The boys’ mommy: My name is Sloan. It’s nice to meet you. Tell me about yourself.

That was how I spent the rest of my time –catching fish, listening to the ribbing of the brothers, texting with Trance’s mom, and watching the man candy in front of me.

It was one hell of a fishing trip.

“Your girl’s asleep.” Foster said from behind me.

Glancing into the rear view mirror, I took in Viddy’s sleeping form slumped against the window.

“Mom likes her.” Miller said as he read something on his phone.

We’d been getting messages from our mother ever since Viddy sent the picture of us, and I damn well knew my mother liked her.

In fact, she’d told me to marry her.

And she hadn’t evenmetViddy.

“Yeah,” I said.

My phone rang through the speakers of my truck. Without even thinking about it, I hit the answer button on the steering wheel.

“Hello?” I answered.

The background noise of the bullpen of the precinct filled the speakers as Loki greeted me. “Hey, man. Got the prints lifted from the camera. They were Paul Russo’s all right. I have a team heading to Russo’s place right now to arrest him and search his place. Gabe and Max found two other cameras and a recording device in the guest room of her place.”

My fingers tightened on the steering wheel so tight my fingers popped.

“Let me know when you have him. I have a few questions of my own.” I spat.

“Alright. We’re here. I’ll keep you updated.” Loki hung up.

“Was that Loki? Since when does he do anything that doesn’t have to do with undercover work?” Foster asked.

I glanced at him, but then back to the road. “Loki’s not doing undercover work anymore. He hit a bad case and decided it wasn’t for him anymore. Now he’s a plainclothes.”

Miller grunted in agreement.

SEALs lived under the air of secrecy. My brothers were rarely ever home. They knew what it was like to be burned out on the lies and deceit. Hell, I did too, and I didn’t even have to deal with all the undercover BS that they did.

When we pulled into the drive, I backed the trailer underneath my carport and shut the truck off.

Miller and Foster got out, unhitching the boat from the receiver, while I went to Viddy’s door.

I opened it and curled my fingers around her jaw, turning her head in my direction.

“You are pretty good, girl. Your breathing changed though. I was going to tell you later, but why don’t you go ahead and ask me the questions while my brothers get changed and showered.” I said softly, studying her face.

A slow smile overtook her mouth as she opened her eyes. “You’re good.”

“I know I am, baby. I just haven’t shown you how much.”

She blushed beautifully at my words, and leveraged herself up until her knees were on either side of my hips.

“What was on the tapes?” She asked.
