All at once five doors opened and Blake, Alex, Reid, Liam, and Drew moved towards them.

“Are you fucking serious?”

“You’re the boss?”

“This is bloody priceless.” Blake, Alex, and Liam spoke at the same time as the four badasses converged on them.

“I guess you heard then?” Will asked with a smirk.

“I can’t believe you’re the man behind Eidolon. All this fucking time we’ve been racking our brains, trying to figure it out and it was you,” Alex said.

“Why did you hide it?” Drew asked with his head tilted. His hair was a mess as if he had been in bed for some time.

Will shrugged. “I didn’t do it for glory, I did it because my brother needed it and I had the funds to make it happen.”

“But why not tell him?” Reid asked as he rubbed his chin.

“Because Jack would never have accepted it. Am I right?” said Aubrey.

Will turned to her and smiled. She got it, she understood why he did what he did. “Exactly. Jack would see charity and wouldn’t have done it. All he sees is the fuck-up who ruined his life. This way he got to do what he loves, I got to feel less of an asshole, and hundreds of people have been saved by the work we do.”

“But why not work for Eidolon? Why work for Fortis?” Liam asked.

“I don’t want to run a business. I don’t want to work with Jack, and I love Fortis and what we do there. Zack is the best, and I love the team like family without having the shitty history. Except for you, Drew. You get on my nerves,” he joked at Drew who shot him the middle finger.

“Dickhead,” Drew replied.

“Plus, I do all the IT work for Eidolon anyway and contract out to you guys anytime you need me too.”

“Well, as much as I would love to stand out here all night and discuss the family dynamic between you all I’m knackered, so if you don’t mind, I’m off to bed,” said Aubrey.

“Yeah, I guess we should go and see if the boss has calmed down,” said Reid.

“Yeah, wait up, I’ll come too,” said Drew as the four men headed for the elevators.

He watched them go and then turned to Aubrey who was watching him.

“You did a good, Will. I’m starting to think there’s more of a good boy under those tattoos than a bad one.” She laughed then at the thought.

“Why don’t you let me in and I can show you how good I am?” he said with a leer and laughed.

“You can sleep beside me if you want, but only sleep,” she warned with a finger in his chest as he moved her back into the room.

“Scouts honour,” he said with a salute.

“You were not a scout.” She laughed again as she walked back towards the bedroom.

“I sure was. I was in the Eleventh Hereford Scout group,” he said as she tilted her head and he fought the groan as she bit her bottom lip.

“Well, in that case, I know my virtue is safe,” she said as she crawled up the bed and under the covers, giving him the perfect view of her sexy curvy ass in those shorts.

With an audible moan, he turned his back and taking off his jacket threw it on the chair in the corner of the room. Sitting down he shucked his boots and then stretched out next to her on top of the covers. He wasn’t a saint after all.

Lifting his arm, he invited her to cuddle up to his side which she did without hesitation. Aubrey rested her cheek on his chest, and he cursed the material that separated her silky skin from his. Draping his arm over her shoulder, he used the other to flick off the light.

“Thank you, Will,” she said so quietly he almost didn’t her.

“What for, beautiful?”
