Hero leaned back, rubbing his temples. “Watching you? I think a stalker changes everything.”
I swallowed hard, my mind racing. “We need to know who’s behind this before they make the next move. I’ll dig wherever I can.”
“Then we start today. No more delays.” Rook nodded, waiting for everyone to agree.
Everyone looked grim, but I was resisting rolling my eyes.
Because this was a perfect addition to my life right now.
A mysterious shadow organization was now stalking me and might want me dead—as if my life weren’t complicated enough already.
The rest of the day was filled with work and endless digging into who could be threatening us. I slipped off the bike behind Aiden when we reached the next business. We were there to drop off a file folder—evidence for one pissed-off, corrupt businessman who’d lost his shipment of stolen diamonds.
The road behind us was empty, but I knew Mason and Hero wouldn’t be far behind—we rarely went to these places alone.
Aiden pushed up his visor, the heat in his blue eyes locking me in place.
“I don’t know what’s more torturous—knowing you’re behind me and Ican’ttouch you or knowing that Icannow.”
I only grinned as his hands slid around my waist, tugging me closer while he straddled the bike. He leaned in, pressing a kiss to my helmet with a crooked smile.
“Hey, isn’t it your sappy movie night tonight?”
My eyes narrowed, not moving as he pulled me in more. “Maybe. Why?”
“I want to join. I want to see which movies my little psycho girl secretly loves.”
“Is it even a secret or have you told the entire pack by now?”
“I’ve already said I wouldn’t tell. We’re keeping our own secrets now and that’s one of them. I want sweet, crying, mushy Evie all to myself.”
I smacked his arm, but he only squeezed my hips.
“You know this looks awfully damning if one of the guys pulls up,” I whispered.
He shrugged. “Damning would be you sitting on my bike withyour legs wrapped around me. This is—at most—something to raise an eyebrow over.”
“Wow, Ace, you’re really starting to get wild. Next you’re going to say you want to tell people what’s happening between us.”
He went to say something, but the sound of two approaching motorcycles cut him off. I only smiled before slamming his visor back down as Hero and Mason parked next to us.
It took twenty minutes for them to run inside, deliver the envelope, and get us back home.
Aiden grabbed my arm, pulling me back as the others shut off their bikes and pulled off their helmets.
“Don’t forget, movie night. Don’t lock your door,” he whispered.
“And if I do?”
He grinned. “Iwon’tget the hint and come in anyway.”
I smacked his arm, pushing back and heading inside, not stopping until I was tucked away in my room.
My pillows swallowed me whole as I lay back in them. The doorknob rattled quietly and I grinned when it didn’t turn effortlessly.
Mumbling came from the other side, followed by the faint scrape of metal in the lock.
Another minute ticked by before the door creaked open.
