It might have been the easiest and most dangerous trap Todd had ever set.
He’d been given the exact location of the men he hunted, and they’d be waiting for him, expecting a customer. He was sure they’d recognize him. That’s when he expected the dangerous part to begin. He recited his goals in his head: get this done, get back to Nick, and make everything right.

Todd would make Nick understand and accept he was around for the long haul. He’d spent two nights now without Nick firmly wrapped around him, without Nick’s solid weight in his arms and he intended to never sleep that way again.
