He picked up another piece of toast and started munching, smiling still.

“You guys keep this up and breakfast is being held at fucking McDonald's from now on.” Killian grunted, sipping his coffee, annoyed.

Travis snorted.

Wiping his hands on his napkin, his smirk disappeared. “Peace, brother. Nobody is touching Aurora. She belongs to you. You need to go to her.”

I gave a curt nod, acknowledging our friendship and peace deal. As for Aurora, he didn’t understand the complexity of our relationship.

“First, you need to handover the tapes,” Maddox said. “Unless you want to deal with this privately?”

I nodded slowly.

The desire to cut their throats and risk going to jail had weakened since falling for my girl, but that didn’t mean going to the feds was right, either.

A private organization might get information quicker and deal with it more effectively.

I needed to decide either way.

“I vote to hand them over to the authorities and Romeo here goes to get his girl. But I’m romantic like that.” Travis chucked his napkin on his plate while Zayne choked on his coffee.

“You own a fucking sex club.” Killian laughed.

“I like to think of it as a dating agency.” He smirked, then gave us a salute as he stood. “Speaking of, I have to get going as I have a hot date tonight and a lot of work to get done beforehand.”

My mouth fell open.

The others stared at him like he’d announced he was gay. Which would be fine. But highly unlikely because of the amount of pussy he had on the daily.

As far as I knew, he’d never been on a date in his entire life. I mean, the guy owned a fucking sex club, so he had pussy on tap.

“With your mother?” Maddox laughed.

“Gross dude.” Travis gave him a sick look.

“I didn’t mean...forget it. Who’s the girl?”

I was also curious. I got why he was such a rogue playboy. His father was a beloved American TV actor and the source of his pain.

Like us, Travis’s father was responsible for his innocence taken way too early. The two are estranged and I’ve often wondered why he didn’t just out the guy to destroy him.

I don’t know for sure, but I think Travis has threatened him on occasion, but we all know people love to hate a billionaire. Travis is worth ten times what his father is, and in the world of social media, it could bite him in the ass.

Like a snake.

“Let’s just say I’ve found a new toy to play with. Someone who can help me destroy my father very publicly.”

“One star. Wouldn’t recommend it,” Maddox said with his mouth full.

Zayne and Killian laughed.

“You have to be fucking kidding me. You’ve been riding my ass about Aurora for weeks and now you plan to drag some girl into your family drama?” I shot him a look.

Travis tipped back his head and laughed.

“I’m not stupid enough to fall in love like you two losers. Watch and learn boys. Watch and learn.”

He drops some big notes on the table, grabs his jacket, and leaves.
