“Good idea.”
Mac wondered if this would be too much to put on their sister, but she was just as strong and resilient as the rest of them...a point she often reminded them of. Still, she was their baby sister and they felt the need to shelter her.
“I need to get ahold of Ryker.”
Mac stood at his floor-to-ceiling office windows and stared out onto the city. “I’ll keep you posted if anything turns up.”
Just as he disconnected the call, his office door flew open. Mac jerked in defense, but relaxed when he saw Jenna in the doorway loaded down with bags.
“I did some damage,” she said as she breezed in. “Mom dropped me off on her way to the salon. I booked her an appointment and...what’s wrong?”
She dumped the bags into the leather club chair by the door and crossed to him. “Mac?” she asked, her brows drawn in.
He wrapped an arm around her and kissed the top of her head. “Nothing.”
Jenna pulled back, her hand on his chest. “We’re a team now, remember? If you can’t give me details, I understand, but don’t lie to my face.”
“There’s been a threat to the family. I don’t know if it’s personal or business. I really have no details but I can tell you that you’re safe. I just need you to be vigilant when you’re not with me.”
She studied his face. “I know you’ll protect me, but what about you? Who’s going to protect you?”
“I’m fine.” He squeezed her tighter against him as he stared out the window. “Everything will be fine, Jenna. I swear to you.”
And that was a promise he’d never break. Regardless of his family’s new direction, if anyone ever posed a threat to what belonged to Mac, he’d personally see to destroying that person with his bare hands.
“You believe you’re safe, right? Promise me you’re not going to worry about this.”
Jenna looked up into his eyes. “I’m not worried one bit. I know you wouldn’t lie to me about that.”
“I love you, Jenna.”
A smile spread across her face. “I love you. More than anything. Shall I lock the door and give you a sneak peek at what I purchased for our honeymoon?”
Arousal slammed into him. “Is that a rhetorical question?”
As he watched his fiancée close and lock the door, he knew he’d die before letting anything happen to her. This was the start of their life together and things may be rocky, but for now, having Jenna do some insanely erotic striptease in his office was all he needed. She was all he needed and they would face anything in the outside world together.
