"You know I am." Kasey smiled.

"Good. Then I'll talk to you two soon." He gave a nod to Noam before turning and leaving the kitchen.

A few seconds later, Noam heard the front door open and close. He glanced over at Kasey. "Wow, that's a lot to take in. Not sure what to think."

"It is, but I think it's something you'd enjoy." Kasey sat down at the table.

"I do too. I just don't know if it's worth the risk." Noam ran his hand over the back of his neck. "I mean, I wouldn't be working with your team, and my team would be doing everything legally, but there is still that slight chance that someone connects the two."

"There's always a risk, but honestly, I don't think it's a huge one. The fact that you're working with the police and not hiding from them would mean they'd be less likely to suspect anything was amiss. Plus, with your job history, you've already earned their trust. After the last year and all the cases concerning children you had to deal with, this would be a logical step for you to take." Kasey reached for his coffee.

"True, and I could say it was the two kidnapped girls who had been groomed online that pushed me over the edge and made me want to do something more. Everyone would believe that." Noam sighed. "You want me to do this?"

Kasey smiled. "I want you to do what you want to do. I think you'd be perfect for this job, but if it's not what you want, I'd rather you find something that would make you happy."

"They won't pay me to lay in bed all day holding you. That's what would make me happy." Noam grinned.

"Hmm, I might pay you for that." Kasey laughed.

"Seriously, I'm going to do some soul searching today. I'll decide by morning what I'm going to do." Noam was pretty sure he would take the offer, but he refused to rush his decision. He'd think about it all first.

"Then how about we top off the coffee, move to the bedroom, put in a movie, and be lazy for a few more hours? You can think while I hold you." Kasey was already standing and reaching for both their coffee cups.

"Lazy sounds good." Noam stood, giving Kasey a soft kiss before letting him go refill the cups.

No matter what he decided, it meant a lot that Kasey and his team trusted him. He'd worried that they were concerned he'd eventually turn them in. If they were inviting him to join, that meant they weren't waiting for the other shoe to drop, and that meant more to him than almost anything. He loved Kasey and would never do anything to hurt him.
