It has been days since Argent dropped us off at our rental home. The first couple of nights were a little tense because we kept expecting someone to break down our doors. We even slept in the same bed together. However, as the days passed, we both began to loosen up. I still jump when I think I spot a woman who looks like the woman who took us in the distance. But I quickly talk myself down and recover. I don’t think I will ever forget that woman for as long as I live. Argent believes that she might have fled the country after the raid or even went underground because she couldn’t risk being caught. It also helps that Mateo has passed by to hang out with us. Lyria was grateful.
The girl loves to cook and bake, especially when she’s stressed out, which means Mateo would leave the house fu

Argent “We still haven’t been able to locate Sebastian. It’s like he disappeared off the face of the earth. We’ve alerted every airport, but none have reported seeing someone that matches his description. Right now, we’re working on retrieving the true flight manifest because the one they used was false.” Mateo hands me a file. “They were good at hiding their evidence. They didn’t even log Sebastian’s flight. However, they didn’t account for other airports logging flights that have passed through. It’s all a matter of finding which one.” I wipe my palm across my jaw and lean back in my chair with an exhausted sigh. “Alright. Is that all?”&

Penelope I woke up alone in bed this morning. Argent was my first, and he left me as if last night didn’t mean anything to him. Okay, so maybe I seduced him, but he didn’t push me away. Lying back on the bed, I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I didn’t know that sex could be so all-consuming. The way Argent’s body molded to mine and the feel of him bringing me to pleasure was like nothing I’ve ever felt before. However, all I feel now is a hollowness inside my heart. Since we met, I’ve felt this connection to Argent, and an urgent need has overwhelmed me. He’s so aloof and broody that even now, I don’t know if he wants me or if I was just a convenient lay. Instead of feeling sexy, I feel unsure and used.&nb

Argent I reread Penelope’s texts, my heart aching as I sort through her replies. Her sadness resonates over every word. She didn’t deserve to be treated the way I treated her. She should have been with someone who would hold her in the morning and tell her how amazing she was. I should have stayed. I wanted to stay. I guess I am the coward she labeled me. She doesn’t know it, but I’m the one who bought her painting. I emailed the artist and paid him an extraordinary amount of money for it. I didn’t want him to know who I was, so I had a private company take care of the process. The painting is now hanging in my weapon’s room where no one but I can see it. Right now, I’m

Penelope OMG…I just had phone sex with Argent. Of all the things I expected after our sad text session hours ago, I didn’t expect him to call me and confess how he felt. A happy smile spreads across my lips at the thought of what just occurred. I can’t believe that I just masturbated while on the phone with Argent. I won’t pretend that it didn’t feel good because that would be a lie, and he loved it. I could tell by his tortured groans. Rising from the bed, I slip on my pajamas and make my way to the living room. Apollo pads behind me, his nails clicking across the linoleum floor. Lyria is already up and making breakfast for both of us. “Hey, you’re up early.” Her eyebrows

Argent “Extend your fist this way to avoid hurting yourself.” I extend my fist to show Penelope what I want her to do. After a long bout of hot, sweaty sex, I pulled her from my bed and made her change into a sports bra and yoga shorts so that I could teach her how to fight and protect herself in case I need her to. I know I’m teaching her how to fight, but all Penelope can do is gape at me. She looks like every man’s wet dream in her little shorts and top. I have to stifle a groan every time she moves. She’s sleek and curved like a cat. I have to stop talking when she licks her lips and slides her hands down my chest and abs. “Are you listening to me?” I ask.&nb

Penelope He didn’t say it back. I mean, I didn’t expect him to, and I was so exhausted that I blurted it out without a thought. However, I can’t pretend that I didn’t mean what I said. I’m in love with him. Of course, I should have chosen a better venue to say it. Or even waited a while longer, but I can’t deny that I felt it. However, in the light of day, all I feel is regret. And it’s only worse because he’s not lying next to me this morning. Over the past several weeks, he has made sure to wake up next to me or wake me up before he goes, but he didn’t this time. Heart in my throat, I swallow down my trepidation, rise from the bed, and reach for my dress. I’m not sure that I

Argent I blow out a breath and watch as Penelope walks out the door. Hearing her tell me that she loves me is a painful yet exhilarating feeling. However, I meant what I said to her. I need time. She’s everything to me, but I’m not sure that I’m ready to move beyond where we are. I can’t think about this anymore. There are far too many things running through my mind. One of them is what I should do about Sebastian. So many questions had arisen from my search when I had no doubts before. I know, Sebastian. He and I trained together. We were closer than brothers. It makes no sense to me how he would have been so sloppy in handling his disappearance. Even the way he handled getting rid of the evidence of his

Penelope Being in love is scary. Especially when you realize that you’re alone in love. It has been days since my encounter in Argent’s house. He texted me the other day to inform me he would be out of town, but that was the only communication I received. It’s killing me that he hasn’t told me anything. I don’t know if we’re over or we’re taking a break. It’s maddening. Not wanting to waste a beautiful day indoors, I decided to go to the local bazaar. Lyria and I discovered the bazaar a couple of months ago. Like in the states, local merchants meet in the town square to sell their wares. The bazaar is alive with street performers, restaurants, and small kiosks that showcase various merchandise. Lyria and I loved it.&n

Argent It has been six months since everything happened. Six months were I buried a great friend and colleague, killed a great foe, and found the love of my life. Five months ago, Sebastian’s name was cleared, and the Confradia declared him the new director of the Mexico branch. I recruited two new men in the process. Men who I knew I could trust. One of the men, Raven, was a former Army Ranger, and Drax was part of the Israeli Army. Both men were vetted personally by me and seem to be adjusting well to living in Brazil. Voodoo, as predicted, accepted Logan’s offer to transfer to Los Angeles. Sebastian was more than happy to let him
The Assassin's Destiny VII Chapter 24: Stay or Go
Penelope Argent is worried about me. Over the past week, I’ve woken up with nightmares of what happened, and Argent has been there to hold me, but I can feel his apprehension. It’s been a tense few days with Rogue’s loss and the mess Mateo left behind. Another thing that has me concerned is that Sebastian has been acting cagy lately. Whenever I approach him, he finds any excuse he can to leave the room. I don’t know what’s going on, but now that my head is clear of grief, I plan to get to the bottom of whatever is going on. T

Argent “How is she?” Sebastian asks as he gazes down into Penelope’s slumbering form. After we shot the woman, Penelope seemed to have gone into shock. She just stood there without blinking. Worried, I lifted her in my arms and took her home. She has been asleep for a while, which concerned me at first. It was only when she woke up for a second on the drive over and told me that she was fine but just tired that I was able to breathe again. Lyria cried on the way and joined her in sleep. Her girlfriend, Violet, showed up earlier and began to take care of her. I run my gaze across Penelope’s fragile form with apprehension. Her skin is paler than usual, and her lips are shut tight. She’s lying on the bed in a fetal position, and her hair is strewn around the pil
The Assassin's Destiny VII Chapter 22: Keep a level head
Penelope My heart thunders in my chest as I approach my front door, and my feet feel heavy as if I’m wading through the sand. Throat tight, I carefully open the door and step inside of the dimly lit room. I blink my eyes, trying to adjust to the low light, and take a couple of deep breaths. When I walk in, the first thing that I notice is that my couch is overturned, and my television is lying face-up on the floor. “Close the door behind you.” The woman’s husky voice permeates the stillness of the room. Goosebumps spread down my back as she makes her presence known from the kitchen doorway. Turning around, I carefully close the door. I wince at the sound of the door’s lock clicking in place. Lips tight, I face the woman. Nothing has changed about her appearance. Her skin is still weat
The Assassin's Destiny VII Chapter 21: Complex feelings
Argent “Getting in was easier than I expected it to be. Almost too easy.” I tell Nicholas. It would be an understatement to say that our plan to enter Irving’s office was executed well. While we follow the plan, Logan is waiting in a nearby location in case something occurs. He gave us half an hour with the promise that he’d be ready to fight if we didn’t show up within that time frame. I know Logan well enough to know that he means what he says. Either way, the plan seemed to have been going smoother than we expected. Nicholas arrived before me and stationed himself in Irving’s office before I asked to see Irving. When the men questioned me, I told them that Irving called to meet with him but never showed up. &nb
The Assassin's Destiny VII Chapter 20: From death’s door
Penelope I didn’t think it was possible to miss someone when they’ve only been gone for hours, but that’s how I feel. I miss Argent. It might be that he finally confessed his love, but I feel like somehow our bond has solidified. I miss waking up next to him this morning. I miss peering down at his slumbering form as I place a gentle kiss on his jaw. The way his lashes slowly flutter open, giving me a view of his magnificent eyes. Or the way his lips arch into a sleepy smile as his hand rises to caress tendrils of my hair. It’s almost a physical ache that threatens to drown me. I never thought that I’d fall in love with someone so deeply. I can’t complain, though, because Argent seems to be as enthralled by our newfound love as I am. He almost seemed reluctant to leave me.
The Assassin's Destiny VII Chapter 19: Old Wounds
ArgentGrim-faced, everyone steps into my office and takes a seat. Several of the men give Voodoo a wide berth as soon as he sits down. I can see why Sebastian and Phoenix say that the man is odd. There’s just something that screams warning when I look at him. He’s almost stiff and mechanical in his movements. His gaze examines the room until he found a spot that he was comfortable with, and his face remains blank.Logan and I stand in front of the desk and face the men.“I know you’re wondering why you’re here, Voodoo, but please bear with us,” Logan says.Voodoo nods.I lean on the desk and clasp my hands together as I consider how to begin. “First of all, we want to know how familiar you are with Irving?”Voodoo’s head snaps in my direction. “I don’t understand your question.” He mutters in a careful tone. I can see that I put him on alert, and that’s not what I

Penelope “I love the knitted dress you bought. The color is perfect on you.” I tell Lyria as she rests her shopping bags on the couch. Violet slumps beside me on the couch and puffs out a couple of breaths.After her class ended, she and Violet came over. “Yeah, and the sandals are gorgeous,” Violet says as she sorts through the sushi boxes they picked up on the way home. I like hanging out with my friends, yet, I can’t help the aching pit of anxiety that opens up in my gut when I think about what’s going on with Argent. I didn’t like seeing the cut and scrapes that he came home with last night, but it’s something that I have to accept if I want to be with him. The men left h
The Assassin's Destiny VII Chapter 17: Targets to eliminate
Argent I reach for my phone, and I dial Mateo’s number. Logan signals for me to proceed as soon as he scrambles my location. From Mateo’s point of view, my location will show that I am in L.A. instead of Manaus. “Argent?” Mateo answers quickly. Thankfully, I never confided with Mateo about our mission to assassinate William Kazik. I’m sure that he would have told Irving and jeopardized the whole mission if he had known. The New York branch, Logan and I, agreed to keep our plan as private as possible. The only reason Jaxon’s men are involved is that they all have a personal grievance against Kazik. “Mateo, I just received a call from a local
