She looked away shyly and the need to take her in his arms flared hot. Jace didn’t know what the hell this was anymore, but the idea of her being in danger made him crazy. He wanted to protect her, and he wanted to possess her. He’d been so close to getting her naked today, but he’d had to be all noble and give her time to be sure. Then this happened, and now she was mad at him.

He would make it up to her. He wasn’t sure how yet, but he would.

“I need to go back over there and talk to the guys for a few minutes.”

She looked at him again, arms folded loosely around her middle, long hair curly and wild. She bit her bottom lip and desire lanced through him.

“I’m not stopping you. You can stay there for all I care.”

“I’m not staying. I’m coming back here until we get your alarm set up.”

She shrugged. “Whatever.”

He wanted to shake her. Or kiss her. He did neither. “Lock up behind me and don’t open the door for anyone but me.”

“It’s broad daylight, Jace. And you’re going across the street. I think I’ll be fine by myself for a few minutes.”

He gave in to the urge to touch her. Ran his fingers down her cheek while she trembled. But at least she didn’t pull away. “Lock the door, Maddy. Stop arguing with me.”

“Fine,” she whispered.

He stepped outside and listened for the locks turning. Then he walked across the street. He should be relieved there was apparently nothing sinister to the attempted break in, but the whole thing left him vaguely uneasy. He’d feel a lot better once they got her set up with an alarm system and placed more cameras on the back of the house. Some lowlife casing the neighborhood, jiggling locks and trying windows in an attempt to get prescription drugs made sense.

But he didn’t like it. And he didn’t trust that’s all it was. The camera dying was too a strange coincidence for him to accept. But if the break-in was tied to Russia and Calypso, why wasn’t there more to it? Calypso was a professional. If she’d killed a camera and opened a window, why didn’t she wait to eliminate the target before disappearing again?

It didn’t make sense. Nothing did. But sometimes the simplest explanation was the correct one. So a drug addict—or someone who wanted to sell to drug addicts—was stealing prescription drugs from easy targets. If Maddy had left the window unlocked, then the thief could have been surprised by something and left before going inside.

Colt and Ty were waiting for him when he walked in, both looking a little surprised and a lot concerned.

“What did Ian say?” he asked.

“You mean after he stopped swearing? Or did you want all the swear words too?”

Jace sucked in a breath. Yeah, well, he hadn’t expected Ian to be happy, had he? He’d call Ian himself just as soon as he got a minute. “I can imagine those for myself.
