Chapter Ten

An hour later, Lucas stopped outside the closed dining room door. The hand-binding shirt itched. The lack of a clear plan of action to gain access to Rolf’s phone gnawed at the back of his brain like a piranha with an axe to grind. And the woman next to him stole his breath every time he got a glimpse of her out of his peripheral vision. Clearly, this mission was going pear-shaped, and the more time he spent on Fare Island the worse it was going to get.

Laugher filtered out from underneath the closed dining room door. Ruby tensed beside him.

The news this afternoon meant the time for fun and games was over. Gregers Henriksen had been spotted in Spain for half a second before disappearing again. Elskov couldn’t wait patiently for him to appear again in hopes of trailing him to the exchange. The bastard was too clever for that. Getting the information from Rolf remained the best option, even as volatile as the situation may be. That meant pushing forward no matter how much he wanted to protect the woman beside him from the danger of being caught.

Duty to Elskov came first. Always. Still, he took her soft, small hand into his rough one. “Got your game face on?”

Tension pulled her pasted-on smile tight. “I always do.”

“Not always.” The image of her coming apart in his arms flashed in his mind. “You seem to let it slip off in the shower.”

She froze for half a heartbeat before pivoting to face him and walking her hot-pink-tipped fingers up his chest, leaving a line of sizzling want in her wake. “Are you flirting with me so I’ll relax?”

“Yes.” Maybe then he would, too.

Stretching up on her tiptoes, she brought her lips close to his ear. “You should try it sometime just for the fun of it.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.” Along with a thousand other things he wanted to try with her naked and spread out before him.

“Here.” She brushed her lips across his jaw then reached up and ruffled his hair. “Now, it looks like you’ve been up to something besides brooding and pacing since you got that phone call.”

Is that what he’d been doing? Probably. Everything after that phone call had yanked him away from her and the earth-shaking certainty that came with being sheathed inside her warmth. The Silver Knights had confirmed Jasper’s claims of being a double agent working for the United States government. An agent working as a liaison with the Spanish government had delivered the news about Gregers. So close. They’d been so damn close to getting the bastard, but, once again, he’d slipped right through their grasp. That couldn’t happen again. They had to stop the arms exchange. God knew how many innocent people Gregers would mow down in his quixotic quest to take down the queen and avenge his traitorous father. No matter how tempting Ruby was, Lucas had to keep focused on his only purpose: keeping Elskov safe.

He smoothed his hair back into place.
