Chapter Ten

He’d checked to make sure that Antony was his visitor even before he opened the door. Doing anything else would have been a serious amateur move. Roman also made sure he kept his weapon at the ready as he allowed Dex’s agent to enter the cabin.

“I was wondering about the reception I’d receive.” Light glinted off the lenses of Antony Kyle’s glasses. His thick hair was tousled from the wind, and faint flecks of snow dotted his coat. “Figured you wouldn’t exactly greet me with open arms, but is the gun necessary? I mean, there are Wilde agents outside. They checked me out before letting me on the doorstep.”

Roman shoved the door closed behind Antony. “It’s necessary.” He assessed the other man. Tall, fit, with sharp, intelligent eyes. No nervous movements. Just stillness. Poise. Roman had never worked on a case with Antony Kyle before, but their paths had crossed. Antony had been on Dex’s side and Roman…had not.

Because for too long, I thought Dex sold me out. I thought he left me to die. He’d only recently learned the truth. Basically, when his worst enemy had become his brother-in-law. But that was another story, for another day.

“We’re going to be working closely on this one. Perhaps we should just let the past die and carry forward?” Antony suggested.

“I don’t exactly have a grudge against you.”

A sigh of relief slipped from Antony. “That’s great to know. Because I was afraid that, you know, since I was the one who helped Dex to hook up with your sister that you might be pissed about—”

Roman took a fast step toward him. “You did what?”

Behind the glasses, Antony’s eyes widened. “And you didn’t know that. I see. Got it. Let’s just pretend I did not say anything about that part, hmmm?”

Hell, no, he wouldn’t pretend that shit.

“Ahem. Where is Harper Crane?” Antony peered down at his watch. “Because I’ve been told we need to have wings up in thirty minutes.”

“She’s getting dressed.” He tucked the gun into the waistband of his jeans. “She’ll be out when she’s done.”

When Antony looked up at him, he was frowning again. “You did get the last update from Dex, didn’t you?” Antony asked.

“What last update?”

“He told me that he came by. Talked to you. Told you what I’d discovered.”

“Yeah.” Roman glanced over his shoulder. The bedroom door was still shut. “You’ve been digging on the Dark Web. Some asshole wants proof that I’m dead. Probably my head or some shit like that.”

The door opened. Harper stood there, with her hair tousled, her lips plump and red, and a faint pink glowing in her cheeks. She’d dressed in tight jeans, knee-high boots, and a thick, flowing red sweater.

She looked absolutely gorgeous, and for a moment, he simply stared at her.

“Oh, screw me,” Antony muttered. “He would leave this part out.”

Roman hauled his gaze off Harper. It took a serious effort. “What are you talking about?”

Antony pulled off his glasses. Began to clean the lenses on his shirt. “Nothing.
