“That’s for having me shot in the shoulder.That fucking hurt, you asshole.”
She released her hold on the weapon protruding from Marcus, and he dropped straight to the ground, bleeding from his shoulder.She turned back to Bob.
“If you tell anyone anything we’ve said here today…”She shook her head and pierced him again with her gaze.“Well, I’ll have Xander’s friends pay you a visit.And trust me when I say this.You will feel every bit of pain they inflict on you before they decide to have mercy on you and kill you.Do you understand?”
Her growl was ferocious, promising plenty of pain, and Bob jerked backward enough to strike his head on the open filing cabinet behind him, effectively knocking himself out.
Xander pulled her back into his arms and kissed her until her knees felt weak.“That was the single hottest fucking thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
“I would like to go home now.”Her growl was less than subtle.
“We could get naked and claim each other?”
Another kiss—this time she initiated it—but again, they were interrupted.A loud groan echoed throughout the room.
I don’t think this man is in charge of anything.
You’re right.But we’ll have to call a meeting when we get home and see if the others know anything about Nightfall.
She paused for a moment before she met his gaze.Do you really want to claim me?
Yes, sweetheart.I’ve been waiting a lifetime for you.
A sense of rightness settled over her.His words made her heart beat faster and a smile tilted her lips up.Another, louder groan brought her out of her thoughts and she glanced down.“What should we do with them?”
“Fuck it.”He laced their fingers together and led her out of the office.“Time to go home.”
As she looked back, she knew that whoever hired Bob and Marcus wouldn’t give up just because she and Xander had found a link between the mercenaries and those who hired them.Whoever hired these two inept men would have a plan for a long game, but for the life of her, she had no idea how she fit into the overall plan.
