Chapter Six

“Talk to you a sec?” Ben closed the door of the office where Dylan had set up to monitor all the activity of Athena’s Creations.

He gave a nod and looked away from the monitors. For the moment, Athena was alone in the boutique, busy steaming the wrinkles out of a gown.

Ben didn’t immediately speak but stared at him.

“What?” Dylan asked.

“Fuck. I don’t know why I didn’t see it before.”

“See what?”

“You’re into that woman.”

Dylan shook his head. “I’m in charge of her.”

“But you get the same look Sean does when he looks at Elise.”

Dylan shot his brother and commander a flat look. “This one?”

“No, dumb ass. But never mind—I’m here for another reason.”

He sat up straighter, his brother’s observations put on the backburner.

“You were right about there being more gems than the ones in those shoes. Roades tracked down the supplier and was told that twelve in total were sold to the buyer.”

“Roades tracked him down? Since when is he taking on such sensitive work?”

“Our youngest brother’s grown up a lot since joining Knight Ops, bro. He isn’t all about shooting ’em up and reloading as fast as he can.”

“He’s still all about the fucking every pretty girl on his down time that he can, though, right?”

Ben chuckled. “Yeah, that’s the same.”

Dylan blew out a breath. “Whew. I was scared for a minute. Can’t have these guys growing up and settling down too much.”

Ben cocked a brow. “What about you? Experiencing any feelings of settling down?”

“Stick to the intel. Was I right about the gems? That there are microchips embedded in them? How many chips did you find?”

“Sean and Elise took out six. She’s busy decoding them now.”

“So that leaves six in the wind. Do we need to search the shop again?”

“My thought is to have her place another order with the same supplier.”

“Athena won’t be happy about that.”

His brother gazed at him. “Damn, I knew it.”

“Quit trying to read more into this than there is.” Only, Ben’s radar was never wrong, and this was no different. If his brother’s alarms were blaring that Dylan was slowly falling for Athena, then he was spot on.

Although after last night, Dylan thought falling for wasn’t exactly the right word—he’d fallen. Pure and simple, he wanted her. And as soon as he figured out how to get her out of this wreck of a situation, he was going to whisk her away to the family cabin in the bayou, away from obligations and terrorists and spend time learning everything there was to know about her.

“I’ll have her pack up all the jewelry and hand it off to Chaz when he gets back from following that banker’s wife. But I want you to tell Roades and Sean to look for more than the chips embedded in the jewels.”

“Okay?”

“I want them to consider the jewels themselves. Some might be worth more than others—some will be nothing but glass. You may need to bring in an expert on the case and see if any are real. A fat ruby or emerald would be worth enough money to grease the palm of someone influential.
