PASLEY FELT AS THOUGH his shoes were full of rocks. Every step was an effort.He wasn't tired, he just didn't want to succeed at this job.After reviewing the security footage at the airport that morning he'd thought they'd for sure find the two targets. It was just a matter of time. And he hated the idea of taking them back into custody. Only, as the hours went on and they didn't find them Pasley's hope grew.Could the two targets have evaded them? Were they gone?He'd said a few silent prayers to whatever gods were listening that the targets would somehow make it out of the country. Pasley didn't want to have to kill them. Not after he'd learned more about them. But neither could he simply allow them to slip through his grasp.If Pasley didn't do his job to the best of his ability, it would be all too easy for someone like his partner to breathe a word of suspected treason and Pasley would be dead. There would be no quiet, pastoral life for him. He was trapped by his job and his

SILAS HAD A CASE of the grumps.First, he hadn't been able to sleep. He'd lain in bed tossing and turning, and not only because he worried about getting ambushed in the middle of the night. He kept thinking about his talk with Ekko. First when she'd agreed that they couldn't continue as they'd begun, then there was everything she'd shared with him and how she'd listened to him.He jammed the power cord into the outlet a little too hard."What are you doing?" Ekko's sleepy voice asked.He took a deep breath and closed his eyes for one fortifying moment then sat back on his heels and glanced at the woman who'd haunted his dreams. She was still wearing the skin-tight pants and long sweatshirt that hit at the top of her thighs."Morning," he said.She crossed the dining room to his side and frowned at the set-up. "Morning.""Zain thought we could use your stream to mislead the DSS."Her brow furrowed and she frowned at him. "How?""Zain's going to route your signal through a place

EKKO PUSHED AWAY FROM the computer. She'd only been on camera for her stream for four hours, but she was drained. Jumping onto the computer without a plan hadn't been her best decision. When had that ever stopped her plunging into the deep end?She'd survived and now her first stream post trip was in the bag. It would get better from here. She could smooth things over with her more gaming centric viewers while updating those who subscribed to hear her opinions and the unfolding events."Here." Silas was there at her side with a mug of steaming coffee."Oh, bless you." She wrapped her hands around the cup and leaned back in her chair."How'd it go?" He pulled his chair around to face her.She swung around to face him. "Did you really set up this whole computer and this chair before I got up?""Yes."Ekko opened and closed her mouth. She hadn't really been awake when he presented her with the whole kit and caboodle, but as the morning went on, it had occurred to her that a lot of

"NO!" SILAS WAILED AS his avatar stumbled then died.Again.Ekko tossed her head back and laughed.Despite her starting a new character she hadn't died more than one or two times when they got in over their head."I thought you said you've played this before." She snickered and wiped at her cheeks."I have. On console." He grumbled and turned from the computer at the sound of creaking wood.There was a loose floorboard in the hall that gave a slight squeak whenever it was stepped on.Chayan shambled into view.The man wore baggy sweatpants and his long coat. His salt and pepper hair stuck every which way and his glasses sat precariously on his nose.Ekko glanced at Chayan then Silas. Her eyes were worried and she bit her lip.Silas didn't bother to revive his character. He pushed away from the table, picked up his empty glass, and stood."Hey, man. How you feeling?" He headed toward the kitchen, doing his best to act casually.Chayan's face rumpled. "Don't talk so loud."S

EKKO'S SKIN FELT TIGHT and even her shirt seemed to chafe.Ever since that kiss earlier she had a one-track mind. Food and rooting Chayan out of bed to eat hadn't distracted her from constantly being aware of Silas. Every bite he ate, each shift of his body drew her.She scrubbed at her face with the washcloth and shivered. The cool water was nice against her heated flesh, but she wanted relief of a different sort.Who had kissed who?After Silas pushing her away at the hotel, she'd promised herself that she wouldn't be the one doing the kissing. At least not the first kiss. But she couldn't say for sure she hadn't been the one to kiss him there in the kitchen.At the very least he'd kissed her back, that was for damn sure.Just thinking about that kiss made her body hot all over again.Damn him.She wasn't going to get an easy night's rest this time, and of course she'd promised her viewers to start early her time. It was going to be a miserable night staring at the ceiling. T

"YOU HEADING TO BED?" She couldn't tell anything from his tone. It was perfectly neutral.She pasted on a smile. "Yeah, I was thinking I would. Early morning and all that."He slowly closed the distance between them. "How early are you going to get up?"She swallowed then tried to pretend she wasn't hyper aware of his nearness. "About half an hour before I need to stream. Just long enough to make myself presentable and eat something."Silas was close enough now she could see him despite the lack of light. He nodded and lifted a hand. She braced herself and held still, both hungry for his touch and dreading it. He slid his fingers along her cheek and tucked some of her hair behind her ear.That simple gesture had a three-fold reaction. She inhaled sharply, her nipples tightened and a tingling sensation spread up through her body. From a scientific standpoint her reaction to him was getting worse. Much worse. At this rate she'd be pacing in her room tonight.Did he have bat-like he

Ekko was going out of her mind.Silas tugged on her hair and once more he hugged her from behind. She let him turn her head until she could look at him. He pressed a gentle kiss to her mouth. As she relaxed against him the hand on her stomach slid down, his fingers dipping into her pants and panties. She sucked in a breath and went up on tip-toe before she could stop herself. His big fingers stroked down over her mound as his body curled around her. His tongue teased her lips as he pressed against her, sliding a finger over her clit and between her folds.He groaned against her mouth and tore his hand away from her. Still holding her hair, he turned her, their lips never parting. The kiss took on a decidedly hungry feel as he moved against her and in her. He took a step, forcing her back, as he half-carried her to the edge of the bed then gently pushed her.She sat down, bouncing a bit with the mattress, and stared up at him. He was breathing hard, his hair sticking up on one side.

IGNEY SHOVED THE FRONT door of the DSS Safe House open. He'd come back as soon as he'd finished tracking down the taxi driver. It helped that Igney had taken out some of his initial rage on the man. Now Igney was in control. Utterly calm despite the white hot rage bubbling up through his body.Where the hell was Pasley?Igney stopped a few feet into the foyer.Pasley had no doubt spoken to the taxi driver first, but he hadn't shared the man's intel. Pasley had kept it to himself. Why? To what purpose or end? Was he trying to wrap up the job on his own? Cut Igney out of it?He'd never pegged Pasley for the ambitious type. It was why, despite the other man's slow ways, Igney liked working with him. He knew that Pasley would never be competition for a raise or a more desirable position.But could that have changed? Where was Pasley?Igney walked through the house with new purpose. There were fewer people around now as some were being transferred back to the home office for an extens
