CHAPTER SIX

This assignment was dealing out firsts. Always before, she’d hunt the target down, lift her veil, crook a finger, and once he came near, he was a dead man. Most of them died with a smile on their lips, because draining a man of his life fluid had a pleasurable side if done right. And Cassie liked seeing them experience that. Complete pleasure followed by death. It was payback for what the young viscount had done to her. Yet this Jacob Walsh assignment? Everything about it was a first. She felt renewed. Everywhere. Deliciously so. Fresh. Vibrant. Pure. She knew why.

She’d found her mate.

It was still unbelievable. And she’d been so fixated on getting back to him she hadn’t even noticed he had other humans with him. Lots of other humans. That sort of mistake doomed a mission, even an easy one like this one. All she’d had to do was find the person behind a certain video game. Terminate if necessary. Report. The league hadn’t known Jacob Walsh was her mate, though. Nobody could have foreseen that.

She scanned the area of the cavernous room where they were sequestered. She had four potential targets to deal with – four. At least they were grouped together. And then she ignored them again. All she noted and felt was Jacob! Her mate. She’d actually found him. Just like that.

The thought brought such happiness, she probably radiated it. Cassandra took in every facet of his chiseled frame as she approached. He wore loosely-fitting workout pants, riding low on his hips, showing off a good section of him. And his near-nakedness. She licked her lower lip. Her mate was certainly masculine. Handsome. Well-formed. Muscled. Hard. Impressive. Everything about him seemed fashioned to draw a glance of interest. He knew it, too. Why else was he forever putting so much of it on display?

“Uh…Jake?”

One of the other men spoke. Cassandra glanced back at the group. The fellow who’d spoken was big, much taller and broader than her mate. He was standing and looking at her with his mouth open. She usually garnered that kind of response. That’s why she clung to shadows and hid her face. The stunned expression was mirrored in the three men facing her. There was one fellow sitting on the sofa, his fingers rapidly sliding all about a little drawing pad thing. It resembled the little boards she’d used in learning her letters a century and more ago, but no stylus, chalk, or writing implement was needed. Just fingers.

The world was changing too fast. She should probably keep up.

“I’m out of words, man. Totally. Even if I blink, she’s still there.”

“By-the-way, you’re a crap artist, Walsh. Complete crap. You should give it up. She’s much better looking than her picture.”

“And just how the hell did she get in? I’ve got the entire place on lock-down. Anybody hear an alarm? Anyone?”

The guy on the sofa made an exclamation of disgust. “Will you guys shut up? I’m trying to concentrate here! I think I’m onto something.
