Adrian let out a soft breath, nodding against his skin. "Alright, baby."
With the threat downstairs finally put to rest, Adrian shifted slightly in Matteo's arms. His expression grew hesitant as he thought back to everything that had happened in the hallway while Matteo was away.
"Hey, babe..." he began softly.
Matteo glanced down at him. "Hmm?"
Adrian hesitated for a moment before finally opening up.
"While you were downstairs, Kevin said some things that really bothered me."
He went on to explain the entire conversation, from Kevin's suggestion about staying in the master bedroom to the warning Adrian had given him in return.
By the time he finished, Adrian's face was twisted with obvious displeasure.
"I know he's your friend," he admitted, his voice filled with pure distaste. "But I really don't like the idea of him staying here with us. At all."
Matteo's expression hardened for the briefest moment at the memory of Kevin's request.
He didn't like it. Not even a little.
