CHAPTER 92

“I’ll get it in a minute. Coffee pods are—”“In the pantry, I know.”“Do you notice everything?”“Pretty much. Occupational hazard.”Tessa got that. The guys who worked for Colonel Edgington all had that sharp, watchful quality. Josiah rarely failed in the friendly smile department, but he observed others way more than he spoke. Same with Cutter. Since Trees wrestled with cybersecurity, he was more into machines than humans, but he’d proven that he was always paying attention. And One-Mile? He did everything with an intensity that scared her.As the automatic brewer finished another mug, presumably Zy’s coffee, Hallie finished eating. Another burp later, and Tessa righted her pajamas, settled the baby in her swing, then claimed her tea in the kitchen. Zy stood at the island, drinking black coffee and watching her approach. She wished she knew what he was thinking.“Eggs, bacon, and biscuits sound good?” she asked as she added some sugar substitute to her tea.“Great. Need help?”Tessa

CHAPTER 93

Tessa could picture that. “Did you?”“Yeah, but I’m not sure I would have if other shit hadn’t slowed him down. See, on our last run-through, he was coming off the tower and smoking everyone. I’m hauling ass, trying to catch up, when I see another guy fall from the top of the wall. Trees forgot all about me and the fact we had an unfriendly bet going. He hopped off to help the guy but had to jump to the side at the last minute to avoid landing on him. He broke his ankle.”“Seriously?”“Yep. Once he saw me coming over the wall, he remembered what was at stake and he was pissed.”“What happened then? Did you finish?”“I was a cocky shit. I had every intention of continuing on and beating Trees so I could collect on our bet…which was nude photos of some poor schmuck’s hot girlfriend.”“No!” It was both horrifying and funny.“Oh, yeah. We were eighteen—stupid and horny. And we’d been without sex for weeks.”“Weeks? I was still a virgin when I turned eighteen.”He shot her a sidelong glare

CHAPTER 94

Cash stood on the front stoop, hands shoved in his pockets, huddled against the chilly night. His blond beard looked scruffy and his blue eyes bloodshot. He wore scuffed cowboy boots, faded jeans, and a ratty T-shirt with a drawing of a pig standing at a barbecue that said I like my pork pulled and my meat rubbed.Classy guy.“Listen, buddy. She doesn’t want you here. So take your drunk ass and—”“Who the fuck are you?” Cash lurched drunkenly, looking him up and down. “Is she banging you already?”Zy itched to punch him. “I’m here to protect her. Watch your fucking mouth.”“You don’t tell me what to do!”“Do you want to see Tessa again?”“Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here.”“Do you want to meet your daughter?”Cash looked less enthusiastic about that. “Well, yeah.”Zy bit back his opinion that the asshole didn’t deserve either of them.“Then you’ve got to start playing by the rules. You scared Tessa the other day, and she got a restraining order. Because she’s afraid of you. So

CHAPTER 95

“Fuck the contract. Tessa has been through enough. She doesn’t need you going through her, too.”Jesus, he didn’t know which tactic to take. Try to pretend he was protecting her like a big brother? Or admit he was developing feelings and wanted her as a lover?The colonel pointed a finger in his face. “Whatever you’re cooking up in that scheming head of yours, don’t bother. I saw the way she looked at you, like a savior who made her breathless. And you…” He gave a dirty laugh. “When you looked at her, I saw a bad hunger in your eyes. So don’t even try to bullshit me.”Zy shut his mouth and nodded.“You’ve worked for me for less than three weeks, and the team survived without you just fine in the past. So if you don’t keep your tongue in your mouth and your dick in your pants, you’ll find yourself out. Are we clear?”“Crystal. Like I said, nothing has happened and nothing will.”“If you both want to stay employed, keep it that way.”Time showed its perverse nature that weekend. The mor

CHAPTER 96

She’d been busy since her return because Aspen had left everything a mess. Zy had been on a couple of short ops, thankfully without incident or injury. But they hadn’t talked. And it felt weird. Even knowing he was in the building, nearby, and breathing the same air made her body hum.God, she had it bad and she needed to let go.Tessa pasted on a smile. “Do you know what this is about?”He shook his head. “No clue. Cash given you any problems lately?”“None. He’s been blessedly quiet. Maybe getting arrested made him think.”“Not if the charges didn’t stick,” Zy shot back.“True, but for now no noise is good. How’s the new place?” She’d avoided asking him, mostly because she hated to dwell on just how empty her duplex was without him. Everywhere she looked, she remembered Zy. She especially couldn’t be anywhere near her sofa and not see him stretched out, big and shirtless and watching her.“Good,” he said. Then he flashed her a wry smile. “Actually, it’s a shithole. It’s too close to

CHAPTER 97

He leaned closer. Her breathing quickened. Every cell in her body seemed aware of him, as if she was water and he was a divining rod.“I’m okay with that…for now,” Walker finally said.Tessa barely heard over her beating heart.“What’s with him?” Josiah said, gesturing to Joaquin. “He hasn’t said a word.”Finally, the big Hispanic hunk with narrowed hazel eyes and attitude to spare raised a brow. “You better hope you don’t hear from me. If you do, that’s not a good thing.”Hunter cleared his throat. “Any other questions?”“Yeah. How soon will we see these contracts?” Zy looked ready to come across the table for an answer.The brothers shared another considering glance, then Logan spoke up. “We’ll shoot for the next eight weeks. That work?”Zy shot her a quick glance before he sat back in his chair with a smile. “The sooner the better.”June 14Tessa sat on the floor with Hallie on Saturday morning, smiling as she practiced her new skills.When her daughter rolled from her back to her

CHAPTER 98

The guys asked a few more questions. Josiah’s “date,” Ashley, seemed impatient to get on with it since she cocked her weapon, tucked it into a thigh holster, then all but dragged him to the door. With a shake of their heads, Cutter and Rebecca followed the pair.Zy turned to her, and he didn’t look pleased. Then he glared back at Hunter. “If something happens to Tessa, there won’t be a hole deep enough for you to bury yourself in.”She gaped. Was he crazy, threatening their new boss? “Zy—”“If something happens to her, it will be on you,” Hunter snarled back. “I won’t fucking be there. Now go do your job.”Beside her, Zy looked ready for a fight. Since he needed this job, too, she grabbed him and hauled him toward the door. “I’m fine. The others are leaving us behind. Let’s go.”He cursed as he led her out of the suite and slammed the door behind them. “This is bullshit. I don’t want this for you.”“I’m a little scared, but we’ve got this.” She hoped.“Stay close to me.”She nodded. I

CHAPTER 99

“If they’d hoped at one time that you and Kendra might get together—”He snorted. “That was never going to happen.”“But you knew her.”“I did.”Tessa tried not to be hurt that he wasn’t forthcoming. After all, they weren’t a couple; his past was none of her business. But she didn’t like him being tight-lipped. Was he ashamed of something? Or did he not trust her? “Look, it’s none of my business, but—”“My father was fucking Kendra, okay? The summer after I turned sixteen, I caught them together. In bed.”“Oh, my god.” She gaped. “But Kendra is your age…”“A year younger, actually.”His father had been having sex with his friend’s fifteen-year-old daughter? “What did you do?”“If you’re asking me whether I told anyone, I didn’t. No one would have believed me. When I asked Kendra what the hell was going on, she told me she’d wanted better sex than her bumbling boyfriend could give her and that my dad was very accommodating.”Tessa felt sick to her stomach for him. “You must have been d

CHAPTER 100

“All right.” Tessa itched to open it now to see if she and Zy had any hope, but she waited for Logan to finish speaking.Zy wasn’t nearly as patient. He ripped into the envelope and flipped, quickly scanning page after page. Then he stopped and glared at their trio of bosses. “I have a problem.”Logan raised a dark brow. “Let us finish our explanation. Then let’s see if you want to talk.”Hunter stepped in. “There are two clauses we won’t bend on. The first is that if you invoke the separation clause to leave EM Security before the term of the contract expires, you cannot work for a US-based competitor for six months. Since we’re investing time and money into your training, we’re firm on that.”“Fine. I have no issue with that. But—”“Then you’re objecting to clause eight?” Hunter stepped in. “The one that prohibits intimate relationships between employees? It stands, Garrett. Hookups and romances in the office aren’t allowed. They’re too distracting and—”“It’s fucking ridiculous. I’

CHAPTER 101

“I don’t know.” He leaned forward, bracing his elbows on his knees. “Keeping it real, man? Every time I come across a hot woman willing to give me an hour of her ‘quality’ time, I’m just…not into it. I don’t know why.”“I do. Because she’s not Tessa.”As much as Zy hated to admit it, Trees was right. “I’m a stupid schmuck.”“You’re a stupid schmuck in love.”Zy didn’t want to own up to that, mostly because every person he’d ever loved, except Trees, had followed their own self-interests and ultimately stabbed him in the back. Why had he thought Tessa would be any different?“Maybe I’m just in a funk. Or I’ve gotten picky. Madison is cute. Nice. But hardly centerfold material.” He downed the last of his beer and slammed it on the table. “You should go out with her.”“Don’t be a jackass.”“I’m serious. You might really like her.”He scoffed. “I’m not so hard up that I want your sloppy seconds.”“Dude, it was once. And the truth is, I didn’t treat her great afterward. I didn’t call. I di
