Scott's POV

I can hear the poor lad mourning above me but thankful for both me and him I can ignore him. It's easy when I have two new clients to take care of. One I'll meet in about a week once he gets processed and the other one in a few hours. He sounded desperate on the phone so I can only assume the kid's got himself into something he don't want his father to know. Then again it's none of my business anyway as long as the work is good, as well as the check.

As I check over the notes I made when he called Sunday I can hear Alfred walk down the stairs. "He asleep?" I ask looking over at his tired face.

"Yeah." He answers as he lies down on the couch resting his head on my lap. "He should be out for at least a few hours."

His eyes start to close so I rub his forehead, "Good." I say as I toss my notes aside before pressing my lips to his. "Cause I got a little time before my meetin'."

With a chuckle he opens his eyes, "Really?"

"Can't help it with all these pheromones in the air I'm horny." I say with a wink as he takes a hold of my face pulling be back into another kiss. "And I know you are too."

"Dude you'll knot and once you do that you'll miss your meeting." He answers as he snuggles into the couch. "So you'll have to make due with some kissing."

With a low playful growl I run a hand through his hair, "Maybe I don't want ta make due with kissin'. Maybe I wanna have some fun with yah."

Alfred's body tenses up for a second as he looks up at me with innocent eyes. "What?" He asks as his face reddens slightly. "What kind of fun did you have in mind?" As he sits up I slip off the couch, "Scott…" He starts as I start to play at his belt, "I said you'll knot."

"And I never said I was gonna mate with yah." I answer with another kiss as I wiggle my hand into his pants. A soft gasp escapes his lips as his body relaxes, "Last I checked yah have this for a reason." Sure it's mostly for show but I also know it can be just as sensitive as mine and with a little coxing just as pleasurable. "So a little for yah now and I get mine later."

I can't help but smile when I see his face redden and his eyes widen, "This new ta yah?"

He manages to whimper as he looks away, "Shut up…."

"I'll stop if yah want me ta." I say as I kiss his chin, "Hmm?" Yeah I'm teasing him but if he wants me to stop I'll stop but he looks down into my eyes as he starts to bite at my lip. Since he's currently nibbling on my bottom lip I take that as a continue please, so I keep going.

We don't talk but he gives me an occasional moan until I feel all his body melts into the couch, "Oh god." He says with a pant and a smile. "Scotty..."

"Yeah I know." I say with warm smile as I grab my tan blanket, "Now that should help yah nap for a bit."

While he lets out a laugh he snuggles into it, "Oh so you just wanted me knocked out huh?"

"More like you're stressed out and this helped yah relax." I hand him the remote though I know he'll be out like a light in ten minutes. "He has a few more days so take this time ta get some rest and like I said I'll be back in a few hours."

As his eyes close he nods, "Aww you do care."

"Me?" I answer though I know he's already asleep so I check the clock before grabbing a quick bite to eat. As I take a bite of my sandwich I can hear the wind starting to howl outside. It starts to kick up more and more and soon one of the trees in the back yard looks like it could snap. But just as it's about to break the wind dies down for a moment. I'm sure the wind will kick up again but hopefully it doesn't snap any of my trees. It would be a shame if I had to get one of them ripped out. The wind picks up again as I set the plate in the sink. "Damn." I mutter watching it for a moment before I pull myself away.

While I put on my boots I watch him from my chair. He's so at peace as he snores into the couch. I swear he's like an angel though I'd never call him that out loud, "I love yah." I say as I kiss his forehead goodbye. "Both of yah." As I say it I pat his stomach though I'm surprised to feel movement below. It's a light fluttering movement but I'm sure it's the first time the little girl's moved for me. So while I run the risk of waking him up I kiss his stomach and coo to it for a minute. "Shh don't wake up Mama. He's worn out but when I get back I'll make sure ta bring some of that cookie dough stuff you like."

She makes another fluttering movement and for a moment I'm tempted to call my client and reschedule but my ego won't let me. It would be the first time in four years that I would have cancelled on a client and while this is important I doubt they'd also agree.

So I walk out to my car and drive off towards my office. After about twenty minutes I make it to the darkening parking lot. Before I even get out I feel something's wrong. There's only five other cars in the parking lot, each one I know. Sure I'm a little early I had assumed the kid would be here earlier than me. Of course he could be running late but I don't feel like taking that chance so I reach under my seat and pull out my pistol before tucking it into my holster.

It wouldn't be the first time that a new client of mine has tried to rob me so I take the back way into my office to avoid the metal detector. I'm happy that I've never told Alfred about those times since he'd probably have wanted to come with me.

I can see his face now as I round the corner and find the hallway darkened, "Yeah great." I say as I flick the switch as the lights buzz to life. Still I don't see anyone as I unlock my office door and walk in and look back out at the parking lot. Still only the six cars in the parking lot and now he's ten minutes late.

Soon he's fifteen minutes late and something deep in me starts to wonder. So while I don't want to wake him up I call home anyway. I get to six rings before it dawns on me. I left the front door unlocked and my mate alone to meet a client that already sounded nervous on the phone. "Alfred, answer me." I say as I call again only to get this time a busy tone. "Shit."

As I race down the hallway back to my car I know I'm being stupid, I'm jumping to conclusions. He's fine in fact as I get half way home he's going to call me and say he was on the phone with his brother or trying to call me back. But he said Kuro won't take his loss sitting down. He's part of the local mob after all. "Fuck." I ram my key into the ignition as fear creeps in. "Alfred, be alright. Be pissed at me for wakin' you up, be so fuckin' pissed you tell me ta sleep on the couch. Just be alright."

I start to pray as I pull into the driveway. Every light in the house is turned off and the only thing I hear is the wind whipping through the trees. It's wrong; I can feel it since I turned the front porch light on when I left.

There's a strange smell in the air as I approach the door with my gun in my hands. It's a smell of blood, lust and fear. "No please." I hear whispered as I slowly open the door. "Get off of me!"

It's Alfred that's for sure. "Now why would I do that? You're my mate Alfred."

"No I'm not." He says as he grunts, "Ah, no. No!"

As quick as a flash I throw open the door and point my gun right at the short bastard on top of him, "Kuro. Get the fuck off of my mate." I say with a primal growl.

He stops and turns back, "Oh you." He says before going back to Alfred, "You should leave this doesn't concern you."

"The hell it does. I said get the fuck off of him or I'll-"

"You'll what?" He asks with a playful smile back at me, "Shoot me?" He dares to say it as he unzips his pants. "You don't know who I am Mr. Kirkland."

"No." I say as I pull the trigger. "You don't know who I am."
