Micah examined the black envelope and kept looking at the pictures.
He knows if this gets out, it's over. The damage this is gonna cost.
"We have to find out who sent these, Micah".
Nathan was pacing in the room.
"Get across to Nora, if she can help with this."
"If we find out who sent this, then we can see how we can make them quiet. The pictures aren't leaked yet, so they are just threats"
Nathan embraced Micah.
"I'm so confused right now, I just want all of these to stop ", tears began to form in Micah's eyes.
"Shhh, baby. I got you. Just trust me"
"We should probably check if we can find something in the envelope that might lead to who sent them"
Micah spent hours trying to look for a clue in every detail of the envelope.
He finds a watermark. He snapped it and sent it to Nora.
"Nathan, I found something. A watermark, I sent it to Nora already. She said she would look into it but it might take days."
"It's fine, for these couple of days. I won't be around, I have to spend a planned vacation with Bianca."
"She beginning to, you know feel too lonely from I using work as an excuse "
"It's just a week, immediately I'm back. I would come to you. You owe me, Micah."
"It's fine", Nathan could see the sadness in his eyes.
"I know you are just saying that", Nathan kissed him .
"She's your wife and sometimes the guilt of being a lover to her husband eats me", Micah whispered.
"But, Nathan. How long would I be the Senator's secret lover?".
_____
"I knew it was them, the black envelope was from Dominic."scoffed Nora.
"It was traced back to one of Dominic's allies. Took I and my girlfriend days to find this. Has Dominic reached out to you since?"
"No actually Nathan suggests we find a way to make them quiet and not leak those pictures."
"You know, Nathan might be helping alot but I still don't trust him."
"Nathan is a lot, Nora"
"When would he be back?. Bianca kept posting their vacation pictures. Seems to be having a blast"
"Probably, tomorrow ", his facial expression changed.
"Common man, don't be jealous. Your man is a DL, you have him most of the time than he's wife does"
"I'm off, my mission here is done ", she walked out of the apartment.
A few minutes passed, and the doorbell rang.
Nora must have forgotten something, he thought.
Open the door, to see Senator Marcus Hale....
The running opponent of Dominic. Liberal views but also with unclean hands.
"Hello, Senator Hale"
"Oh Micah, how are you doing?", he offered his hand for a handshake which Micah took.
"Your boyfriend's brave or stupid. So recklessly in love. He made a deal with me", he said straight up.
"What?. I don't know what you are talking about", Micah scoffed.
"A week ago, if I had dirt on Dominic. He
blackmailed you guys I think."
"Asked for protection, so for now or till whenever Dominic and his team would stay away from you and Nathan."
"You got the golden boy wrapped around your fingers ", he chuckled.
"I didn't know about this, Senator Hale"
"Ta da, now you do. Micah, we are at the same party. You should be on my side."
He turned to leave.
"We would see each other again, Micah. You sure look like your Dad", the door slammed shut behind him.

The next morning, Micah got a text from Nathan.
"Come to the secret apartment. I'm back and I'm waiting for you."
Micah got dressed. He missed Nathan but he had things he needed to talk about secretly making a deal with Senator Hale.
Micah got to the apartment. Walked inside, when Nathan hurriedly jumped and hugged him so tight.
"I missed you so much, baby", kissing and hugging him like he would never want to let go.
"I missed you too"
"Come, I bought you a couple of things.", he pulled him to the bedroom.
Nathan had so many designer shopping bags with clothes, ties, and wristwatches.
"Consider these as a compensation for leaving you for too long."
"Thank you, Nathan. How I wish I could publicly shop with you.", he said quietly.
"Baby, come on. Daddy's home for you now."
They kissed, hungrily. Lips and mouth swallowing each other up.
They took off every piece of clothes off each other. Hand's roaming every part. Tongue, teeth, hands in Micah's hair.
"Fuck, baby. I miss you so much."
Nathan said, immediately flipped Micah over.
"Say you miss me so much and I will give it to you."
"I miss you so much, every part of you.", Micah whispered as Nathan had his fingers in him already, making him gasp.
"Get on all fours", Micah obeyed like he was hypnotized.
Nathan got behind him. Slowly, putting himself in.
Micah let out a moan, his hole was filled. Nathan had one hand on his shoulder the other on his waist as he heavily thrust and rimmed into him.
Micah was a mess, every Nathan's movement made him shivered, arched, whispered.
Nathan was letting out loud moans, it felt so good anytime, he was with or in Micah.
Nathan Pace became faster, both of them moved in school. Micah pushed back, Nathan forward.
"Fuck... Nathan...ah", they were both closer to the edge.
"Oh my God, fuck", Micah yelled.
Nathan locked his hand as they both came together.
Nathan fell on Micah's back.
They kissed and hugged each other to sleep.
_____
"Wake up, I made breakfast."Nathan kissed Micah's forehead, running his hands through his hair.
Micah sat up, grabbed a toast.
Nathan had his eye on him while he sipped his tea.
"Why are you looking at me like that?", Micah asked, mouth full.
"Because my boyfriend is cute", pinched his cheek.
Micah puts the food on the table by the bed.
"Nathan, did you go behind my back and make a deal with someone like Senator Hale", he asked.
Nathan doesn't deny.
"I wanted to protect you, baby. I knew in time the envelope was for them and you know I thought about it"
"Your enemy's enemy is your friend, don't worry about it. It's on me and it worked ", Nathan smiled.
"Can't believe you would hide this from me, there's not much difference between Hale and Dominic", he yelled angrily as he put on his clothes.
"Baby relax, I had no choice, you should understand that."
"Our initial plan was to alter the picture and send it to them. Incase, if they wanted to leak those pictures. We could lie theirs were fake."
"Wouldn't that have been so much better ?.
"I need some space, I would call you."
Micah stormed out, ignoring Nathan who was calling after him.
He stopped and got into a taxi.
On the way, the taxi made a wrong turn.
"It's not that way, sir"
The driver made eye contact from the mirror.
"I know Mr micah but someone definitely wants to see you. Relax"
Micah hearts began racing. He was being kidnapped.
