Aegis Group Task Force Chapter 190: Killam
Saturday. Private Plane.KILLAM TASTED CHERRIES. SHE smelled like cherries, too.Ivy rocked into him, trapping his dick between their bodies. It was torture of the best kind. He had his hand in her hair now and his other gripping the outside of her knee. Her skin was so damn smooth.Someone did an ear-splitting wolf whistle and reality came crashing back all around him.The plane.Jabby.Why they were here.Fuck.Killam used his anchoring hold on Ivy's hair to pull her back a bit. Her eyes were shut, lips parted, chest heaving. For a moment they stared at each other, lust wrapped around them, creating a cocoon.He still saw Jabby out of the corner of his eye wagging a finger at them, a wide grin spread across his face. "Breaking in my new toy?"Killam tamped down on his anger before it could flare. Women really were just another possession for Jabby. It made Killam sick. Ivy was more than a toy. She'd shown him that.He had to say something. Glaring at the man,

Saturday. Phone Repair Shop. New York City, New York.NASAR CAREFULLY REPLACED THE screen on the phone while his customer looked on. There was a calming, meditative element to this work that satisfied him. This might be the only time he found peace anymore.Used to, he'd return home to find peace. His wife and children gave him the greatest joy.But they were gone now, leaving behind a gaping hole that nothing would fill.Nasar finished the repairs to the phone, then wiped the screen down.It was as good as new, maybe even better now."There you go." Nasar smiled and pushed the device across the counter."Thank you so much." The kid took the phone in both hands. The nervous energy clinging to the kid faded away and a light returned to his eyes.Nasar kept his smile in place until after the door closed behind the teenager. He lowered onto the stool and cradled his head in his hands.His family.His boy would be about the age of that kid if he hadn't been killed.

Sunday. Jabir al Saud's Home. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.HOW WAS IT IVY could have all of the hangover with none of the alcohol?It wasn't fair.Why was she awake anyway?After arriving late in the day, they'd been driven in a hot, cramped limo to the mansion.There was a stark difference between the arid land outside the walls of the mansion's grounds and the lushness inside. The man's very home was a social commentary about the disproportionate way of everything here.They'd had an hour to pick rooms, freshen up, change and be downstairs. But they hadn't seen Jabir at all. Instead, they'd been packed into a dining room, fed and told to wait for hours.Ivy and London had stuck close to each other, watching and feeling out the vibe.There it was again. A soft shuffling sound.She cracked open an eye.A short, curvy figure tip-toed into the bathroom.Their roommate.Everyone was three or four to a room. Ivy had been standing there trying to figure out how the picki

Ivy mourned for Nor. Ivy couldn't judge her. She had no idea what Nor had lived through or what it was like here, but Ivy did know there was no happy ending for her and the prince."There was another girl, an Italian. She's gone now. But she was always talking about the promises Prince Jabir made her. How he was going to marry her. How much she loved him. We all know he doesn't love us. Maybe he's fond of us, some more than others, but he doesn't love us. I know he doesn't love me back. She started getting jealous any time he spent the night with someone else. She wasn't a favorite, never had been, so she spent a lot of time picking fights with people.""Sounds like a great gal," Ivy drawled.Good riddance.Nor nodded and a smile briefly curved her lips. But it was gone in an instant. She gestured at her hair. "I, um, I've been lightening my hair a little every two months. Obviously I'm not naturally blonde. He likes blondes, you know?""It looks really good on you," London s

Sunday. Jabir al Saud's Home. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.KILLAM STARED DOWN AT Ivy, fresh faced with her hair still curled from last night. He hadn't realized how much make-up she'd been wearing until now. The smoky eyes aged her. She looked younger and far more vulnerable right now. And most of all? She didn't look like one of Jabby's girls, and that was a problem.He needed her to be off-limits.She didn't fit into a box. He couldn't place her. She wasn't an enemy, but he didn't think she was a friend, either. No matter that they were on the same job."Are you supposed to be out here?" she asked.He slid his hands into his pockets and leaned against the doorframe opposite of her with an appropriate amount of distance between them. Despite having gotten closer than was professional on the plane, Killam would have to be very careful how much he was seen with Ivy.Jabby shared his women when and how he chose. Liberties were not to be taken. And considering that Jabby had been

Sunday. Phone Repair Shop. New York City, New York.NASAR WIPED THE COUNTERS down despite not having a single customer that morning thus far.He really should consider closing the store on Sundays. Hardly anyone came in. But then he'd have to find something else to do with his time. Something that wasn't waiting for the stars to align.He placed both the microfiber rag and bottle of cleaner under the register. As he stood his gaze landed on the snapshot, he'd had copied a dozen or more times. It was the only remaining picture of his family. The rest of their things had gone up in the blaze that took them.If it weren't for this picture, he wondered if he'd still remember their faces.He blew out a breath and reached out, rubbing his thumb over his wife's face.She'd been a gentle, loving woman. He'd never deserved her.Nasar's cell phone rang.He glanced at the clock.It was past time.He strode to the front door, flipped the lock and turned the signs off. If any

They managed to snag a cabana as it was vacated by two men. Both Nor and London arranged themselves, posing, while Ivy was content to sit cross legged with a pillow in her lap to rest her drink on.The heat wasn't terrible this early in the afternoon, but she suspected it would be scorching before much longer. She was glad she'd put on two layers of sunscreen before getting dressed."What's a typical party day like?" she asked as she let her gaze roam over the party."We'll be here until lunch is set up in the house. Half the people will go inside for the afternoon while some stay out here. It really depends on where Prince Jabir goes. There will be a break where we eat then get dressed before joining the rest of the party for their dinner. Obviously we don't eat.""Wait, we eat separate? Really?" Some of these rules just made Ivy's head hurt.Nor nodded and continued. "I think tonight there's going to be a DJ."Ivy sipped her drink and leaned back against the post, content

Monday. Jabir al Saud's Home. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.KILLAM STARED AT IVY hiding under the table while he swiped his thumb over the darkened screen of his cell phone.What the hell was he going to do with her?She wasn't going to sit back and let him handle this. He couldn't protect her.The only thing left was to work with her, and he didn't know how to do that."I can explain," Ivy said after a prolonged silence.He glanced over his shoulder, a sense of urgency returning."We don't have time for that," he said, scanning the walled-in courtyard for the delivery driver.He saw her crawl out from under the desk and straighten from the corner of his eye.Shit.He turned his head, taking in the full impact of Ivy in a tiny, strapless dress over her bikini that barely covered the essentials. His mouth went dry and not for the first time he wished he'd stolen a quick glance at her during the interview. He wasn't a saint, so why had he tried to play the good guy? What t

Aegis Group Task Force Chapter 374: Quentin, Epilogue
A week later...QUENTIN WISHED HE COULD savor this moment. He slapped the cuffs on the pint-sized asshole who'd had Candi's life in the palm of his hand that fateful night. Was it just a week ago?This should be more satisfying.It was, in a way.Eleven perfectly timed arrests effectively cut off all the heads of Metis. According to Nadine's notes, there was still one unknown head of the organization out there. But they were not alone. Metis itself wouldn't be ordering the death of anyone else. But it didn't bring Nadine back. It didn't restore the time Quentin had lost with Candi. It did make the world a little better, and in the end that's what mattered. Nadine's final acts were all about sacrifice and justice.Quentin stepped back as the FBI agents continued doing their job.He'd been granted permission to be here. As CIA, he had no jurisdiction nor the ability to make an arrest. Still, putting those cuffs on the little asshole felt good.Nadine would be pleased.
Aegis Group Task Force Chapter 373: Candi
Sunday. Clementine Baker's Home, Washington, DC.CANDI CLUTCHED Q'S HAND in both of hers. "Is this it?""Yeah," he whispered.They stared at the moderate sized home in a DC suburb. Now and wind pelted them. Her teeth chattered. And yet, it felt good. The bone chilling cold reminded her that she was alive."Are we going to knock?" she asked."No. Come on. The FBI lookouts know why we're here."Q led her through the yard and a side gate. A uniformed police officer sat at the first-floor window watching them. Q nodded. Candi lifted a hand, but let it drop to her side without actually waving."This way."Solar lights chased away the shadows, making it less ominous. In a few hours, the world would wake up to a blanket of new snow. A clean slate.Candi didn't know how to feel right now.On one hand, they'd found Nadine. They'd done what they'd set out to do.But, Nadine was dead. Her final act had been to save Q and give them the means with which to combat two threat
Aegis Group Task Force Chapter 372: Quentin
Small hands shoved Quentin sideways a second before bullets erupted into the night.Quentin yelled. It was mixed rage and fear. He staggered sideways, only for Nadine to shove at him again."Move, damn it," she barked.They dove behind the shelter of a single boulder. This side of the creek the ground was rockier.Quentin yanked his sidearm out of his holster and sucked down air.Unlike the men at their back, Quentin didn't have unlimited ammunition. Not unless he took theirs."Give me a gun," Nadine hissed.He still couldn't trust her. "No.""Damn you," she growled."Come out and it'll be quick," a voice called out.Nadine laid a finger across her lips and stared him down.He opened his mouth, but she spoke first."You can't think I'm that stupid," she said. With her other hand she pointed back down the way they'd come.She wanted him to go to the creek?"I think you know what your options are," the man called out.Quentin's head knew he couldn't trust Na
Aegis Group Task Force Chapter 371: Quentin
Saturday. Harper's Ferry, VA.QUENTIN KEPT AN ARM right around Nadine and held to the broken stub of a branch. The ground beneath them had started to crumble. He wasn't convinced that they'd keep their perch if he let go.Damn it.Every time they made a move someone was in their path. And it wasn't always the same pair.Were all six circling him and Nadine? Did that mean they'd captured Candi? Or had she gotten away?He'd heard a couple of shots off in the distance. Could it be...?No.He had to keep his mind here and now.Quentin strained to hear anything. A leaf on the wind. The crunch of a boot. Something.To Nadine's credit, even her breathing was soundless.Could he trust her to not turn on him?He didn't think so.She leaned toward him until she could whisper ever so faintly in his ear. "Now."He understood her meaning. They were both watching and waiting for an opening. Words were unnecessary risks.One thing was certain, he could trust Nadine to h
Aegis Group Task Force Chapter 370: Candi
Candi's heart raced as she watched the man kneel by the bag and yank the zipper.She lunged left, behind a tree and drew her weapon.Overhead, there was no mistaking the whining whirl of helicopter blades. It might not be anyone friendly, but DC was about a half hour away by air. They'd called Q's contacts about forty-five minutes ago.Could that be help? More enemies? Something else?She didn't know, but she had to hope. She had to believe this wasn't how it was going to end."Hey!" the man barked. "Get back out here.""Keep the cash and let me go, no one has to know." She clicked the safety off the gun.Candi had mostly blocked out the fact that she'd shot and killed someone after being kidnapped. Now, it was on repeat in her mind.Could she do it again?If she got to tell Q she loved him-again-she'd pull the trigger.Her hands shook.The leaves rustled underfoot, allowing her to track the man's movements. She shifted around the tree, keeping it between them.
Aegis Group Task Force Chapter 369: Candi
Saturday. Harper's Ferry, VA.CANDI CROUCHED BETWEEN THE rotted out remnants of a tree and a dense holly bush. This was as close as she could get to the house without being seen.Where had Q and Nadine gotten to?Candi had run out of the house, unable to hear anything beyond the blood pumping in her ears. She'd pushed ahead, convinced those men were right behind her. The only thought in her head was that she couldn't lag behind or else Q would have to leave her.Only, it had happened the other way around.She didn't know when or how Q got separated from her, but when she'd paused to turn around and look, he was gone.Her teeth chattered together. Had something been on the news about a cold front? The winter had been awfully mild so far. It would be their luck for snow to settle in today.Please, no...Where were they?She cautiously peered out through the branches.All but one of the men who'd arrived at the house had gone into the woods.Was this a bad idea?
Aegis Group Task Force Chapter 368: Nadine
Friday. Harper's Ferry, VA.THIS WAS A DISASTER of her making.The stitch in Nadine's side felt like a knife was being plunged into her. That, or her scar tissue was warning her about the turning weather. The warm spell was most certainly over."This way," Quentin whispered.Her heart twinged.This was her fault.She was going to get this boy killed. And for what?Over the years, she'd lost her focus. She'd become a leaf, being blown about with no respite. She'd done things to stay afloat, things she regretted.Like involving Quentin.He didn't know it yet, but she wasn't leaving this forest alive."Shit," Quentin muttered."What-?"She never got the question out. Her foot slipped on the underbrush then she tripped on a root. Only, the ground wasn't where she thought it should be. She pitched forward and just kept going. Her shoulder hit the steep incline first, then the rest of her. Limbs tore at her clothing. Rocks scraped her skin. Something rubbery smacke
Aegis Group Task Force Chapter 367: Quentin
Friday. Safe House, Unknown, VA.QUENTIN HELD TIGHT TO Candi's hand. He kept glancing at her to make sure she was really there and he hadn't imagined her dramatic return. He had the urge to leave Nadine here and run away with Candi, somewhere it would be just the two of them forever.Instead, he secured the front door then stood in the entry staring at her."And here I thought you'd finally grown a brain," Nadine said dryly.Candi held up her other hand, extending just her middle finger in Nadine's direction.Quentin's phone buzzed. He knew before he pulled it out that it was Wesley. Quentin turned the screen toward Candi. She shrugged and didn't offer any insight into what he should say or do.He clicked the answer button and put it on speaker."Wesley, hey.""Is she there?" Wesley's voice was flat, emotionless.Quentin glanced at Candi. "Yeah."Wesley sighed heavily. "Damn it.""You're on speaker," Candi said."Do you have any idea what I sacrificed to help
Aegis Group Task Force Chapter 366: Candi
Friday.CANDI SLUMPED DOWN A bit more. Wesley gripped the steering wheel like he was on a race course. From where she sat, she could see the speed wavering between five and ten over the speed limit.He couldn't wait to get away from Q.Her heart nearly seized up just thinking that.She wrapped her arms around her more tightly, as if she could hold herself together with strength alone.It felt like history repeating itself.She had to leave because of Nadine for her own good.While Q remained where he was.Candi understood his resolve to carry through with his job. She really did. But her heart couldn't help but feel abandoned. Again.Q had chosen Nadine once over her, and now it was happening again.Yes, Candi knew it was different. This was about doing the right thing and protecting themselves."You're awfully quiet," Wesley finally said."Know your audience," she mumbled.He glanced at her. His sunglasses hid his eyes and made it impossible to guess at wh
