All Chapters of Aegis Group Task Force: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Felecia's chuckle turned into a sigh as he kissed across her stomach to her navel. Everything he did to her felt good. Indulgent.Evan hooked his fingers in the waistband of the yoga pants she'd slept in. She lifted her hips, giving silent permission to be undressed. He dragged both pants and panties down her hips, pausing to press more kisses to each hip.Her stomach muscles tightened as his mouth drifted lower.He wasn't going to...Evan stood back, taking her clothes with him and leaving her naked.For a moment they just looked at each other. He was a sight to behold clothed. What would he look like naked?He took a step toward the bed."Take your shirt off?" She didn't know what he intended to do, but she wanted more bare skin from him.He paused and pulled his T-shirt off. Under that was a dark vest made from Kevlar worn over a white undershirt. He winced as he ripped the Velcro straps free. Both vest and undershirt were shed quickly, giving her the first glimpse o

FELECIA LAY IN BED staring at the ceiling. She didn't think she'd get back to sleep and she didn't relish the idea of sitting up with Tucker. He was the one person who hadn't been overtly friendly with her. Part of her wished Evan would come back to her room, but she doubted he would. Besides, he needed some rest and she needed to not get too attached to Evan.He was unexpected. Everything about him wasn't as it should be which only made her like him more. He was a kind man. She suspected that wasn't a quality unique to her, that this was who he was deep down, under all the soldier's veneer. He was simply a good man.And then there was the knowing. She'd felt it, a certainty that he was important to her somehow.She needed to stay far away from him, and yet she knew she couldn't. For good or bad, they were bound together for the moment.Felecia rolled to her side and stared toward the big windows looking out on the city.If Evan stayed near her, he'd get hurt or killed. Those

Tuesday. St. Petersburg, Russia.OBRAN PACED THE HOTEL room, phone pressed to his ear. He'd expected to have news of his daughter's swift return by now. Instead it was radio silence.Where the hell was she?He had many enemies. It came with this line of work. The kind of people he helped make vanish didn't like anyone knowing their secrets regardless of the fact that Obran had helped them in the first place. To his clients, he would always be a loose string they could do nothing about.The phone kept ringing.But to become the target of an American investigation?He'd never seen that coming, and that worried him.If Skilman hadn't insisted on using the Horsemen, Obran would have steered clear of them. He'd worked on few enough Americans that bringing those four men in seemed like a bad idea. Wasn't it obvious to Skilman? Using Americans against Americans?The phone went to voicemail. He hung up and dialed again.Then again, Obran had done plenty of work for Skilman

Tuesday. Train bound for Finland.EVAN WAS GRATEFUL HE'D been paired with Jamie. Any of the other guys would have aggravated the situation and made it worse. But Jamie understood the delicate nature of both protecting a woman and being there for her.Felecia's dark hair hid her face as she bent forward, head in her hands.There was no doubt in Evan's mind that under all of this she was a good person. Worth saving. But she had him wrapped around her finger. At every turn that thread connecting them was wound tighter and tighter until he couldn't bear to even see her flinch or be sad."Hey?" He slid his hand across her lower back to wrap around her waist.When she didn't pull away from him he tugged her closer. She let him pull her to his chest and cradle her there. Then the first sniffle came. She tried to muffle it, but she'd stuffed too much behind that damn of emotions."It's okay," he murmured and stroked her back.She fisted the front of his shirt with one hand and

FROM EVAN'S POSITION HE could see everyone's faces. To the team's credit, they didn't give much away. From the few raised brows and tight lipped frowns he knew this wasn't what they wanted to hear."Felecia?" Logan released his death grip on the back of Kelsey's chair and straightened. "Would you give us a moment to talk?"Evan bit the inside of his mouth. All she'd told them was that there was another way, and they didn't even want to ask her questions.He shoved the annoyance aside. At least they had a better plan than throwing themselves at the brick wall they'd been trying to dismantle."Hey, I'll show you what I was able to scrounge up on our stop." Kelsey stood, putting distance between herself and Logan while talking to Felecia."Thanks," she mumbled and got up.Evan grit his teeth and reminded himself that none of them truly knew Felecia. Just because he'd spent a little more time talking to her and understanding her didn't mean she should be let in to all their discus
