"Might as well make it for five," Stellan said. "You know I won't have you to myself for long."
"But we can make the most of it," I said, and he had his hands on my hips and had sat me on the edge of the table practically before I could finish.
I grinned. The private dining room was so elegant, with its view of the sparkling lake and fine china and the smooth cool mahogany of the table...under my ass.
Stellan kissed me hungrily. I moaned into his mouth, lost in the heat of the moment. His hands roamed over my body, tracing the curves of my hips and the slope of my back. I pulled him closer, pressing my body against his as I deepened the kiss.
"Get a room," a familiar deep voice interrupted, as Pax appeared in the doorway.
"We have a room," Stellan gestured around the dining room, not bothered in the slightest, as he kissed me again.
Pax strode into the room, looking sexy and dangerous in a t-shirt that clung to his muscular body and a pair of gray sweatpants. He dragged me off the table and onto his lap as he sat down in a chair.
"Rude," Stellan chastised.
"I'll fight you for her," Pax said without missing a beat.
But just then, the staff came in carrying our breakfast, and the two of them stopped fighting over me and watched me eat instead as if they needed to know I was all right. The delicious scent of the food filled the air and the french toast melted on my tongue. I didn't really need coffee when I had the two of them, though.
Remington sauntered in. "I think I found our man."
"How?” Stellan asked.
"Who lives in the middle of nowhere and doesn't have a driver's license? It has to be a fake name."
"Well done," Stellan said, his admiration for Remy evident on his face. "What's the name?"
"Gregory Johnson," Remy replied. "No social media, no online presence, no driver's license. He's a ghost."
"Highly suspicious in this day and age," Pax agreed.
I couldn’t wait, so we abandoned breakfast and headed out right away.

AURORA
Pax and Remy took one side of Carnage’s property, and Cain, Stellan, and I took the other.
I was trying to focus on a murder, but my best friend kept texting me.
Jenna:
Did I tell you I got a new roommate? Did I tell you she’s a pain in the ass?
Aurora:
Does she wake up screaming? Your last roommate was pretty annoying too.
Jenna:
Nooo. I love you. I think I need to see you in person to tell you about her MANY TRANSGRESSIONS. Can you do dinner tonight?
Cain took the phone out of my hand. “Focus.”
Cain, Stellan, and I sat in one car and watched the edge of the property, but Gregory-slash-Carnage wasn’t moving. We needed to get a look at him to know if it was truly him.
“Don’t be a dick,” I said, holding my hand out to him. “Give me back my phone. I’ve barely been around for Jenna, and I need to keep our friendship alive.”
