CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

Jane snuggled against Luc’s chest as she watched Ryder and Tercero interrogate the man hired to abduct her. His name was Benjamin Ares, and Tercero had rescued his sister three months ago from a human trafficking ring like the one she’d seen before.

Benjamin had been caught trying to free his sister and was about to watch her get raped—they planned on killing him only after they’d each had a turn with her.

Tercero had shown up by then, and her sexy ninja did what he did so well.

“Are you sure you wish to watch?” Luc murmured while his fingers worked through the tangles in her windblown hair.

“I’m sure.” She locked eyes with her would-be captor before Ryder slapped him.

“Don’t fucking look at her,” her bad boy growled.

“Sorry.” Benjamin lowered his eyes, but Jane could feel the fire burning in him. The man was pissed and wanted to fight back, but he knew he would die if he fucked up too many times.

Luc shifted and, after placing a kiss on her head, laid her down on the sofa in his office. “Why don’t you watch the game?”

Jane poked her tongue out. She guessed he would take charge, and he wanted her distracted. “I wanna hear what he has to say.”

“It’s more important you rest, Jane.” He touched her stomach and gave her a long look. “You missed lunch. You know the doctors want you to eat better.”

It was almost four, and while she was hungry, she wasn’t sure she could handle eating if things got crazy. “I’ll eat soon.” When he gave her an annoyed look, she pulled out her phone and opened the live stream to the game.

He left the office and returned with a blueberry muffin with glaze and coarse sugar on top. “Our favorite receptionist ordered these for me today.” He smirked at her scowl and held it out with a bottle of cranberry grape juice.

“Did you have one?” she asked, inspecting it. Hela often brought homemade treats for Luc, and every time he declined, usually with some remark that he only ate items prepared by his girlfriend or those with demonstrated culinary skills. She loved when he was such a proper asshole.

“I did,” he said with that damn smirk still in place. “It came from the bakery you like. I extended thanks on your behalf.”

Jane snorted but took a bite. Damn, it was like blueberry heaven.

“Manners, Jane,” he said, leaning down and kissing the corner of her mouth. Before he stood, his gaze fell to a sugary crumb on her lip, and his tongue flicked out to take it into his mouth. “Such a messy eater.”

Her face warmed. “Sorry.”

“Don’t be.” Chilled lips pressed firmly against hers.

It left her breathless, and she felt giddy at the praise, but she still complained. “There’s only ten minutes left.”

“Ten minutes is a lifetime,” he said, straightening and tugging his sleeves. “If our interrogation becomes unpleasant for you, say so.”

Violent. Bloody. Deadly.

Jane shifted her eyes from Luc to Tercero. He was looking at her with an unreadable expression.
