My brow knits. “What?”
“I’ve been knocking on your fucking door and calling Castle for like ten minutes. What the fuck.”
Knocking on your fucking door.
My face pales. “Wait—you’rehere?”
Castle springs from the bed and bolts to the living room as my pulse spikes.
“Yeah! Let me the fuck in already.”
Oh shit.

CASTLE
“What the fuck, man?”
My jaw is tight and my muscles coiled as Ares storms into the apartment past me. I’m dressed, and I’ve had the presence of mind to wet my hair in the kitchen sink. “Sorry. I was in the shower and Callie must’ve still been sleeping or had her damned AirPods in or something.”
Ares sighs. “Yeah. Sorry about the tight quarters. I know this isn’t ideal at all.”
“Eh, it’s fine,” I shrug as I turn to go make some coffee.
“Castle.”
I tense, glancing back at Ares. “Yeah.”
“I really can’t thank you enough for what you’re doing, protecting Callie like this.”
I bite back a smile, trying not to replay I my mind the way Ifuckedhis sister—twice last night and once just now.
My pulse sizzles at the memory.
“You don’t have to thank me,” I growl.
Seriously.
“Well, I am anyway,” he grins. “Also, I’ve got some good news.”
Just then, Callie sidles out of the bedroom in a hoodie and yoga pants.
“Hey,” she mumbles to her brother, quickly walking past him and into the kitchen to hide the flush on her face. “What are you doing here?”
Ares rolls his eyes. “Wow, great to see you too, Cals.” He turns to chuckle at me. “As I was saying, I’ve got good news. Great news, actually.”
“Please tell me you found him,” I mutter.
Ares winces. “I wish. But I’ve got the next best thing.” He grins. “He’s gone.”
My brows furrow. “Gone as in dead?”
“No, but as in gone-gone.”
When I lift a curious brow, he grins and pulls out his phone.
“Deimos got in touch with some people he knows, and Cillian pulled some stuff from Shane Dorsey. Here.”
