We no sooner pulled the van up in front of the P.O.L.A.R. office when any further talk was interrupted by squealing tires and a wild screech of joy. This elicited a laugh from Gray who was standing beside me on the sidewalk. Grace had pulled her sprinter van up behind us and was up and out of the vehicle rounding it at breakneck speed, the engine still running. She threw herself at Gray, crashing into him with a painful sounding thud that had him groaning.

She hugged him hard, her arms stretched to wrap around him fully, then kissed his cheeks, her eyes brimming with tears. Gray seemed taken aback by the display, but his shoulders straightened and his chest puffed out, pride evident in his haggard expression. It was clear that he adored his sister.

She pulled away from him and threw herself at me next. If Gray had been shocked, I was completely blown away. Her arms looped around my neck pulling me close and planting a kiss on my jaw. “Thank you for bringing him home, Kon.”

Before I could react and keep her right there like I wanted to—with her breasts smashed against my chest and her soft curves pressed against me like they belonged there—she’d pulled away. That quickly. Standing in front of Gray again, she reached up and slapped him. “Do you have any idea how much you scared me? You have some nerve, Gray Lowe. I should kick your ass for this. I thought something had happened to you. I thought you’d gotten caught in someone’s trap again, or shot. I thought you were…”

Gray winced and wrapped her in a hug as her voice started to crack. “I’m sorry, Gracey. I’m sorry I scared you, but I’m here and I’m okay.”

“Are you going to tell her you did get shot?” Alexei chuckled.

Grace pulled back with horror written all over her face. “You were shot?!”

I rested my hand on her shoulder and squeezed gently. “Why don’t we go inside and talk there?”

She shrugged my hand off, and the attitude of gratitude she’d shown me earlier evaporated in thin air. “Your fiancée is inside and she doesn’t really like me, not that I blame her. I think I’ll take my brother home. Thank you for finding him. I’ll get the bill from Serge and settle it.”

I’d told her several times that I’d take care of the bill. It was a clear dismissal and not at all something I was willing to accept. Not yet. First, I had some explaining to do to her—apologizing, actually. “I’ll drive you both home.”

“Prince Konstantin?” A high-pitched, whiny voice pierced my eardrums, and then I caught waft of perfume that smelled like a cross between cabbage and cat piss. My dick shriveled. “It’s about time!” Valentina. The woman clicked her stilettos over to me, flashed a sickly sweet fake smile and ran her hand up my bicep.

Grace’s eyes flashed pain—only for a split second, but I saw it—before her gaze moved back to Gray.
