest hint of
a smile on his tight mouth. Furi wondered what the man sounded like
if he got in your face and yelled. He hopefully would never
know.

Furi ignored the comment and got up to
fix himself a plate of the delicious-looking dish. After he sat
back down he thought it appropriate to introduce himself. “I’m
Furious,” he said extending his hand to the short one first then to
the huge one.

“
We know who you are.” The
man smiled charmingly. “I’m Leonidis Day but you can call me Day or
Leo, and this is my partner in every since of the word. He’s Cashel
Godfrey, you can call him Cash if God is a little too off-putting
for you ... it is for people who aren’t used to him."

“
God seems fitting,” Furi
said in a low whisper. He watched the big man pull the corner of
the paper down and wink quickly at him.

“
Fuck, I think I’ve just
come.” Furi winked back.

“
Holy shit. I love this
guy!” Day laughed loudly. “Syn, your boyfriend is a
riot.”

“
Yeah. He’s a regular
fuckin’ Jim Carey.” Syn gave Furi the evil eye, obviously not
liking his ‘I’ve just come’ comment, but Furi blew a kiss at Syn,
loving that he didn’t try to correct the use of the boyfriend
title.

“
So you guys work with
Syn?” Furi asked around a mouthful of bacon and eggs

“
Yep. We’re his
Lieutenants,” Day answered, picking up the largest coffee cup Furi
had ever seen and taking a huge gulp. “You guys had a trying
evening last night, so we thought we’d check in on you.”

Syn just nodded. “Hmm.
Right.”

“
Nice bandage.” God peeked
around his paper again angling his head at Syn’s hand. “Nothing
broken?”

Syn looked at his hand. “Furi wrapped
it up for me last night. Just a little torn skin, it’s nothing
really.”

“
He tried to be all tough
but I had to blow on it to make it feel better.” Furi’s teasing had
Syn smiling.

“
Glad you’re okay, Syn.”
Day winked mischievously.

Furi looked at Syn. “You just don’t
realize how awesome it is to have such great bosses. Came to check
up on you, considerate enough to bring you breakfast, I mean just
all around awesome guys.”

“
Just wait for it, Furi,”
Syn cut him off.

“
What?” Furi’s brow
creased in confusion.

“
All the warm compliments
you’re giving God and Day ... just wait for it.”

Furi looked confused. “I don’t know
what you’re–”

“
What else did you have to
blow on to make feel better?” Day said around a snort. “Really hate
to have missed that show, spanky.” Day smiled broadly at
Furi.

Furi groaned and dropped his head as
he ran both hands through his hair. “You guys watched my
videos.”

“
Hell yeah.” Day
grinned.

“
For evidence and research
purposes only,” God chimed in.

“
Five times,” Day yelled,
punching God in his large bicep.

“
Okay guys. Shut up," Syn
huffed.

“
I’m just saying, you
lucky fuck. You get to date a hot porn puppy and we can’t say
anything.” Day stared at Furi, completely ignoring Syn’s
fuming.

Furi laughed and got up to put his
plate in the sink. He mussed Day’s head on his way back to his
seat. God had a smile on his face when he turned the page of his
paper. “Syn go get your ass dressed, we gotta go. Ro should be
calling any minute.”

Furi watched Day’s eyes travel down
Syn’s muscled torso. Furi was fascinated. These men had a type of
camaraderie he’d never seen amongst co-workers, especially
cops.

Day pointed at Syn’s hips. “You got a
little fruit hanging out of your loom, Syn.”

Syn slammed his hands over the flap in
front of his boxers and turned abruptly, heading to his bedroom.
“Give me fifteen minutes, assholes.”

Furi chuckled and got up to
follow.

“
You got five,” God
yelled. “We don’t have time for spanky to beat your meat
first.”

Syn was still shaking his head in
disbelief when he started the shower. As soon as he stepped inside
the clear doors, Furi came in, leaning his tall frame against the
sink. Syn washed quickly, watching Furi brush his hair back into a
thick ponytail that reached mid-shoulder. Syn remembered running
his fingers through the soft strands and pulling on it when
pleasure overtook him. His cock hardened, making him smile at how
bad he already had it for this man. Furi had his shirt and shoes on
as if he was also preparing to leave.

“
What are you doing?” Syn
asked over the running water.

“
I’m getting
ready.”

“
For what?”

“
I called Doug. He’s on
his way to get me,” Furi answered.

“
What!?” Syn yelled. He
shut off the water and flung the door to the shower open. “I don’t
want you leaving, Furious. Your ex could still be in town and I
want to be one hundred percent positive we’ve got the person that
tried to run you down. I think you should stay here.”

Furi stared at Syn like he’d lost his
damn mind. Syn wrapped a towel around his waist and stepped closer
to Furi. “Okay, that came out a little harsher than I intended.”
Syn put his hands on Furi’s waist and closed in until his damp
forehead was resting on Furi’s shoulder.

“
I understand,” Furi
whispered in his ear. “But I can’t stay holed up here. I have
things to do, Syn. The property manager for the shop is meeting us
with to do a walk-through and sign the lease today. I also have to
meet with a couple of mechanics that we hired.” Furi smiled wide.
“Then I have to go and pick up the assignment for my final so I can
graduate.”

Syn stared into Furi’s sparkling eyes.
He brought one hand up and tenderly brushed Furi’s cheek.
“Congratulations.”

“
Thank you.” Furi kissed
his lips gently. “I’ll be fine. I’m a big boy.”

“
I know you are.” Syn
winked.

Furi flushed with embarrassment. “Shut
up. Don’t start something you can’t finish.”

“
I’ll finish it later,”
Syn promised. His look was pure lust as he pushed his rising cock
against Furi’s jean-clad thigh.

“
Fuckin’ right you will,”
Furi moaned against Syn’s cheek, rocking back against him. “I’d
fuckin’ take you right now if your bosses weren’t in the front
room.”

Syn groaned.

Furi gripped Syn’s cock in a firm grip
and stroked a couple times, wrapping his other arm around Syn’s
back to hold him close. He nipped at Syn’s stubbled chin, peppering
sweet kisses along his jaw to his ear. Furi flicked his tongue out
and pulled the fleshy lobe between his soft lips. Furi’s lips were
pressed against his ear as he spoke in a low, sexy drawl, “I’d bend
you over this sink and fuck you until you yelled my name and begged
me not to stop.”

“
Fuck,” Syn moaned. Heat
tore up through him at Furi’s nasty words.

“
Fuck you hard, just how
you like it, baby.” Furi increased the speed of his
stroke.

“
Oh fuck, fuck. No. Stop
honey,” Syn protested weakly, his balls already throbbing with the
need for release.

“
Why?” Furi
hissed.

“
Because I fucking refuse
to let Day hear me come.” Syn put some room between their bodies
and kept backing up until he hit the wall. He tried to control his
breathing, but staring at Furi’s gorgeous, flushed face didn’t
help.

“
You guys are crazy.” Furi
shook his head.

“
Day’s pranks have no
boundaries. I wouldn’t be surprised if my moans are broadcasted
over the loudspeaker in the office today.” Syn opened the bathroom
door and gestured for Furi to look out into the hallway.
“See.”

Furi busted out laughing at Day
standing there in the hallway with his cell phone in his hand,
studying the non-existent art on Syn’s bare wall. He whistled like
he was just lounging around not looking for trouble. Syn just
flipped him off and pulled Furi into his bedroom, slamming the door
behind them.

“
Oh my fucking god. That
shit is too funny.” Furi laughed while he put a few things into his
backpack.

“
Yeah, because you don’t’
have to deal with his silliness.” Syn hurried to get
dressed.

“
Is he a good cop?” Furi
asked without looking up.

Syn smiled. “Believe it or not, he’s
awesome. Put him with God and they're unbeatable, otherwise I
wouldn’t have come all the way from Philly to work for
them.”

Syn finished clipping on his phones
and badge before snapping his weapons into his holster. He walked
over to where Furi sat on the bed watching his preparations. He
nudged his way in between his knees and cradled Furi’s face in his
palms. If the gesture shocked Furi, he didn’t show it, he just
lifted his face up to stare at Syn. “If you have any problems.” Syn
took a deep breath, silently wishing Furi would just stay where he
knew he’d be safe. He wasn’t Furi’s keeper and he wouldn’t bully
him, he’d already had enough of that in his life. “Get someplace
safe first, then call me immediately.”

Furi put his hands over top of Syn’s
and slowly brought their hands down. He stood and wrapped his arms
around Syn’s neck and Syn hugged Furi tightly to him. Their mouths
came together hard and hungry. Biting and licking each other, like
one of them was leaving for a long journey. They kissed like it
could be their last time, and it unnerved the hell out of Syn. He
didn’t like this feeling, he didn’t like the uncertainty of this
whole fucked up situation. He needed to fix this. They weren’t in
bed right now. Furi wasn’t on top of him or inside of him,
grounding him. They were heading back out into the ruthless world
and that was Syn’s domain, that’s where he took back control. If
something happened to the man in his arms he’d never forgive
himself. “What’s Doug’s phone number?” Syn asked breaking their
kiss.

Furi looked at him for a few seconds
before rattling off the few digits. “I’ll only use it if I can’t
reach you,” Syn said, programming the number into his personal
cell.

Furi released a deep sigh, making Syn
look up. “What’s wrong? Are you nervous?”

“
Actually, yes, very
much,” Furi confessed and Syn desperately wanted to put him at
ease.

Syn lifted Furi’s chin so they were
eye-to-eye. “I’m only a phone call away. If some shit pops off, I
can have someone to you in seconds, do you underst–”

“
That’s it right there,”
Furi cut Syn off. “I’m not nervous about my ex or Sasha’s angry
bitches. I’m nervous about you.” Syn started to speak but Furi put
his hand up to stop him.

“
I know I fought you
tooth-and-nail before. I was a jerk to you and that’s only when I
wasn’t acting like an unappreciative brat. You’ve saved my life
more than once already, and I..." Furi seemed to search for the
right words before he could continue. “I don’t want you to give up
on me when you start to feel like this is too much work. You can’t
be focused on your already demanding job if you’re worried about
what trouble I may be getting into. You have to keep your head
together so you can lead your team.”

Syn was shaking his head no before
Furi finished talking. “That’s not true. I don’t throw my hands up
in surrender on anything.”

“
Have you had many
boyfriends or girlfriends, Syn? My guess would be no. It’s
stressful at best. You definitely don’t need it affecting your
ability to do your job.”

Syn pointed out his bedroom window.
“Out on those streets, I can handle that all day. Let me do what I
do, Furious. Let me handle it.” Syn gestured around the room. “This
here in my bed, I’ll let you handle that, and everything will
balance itself out.”
