The car he’d requested waited on a side street

two blocks away, the keys resting on the front driver’s

side tire. Kyle tossed them to Sebastian. “Drive.”

“Where to?”

“Out of Rome. Somewhere quiet. Isolated.”

Sebastian froze, clearly uneasy. “Why?”

Tell him to shut up and get in the goddamned

car. Instead he took a step closer, reaching for

Sebastian’s hand and squeezing it. “I told you not to

worry about that.” Kyle remembered the heat of

Sebastian’s body beneath his, his throaty cries as Kyle

moved inside him, his fierce kisses…

He dropped Sebastian’s hand and strode around

the car. For the last time, focus. “Come on.”

As Sebastian navigated traffic, Kyle scanned the

document from Arrigo’s safe, which was a single page.

“Sucks that it wasn’t in there. The Chimera, I

mean,” Sebastian said. He seemed uneasy, likely

because Kyle had been hot and cold with him al day.

Hel, since they’d met.

“I didn’t expect it to be. Wherever it is now, it’s

under very heavy guard. I doubt your father’s letting it

out of his sight.” Kyle flipped the page over.

“Then why did we risk going there?”

“For this.” Kyle tapped the paper. “We need to

find out who his buyer is.”

Sebastian merged onto the freeway. “I thought

you said it was terrorists.”

“It is. Unfortunately there are plenty of groups to

choose from. This narrows it down.”

Glancing over, Sebastian’s brow furrowed. “It’s

al numbers.”

“It’s encoded, of course.” He puled out his phone

and tapped away. “I’l get one of the computer techs

started on it.”

“But if they haven’t made the exchange yet…”

“No way would your father hand anything over

without a sizable deposit. This is likely the contract.

With banking information would be nice.”

“You guys can just trace transactions and find out

who made them? Even on Swiss accounts? I’m sure my

father uses them.”

“Not instantly, but yes. It can take a few hours or

a few days. It depends. First they have to crack the

code. They’l give me an estimate in a couple of hours.”

“What are we going to do in the meantime?”

“Get us into the country and you’l find out.”

Sebastian glanced over, wary.

Kyle smirked. “It’s important. Trust me.”

“Like I have a choice?”

“We al have choices.”

Sebastian kept his eyes on the road.

“Why are you afraid of heights?” The question

slipped out before Kyle could stop it. You shouldn’t

care. It’s irrelevant.

Sebastian paused before answering. “It’s stupid.

When I was a kid—eight or nine—I climbed a tree at

my grandparents’ place in Sicily. It was a huge Banyan

tree, with al these twisty branches. I’d always been

fascinated by it.” He paused again, eyes on the road. “I

climbed up realy high. I remember feeling like I was

climbing to heaven. I didn’t look down until it was too

late.”

“You were stuck.”

“Yeah.” He smiled ruefuly. “I started crying and

caling for my mother. My father came instead,

absolutely furious. Told me to stop being a little girl and

climb down. But it was like I was frozen up on this

branch, my fingernails dug into in the bark.”

Kyle waited for him to continue, anger beginning

to simmer in his gut.

“My brother told me he’d climb up and get me,

but my father wouldn’t let him. He yanked Ben back

down by his colar. My father’s face was beet red.
