“It’ll be fine,” she lied, her voice sounding sure to anyone who didn’t know her the way that I did. “And as far as everything else, so we fight two battles, instead of one.”

“I’ll fight twenty if that’s what you need from me, and you know it,” I told her. “But I just don’t like how much…unknown this shit with August Remington had thrown into the mix, Kincaid.”

“Neither do I,” she replied. “But it’s not like you guys can’t handle him.”

Like it would most men, that straightened my back. “I never said that we couldn’t.”

Kincaid crawled into my lap, and my arms automatically wrapped around her. “How about I make you a deal?”

“How about you quit fucking with me?” I countered.

She let out a sigh. “Just for tonight, you let me have some fun,” she bargained, ignoring my remark. “Let me do my thing, then we can talk about the plan some more tomorrow. Or…later this week, or whatever. But I promise we’ll talk about it more, and I promise to listen.”

“Christ, you’re hell on my sanity, babe,” I told her. “You’re also a dick.”

Kincaid laughed, and I smiled. It was my most favorite sound in the world because the girl has been unhappy for too damn long in my opinion. So, what did I do?
