CHAPTER ELEVEN

Devyn whistled. “Girl, you are going to blow his mind.”

Jet ran her hands down her dress. “I know.”

It was deep green, and covered with shimmering beads. It was short, hugged every curve, and dipped into a super-low V in front. Every time she moved, the light made it glitter. Her hair was styled to look windblown. It’d taken her hours to get right. She had smoky-dark eyes, and red lips. The heels on her strappy, black shoes were wicked spikes that did awesome things for her legs.

Tonight, she wasn’t cute. She was hot.

“Here are your earrings.” Devyn held her hand out. “One of them has a receiver embedded in it. Cain will hear everything said in your vicinity, if you get separated.”

Jet slipped the shiny, diamond dangles into her ears. They were nice, but she’d kill for something with a little more color and sparkle.

She turned. Devyn was wearing a black-and-gold cocktail dress. It was sleeveless, showing off her firm arms, and black at the top. Gold glittered on it from the waist down, until the dress was all gold at the short hem.

They were both a stark contrast to the grand, old-world décor of the hotel bedroom. There was a huge bed with a plush, upholstered bedhead, a fireplace, and glittering chandelier overhead. Outside the French doors, the city lights glinted off the lake.

It was easy to forget just how dangerous this mission was. And just how dangerous the man waiting for her in the living area was.

“Tell me he’s not going to break my heart,” Jet said.

Devyn’s smile slipped. “I can’t, Hex. I love him. I love you. I love you together. You make him smile, and the way he watches you…”

“How does he watch me?” Jet whispered.

“With wonder and need, and possession. But he’s…”

“A lone wolf,” Jet said, her chest tight. “Who can’t be part of a pack.”

“He’s never had a family, or love. And I think a part of him is scared and believes it’s not for him.” Devyn’s nose wrinkled. “I know the feeling.”

Yes, Devyn had run from her connection with Killian for a long time.

Jet bit her lip. Cain might break her heart, whether he wanted to or not.

Devyn gripped her arm. “Don’t let him mess it up. He wants it. He deserves it, and you deserve it, too.”

Jet straightened. She needed to be brave. For the man she was falling for, and for herself.

No compromises.

She nodded. “All right, let’s wow our guys, because Killian is going to go bananas over you in that dress.”

“Hawke doesn’t go bananas.” Devyn smiled. “At least, not on the outside.” She put a hand on her hip, her smile sly. “But he’ll show me his appreciation later.”

Jet laughed. “Okay, let’s put this bad guy out of business.”

They headed out of the bedroom. When Jet got her first look at Killian and Cain, she almost went bananas, herself.

God, they were devastating men. They both wore tuxedos that were perfectly tailored to them, lovingly showing off their tall, muscled frames.
