“Barrels ofwhat?”

“We’re not ready to move in yet, we’ve got tobe able to link it to Sebastian first. His friends have been by myhouse.”

“Doing what?”

“Loitering, staring in,making sure I know they’re there.”

“It’s intimidation,”Morris muttered.“Plain and simple.”

Hamish gestured to himself and the bagsunder his eyes. “Well, it’s working. I don’t feel safe in my ownhome. I can’t sleep, I jump at any noise. The sooner we getsomething concrete, the quicker we can take them down.”

Morrissqueezed his shoulder. “And thequicker we can move on.”

Rory looked away, and rolled hiseyes, butMorris noticed.

“It all relies on you doingyour job. Get close to Sebastian.”

Sebastian had been inside hismouth, just not his ass. That was the only way they’d get closer, ifSebastian finally stopped his teasing and had himproperly.

Rory forced a cough.“I’ll do mybest.”

“Make sure youdo,” Morrishissed.

Sebastian was waiting at the gate,arms folded, smug smile spreading his lips, and towels thrown overhis shoulder.

“Thought we couldgo to thegym.”

“As long as you don’t pinme to the mat again.”

Sebastian winked. “You enjoyedit.”

Rory tried to control hissmile, butfailed miserably, then followed Sebastian to the gym. Working outwith Sebastian was sweet torture. Rory worked himself hard, hopingthe burn and overstretch of his muscles would kill hisarousal.

Sebastian stood too close, hishands lingered too long, and at any opportunity, his crotch brushedagainst Rory’s ass. It was maddening, and Rory’s angry glares onlygot replyingchuckles from Sebastian.

“Looking all hot and flustered,Rory.”

He flared his nostrils atSebastian, then turned away. Other inmates were wrestling on themat, Rory recognized one Ollie spoke to—huge-build, blond hair up in aman-bun. He looked like an older version of Ollie onsteroids.

“Jack, right?”

He spun round, and fixed Rory with astare. “Who’s asking?”

“Rory, I’m friends withOllie.”

Jack nodded, then pursed hislips. “What is it you want?”

“Can you teach me thatmove?”

Rory gestured to theguy sprawledout on the floor. Jack smirked down at him, then nodded.

“Sure… if it’s all right withSebastian.”

Sebastian quirked his eyebrow thennodded. “It’s fine.”

“Great.” Rory said, tugginghist-shirtoff.
