Embracing His Syn (35 page)

“
I thought I was going to
lose my shit today, Furi.” Syn pounded his hand on the dashboard
suddenly, making Furi flinch. “All I could think was I would kill
that fucker if he had you. I’d kill him slowly.”

Syn sounded deadly and Furi hated
himself for putting Syn through hell.

“
Baby, I’m so fuckin’
sorry. I don’t know what else to say. I just kept getting these
messages and I just shut the damn thing off.”

“
What
messages?”

“
From him.” Furi turned
back in his seat, his aggravation spiking again. He was so sick of
Patrick and his brother, he could scream. Now their bullshit was
going to fuck up his chance at something great with someone
else.

“
Let me see.” Syn held his
hand out for the phone.

Furi reluctantly gave it to him and
sat silently while Syn scrolled through the messages.

They were all
similar:
‘I’m not finished with you yet’,
‘Your bodyguard won’t always be around’, ‘I have guns too’, ‘You’re
mine, and I’m not leaving until I have you with me’, ‘Till death do
us part, remember’.

“
I knew I should’ve
finished his ass in that alley.” Syn stared down at the display
face on the phone, mumbling the words like the phone was listening.
“This bastard is like a bad habit, so damn hard to get rid of. Now,
I have to go fuckin’ bat shit on him.”

“
Syn. I don’t want you
jeopardizing your career. Patrick and his brother are dangerous and
unpredictable. They think they rule the world, just because they
have money and people jump to do what they say. They’ll try to save
face. No one humiliates them and gets away with it.” Furi looked at
Syn with hurt etched across his face. “This is my fight, not
yours.”

“
We’ll do things the legal
way. We’ll get a protective order, okay? Something tells me Patrick
wouldn’t want to have any negative publicity regarding him and his
business. So he’ll most likely adhere to the order, stay away from
you, and cease all contact.”

“
Good.” Furi blew out a
breath.

“
I’ll take care of it
tomorrow, okay?”

“
Thank you.” Furi stroked
the back of his hand down the inside of Syn’s thigh, loving the low
groan that immediately fled those parted lips and filled the space
of the cab.

“
You’re welcome,” Syn
whispered. “Touch me some more.”

“
Not here. Go back to your
place, now,” Furi ordered.

Syn floored it toward his
apartment.

“
I’m gonna come with you.
I’m in the mood for something to drink.” Syn was already crossing
the street behind Furi.

“
Yeah right. I know why
you’re really coming.” Furi shot Syn a sideways smile.

“
Don’t know what you’re
talking about. A cold one sounds nice.” Syn feigned
ignorance.

“
You just said you
couldn’t wait to have a hot shower and get me in bed, now you want
to walk to the pub and have a drink while I check my
schedule?”

Syn didn’t answer. He just winked
slyly at Furi and pulled the door open for him. He was keeping Furi
in his sight as much as he could. If this beautiful man stumbled,
Syn was going to be there to catch him. Syn sat at his usual spot
while Furi disappeared into the back. There was only one other
person at the bar, most of the customers in the booths having
lunch. A petite lady that Syn hadn’t seen before wiped the area in
front of him and asked if he wanted to see a menu. “I’ll just have
water, no lemon, please,” Syn ordered.

“
What happened to the cold
one?” Furi was back at his side. His voice ghosting over the fine
hairs on the back of Syn’s neck. What had Syn been thinking about
that he didn’t see him approach?

“
Water is cold.” Syn
snaked his arm around Furi’s waist, loving how easily he molded
against his side. Syn took a couple of sips and again declined the
offered menu.

“
Hi Susan. How have you
been?” Furi leaned over and kissed her cheek.

“
Oh good, sweetie. How
about you? How’s school?” Syn watched the easy conversation between
them.

“
School is fine, I’m
actually done. I’ll turn in my final on next week. Then I’ll be
consumed with getting my shop open. I just came in to make sure Unc
didn’t schedule me this weekend.” Furi smiled.

“
Oh Furious! I’m so proud
of you, honey! Come here and give me a big hug. Your own shop, how
exciting!” Furi chuckled as he watched the woman scurry from behind
the bar, her arms thrown wide open for him. Furi hugged her,
lifting her slight frame off the floor and spinning her a couple
times. She squealed and Syn found himself smiling too. She laughed
hysterically while swatting at Furi’s shoulders with her bar towel.
“Put me down, you silly boy.”

“
We’ll be open next month.
So, you be sure to bring your car down and I’ll give you a free
tune-up.” Furi kissed her cheek and moved back to Syn’s
side.

“
Oh, don’t worry yourself
with that beater of mine, it’s useless.” She chuckled.

“
A car is never useless as
long as it runs, doll face. You just bring it to me and I’ll have
it purring like a kitten.”

The woman blushed and looked over at
Syn. “So who’s your gentlemen caller?”

Furi’s chuckle was soothing.
“Gentlemen caller, really Susan?”

Syn stuck his hand out and the woman
placed small fingers in his, barely holding his hand. “My name is
Corbin. I’m Furi’s boyfriend,” Syn said confidently. He could feel
Furi’s surprised eyes boring into the side of his head but he kept
his focus on Susan’s happy face.

“
Well. You are so
handsome. No wonder this one is smiling from ear to ear.” Susan
playfully swatted Furi’s stomach with her towel. “It’s nice to meet
you, Corbin. I’m Susan. You might as well say I’m Furi’s aunt
because I’ve been with that uncle of his for over fifteen years.
God bless me,” she laughed again.

“
It’s a pleasure to meet
you, Aunt Susan.” Syn presented her a half smile, making her
blush.

“
Pleasure's all mine.
Well, I’m gonna go check on my tables. Are you working tonight,
honey?”

Furi and Syn both stood. “No. And I’m
off all weekend. I got a ton of stuff to do around the
shop.”

She beamed and hugged him again before
trotting off.

“
She’s nice,” Syn said,
holding Furi’s hand while they crossed the street.

“
Yeah. If it wasn’t for
her, I’m pretty sure my uncle would’ve thrown me out on my ass a
long–” Furi stopped talking when Syn jerked to a stop at the
curb.

Syn scanned up and down
the sidewalk, still keeping Furi close. Something didn’t feel
right.
Shit.
“Go
inside Furi,” Syn ordered when he spotted a black Town Car parked a
half a block up across the street. The windows were all tinted and
it stuck out like a sore thumb among all the other older cars that
lined the street. He could see two figures sitting inside. It was
obvious they’d realized they’d been spotted because the car revved
and jerked away from the curb, cutting down a side
street.

“
Fucking coward,” Syn
growled.

“
Was that?”

“
Yes, it was him. Why
didn’t you go inside like I said?” Syn glared at Furi.

“
Because I wasn’t just
gonna run like some bitch.” Furi glared back. “If he wants me, then
I’m standing right fuckin’ here, he can come and try to get me.”
Furi stuck his chin out.

“
That’s the dumbest shit
I’ve ever heard,” Syn snapped back at him. “Throwing yourself at
danger doesn’t make you brave, it makes you an idiot. Now, go
inside.”

“
Hey!”

“
Unh, unh, unh,” Syn
tsked. “You’re reneging on our agreement. Remember, I run this.”
Syn gestured their outdoor surrounding.

“
Fine, boyfriend.” A
sinister smile crept up on Furi’s stunning lips as he stood chest
to chest with Syn. “Let’s go inside then, and I’ll say what I have
to say in there.”

Syn noticed how Furi
punctuated the word
boyfriend
and he especially understood what Furi was
thinking as he watched his long legs bolt up the steps and
disappear into his building. Syn took a deep breath. He was getting
ready to step into Furi’s sexual stronghold, and he was helpless to
resist it. He didn’t want to fight it. After the kind of afternoon
he’d had hunting Furi down, the man owed him some stress
relief.

Syn stepped onto the elevator with
Furi, both of them settling on opposite sides of the small
compartment, staring longingly at each other, letting the erotic
tension build. When the doors parted on Syn’s floor, they both
bolted as if someone had set off an alarm. Syn stopped at his door
and was immediately aware of Furi’s chest pressing against his
back, his hot breath on his neck, and oh god, Furi’s hard cock
pushing against his ass. Syn’s key hovered over the knob as he let
all those life-affirming sensations flood his nervous system. Furi
pushed harder against him, trapping him against the door. It felt
so good it felt cathartic. He let his head fall back on Furi’s
shoulder.

“
Mmm. Open the door, Syn.
Or I’m gonna fuck you in this hallway.” Furi licked Syn’s ear. It
was something about Furi’s voice and the way he talked to Syn that
made him completely defenseless to the man’s advances.

“
Fuck,” Syn groaned,
jiggling the key in the doorknob. He panted when he finally got it
unlocked. He turned the knob and both of them stumbled into the
apartment. Furi kicked the door closed and crossed the distance
between them in an instant. Syn’s dick was harder than Chinese
arithmetic, and his tight jeans were only adding to his discomfort.
He tried to adjust it, but nothing short of yanking his pants down
was going to give him any relief.

Furi was on Syn. Licking and biting at
his mouth, his neck, his jaw, anywhere he could reach. Syn snapped
off his holster and set his weapons down on the nearest surface.
Furi backed him up until he hit the wall and then his mouth was on
him again. Hot and demanding, just like Syn needed. He let his head
fall back, hitting the wall with a thud while Furi sucked hard at
his throat.

“
So you’re my boyfriend,
now, Syn?” Furi thrust his hips forward, making Syn completely
forget his response. “You’re just making all kinds of decisions
today aren’t you?”

“
Furi,” Syn
moaned.

“
You’re a real force out
on the streets, huh baby?” Furi unsnapped Syn’s jeans and forcibly
yanked them down to his thighs, his cock snapping back up, weeping
at the freedom. Syn was reaching for it when his hand was yanked
back and tucked behind his back. Furi spun him around, keeping his
arm pinned in place and slammed Syn’s chest against the wall. “But
you don’t run this in here do you baby?”

Furi had Syn in a police hold, and he
didn’t know whether to resist or come. Furi’s hand traveled slowly
down Syn’s abs, to his dark red cock, just barely brushing over it
while continuing lower to Syn’s balls.

Syn whimpered. A full on needy-ass
moan. From his cheek down to his chest, he was pressed flat against
the wall, but Syn wasn’t ashamed of the way his ass was pushed out
silently begging for Furi’s attack.

Furi manipulated the round orbs before
tightening his grip. “Answer me.” Furi snapped his hips again and
pulled hard on Syn’s balls at the same time.

“
Augh, fuck yes, yes,
yes!” Syn shouted. Damn this man would be the death of
him.

“
You’re goddamn right I
control this.” Furi fisted Syn’s cock and stroked him fast and
hard. “All this is mine now, right
boyfriend
?”

“
Ahhh. Fuuuuck you.” Syn
squeezed his eyes shut at the obscene amount of pleasure assailing
his body. Furi’s dominant talk and his firm grip was gonna make him
come all over his fucking wall after only one minute.

Furi’s chuckle sounded almost demonic.
“Fuck me?” he whispered in Syn’s ear, licking the rim before
probing inside it. The wet licking sound made Syn’s cock leak some
more. Furi kissed across Syn’s cheek to his lips, and because of
the angle, the kiss was sloppy but delicious. Furi’s fingers
ghosted over Syn’s throat, up to his prickly beard and danced
between their kiss. “Suck’em.’”
