“Do me a favor and stay in here for me.”

“What? Why?”Josephine’s eyes widen, and she licks her lip.

Grinning, I lower my mouth to hers and whisper against our brushing lips, “Because we’re not done, and I want you here when I get back from church.”

“But—”

“Tell me you’ll stay in here until I get back,” I interrupt her.

Josephine gives me an indecisive look but nods. “Okay.”

“Good, Freckles, now just relax, and when I get back in here, we’ll finish what we started.” I press a kiss to those alluring lips of hers, running my tongue along the seam of them. “Do me one other favor, baby.” I smirk, leaning up enough to see her eyes. “Be naked for me.”

I ignore the gasp, and those beautiful eyes of hers widen farther. Shoving away from her, I adjust my cock into a somewhat less erect position and make my way out of the room, closing and locking the door behind me. There’s no way I want someone walking in on her.

The anger from being interrupted just a bit ago nearly boils over when I step into church and find Jamie standing off to the side of the room while my brothers take their seats.

“What’s he doing in here?” I demand, curling my lip in fury at the sight of him smirking at me.

“Seems he’s got something he’d like to talk to us about, and we need to hear him out,” Reaper remarks, nodding to my chair. “You’re gonna need to take a seat while he tells us about the information he has.”

Cocking a brow, I slowly lower myself into my seat while staring directly at Jamie. “And what is this information that we want to know?”

“It has to do with the Scarlet Needles and that fucked up shit that happened with Everleigh’s family,” Jamie announces, losing that smirk of his.

“How the hell do you know about that?” Daemon snarls, fists forming.

“Because my team is also looking into them.” Jamie looks around the room, then stops to look between Styxx and me. “Finnegan asked me to come talk with you all.”

Hold the fuck on. “You work with Finnegan?”

“Our cousin, Finnegan?” Styxx grinds out.

“One and the same,” Jamie confirms and starts talking about the Scarlet Needles and Case. At the mention of Case, Daemon tenses, and we all feel it rolling off him. He wants that fucker dead more than anyone else.

The information Jamie gives us I find interesting. Some of it, I already found, but the rest is eerie, and I hadn’t gotten to it yet. Shit, the stuff they’ve found has my teeth clenching and my nerves on edge. I now know why I couldn’t find a damn thing on Jamie. The very fact he works for Finnegan makes him know more than a boogeyman. I’m surprised he even allowed us the information about who he works for. The men on Finnegan’s team and those who work with him are no more than ghosts to the rest of the world.

Fuck.

By the time he’s finished, the air is strife, and we’re all pissed.

Jamie looks at me and pulls a flash drive out of his pocket. “Finnegan told me to give this to you,” he says, stepping to the table and sliding it across to me. I grab it and hold it up, quirking a brow in question. “It’s the latest program you’ll want. It’s designed to make you invisible when entering all back doors. You’ll be able to find all the information I’ve given you today and more.”

Styxx mutters a curse under his breath about Finnegan and how he’s a bastard, but I ignore him.

“Why didn’t Finnegan bring this to me himself?” I ask, curious as to my cousin’s motives.

Jamie looks to Styxx and then back to me. “You know the answer to that question. Knowing Finnegan the way I do, I figured it was best I come in his place. Especially when I looked to see what my sister’s been up to. She’s not been telling me everything, and when I found out she was dating that tool, I volunteered.”

“What do you mean she’s not been telling you everything?” Angel straightens and eyes Jamie, calculating. It’s interesting watching him and Reaper. The way they seem watchful, looking for anything to happen at a moment’s notice.

Turning his attention to Angel and then around the table once more, Jamie sighs. “My sister emails me and keeps me up to date with her life and things that are happening around her. She told me about how her friends had gotten involved with the club but nothing more. I could kick her ass for not telling me about that bitch Juniper or the other shit that’s happened, but she’s smart and knows how to handle herself.”

“Meaning what?” Now I’m more than curious.

“Meaning, Dad and I made sure that Jo can handle any situation to rise. She knows how to weld a knife, same as shoot any gun put in her hand. So don’t piss her off, or she just might shoot you.” Jamie’s eyes glimmer with amusement and he straightens. “Something about my sister no one knows is she’s not one for attention and doesn’t like drama. Hates it. Doesn’t like being told what to do and is ballsy as anyone I know. She might seem like she’s just a normal woman who enjoys herself, content in what she does for a living and every now and then getting to ride her four-wheeler, but she’s not normal. She’s unique.”
