Oh yes, she enjoyed his company very much.Heat filled her cheeks as she thought about the warmth of his body pressed against hers. The feeling that had run through every ounce of her being when he groaned her name. The way his body pressed firmly against hers when they were done as though they were two pieces to the same puzzle that had finally found their proper place. The tip of her finger quickly pushed down on the phone icon next to his name at the top of her screen, and she pulled her phone up to her ear. Her teeth pressed down further onto her lip, and she felt anxious as she heard it ring. It felt like an eternity before the woman’s automated voice filled her ear. “The person you are trying to reach is currently unavailable. Please leave a message at the tone.”

Forty-One

Matthew pressed his lips together as he stared down at the phone. He didn’t like that he had missed calls from Juliet, and he felt horrible knowing she was probably stressed and worried out of her mind, either about him or about them as a couple. He wanted to put her at ease and tell her again that he would be coming home to her but now wasn’t the time. It was too big of a risk to be in contact with her when he was on assignment. He shouldn’t have even brought his phone with him, but with how they left things, he couldn’t find it in him to leave behind his only form of communication with her. His boss had already been breathing down his throat and had ripped into him about how stupid he had been to risk their cover for a woman. In fact, he had his ass handed to him during training as his team took their frustration out on him.Juliet was worth every ass-beating, punishment, and joke coming his way. N

“You’re not retired yet, old man.” Hawk teased into the earpiece, and Matthew narrowed his eyes. “Perimeter clear. Proceed with caution.” Matthew didn’t bother to nod. Instead, he pushed everything nonessential into a box in his mind and locked it up. This mission was too important to fuck up, and he was determined to show his team they could still trust him. Pulling the door open, he led his team into the compound, their footsteps almost non-existent as they moved forward. Matthew enjoyed being the point man, leading his team, and getting eyes on everything immediately. He didn’t like surprises and was good at his job. He looked out for his team and would take a bullet for them any day if it came down to it, which he hoped it never would. They didn’t bother going into any of the closed doors. Their inside man had told them exactly where to go. They just had to get there

Forty-Three

Juliet woke with a sick feeling in her chest. There was a deep dread that made her chose to drive to work instead of walking, and to get there way earlier than she needed to be. That dread only intensified when she looked through the glass window of the storefront and noticed a familiar man sitting behind his driver’s seat.Sophia was in the back baking, and Juliet was doing a detailed cleaning of the dining room to kill time while waiting for the shop to open, but her bad mood got even worse when she met his stare. She opened her mouth to speak, to call out to Sophia, just as Sophia stepped forward into the dining room. “It looks great in here!” She exclaimed, and Juliet forced a smile with her lips still pressed together with unease.

Extended it was. For the next two weeks, Juliet was aware of the eyes that bore into the back of her head everywhere she went.Her new friend was a pesky fly on the wall, always around but never wanted. Whenever she thought she was free of the insect, there he was again.Not once had he approached her, though, and for that, she was thankful. Much to her dismay, the glares she sent his way did not deter him but seemed to amuse him instead.The worst part was when she would see him outside of work.At first, she chalked it up to their constant proximity due to the size of their small town, but after she ran into him four separate times on the same day while running errands, she was on the verge of going to the police to report him.The problem was that he never spoke to or threatened her and did nothing to warrant an official police report from being filed. She had no proof that he had been following her to support her claim.The thought had c

Forty-Five

Juliet scanned the street once more before she began to cross. There was a generous amount of discomfort in her as he placed his hand on the small of her back and closed their distance again. Matthew’s words swam around her head from the first time he left her for work and she pulled away.“Do me a favor, though, Red. Don’t let anyone else touch you while I’m gone.”She didn’t want the strange man to have his hands on her, even if it was just her back. Even though she hadn’t heard from Matthew since he was sent away, she knew in her heart that he was still her Matthew, and he wouldn’t want another man‘s hands on her either.She watched out of the corner of her eye as the man pulled out his cell phone before sending off a quick text. The air was tense as she tried to put space between them. He wasn’t even the slightest bit affected by her actions to move away, and it bothered her that he would just close the gap again each time she did so.He

Forty-Six

Juliet woke to her back against a familiar chest. The green crocheted blanket over her lap also tickled her memory, but her vision was blurry, and the world around her didn’t feel quite right. Everything felt like it had a slight tilt to it, and if she stood, she knew she would fall over. “Good morning,” Matthew’s deep voice in her ear made her freeze, and happiness filled her chest as large, familiar arms wrapped around her from behind. “You’re home!” She whispered and felt his chest rumble against her back. “What happened?” Her eyes tried to adjust, but the fuzziness was concentrated in certain spots, and it moved to a new one each time her eyes closed and reopened. She could see they were back at his home, sitting in his living room. The flat screen television was mounted on the wall in front of them but wasn’t on, nor were he lights she realized as she looked around.

Forty-Seven

The world around her spun as Juliet tried unsuccessfully to pry her eyes open. Her arms were forced behind her back, and she could feel the zip tie as it bit into the soft flesh of her wrists. Between the swelling and the dried blood crusted to her right eye, it was impossible to separate the lids, but she blinked the left slowly as she regained her equilibrium.Additional ties held her ankles to the legs of the chair tightly, and she was aware of the painful pinpricks in her feet due to the lack of circulation. Her chin was tucked to her chest as her head hung forward, and she kept her movements minimal as she tried to look around subtly to avoid alerting anyone else in the room of her consciousness. It was an impossible task as the panic set in, and her lungs desperately tried to pull in air.

Forty-Eight

His secrets, what little Juliet knew, were safe with her. Even if they had broken up, she would never betray Matthew and risk his life.The guilt alone would kill her if these men didn’t.“You’re feisty, but if you do that again, I’ll pull each one of your pearly whites out.” The back of his hand collided with her cheek, and she let out a loud groan of pain upon impact as her head was thrown to the side. “Don’t you worry, doll. That won’t make you any less profitable. Trust me.” The implication of her future employment with them was clear, and she shivered in disgust. There was a fat chance in hell she would work for them without a fight. Juliet pulled her head back to its previous position to hold her glare at the man. She watched as he ran

Forty-Nine

Matthew sat in the desk chair, his hands together and his fingers to his lips as he went through every second of the mission in his head repeatedly. It had been too easy. Everything about it reminded him of the simulations he had to undergo in training. He was anxious and on edge at the idea of it being a setup, but he couldn’t understand why they would give the girls up so easily, especially such a high-value target. The sound of someone approaching his room made him stand, and Matthew pulled his gun out, aiming it at the individual through the cheap, hollow door. From the footsteps, gait, and the laptop that came through the door before the man as it was pushed open, Matthew knew who it was and kept his finger off the trigger. Matthew was furious as Hawk stormed into his motel room. The kid knew better and the gun Matthew had instinctively pulled on him should have knocked some sense into Hawk, but it didn’t faze h
