“I accepted Killian’s job offer at Sentinel Security.”
She blinked.
“I’ve never lied to you. I love you, Jet.”
Air rushed back into her lungs. She stepped back, looked around, then snatched a book off the bedside table. She threw it at him.
Luckily, he had good reflexes and dodged.
“You just gutted me, Cain! I thought—”
He snatched her up and tossed her onto the bed. His big body came down on top of hers.
“You want me?” he asked. “In your life?”
“Yes,” she whispered.
“As I am? With all the scars, the flaws, the—”
“Yes.” She cupped his cheeks. “I see those, along with all the good things. I love them all.”
He kissed her. It was long, hard, and left her with no doubt how he felt.
“Then you’ve got me, pixie. Forever. I’mneverletting you go.”
She smiled, love filling her like sunshine. “Then you’d better buckle up, Bond, because it’s going to be a hell of a ride.”

Cain sipped his bourbon.The seat in the booth was comfy, and it was early, so Ember was quiet. Later, the crowds would pack the nightclub, eager for fun and escape.
He’d been back to Langley and resigned, much to his boss’ horror. He’d tied up his cases, and handed them off to other agents.
Most of his colleagues had been shocked to see him leave.
Once he got back to New York, he was planning to enjoy a week off. He’d already hired a yacht. He was going to take Jet on a sailing holiday around the Bahamas. Just the two of them. And hopefully some tiny bikinis for her. He smiled. He’d also organized very good satellite internet from a contact, so she could still stay connected.
When he wasn’t keeping her busy doing other things.
It hadn’t taken him long to pack up his near-empty D.C. apartment. His lease had been month-to-month, so there’d been no problem with him vacating it at short notice.
Now, he’d made one more detour to New Orleans for one last thing.
Then he could get back to his pixie.
He smiled. They texted each other during the day, and called each other every night. A whole week he’d been away, and he was so eager to see her. He’d also coaxed her into two very memorable video call sex sessions. His cock twitched. Yes, he wasveryeager to get to New York.
The staff door at the back of Ember opened, and two men strode out.
Dante was wearing black suit pants and a black shirt. His shaggy, dark hair was tousled. The other man was a couple of inches taller than Dante, a littler leaner, but all hard-packed muscle.
Dante’s brother Colton.
He wore black motorcycle boots, well-worn jeans, and a black T-shirt that left no doubt about how in shape he was. Black ink covered his forearms.
Colton was a bounty hunter. A good one. He only took the toughest cases. Last Cain had heard, Colt had nabbed a serial killer who’d escaped custody and killed some college students.
As the men approached, Colt spotted Cain and lifted a hand.
