He knew he was threatening his new boss, but fuck him. He had a duty to protect his man, and that included getting justice as well. He would respect Cameron’s wishes and make sure he stayed out of prison, but there was no way he wasn’t going to introduce this man to a whole new world of pain.

“Are we done?” Basher asked, pissed, wanting to get started on hunting down this motherfucker.

Marcus nodded, passing the tablet back to Cameron.

CAMERON

He could feel their eyes watching him.

Silent.

Waiting.

Itching to ask him the one thing he was dying to share with them.

But torturing his friends was so much more fun.

Cameron continued to ignore the gossip queens and wondered who would be the first to crack and how long it would ta⁠—

“So, Basher met your mom?”

Of course, it was Lucas, the fun-loving romantic who couldn’t help but celebrate and spread love wherever he went.

The guy was a lovebug on steroids, except when it came to protecting those he cared about. If anyone tried to hurt them, that lovebug on steroids turned into the revenge-demon from hell. Seriously, the guy went a little cray-cray. Let’s just say that there were flamethrowers, crossbows, and even grenades being used to take out all those who tried to hurt someone Lucas loved.

It’s always the ones you least suspect who end up being the craziest.

Cameron looked up at Lucas, then over at Ace, who was pretending not to listen as he typed on his tablet.

“Yeah, but I don’t want to bore you guys with the details. Plus, Ace is busy, and I don’t want to distract him,” Cameron teased.

Ace clicked off his tablet and sat up.

“Fuck off. Spill,” Ace demanded.

Cameron chuckled.

“Well, if you guys insist.”

Cameron spent the next twenty minutes gushing over his evening with Basher and his mom. How amazing it was and how grateful he was that his mother was having one of her good days and could fully enjoy the evening with both of them.

“I’m sorry to hear about your mom,” Ace said. “We had no idea she was even ill. You never talk about your family or childhood, so we just figured it was a sore subject for you and didn’t want to upset you.”

“Yeah, it’s not something I like to talk about. It’s pretty difficult at times, and I often get emotional when I think about my mom and how many good years she has left in her.”

Ace and Lucas both stood and walked over to him. Together, they wrapped their arms around him and gave him a bone-crushing hug.

“You know you’re one of us now, so whatever you need, you just let us know. We are always here for you whenever you want to talk or just have someone to vent to,” Ace whispered.

“Thanks, guys, I really appreciate that.”

“Now, back to you and Basher making porn together, and who is the crazy stalker dude you possibly got coming after you guys?” Ace asked.

“Well, he’s one of the first followers I got when I started filming content. He usually requests one-on-one sessions with me about twice a week, where he always overtips. His face is always blurred, so I have no idea what he actually looks like, but he says he lives in San Francisco and runs some tech start-up company, but of course, that could be a lie. I tell my followers that I’m in college and live in Texas, so who knows what is real.”

They both watched as Ace logged into Cameron’s online profile and began digging through messages and profiles, making notes as he went.
