Training Kevin [Hard Hits 14] (Siren Publishing Classic ManLove) Read online

  “Okay. I’ll get TJ on this.”

  It was exactly what Kevin wanted to hear. “Thank you, sir.”

  “I just hope we don’t live to regret this.”

  “We won’t.”

  Kevin left his chief’s office. Tonight he was supposed to be packing up and leaving for Camp Tack. He was ready to get on with his SWAT training, and he was ready to be done with Jeff. What was going to happen when Wyatt found out that he was alive and that he had faked his death? The man was not going to be happy. Could Kevin blame him? No, he couldn’t.

  As he headed out of Chief Rask’s office, Kevin cut through the bullpen, catching sight of Wyatt across the room. As always, the man looked like he was a hunter and tracking him. It felt so good to have his Dom’s protection. As he went to his office, he had a sudden sinking sensation about what he should and shouldn’t do. He felt guilty about all this, but what other choice did he have in the matter?

  A few minutes later, there was a knock on his door. Every muscle in Kevin’s body tensed. It had to be Wyatt. “Come in.”

  To his surprise, it wasn’t his Dom. It was TJ. He didn’t look happy. He shut the door behind him and crossed his arms as he leaned up against it.

  “What the actual fuck?”

  “I’m guessing you talked to Chief Rask.”

  “I have, and for the record, I don’t like any of this.”

  “What else am I supposed to do?”

  “Not fuck with everyone.”

  “Trust me on this. Jeff is going to go nuts when he finds out I’m dead. That’s going to make him do things he wouldn’t normally do. It’s going to send him into a spiral.”

  TJ shook his head as though he didn’t believe Kevin, but he was going to trust him anyway. “You should know my husband, Parker, works with Jeff.”

  “And?”

  “Parker is aware of the situation and he doesn’t trust Jeff either. There’s already been an internal investigation going on with Jeff at the hospital. It seems that he’s been involved in some things that I can’t discuss.”

  “Still, I need to make this happen. I can’t live my life in fear. Jeff’s going to get pissed and send another cyber-attack against me and I do not want that to happen.”

  TJ nodded his head. “I completely understand, but for the record I think you’re making a mistake by not telling Wyatt.”

  “It’s my mistake to make.”

  “He’s not going to be happy when he finds out you lied to him. We need to do this another way.”

  Kevin locked his gaze onto TJ. He obviously knew more about their situation than he was letting on. Kevin had been careful about keeping their relationship a secret, but it was clear that he hadn’t been careful enough. “What do you think you know?”

  “I know enough. I know you don’t want to fuck this thing up with Wyatt.”

  It was true. He didn’t want to mess things up with Wyatt but he had to take back control of his life. “What am I supposed to do?”

  “Let me think on it. Faking your death is not the answer, okay?”

  “Fine. I just need to do something.”

  “I understand.”

  As TJ left him alone with his thoughts, Kevin couldn’t help but feel like he was making a mistake.

  Later that day, he packed up and got ready to go. He was driving out to Camp Tack tonight. Wyatt wasn’t planning on going with him. He had work to do. That was fine with Kevin. He needed a little break from his Dom. He needed to get this thing with his ex-boyfriend settled if he ever was going to be able to move on.

  Chapter Eight

  Wyatt didn’t have plans to head out to Camp Tack, but he was going to anyway. He didn’t like how secretive Kevin was suddenly being. He’d been standoffish at work all day. Wyatt felt like the man was trying to pull away from him and that scared him.

  As he drove down the long, winding gravel drive up to camp, the SWAT team was already out there running drills. TJ was along the sidelines, watching them as they used the canopy overhang, rappelling from platform to platform. It only took Wyatt seconds to spot Kevin within the crowd. The sunlight was fading quickly into dusk. He parked his car, shutting off the engine and getting out.

  Wyatt had brought his stuff to spend the night. He was hoping to catch a few moments alone with Kevin if it were possible. He crossed the courtyard and headed straight for the team. TJ gave him a quick nod before he looked away. What the actual fuck was that about? TJ wasn’t one who normally avoided his gaze. What was going on?

  Everyone was acting weird lately, and he didn’t like it.

  “TJ.”

  “I wasn’t expecting to see you.”

  “I thought I might stop by to see how Kevin was doing.”

  “Kevin’s doing fine.”

  TJ wasn’t normally was so standoffish. What was going on? Wyatt narrowed his gaze behind his sunglasses, trying to figure out why TJ was acting the way he was.

  “Are you staying the night?” TJ asked.

  “That’s the plan. I thought I might stay for a while.”

  “Well, you should know that we don’t have the room for you to spend the night.”

  He was serious. This was the first time he ever came out to camp and they told him to leave. He did not like this one bit. He was going to find out what was going on if it killed him. “I can sleep in my car if I have to.”

  TJ’s lips twitched. “I knew you wouldn’t take no for an answer.”

  “You going to tell me what the hell is going on?”

  TJ crossed his arms, tapping his fingers on his bicep. “I told Kevin that you wouldn’t be happy.”

  “About what?” Wyatt asked.

  “Kevin planned to fake his death to draw out Jeff.”

  Fuck. “Seriously? Please tell me you talked him out of it.”

  “I did. He’s desperate finish this thing with Jeff. That’s not a good place to be in.”

  Wyatt stared at his sub. He obviously wasn’t doing enough to make Kevin feel safe if he felt the need to go to drastic measures. “No. It’s not. We’re in agreement there. How did you talk him out of it?”

  “I told him that we would come up with another plan to draw out Jeff.”

  “Have you?”

  “Not yet.”

  “Let me handle it,” Wyatt said.

  TJ nodded. “Will do. Keep me posted if you need anything.”

  After the training exercises were over, Wyatt took a few seconds for Kevin to catch his breath. He looked good out there. When he was certain that Kevin was ready, Wyatt went over and chatted with him. “You looked good out there.”

  “Thanks.”

  There was a shy quality to Kevin’s voice. As a Dom, Wyatt liked the way his sub was so obedient around him, but something was going on. He could feel it in the air, and he did not like what he was feeling. With all focus on Kevin, Wyatt followed him toward his cabin. Kevin went straight for the shower and Wyatt was pleased to see that he was alone. He took the opportunity to follow Kevin in the shower without getting undressed. He watched as Kevin got beneath the hot spray and he nearly moaned as his cock kicked out hard.

  He wanted to take his sub, but now was not the time. As water rained down upon Kevin’s body, worshipping it, Wyatt wished he could run his hands down over his athletic body. Kevin was so fucking beautiful. The man was sexy as hell and knew it, too. The fact that he would submit completely to Wyatt turned him on. He didn’t know of any alpha male like this who would submit so easily in the bedroom.

  Wyatt thought about how long it’d been since he’d eaten ass. He wasn’t a Dom who normally sucked cock and ate ass but right now he was fucking craving it. Kevin’s eyes lit up in surprise when he turned around seeing Wyatt watching him so closely.

  “I didn’t know you came in.”

  Wyatt let his gaze go heavy as he worked it up and down over his sub. “What’s your schedule?”

  “I think we have one more training session after dinner and then I’m free.”

&
nbsp; “I like the sound of that.”

  As Wyatt closed the distance between them, he knew he was about to break his rules. He didn’t normally fuck around with a submissive at work, but he was about to. He flipped Kevin around, pushing him up against the side of the tile. He loved the way Kevin inhaled a sharp breath as Wyatt took control of his sub. He spread his ass cheeks wide, smoothing his wet fingers between Kevin’s ass cheeks and rubbing them over his rim.

  Kevin moaned, arching his ass back completely. Before Wyatt could stop himself, he kissed his way over Kevin’s shoulder and down his spine. He didn’t stop licking his tongue down over his tailbone until his tongue was walking across his rim. A sob of pleasure escaped Kevin’s parted lips.

  Before he could stop himself, Wyatt was grabbing hold of Kevin’s ass cheeks, spreading them wide. He was loving, lavishing, and worshiping Kevin’s ass. He wanted to feel his sub come hard. Just a thin curtain separated them from anyone who could walk into the locker room. He didn’t want to risk either one of them getting caught, but he couldn’t stop himself from taking his submissive there.

  He stood up, kissing his way over Kevin’s back again. When he got to his mouth he kissed him possessively, taking complete control of his sub. He wrapped his arms around Kevin’s neck, purposely cutting off his breathing as they kissed. He loved the fact that Kevin had nipple rings. He loved running his palms over his pecs.

  The sound of the door opening had them both freezing. They were protected within the stall, but still, Wyatt was worried that they were going to get caught. He tried to quiet their breathing as he pressed his cock slowly into Kevin’s ass. A low whimper echoed from Kevin’s mouth, causing Wyatt to cover his mouth with his palm.

  The sound of voices reverberated within the locker room but that didn’t stop him from fucking his submissive. He fucked Kevin slow and hard, and didn’t stop until both of them were coming powerfully. Wyatt’s entire body convulsed as he felt Kevin let go within his arms.

  * * * *

  Goosebumps pebbled over Wyatt’s skin. Kevin loved the way Wyatt held him so close. They shouldn’t have been doing this together, but there was nothing stopping either one of them. He hadn’t expected Wyatt to show up for his SWAT training. Now that he was, Kevin was having second thoughts about pulling away from his Dom. He didn’t want to upset his Dom and lover.

  “There’s something I need to tell you.”

  Wyatt lifted his fingers and put them up to his lips. “It’s going to have to wait until later.”

  Later was going to have to work for Kevin. Wyatt was already pulling away from him and leaving the locker room bathroom. After he finished showering and got dressed, Kevin went to find the rest of the guys. They were all milling about and having dinner in the cafeteria. Kevin bypassed all of them and went for TJ. Their eyes locked as Kevin approached him. Again TJ shook his head. He wasn’t happy about the situation either, but what else were they supposed to do? When they were face-to-face, TJ let out a long sigh.

  TJ’s gaze went past Kevin to Wyatt as he moved through the cafeteria.

  TJ reached out and grabbed him by the arm as he started to pass by. Their gazes locked. “Your safety is my priority.”

  Across the cafeteria, Wyatt was watching them closely. All of a sudden, Kevin did not like the focus being on him. He needed a few minutes alone to gather his thoughts. “I’m going outside to take a deep breath.”

  “I think that’s a good idea.”

  As Kevin crossed the cafeteria, he felt Wyatt’s eyes on him. He headed out the back door toward the pathway that led toward the forest. He needed a few minutes alone to think. If they weren’t going ahead with this plan, he didn’t know what he was going to do to get Jeff away from him. He needed an out. He glanced over his shoulder, looking into the cafeteria windows and seeing Wyatt talking with TJ.

  Emotion welled up deep inside of him. He was tired of everyone looking out for him and everybody telling him what he could and couldn’t do. It was so completely ridiculous, but he needed to go for a long walk. With the sunlight fading fast, he headed out into the trees away from all the chaos of camp.

  He just needed a few minutes alone. Just a few.

  “Kevin.”

  At the sound of his name, he turned and glanced over his shoulder in time to see something flash in front of his eyes before striking his temple. Everything inside Kevin’s body froze up tight as stars bloomed behind his eyes. He stumbled backward. Jeff was the last person he expected to see here now. Jeff was coming toward him.

  Afraid, Kevin took off at a zigzagging run, but he didn’t make it far before Jeff tackled him from behind. Kevin fought him, but it was useless. Jeff had surprised him and had gotten an advantage by hitting him in the head with something. His head was ringing as he fell hard to the ground. The warmth of blood dripped down over his brow.

  Somewhere far away, he heard the sound of his name again. This time, it was Wyatt searching for him, but it didn’t matter. He knew Jeff was going to kill him before Wyatt even found them. With everything in his body, Kevin fought Jeff, but it was no use. Jeff’s once-beautiful face was twisted into a hate-filled rage that sent a ripple of cold fear over Kevin’s heart. Everything around him went black and he faded fast into the deep forest of unconsciousness.

  * * * *

  A little while later, he woke up to the feel of his feet dragging along the ground. He wasn’t certain how long he’d been out but it didn’t feel like it’d been that long—well, long enough for Jeff to put duct tape on his mouth and around his wrists.

  The rustling of leaves and sticks moved around him. He looked up, seeing the fading moonlight high in the sky, and he knew it was really late. His first thought was of Wyatt and the real possibility that he wouldn’t be seeing him anytime soon.

  All of a sudden, Jeff stopped dragging him. Jeff leaned over him, looking at him closely. His wild eyes stared down at him and fear coursed through Kevin’s blood.

  “Oh, good. You’re awake. I was hoping I get to talk to you while I bury you alive.”

  Cold fear sliced through Kevin’s heart as he thought about the man he wanted and wouldn’t be able to see again.

  Jeff circled around him, taking his time as he moved. “You know it didn’t have to be this way.”

  Kevin tried to work the duct tape off his hands, but it didn’t budge. Terror came over Kevin as Jeff unzipped his pants and whipped out his cock. Kevin turned his head away as tears misted through his eyes, expecting to be raped. What came instead was even more shocking. Jeff pissed on him. Right in his face. He coughed, turning his face into the mud, but the heat of Jeff’s piss hit him in the neck.

  Not ready to give up, Kevin kicked out, knocking Jeff off his feet. He screamed as Jeff pressed a Taser to his chest. His body convulsed as he fell to the ground.

  Jeff leaned down. “I even took care of that officer who you guys had following me.”

  Chapter Nine

  Wyatt couldn’t find Kevin. He’d left a mere ten minutes ago, but he never came back inside. Where was he? Wyatt started asking around, but no one had seen him.

  He tried to keep the panic from taking over his rational thoughts, so he went into police mode. He had to be around there somewhere. They were out in the middle of nowhere. There was no chance that Jeff found him out here. Was there?

  After checking the restroom, Wyatt started to really panic inwardly, but he kept his cool. Where was he? “Have you seen Kevin?”

  It was always the same response. “No.”

  He reached for his cell, dialing Sgt. Vance. There was no answer. That wasn’t like him. Why wasn’t he picking up either? He had to know where Jeff was.

  Pacing, Wyatt didn’t see Kevin come back inside. Wyatt went out of the cafeteria and headed for his cabin. He slammed open the door, looking around. “Kevin, are you in here?”

  No answer at all. That had him leaving the dorm and circling around the cabin. He stared out at the forest. As he headed toward the trail, he thought he
heard something, but he couldn’t be sure. All the hair on the back of his neck stood on end. Wyatt took off down the trail. Something was not right here. As he rushed through the forest, he knew he couldn’t stop until he found Kevin. He had to be out there. Wyatt was sure of it.

  Off in the distance, he caught sight of a car running. It didn’t take him long to recognize Jeff’s SUV. What he saw sent terror raining down through his body. He regretted not being armed. Instead, he knew he needed to use his body to stop Jeff from taking Kevin away from him. Jeff was struggling to put Kevin in the trunk of his car. Duct tape bound his face, arms, and legs.

  Wyatt came out of the dark and threw a punch at the back of Jeff’s head, knocking him into the trunk door. He grabbed Jeff by the shirt, spinning him around and slamming him into a tree. Jeff hit hard and collapsed to the ground. That didn’t stop Jeff. He kicked out, hitting Wyatt in the shin and making him stumble backward from the blow. They fought hard and dirty.

  Several punches connected with Wyatt’s face as he hit back even harder. He kicked and punched Jeff, taking him to the ground. He heard a moan as hard hits connected with Jeff’s face. It took Jeff several seconds to stand back up. Wyatt relished the fact that he was taking all his anger and aggression out on the man who had totally destroyed Kevin’s life. Wyatt wanted to make him pay for all of it. He knew he shouldn’t have been escalating the situation, but he couldn’t help it.

  He could see Kevin watching him with wide, fearful eyes. He wanted to show his sub that he would protect him at all costs. That thought had Wyatt kicking and punching and wrestling Jeff to the ground. He wrapped his arm around Jeff’s neck, cutting off his breathing.

  He lowered his lips to his ears and said, “You’re never going to have access to my lover again. You’re never going to touch him, and every time you’re getting raped in a jail cell, you’re going to think of me fucking you over.”
