Kenton paced through the house, cleaning even where there wasn’t dirt. He was tired of being stuck in the house, even a bit jealous that Mia was still going out to work. She’d gone in early that day, whispering when she slipped out of his arms at three in the morning that she’d be home by noon. He’d missed her warmth and her curvy body next to his.

The nights had been the best part of the past five days. Nights they spent in his bed. They’d gotten in the habit of turning in early to make love and talk until falling asleep. He had no complaints about any of that. But this waiting around for the other shoe to drop needed to end. He was feeling cooped up, and he thought the girls were, too. He’d allowed them into the backyard, but not beyond, fearing that something might happen to them.

“I’m home,” Mia called from the front door.

Thank god was Kenton’s immediate reaction as the girls rushed to greet their aunt. She swung each of them up and kissed their cheeks. He’d like to kiss her, but they were still being careful to keep their displays of affection to a minimum in front of the kids.

“How’s the day been?” she asked him with a smile.

“Nothing to complain about,” he responded, but her eyes were on him. She wasn’t quite sold. “I need to work in my office for a bit. Can you…”

“Sure. Come on, girls. I want to tell you about the most beautiful dog I saw today.” She took them into the living room, leaving him standing by the front door, dissatisfied.

He shook it off and headed for his office. His CO had promised an update, even though it was Saturday. Kenton had just enough time to connect to the video chat before it started. Giving Patrick and Anderson a quick nod, he turned his attention to Colonel Schaffer, who got down to business immediately.

“We’ve confirmed the attack on you was posted on a kind of mercenary job board. Unfortunately, we haven’t yet pinpointed who placed it. Either way, the job, if you will, is listed again, so we’re assuming the original group failed and it’s open to other mercenary groups. Whoever is after you has increased the price they’re willing to pay and the seriousness of the job. It’s being listed as an actual contract now.”

Kenton sucked in a breath and tried not to look rattled. Putting a contract on someone usually meant these groups were looking to kill or capture. Did they want just him? Or were Mia and the girls equally at risk?

“Do you have any details, colonel?” he recovered enough to ask.

“No, captain, and I know what you’re thinking. It’s still safest to keep the woman and kids with you for the moment. The good news is that the latest intelligence says the contract is untaken. You’ve got some breathing space, but don’t let your guard down.” The colonel turned his attention to Anderson and Patrick.
