Chapter Twenty-Two

“No, I don’t understand! You told your boss everything? How could you betray me like that?”

Seth’s palms came up to placate Dev, but the steadfast glint in his eyes hadn’t wavered since he’d told her he’d spoken with Alex Somebody-Or-Other in Somewhere, Virginia. He’d said sorry a couple times, but sorry didn’t change the fact that someone else now knew where Princess Lianna was—had been—safely hidden. What if that bigmouth talked to another bigmouth, and word got out to the wrong people? Cord would be so, so angry, and he’d blame her and...

“I’m not asking again,” Seth said firmly. “I need Cord’s help, so please, what number can I reach him on?”

Dev paused, then flounced out of bed and tugged into her shorts and shirt, knowing that Seth’s heated gaze tracked every move of her naked body as she slid into her clothes.

“Humph,” she snorted. He’d turned into as bossy a man as Cord. Still… Seth’s reason was sound, just like every last one of Cord’s. These two guys were cut out of the same, know-it-all piece of cloth.

Reluctantly, Dev told Seth how to contact her brother, then crossed her arms over her breasts and waited while he replaced his satphone’s battery and made the call. This ought to be good.

Her bra was nowhere to be found. Just when she needed to be tough, her girly parts jiggled under her too thin t-shirt. The room had gotten chilly and holding her arms as tight as she was only squeezed her nipples together until they were pointing at Seth. Of course, he noticed. His gaze hadn’t strayed for one second from her chest, not even when his voiced rose with a snappy, “Because I don’t leave a man down, that’s why, Shepherd!”

Or a woman in this case, Cassidy Dancer, one of Seth’s agent buddies. Why’d Cord only have men on his team? Not that it mattered, but still, a female tough enough to work with a guy like Seth, huh? Dev wanted to meet this Agent Cassidy Dancer.

Cocking her head, Dev studied the new dimension to the man she was pretty certain she was falling in love with. Seth had changed since he’d spoken with his boss. His back seemed straighter, more erect—or something. He carried himself differently, with confidence and power, as if he knew perfectly well where he was going and what he’d do when he got there. Even the blade of his nose seemed—sharper. Put a uniform on that rugged man’s body, and he’d be Cord all over again, on his way to fight the world—or die trying.

She settled onto the corner of the bed nearest Seth, not going to argue with a good man just doing what he knew how to do. But Cord was still Cord. She could hear him yelling over the line, something about ‘cowards who run at the first sign of trouble’, about being ‘spread too thin across too many fronts.’ As usual, complaining and throwing acronyms until Dev had no idea what he was talking about.
