Chapter Sixteen

By the time the three of them were dry and dressed, the sun had long since sunk beneath the horizon. While the men were gathering the others for a meeting, Raven snuck into the kitchen, then nearly backed out when she found London sipping coffee.

Instead of giving her a knowing look, his gaze was steady and unflinching.

“What?”

Without answering, he strode toward the fridge, returning seconds later with an armful of sandwich supplies and began preparing three sandwiches, hacking off thick slices of ham.

He carefully arranged the food on the plate, then set it before her on the table and waited expectantly. Raven stared blankly at her plate, feeling uncomfortable now she knew bears only shared their food for one reason. She thought about refusing, push him away to give her time to settle into the idea of them, but London took everything in stride. She thought back on their time together, and realized he’d been silently courting her the whole time, she’d just been too blind to see it.

And he wouldn’t stop now, even if she refused his food.

Raven shrugged her shoulder, too hungry to turn down the meal. She picked up the sandwich and took a big bite. That seemed to please London. He turned back and quickly devoured his own sandwich. By the time he took the last bite, she was only half finished.

People began to trickle into the room, each stopping to make their own plate. Jackson and Taggert came in together, Griffin only a step behind. Randolph wandered in next, and she stiffened when she realized that he’d been wandering her house alone. By the time everyone crowded into the room, it was packed.

When Durant and Rylan entered, they each passed by her chair, brushing their fingers against her in silent greeting, and heat blasted through her while blistering erotic memories replayed in her mind.

Seeing the two of them together would forever make her imagination run wild. Jamie entered through the glass door that led out to the back patio, while Luca and the kids snuck in behind him when they thought no one was looking.

Last to enter were Digger, Dina, and Gavin. Dina quickly puttered around the kitchen, setting out a plates of cookies. Everyone in the room winced, but dutifully took one. While the others either tried to swallow or hide the evidence of their cookie, Randolph knocked his on the cupboard with an audible thwack. Not even a crumb dropped. To her surprise, when Dina looked at him, he shoved the whole thing into his mouth and gave her a strained smile.

Apparently even the hardened assassin was afraid of disappointing the itty-bitty fox.

When she swallowed the last bit of her food, the room fell silent.

They were waiting to discover what she learned from her would-be assassin.

“The man who called himself the Master was human, but he was infected with something that was slowly killing him. My guess is a serum was used to change him into a paranormal, which gave him the ability to mentally compel others to obey him.
