The long-lost love (VegasPete)

Chapter 1 - Leaving you behind

Pete's POV:

"Absolutely not," says Vegas and glares at Khun, sending 1000 daggers to him with his eyes.

"Come on cousin. He was my bodyguard before he became your husband. You stole him from me, so let me have him for at least one week. We even take that little urchin of yours," says Khun and stands his ground absolutely unbothered by Vegas' death stares. I, Khun Kinn and Porsche watch them argue for about ten minutes now.

"Otherwise, I kidnap him, and I will never return him to you," Thankun states as he crosses his arms on his chest. Vegas just sights getting angrier and angrier. I can see it on his face. Usually, I like him angry, but this is the wrong kind of angry.

"Take that crazy brother of yours out of my property or I will shoot him," Vegas growls at Kinn.

"Just let Pete go with us for the vacation, so he is satisfied. Otherwise, he will be bothering you every day. I have extra gourds just for Pete and Venice," Kinn responds, trying to reason with Vegas.

"Why no one in your family seems to understand the word no Kinn?" Vegas responses, and his look changes to even more furious. I step in front of him, looking directly at Khun Noo.

"Thank you very much for your offer Khun Noo, but I believe it is safer and more convenient for us to stay here. Venice is just a child, travelling with one would bother all of you, and there is not much to do with him. Perhaps we can take him and us on vacation when he is a little bit older," I say as I hold my hand on Khun's shoulder.

"Nonsense," Khun opposes: "there is plenty to do for a child, and no one is going to get bothered by that sweet thing."

"It's not like we don't already have one child with us," says Porsche and looks at Thankun. The other just sends a killing look back at him while Kinn and Vegas grin at Porche's joke.

"I am not leaving until you say you will come with us, Pete. We can even take that worthless husband of yours if it's necessary."

"Vegas cannot go Khnu Noo, he has work to do, and I don't want to leave him when he is that busy."

"He can hurry up and finish his work early for his husband, can't he?" Thankhun protest. I just sight, and Vegas rolls his eyes. It is pointless to argue with him right now.

"We will think about it and will let you know in the evening," I say, desperate to end this conversation. Thankun does not seem satisfied and tries to protest again, but Kinn and Porsche drag him away.

Vegas POV:

"Are you serious? You really want to go with them?" I cannot believe my ears. Pete really wants to leave me for that crazy cousin of mine.

"You know he is never going to stop bothering us if I don't go. And it's only for a week" says Pete as he tries to reason with me. He might be right, but I still don't want him to go. There have been a lot of threats recently and I want him and Venice close to me so I can keep an eye on them.

"Moreover," Pete says as he leans closer to me, running his hands up my arms, to my shoulders and finally resting them around my neck: "Thankhun was right. You can manage all the business deals in three days and then come to us . Maybe we could enjoy some private time while others are taking care of Venice," he says and kisses my neck gently, putting more kisses along my jaw line. Then he stops, looks at me and smiles. At that instant, I knew I lost. Every time I see those dimples of his I can not say no to him and he knows it.

"Fine," I resign: "but I want at least three bodyguards with you and Venice at all times."

"Thank you," says Pete and hugs me. I run my hands along his back to his waist, eventually stroking his ass.

"Using the situation to your advantage as always, I see," he says as he grabs my hands and moves them from his ass, ending the hug.

"I am going to call Porsche and set things up for tomorrow morning, and then I pack my and Venice's things. As for the other thing," he leans a bit closer to me again: "we are going to wait until you come to us to the beach, so you have a reason to hurry up and get the deals as fast as possible," he says patting my cheek and kissing it lightly. Then he turns around and starts looking for his phone. I watch his ass as he gets away from me. I will close those fucking deals in one hour if necessary.

Pete's POV:

"Khun Kinn has brought four bodyguards for me and Venice. You really don't need to send Nop with us. We will be fine," I reassure Vegas, but he only frowns, obviously dissatisfied. I put one of our suitcases into the trunk while Arm is helping me with the other one. Thankhun is standing next to the car with Pol, obviously happy that he got his way.

"I would just feel better..." he tries again, but I put a hand over his mouth.

"Enough Vegas. We are leaving with almost the whole Theerapanyakun family and at least two dozen of bodyguards. Who would be so stupid to try to do something to us? Moreover, if you hurry up you will be with us in three days. There's no time for something bad to happen. Now stop frowning and let me kiss you goodbye," I say and get closer to him. He uses the situation and puts one of his arms around my waist to get me closer to him. He puts his other hand on my cheek and kisses me passionately, using my surprise to slip his tongue into my mouth. We kiss in front of all three men still standing there. Suddenly, Arm coughs a little and says: "I loaded your luggage into the car, and Pol already put Venice into the back seat. We should go. Everyone is waiting." I interrupt the kiss to Vegas' displeasure and turn around noticing that Khun and Pol are not standing there anymore.

"I'll call you when we get there. Call me after every meeting so I know you came back home safe," I say and Vegas just nods. I put one more kiss on his lips quickly and sit in the car between Khun Noo and Venice.
