“I do, too. And for the record, you are not allowed to punish me. I’m a grown ass woman.”
“Who kept secrets from her mate about their children.”
“There were reasons.”
“Reasons don’t count when it’s about the kids.”

Bam stood grumbling on Kaid’s porch, his back to the door, his gaze taking in everything around him as he wondered if he was being watched. Wondered at just what point he’d get his hands on the fucker who was threatening his daughter.A particularly feral growl had just rattled his chest when he realized he was no longer alone. He looked to his left and found Kaid standing beside him, mimicking his stature, looking out at the grounds around them. Bam went back to scanning the scenery.
Kaid leaned a little closer, but kept his eyes out on the property. “What are we looking at?”
Bam looked to his left again. “I don’t know, Kaid, why don’t you tell me.”
Kaid raised his brows in surprise. “Oh, so it’s like that?”
“You could have told me.”
“And have you act like this? Give everything away so Brandt doesn’t have a chance to take this guy out?”
“I’m taking him out.”
“Fine.”
“Fine.”
“Just one problem.”
“And that would be?”
“There may not even be a guy,” Kaid said, flashed a quick sardonic grin and went back inside his house, leaving Bam to follow him or not.
Bam stood in place for only a few seconds before opening the screen door and following Kaid inside. “You don’t know that!”
“No, I don’t. But you don’t know there is a guy. So, we’re about even on this.”
“The fact that there may be, is enough to be concerned!” Bam insisted.
“You’re right. Which is why I put everyone on alert,” Kaid said.
Bam scowled and stalked over to the table, flopping onto the bench seat.
“You know I’m right.”
“It wasn’t enough. You should have told me.”
“Thought about it. But I know how you feel things. We got this. All of us, and there’s no need for you to suffer for days when there may be nothing at all to suffer over but our imaginations.”
“He used to be an agent. He worked with her at the FBI. He was on the team with them on one of their cases, helping them look for a guy. He was the guy. He knows that Emmalyn profiled their target, figured out it was him and she’s the reason he was taken down.”
Kaid was busy straightening up the kitchen after Delilah had cooked a meal. He quickly turned to face Bam. “You’re fucking kidding me.”
“Nope. Not at all.”
“Where is Emmalyn?”
“She and Barron are already fighting. She left, he’s out looking for her.”
