Chapter Thirteen

She wasn’t going to cry. She’d done enough of that. It was time to face the facts. She’d gotten them in this mess and working with Ten was the only way to get them out of it. She stared out of her balcony at the massive moon overhead. It didn’t look so big when she was in the city, or maybe she just never looked up long enough to really see it.

Three hours had gone by and she still couldn’t get the sight of that poor woman kneeling on the floor out of her head. Jesse had pulled her away before the shot that ended the woman’s life, but she could imagine it. She could certainly imagine feeling utterly helpless and alone in the world. It made her sick. Al’s whole family was dead. Al, with his shy smile and big eyes hidden behind thick glasses. He’d been a little chunky and the dude could have dressed better, but the time they’d actually met he’d been funny and sweet. He’d run all over Venice with her. It had been weird because she hadn’t pictured him that way, but he’d been one of the first real friends she’d made during those years on the run.

The sound of boots moving across the patio below brought her out of her reverie. Case Taggart had taken Boomer’s place manning the outer perimeter. She was sure if she opened her bedroom door that Theo would be pacing the halls.

Where was Simon? Was he still sitting downstairs talking to his aunt? Ava had finally caught a little of the evening news, and the very elegant lady had proven she knew a whole bunch of curse words.

Tag the Third looked up and nodded before continuing his sweep.

So much trouble over one little package, but then that might be the story of her life.

A restlessness took over and she couldn’t stay cooped up a second more. She needed to see Simon. She needed to come clean with him and get him the hell out of this op. The Collective would use him against her and she couldn’t allow that to happen. She would just walk right up to him and tell him what she was going to do. She was never going to be his girlfriend or sub or whatever he wanted to call it. She was going to be Ten’s broker.

She crossed over to the door after pulling a robe over the gown Ava Malone had dropped off at her room. Deke had forgotten about PJs and apparently Simon’s aunt was a deep believer in wearing elegant things to bed. It was a far more feminine nightgown than she would ever wear, but it was all she had at this point. White and silky, it covered everything. It also had a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit, but luckily it came with a long-sleeved robe that when knotted properly formed a sort of elegant silk muumuu. At least that’s what she told herself.

She opened the door, perfectly ready to walk out and face down Simon.
