"Tonight was surprisingly calm in terms of fights," Kai agrees as he leans into Aidan more, turning his face into his boyfriend's neck to breath him in. "I guess Anton's crowd is making some plans. I doubt this will be the end of it." It's not often that someone says no to the mob families and it doesn't go unpunished for long when someone does.
Aidan considers mentioning that if Ulysse would just ask it, he's pretty sure Damian and Despil would speak to their family to see about getting Anton to back off, but then that might inspire Kai to consider speaking to his own messy family. He knows it would be for the best if none of the extended criminal families would get involved, but he's not entirely sure how long that can stay true, especially when both have their heirs working at the bar where all this is centered around.
He sighs and noses along the top of Kai's head, content to scent the man's usual products under the overlay of bar smells, and gives a gentle squeeze to Kai's shoulders. "We'll find a solution to Anton. Eventually."
"I hope so," Kai murmurs as he presses his nose up to Aidan's jaw and then brushes a few kisses along his jawline. "I guess eventually if there's enough damage done to his family, his father or whoever is running the family now might consider the bar not a good investment of their resources. As far as I know it's just Anton, who just wants to terrorise Ulysse. Though, I'm not in the loop so much that I would know if the property is that valuable that it would be otherwise a good investment for the family to sour up the business..."
He shrugs a bit and then tears a piece of warm and feathery light croissant into his mouth. It might be possible for him to figure that out, but he's not all that eager to talk to the family he hasn't been in contact with for a long time.
"No use worrying about it, now," Aidan murmurs against Kai's temples, quietly content that the croissant is getting eaten. If Kai were well and truly worried about all this, he wouldn't be able to stomach even that little mouthful. "We'll just hope the bouncer manages to do his job well enough that things stay quiet for a bit, and when Anton acts up again... then we'll see what can be done."
Instead of drawing out the second croissant from the bag, Aidan reaches for Kai's hand to pull up the torn one so he can just take a bite right from it, not caring that some flakes of pastry might end up in his beard in the process. "Mm... I almost forgot how good Sal's croissants are," he comments with a little smile. "I'll have to get some when we're doing our day off together."
"We'll hope..." Kai murmurs as he watches his hand being lifted and his lover taking a bite of the croissant. He reaches up to brush off the crumbs from the neat beard and then leans up to press a kiss to the corner of Aidan's mouth.
"Looking forward to that. Though, more for you than the croissants if I'm honest."
Kai tears another piece from the pastry and pops the first into his own mouth, the second of its sort is offered to Aidan while Kai curls up closer to him, shifting one of his thighs to throw over his boyfriend's lap.
Aidan chuckles and rests his hand over the leg now in his lap. "Good to know I don't need to compete with a pastry for your affection," he teases lightly as he gives a squeeze to Kai's knee. "I'm not sure my self-confidence could handle it, otherwise."
"That could be dangerous," Aidan comments mildly, taken as he is by that ridiculously sunny smile that makes the rest of the world fade away for a second. "Because you could either get sick of me or go through me until there's nothing left. Just as well you don't see me all hours of the day so I can slow down that process..."
And since he can't help it sometimes, he ducks his head to drop a soft kiss to Kai's smiling lips, maybe being cheeky enough to flick his tongue out to catch some of the crumbs lingering there. It's Kai's own fault for smiling like that.
"That sounds almost like cannibalism," Kai murmurs just as Aidan leans in to kiss him, humming as he feels the touch of a tongue upon his lips. Aidan might have meant to end it with just a peck but Kai has other ideas as he quickly brushes off the crumbs from his hand and reaches up to curl it in brown hair, drawing Aidan down, closer to him.
There is nothing innocent about the kiss Kai unleashes on them, open mouthed with eager tongue, making love to Aidan's mouth as the best he can.
Aidan really should have expected the kiss to turn filthy, but somehow he's still caught off-guard and his lips part further with a surprised gasp that morphs into a soft moan. It doesn't take long for him to respond in kind, though, his hand coming up to gently cup Kai's cheek as he angles his head to deepen the kiss.
If they weren't out by the beach with people starting to emerge as the sun climbs the sky all around them, Aidan would be rolling Kai over and maybe starting to attack their clothes. However, he's quite aware of where they are, now, and he ends up breaking the kiss with a regretful little groan, staring down at his lover with heated eyes.
"You're making me regret taking the scenic route," he 'accuses'.
Kai licks his lips when the kiss is broken, the look in his golden eyes honey-heavy and lingering on Aidan. First there's no words, just a smile that curves over those kiss swollen lips, reaching up to smatter some crowfeet around Kai's eyes.
"Mission accomplished," he says finally and leans up to bump his nose to Aidan's, dimples still remaining as he nips at Aidan's mouth.
"Take me home, yeah? The sun is rising, we're missing our window..."
There's an answering huff of exasperated yet fond amusement and Aidan gives a 'chastising' nip to Kai's jaw before releasing the man and sitting up. "See if I ever treat you to a dinner out if this is how you're gonna be," Aidan mutters.
He dusts off his pants and offers his hand down to Kai, eyes still dancing with mirth.
"What? Thirsty for a promised romp in our bed?" Kai makes a face for Aidan's benefit. Because it's always worth it to make the serious man smile a little more.
"Excuse me for being eager to sex you up, I'm just a human," Kai huffs as he lets himself be pulled up and reaches over to pop the remaining bit of a croissant into Aidan's mouth before brushing the crumbs off his own clothes.
Aidan automatically accepts the croissant without question or delay, rolling his eyes as Kai continues to tease. "That was going to be coming (hah) later anyway. This was unnecessary," he 'argues', jerking his head towards the bike so they can get a move on.
"You gonna be like that?" Kai teases as he follows Aidan to the bike. "I'm impatient, what can I say? I like the taste of your cock more than croissants? You fill me better than combined efforts of scenery and gluten?"
He is aiming to see that smile even if that means he'll have to be ridiculous.
"One of these days, that mouth of yours is gonna get you into some big trouble," Aidan retorts, though Kai's successful in drawing out that little smile from him with these ridiculous antics. He passes the helmet to Kai before mounting up, continuing, "I'm not sure how, but there will be repercussions."
"You just wish there is going to be consequences," Kai hums as he slips onto his seat behind Aidan and wraps his arms around the man. "But if you want to punish me for being brilliant, you surely can do that, love. I'll take a few spanking from you happily."
Just to be a little more bratty and because his love language is a whole lot of teasing, Kai lets one of his hands slip down to his boyfriend's lap and gently pets his cock through his trousers.
Aidan twitches but given how used to Kai's antics he is, that's all the man is getting along with the shake of his head. The bike roars to life and then that cheeky hand is being firmly drawn back up to Aidan's waist and he snorts, "Careful or we're not making it home in one piece, jeez..."
Kai laughs, not even bothering to try yelling his response to Aidan over the roar of the engine. It's an effective way to shut him up. And he'll allow it, it's one of the ways Aidan can put an end to Kai's motor mouthing. Instead, there's a squeeze around Aidan's waist and Kai lets his chin rest on his boyfriend's shoulder.
They definitely make it home soon. Slightly faster than they normally would, even, because Aidan is admittedly inspired to hurry. Still, he doesn't do anything so obvious as to push Kai to their door or pin him there for a quick kiss, but the hand at his lover's lower back is definitely unnecessary, as is the way Aidan's not looking at him and seems instead very focused on getting his keys out to get them into the house sooner rather than later.
Even when the door is locked behind them, keys set aside, though, Aidan's still not looking to Kai. His voice is deceptively mild as he shrugs off his jacket and asks, "Did you want to wash up first or go straight to bed?"
The hand at his back and Aidan's quiet focus make something simmer deep within Kai's gut. There's really no need to talk about it or come up with silly come-ons.
Keys clink to the table, Aidan is taking off his jacket and Kai snorts softly as he toes off his shoes. Then comes the jacket and from there on he'll drop a piece of clothing off every couple of steps as he aims towards the bedroom.
"What do you think?" he asks, glancing back at his lover from the stairs, hair mussed up after he yanked off his shirt and eyes practically glowing with lust. "I don't care as long as you get naked and stop talking nonsense. I've been waiting all night."
Aidan stares after him with that same quiet intensity that had brought them into the house in silence. Some of the golden light of the morning sun is streaming down from the small window above the first landing of the stairs, painting Kai's body with all the care of an artist highlighting the graceful curves and strength of his figure.
"How patient you are," Aidan finally murmurs, following after Kai but stooping to pick up the discarded clothing as he goes because if he doesn't do something with his hands, he's going to end up just racing up the stairs to grab at Kai. "I'm surprised you didn't just drag me into the bathrooms at the bar..."
"I've been very patient," Kai replies as he peels open his jeans, staring down at his very calm and quiet lover. "You sent me to work with a promise, and I've been thinking about that promise all night through."
Pushing down the denim from his hips, almost teasingly taking along the underwear, just over the jutting bones, down along the V that leads to his groin but not quite far enough. Not before Aidan will get on the stairs.
"I'm going to start without you if you don't move, my love..."
There's a pause at the foot of the stairs, Aidan's empty hand resting on the bannister to give him something to brace himself with before he dares look up. As soon as he sees Kai like that, so carelessly sensual and half-naked, his pupils are visibly blown against the pale green irises and the breath catches in his throat before it slips out in a shuddering exhale.
"Kai..." he begins in a voice that's dropped to a barely audible rumble. His fingers tighten on the rail and he swallows.
That tone of voice goes through Kai like a lightning, leaving him shivering and drawing in a stuttering breath. The deep, deep rumble that sometimes comes out of Aidan tends to make Kai's knees weak and he lets out a barely audible whimper.
"Babe," he pleads without bothering to voice any actual pleas. There's something absolutely maddening about seeing Aidan like this, ready to bounce. He's usually so calm and reserved, Kai can't get enough of that control crumbling away a little bit.
He says nothing else, just inches his jeans a little lower, just past the line of his pubic hair as he starts making slow steps towards the remaining steps, it's literally hard to turn his back but at the same time, inching those jeans down over his glutes while he walks up the stairs is probably going pay off beautifully.
