Jordan froze for a moment. How would she explain how Honor knew her and had practically dragged Rhys to her?
“Rhys and Honor helped a few times with SWAT. Honor was the officer who took down my nephew’s father,” Jordan said. She cleared her throat and tried to push the memories of that day behind her. It had been one of the worst days of her life. The fear that had crept up inside her at the thought of never seeing Jason again still haunted her.
“Oh, I did hear about that.” Dana nodded. She reached over and rubbed Jordan’s arm.
Jordan smiled at her and blew out a deep breath. She could get over this jealous feeling. If Rhys could beat his down, then she could, too.
“Hey, Knight!” a deep voice called out.
Jordan swiveled to see Zain waving to her. It was apparently time for their weekly team meeting. There was no telling what news Mac and Declan would have for them.
“Looks like I’m being summoned,” Jordan said. She gave both women a hug and promised to call them later to set up a night out for dinner and drinks. She made her way over to Zain, happy that neither Dana nor Amber had picked up that there was something going on between her and Rhys.
“What’s up?” she said, arriving at Zain’s side.
They began walking down the busy hallway toward the conference room they used.
“Nothing much. Your sister’s cravings are starting to drive me insane. Did you know she sent me out at two in the morning to the grocery store to get her some Ben and Jerry’s ice cream?” He ran a ragged hand through his hair.
Jordan chuckled at the thought of her sister sending this big tough guy out in the middle of the night to do her bidding.
“What’s wrong with that?” she asked casually.
“We already had ice cream in the freezer, but it wasn’t the flavor she was needing.” He put up air quotes.
She laughed even harder. Imagine that, a pregnant woman getting what she wanted. Jordan couldn’t help but be happy for her sister. Apparently, she had found the right man for her and Jason.
“Well, you just make sure you get my sister whatever she wants.” Jordan bumped him with her shoulder.
Omara deserved the best in life. That woman had been through some shit, and Jordan would ensure her little sister was taken care of.
“I don’t need you riding my ass, too.” Zain groaned.
They arrived at the conference room door. He held it open and waved her in. She shook her head and knew there was nothing she would have to worry about. Zain was a good man and was crazy in love with Omara.
Jordan entered the room and found several of their teammates already seated. She made her way toward the back where her unofficial assigned seat was. It was funny how a group of tough policemen needed to sit in the exact same seats. When she’d first joined the team, she had made the mistake of sitting in Brodie’s chair. One would have thought that she had taken his favorite toy away from him.
Jordan nodded to Myles, Ash, and Brodie who were already in the room. She took her seat just as Iker came sailing in. The man’s blond hair looked as if he had combed through it with his fingers.
“How’s it going?” Iker muttered. He plopped down in his seat with a heavy sigh escaping him.
“Everything good?” Jordan asked.
“Just living the dream,” he replied dryly.
Jordan glanced over at Zain who just shrugged. There was no telling what was going on in that crazy bastard’s head. Jordan had befriended Jessica, Iker’s fiancée, as she had pretty much all of the women who were with the guys. They were a great group of girls, and she loved hanging out with them. The last time she had spoken with Jessica, she hadn’t mentioned any problems in paradise.
Jordan didn’t know what to say, but if Iker needed to talk, she would be willing to lend her ear.
Small chatter filled the air as the guys fell into conversations while they waited for Mac and Declan to arrive. Jordan pulled her cellphone from her pants pocket. She glanced down at it and didn’t see any text messages from Rhys. Even though she hadrecently seen him, she wouldn’t have been surprised if he had messaged her. He always had a way of making her feel special with just a simple text.
Instead of waiting for him to send the first one, she figured she’d go ahead and do it.
I can’t wait to come home to you.
It was corny, she knew, but it was the truth. She actually did like driving home to his farm. She had some serious decisions to make. She was going to have to do something about her house. Jordan had been avoiding it. Knowing that someone had invaded her personal space left a bad taste in her mouth.
Would Rhys be fine with her just moving all of her things into his place?
