Lucas stared at him curiously before nodding his head in agreement. “Of course. Whatever it is, it stays between you and me.”
Turning back to the wall, Caden turned the fixture to the left and pulled the wall forward, revealing Marcus’s hidden room of illegal toys.
Lucas gasped behind him.
“Holy shit. What is this?” he asked, stepping forward and following Caden into the secret room.
“This, here, is theroom that does not exist.”
Lucas’s eyes went wide as he took in the room around him.
“Blade, Nikolai, Ace and I run pick-up and delivery for Marcus. We transport guns, make drug runs, and even procure certain rare and hard-to-find items. This room is where we keep all the merchandise until Marcus is ready for us to make the delivery. Like I said, only a select few know about this room, so you can’t tell a soul that I let you in here.”
He hoped that he could trust Lucas not to blab his mouth.
Lucas walked around the room, taking a look at all the items. He seemed intrigued and curious, opening boxes and picking up guns as he browsed.
“Shit! Are those snakes?” Lucas asked, jumping away from a few tanks containing various species of the slithering reptiles.
“Yeah, we got some dude who likes to do research, so we catch these guys for him and then deliver them when he needs them,” Caden explained as he began looking through some boxes on the floor.
He was pretty sure that he had seen a box of cleaner somewhere that they used to disinfect the tanks when not in use.
“Bingo!” Caden shouted, lifting the lid off one of the boxes. “Found you some extra cleaner.”
Lucas walked over to where he stood, no longer interested in the cleaning products he was originally searching for. He bent down and picked up a few bottles without actually looking at what he was grabbing.
“So, how often do you guys do these jobs for Marcus?”
Caden shrugged. “A few times a month. It brings in some pretty good cash for the crew, and Marcus is making a pretty good name for himself in the criminal underworld.”
“Wow, you guys are pretty gangster after all.”
Laughing, Caden headed to the door. “Yeah. You should see me when I’m on muscle duty.”
“Muscle duty?” Lucas asked, stopping and staring at Caden.
Caden flexed his bicep and gave Lucas a wink. “Cartels pay extra when they hire the crew to protect their asses during high-risk meetings or deliveries.”
He swore he saw Lucas’s cock twitch in his pants.
Yeah, he was totally getting a boner thinking about him being all tough and manly.
Caden liked the thought of the boy getting turned on thinking about him as the protector. He wanted to explore that scenarioa little bit more later on, but for now,Mr. Broadwayhad chores to get done.
“Come now. Don’t you have some toilets that need scrubbing?”
Lucas gave him the finger as he walked past him and exited the room.
The boy was feisty when he wanted to be.
Caden loved it.

LUCAS
Tugging the corner of the blanket, Lucas smoothed out the edges and patted it lightly when he was done.
