“Then I can have the paci-fire.”

“Good god, Nico.” I think I might have broken him.

“A number rings and I answered because I thought it was you,” Nico begins his story. The faster I stroke, the faster he speaks, but after a few sentences, we find a pace I can deal with. Andrei doesn't want Nico in charge, he wants the name Balen, there would be very little for Nico to do himself if this deal goes through, but the responsibility and risk sitting on his shoulders would be too much for him.

“Ugh, so close, Mr Caeo.” Nico's words change from storytelling to begging for release.

“You don't call me Mr Caeo. Beg properly boy.”

“Daddy!” he groans. “Please may I cum in the die-purr. Please Daddy. I need it so badly.”

“Nappy, Nico. You can cum in your nappy.”

“Yes, Daddy. In the nap-pee!”

I stroke him harder, pulling deep moans from his throat.

His body stiffens, the only movement is from his cock pulsing in my hand.

“Good boy,” I praise him. “I’ll clean you up and then we have to tell Knox everything, OK?” I think he can manage that now.

Nico and I just stare at Knox as he takes in what we've told him. It was mainly Nico talking, I just promoted him where necessary. Now Knox is just sitting opposite, staring.

“This is really bad, isn't it,” Nico mutters, popping the dummy between his lips.

“It isn't good,” Knox agrees.

It is terrible. Nico would replace Knox as the top dog, in a way. If Edward agreed to the deal, it would change everything.”

“I can sort it out,” Nico offers.

“Nico, the last time you sorted something out, a man died.”

“This time it would be four,” my boy shrugs. “Everyone who piss me off, and the Russian.”

“Why the Russian?”

“Piotr would want payment for helping.”

“Who are the others?”

“Edward Fayer, Carter Turnbridge and Andrei Balen.”

“Nico, you can't take down the four heads of families.”

“I can. Not is that the question. Not can. Should.”

“Balen will deal with me, not my father.”

“Edward didn't quit. He just castled you.” Nico states a fact, but chuckling around the dummy gives him less credibility.

That is a move in chess, where a king can switch places with the rook, so long as the rook hasn't made a move, and the king is about to be checked.

“Fucking bastard,” Knox declares. “Dad knew this was coming as soon as he put together Nico's connections. He put himself in a position where he could rule not just the city, but the whole fucking county. Nico would be put in charge of everything but unable to actually manage the business arrangement. Dad made himself available to run it for him.”

“So, Edward would be running everything in the Romanian’s name, you running the family here, and I bet you anything he's planning something similar with Gregory.” It all makes sense now. But I don't see why Edward wouldn't be open about that.
