Chapter Six

Selene perched on Luca’s knee as they both watched Oscar order them fake passports. They’d doctored the photos to give Selene a blonde bob haircut and Luca a blue Mohawk. They were going to have to actually do that to their hair so they’d match their new passport photos, before they could go on the run.

Selene thought about her parents, her sister, her aunties, uncles...all the people she’d have to leave behind.

She leaned her head against Luca’s, and he wrapped his arm around her waist.

They were worth it, her men, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t mourn the people she’d leave behind.

At least she’d been able to say goodbye to Roman.

Roman’s comment was nagging at her like a fly buzzing too near her ear that she couldn’t swat away.

“Shit, even if I get him all my bitcoin, he says it will take two days. We wouldn’t get these until after you two were already supposed to be in Boston.” Oscar scrubbed his hands over the top of his head. “Fuck it, we’ll make it work. I’ll tell him to get started, and then have them shipped to wherever we end up. We’ll have to find someplace—near an international airport—”

“But if we wait, won’t they be looking for us, even with that, uh, hair?” Luca’s free hand came up to touch his temple.

“We arrive late, get right on the plane. They won’t have time to capture us,” Oscar replied, sounding more confident than she felt about that plan.

Luca hesitated, and then quietly said, “If they have us placed on a watch list, no matter how late we arrive, with facial recognition—”

Oscar’s jaw clenched and Luca fell silent.

“If you two want to go to Boston, if you don’t want to be with me—” Oscar didn’t bother to hide the heartbreak in his words.

“Shut up. I’m thinking. Have your dramatic moment later.” Selene kicked Oscar’s thigh lightly with her heel.

“Ouch, damn it, Selene. I was trying to be all open and emotional...”

She hopped off of Luca’s lap and started to pace. They were in Oscar’s house, in his “office,” all of them clustered together in front of his main computer command center. There wasn’t a huge amount of room, and the guys—her guys—had to roll their chairs back and forth out of her way as she moved.

“My cousin was trying to tell me something.”

“He was trying to tell you to be fucking obedient to the Grand Master,” Oscar snapped.

“No, it wasn’t just that. He suggested you come with us to Boston.” She tapped Oscar on his head as she went past. He responded by smacking her ass with an irritated grunt, but she could feel that some of his panic was fading.

“Perhaps he was told to say that, to make it easier for the Grand Master to control you. They must know about...about us.” Luca smiled, and there was something in the expression that told her there were times he still wasn’t completely sure this thing between the three of them was real.
