All Chapters of Aegis Group Task Force: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Saturday. Safe House. Kiev, Ukraine.EVAN KNEW THEY SHOULDN'T make promises they couldn't keep. If this were an Aegis Group job, he was certain someone on the operations side of the business could talk to the right person to ensure Felecia was taken care of. But working with the Task Force meant their objectives were different.Hell, Zora hadn't been the least bit interested in helping thwart a techno-terrorist attack. Their team had gone a bit rogue there to stop that threat while also juggling their main objective. Not that they really knew what they were working toward. They were still in the dark there, too.Their best bet was to present Felecia as the key to finding Obran and the missing SEALs. But that wasn't something they could make happen. She either knew what they needed to know, or she didn't.Logan watched Felecia's every bite. They all did, though not openly. Evan didn't think she'd be this calm if that many eyes were on her. This op hinged on what she knew. The

Sunday. Safe House. St. Petersburg, Russia.FELECIA WATCHED JAMIE AND Harper, her gaze bouncing between them like a ping-pong ball as the men traded jabs over breakfast. She didn't understand half of what they were saying, but the general feel was one of good humor. One thing was for sure, this team was comprised of five very good-looking men. Jamie had darker skin, hair and eyes, similar to Felecia's own coloring. Harper was hard to pin down. He was tanned, but it was hard to tell if he was born that way or just liked the sun. His hair was short and dark. Most of the time he wore a knit cap, like now.Kelsey jabbed her in the ribs causing Felecia to flinch sideways. She'd met Kelsey first thing in the morning in the bathroom of all places. Felecia had been washing her hands when the door burst open and Kelsey barged in claiming it was an emergency. Felecia got the feeling that moment defined Kelsey perfectly. She was a lot packed into a small frame. If Felecia had to guess Kels

EVAN WAITED FOR THE door to shut then waited another twenty seconds.Felecia was gone. Her shadow had retreated from under the door. She couldn't listen in on what they said, not that he thought there would be much to learn.He eased down into her vacated seat, the wood still warm from her body.Zora regarded him with one arched brow. Something was off with her. She was tense, irritable. Typically Zora approached a situation with calm, willing to turn it around, examine it from all sides. She wasn't friendly, but she would hear a person out. This time she'd decided on a narrative and had run with it."This isn't the way to handle her," he said."You know how to interrogate people now?""No. That's not my specialty. I've been around her though, and I don't think this is the way to get her to cooperate."Zora spread her hands, leaned back and crossed one leg over the other. "We hold all the cards.""Except we don't know what she knows." Evan leaned forward, perching his e

Sunday. Hotel, St. Petersburg, Russia.OBRAN DRUMMED HIS FINGERS on the desk. His man following the team who'd taken his daughter had reported no sign of movement at the flat in St. Petersburg. Obran would have rather not set foot in that city again.He'd grown up here, in the heart of the city. As a child he'd begged and stole what he needed to get by. His parents had either died or abandoned him. None could say. That city had forged him, made him grow stronger than the average person.The day he took the job of being a runner for a forger was the day that had changed Obran's future. Not at first. He'd spent several years being the errand boy, filling out his pockets with what he could steal. It wasn't until he was a teenager that he'd begun helping out.The rest was history.He'd taken over the business as a young man, learning how to grow with the needs of his clients. And along the way he'd fallen in love.It hadn't been smart, but it wasn't like he had a choice in w

FELECIA WANTED TO CHASE away the dreams and shadows from her mind. She was desperate to feel something good. Something other than death and despair. She barely knew these people, but already she feared for their safety.Anyone near her was in danger so long as her father was out there. He'd killed to have her before, he'd kill again. But right now she didn't want to think about that.She wanted to feel. To be in control of her body and her desires.Evan's tongue stroked into her mouth causing her insides to hum with arousal.God, she wanted more of this with him. Just more.Kelsey had said to be selfish. This, what Felecia felt for Evan, it was completely about her. He made her feel safe, cared for, cherished. And they barely knew each other.The door clicked shut behind Evan, sealing them in here. Alone. Away from the world for a few moments.He took a step, forcing her back, all while his mouth made love to her. She could hardly breathe, her head buzzed and she didn't k
