"Don't mention it." Aaron shrugged and ran his hand through his silver hair. He had shoved his and Kian's masks into his pocket for safekeeping. He stood up and was about to walk away when Kian grabbed his hand. His fingers curled around Kian's, and this spark ignited between them.

"Information about everything you need to know about Declan and some of the business he does that don't show up in legal records," Ryan responded.

"Thank you, sir," Kian remarked.
