Her gaze tracked Carter as he walked away. He'd also been completely unaware I was standing here.
She had no idea who he was. But Carter had stared for a little too long and she’d noticed.
I knew the feeling.
Since the moment I’d met her, that’s all I’d been able to do.
Stare.
And I was having the same problem since I found her.
Watching while she tried different coffees, trying to figure out which one she used to like. Not knowing that she hated coffee and had only drank chai tea.
Watching while she tried out different styles—preppy, sporty…even goth. Not knowing she’d almost always worn dresses.
Watching while she tried to find herself. Not knowingweknew exactly who she was.
She finished her free skate session and stepped off the ice. I remained hidden in the shadows, my eyes never leaving her. She smiled at a group of children rushing past her, lighting up the whole room.
I’d once had that sunshine all the time. I’d wrapped my life around it, my future.
And then it had been taken away.
I had been relentless in my pursuit of Kennedy. After our separation five years ago, I left no stone unturned, determined to find her. The men I’d once called my brothers had done everything in their power to protect her, to ensure she remained hidden from my reach. They had erased her from official records, making her a Jane Doe in the world’s eyes…she’d become a ghost.
Maybe they would have succeeded in hiding her from most men.
But I was not most men. I was the Jackal.
And Kennedy was mine.
It took me years of painstaking detective work, a web of informants, and a few close calls, but I finally uncovered a trail that hinted at Kennedy's existence. A small piece of information led to another, and another, until I had pieced together a puzzle that revealed her new identity and location.
I’d tracked her to her shitty apartment as soon as I got the address, and I’d been watching her for a week. I was leader of the Jackals because I was always prepared. I didn’t go into battles that I knew I couldn’t win.
When I’d seen the medical records detailing her amnesia, I’d laid out a plan, and I’d spent the last week watching the new Kennedy.
Although I realized pretty quickly that Kennedy hadn’t figured out whothe new herwas yet either.
I’d always prided myself on my control, but it had never been tested like it had this week, keeping myself away from her.
My dick was experiencing major chafing from all the jacking off I’d been doing since I found her.
I hated fucking chafing.
But it was necessary at the moment.
Her silk panties were making the experience a little easier.
But they wouldn’t be necessary soon. Now that she’d run intothem, it was time for me to stop watching…and move in.
Carter may have kept his distance today…but that wouldn’t last long.
One thing none of us had ever been good at was staying away from Kennedy.
Even though the three assholes had evidently stayed away these past few years, they would have cracked.
It was only a matter of time.
