“You’re…you’re an FBI agent?”

Skye stared down at the bleeding man, then back to Rio, the stricken but fierce expression of half anger, half determination on his face and…yes. Of course he was. It all made sense—the way he’d warned her to stay away from him and the rest of the prisoners. His courage when he stepped in front of March’s gun. His crazy escape attempt in the woods, and even…even the fact that he hadn’t kissed her—not right away.

And even her own brain had been firing warning shots because what on earth had possessed her to kiss a man she barely knew? A criminal, for that matter—except, yes…see, deep in her gut she knew he was different.

Especially when, as she kissed him, he seemed to step out of the tight fist he held around himself and just let himself go. Kissed her like he needed her, as if she might be a drink of water to a dying man. And the way he’d pinned her against the tree, held her there—talk about hostage. But she’d never felt safer in her life.

More, she’d never been kissed like that before.

Her entire body still simmered from his touch.

Yes, he was a dangerous, very dangerous…good guy?

She backed away from him, her arms around herself.

“What—would you rather I be a prisoner?”

“No! Of course not. I’m…relieved. I’m just…” FBI. “You lied to me.”

Rio reached for her, but she held up her hand.

“I was undercover.” Then his expression softened. “Okay, yes, I heard what you said about your dad. And we will talk about that, and how sorry I am that…well, whatever happened. But I knew that if March knew I was FBI he’ll kill me on the spot. And I couldn’t risk what he then might do to you.”

She drew in a breath.

“I’m sorry, Skye. Really. I didn’t want to lie to you, but…” He looked at her, and the expression of regret tempered her anger. “I thought it was safer. I still think it’s safer if everyone thinks I’m one of the bad guys. But we can argue about it later. Right now, I have to figure out how badly Darryl is hurt. And if it’s safe to go back to the camp—”

“It’s not,” Darryl said. “The marshal is there—with that fire boss, Tucker. I don’t know if they have March or not. He freaked out. I saw him hit that smokejumper pretty hard. He was down—he might be dead. And then—and then March strangled the US marshal.”

Skye couldn’t move. He might be dead.

Her body went liquid, but Rio was right there, grabbing her shoulders, holding her up. “Skye—listen. We don’t know that Tucker’s dead.”

Right. Right. She clenched her jaw, trying to scrabble up through the scream forming inside.

“Stay with me. We’re going to get out of this, I promise.”

Nothing will happen to you as long as you’re with me.

His words at the cabin surged through her. She met his eyes turning molten in the setting sun. Nodded.

“That’s my girl.” He let her go and crouched next to Darryl.
