Shane hadn’t figured out how the hell he was going to handle Rothgar and Dex with this “no more holding back” business. The team worried all the time about distractions; the more complicated jobs couldn’t handle distractions, and each didn’t hesitate to point out when someone gave less than 100 percent. Dex’s leg, Flynn’s face, Nick’s situation. . . there was plenty of proof to show that it wasn’t a minor concern.

If he was really going to let Cecily into his heart, he’d have her on his mind all the time now, not only as a distraction merely because he’d like to get her into his bed and claim her once and for all but also because he worried about her becoming collateral damage.

She had no interest in committing to the Hudson Kings life. She’d made it clear that she wanted to be normal. Take classes. Get freelance work that involved a computer and a mouse instead of a weapon, a hacking device, or a bag of unmarked bills. But by being here tonight, he knew without a doubt that there was something about this life that spoke to her, appealed to her, and she was willing to meet him on that halfway line. He suddenly wondered if she understood what that meant to him. Shane thought of the moment she’d walked into the gym, straight into the sights of Shorty and his pathetic band of brothers. He’d never had to worry about somebody he loved getting touched by that kind of dirt.

Stop thinking, sweet boy . . .

Nothing this sweet ever lasts . . .

Madison 57 was your typical tony New York eatery. Modern chandeliers dripping with crystals were paired with gleaming wood tables and striped velvet-upholstered seats. Not Shane’s atmosphere of choice, but the food was probably excellent. Missy’d made the reservation, so Shane was confident they’d be at the right table, but he tipped big in case James and Anya were late and they needed to hang around awhile. As they headed up the stairs, Shane shielded Cecily from sight with his body, making it look like normal PDA. They settled in to their table at the edge of a gold-railed balcony.

It had a clear view of James’s favorite table on the mezzanine but was a little too high for the perfect camera shot if he wanted a clear view of their faces. He’d have to come up with something on the fly for that.

Shane stuck his hand in his pocket and used the wireless remote to unmute his comms device. “Nice table,” he said to the hostess, and then muted it again.

She smiled and gestured for their server to bring water and menus.

“We’re a go,” Chase’s voice said through the comms to the whole team, confirming Shane was in place and the mission was on. Shane imagined Rothgar standing in the war room with his arms crossed over his chest, silently monitoring the screens and the traffic coming over the comms.

A sharp streak of static warped the line.
