Chapter Six

Dagan glanced at his watch. Three hours. He’d have to wake Devyn soon, give her a chance to eat something. His dick throbbed in a dull, continuous ache when he thought of her, like he had nonstop for the past three hours.

The vanilla of her shampoo still permeated his nostrils. The weight of her hand still pressed against his stomach when he closed his eyes. Fuck, he was in deep and didn’t ever want to crawl out.

He wanted to be the calm in her storm every day, the one to bring out that sexy-as-fuck smile of hers. Running through surveillance footage of the week before her abrupt departure from the compound had been an exercise in restraint. The urge to charge into her room, spread those sweet long-as-fuck legs of hers wide, and bury himself in her wet heat rode him almost as hard as he needed to ride her.

But there was no way in hell that was going down soon. They’d added Dare to the mix shortly after deciding they needed a better assurance something specific hadn’t gone down to get Devyn gone from Chicago—thus the perusal of every moment of Indy’s life before the week she’d poofed to do her digging.

Raised voices in the makeshift war room drew Dagan from the building specs he and Dare had been studying for the past hour. Contacting him had been a mistake in several ways. He was stubborn, fearless, and determined to help rescue his teammate. He was so much like the men on Dagan’s team, he melded flawlessly. But his ruthless, dog-with-a-bone mission to get Rider back kept Dagan on edge. Failing Dare or Devyn wasn’t an option.

“Sounds like trouble’s brewing next door,” Dare commented. “Are you the Rider of your crew?”

“Come again?”

“You calm and sort their shit before it hits the fan?” Dare tossed a map on the table. “That was Rider. No matter how pissed I got at the risks Indy took, he calmed my ass down.”

“Why do y’all call her Indy? How’d that start?” The nickname was cute and matched her independent spirit, but Dagan doubted that’s where it came from. He knew the street had come up with it, supposedly a nickname because of Indigo Order.

“We came up with Indigo Order because of the legend of the Indigo children—it sort of defined us in a simplistic way. I say we, but it was all Indy from the get-go. All Rider and I did was knock heads together to garner respect with the street and keep her, Cadence, and Mia safe. But the name appealed to the kids on the street, and that’s what mattered to Indy, I mean Devyn.”

Dare shook his head. “She was unstoppable. She wanted to hunt down and help every urchin this side of the Mississippi. I can’t tell you how many scrapes we dragged her out of. She’d go toe-to-toe with the worst dregs of the drug cartels and not even blink, like she knew she’d win the fight even though she couldn’t throw a punch for shit at the time.
