But as I stare into Aubrey’s dark eyes, I can’t help but wonder if I’ve found someone who might just embrace the darkness of my past. Hell knows she must have enough of her own to do the job she does.

"There isn’t much to tell really,” I say lightly.

“Oh bullshit,” she barks happily. “You’re hooking up with not one but three Hawks. You’ve got all the ins and outs going on.”

She raises a brow pointedly and I can’t help but laugh.

“Okay, yeah. There have been a few.”

“All three at once?” she asks, leaning forward with interest.

I smirk. “Not yet.”

“Oh, but you want it, don’t you?”

I shrug, trying to play it cool.

Do I want to know what it would feel like to have the full attention of all three of them? To have their hands all over me, their lips? To have them fill me so completely? Oh hell yes, I do.

“Dirty, dirty girl,” Aubrey teases. “I can see it in your eyes.”

“They’re hot and I have needs. Sue me,” I concede.

“Damn, I need to find myself a setup like this,” she muses.

“Fucking old corrupt gangsters not doing it for you?”

She pauses and I regret the question instantly.

“Shit. I’m sorry, you don’t have to answer that.”

“No, it’s fine. I can’t expect details from you and not spill. Although I’m not sure you actually want details.”

A shudder rips through me as I think about the man she’s been tasked to play.

“No, I really don’t. Reid was an asshole to ask you to get involved with him,” I say fiercely.

“It’s my job,” she explains. “And I probably don’t need to tell you that he’s paying me handsomely for my support.”

“I should hope so. I know what those men are capable of and—”

“But do you know what I’m capable of?” she counters, cutting me off.

“Uh…”

“I know what I’m doing, Alana. Reid asked me to help because he trusts me and he knows that I’m good at my job. I need you to trust me too. We will bring these motherfuckers down.”

I suck in a deep, calming breath.

“I know. And I do trust you. All of you.”

“You just have to be patient.”

“Yeah, I’m struggling with that, if I’m honest. Being here with the guys twenty-four seven is great, don’t get me wrong. But being so locked away from the outside world and having no idea what they’re up to is unnerving as fuck,” I explain.

“They’re going to come for us sooner or later and I’m worried we won’t know it’s coming.”

“We’ll know,” Aubrey assures me. “I have guys stationed ready for intel and so does Reid. They’ll fuck up sooner or later. They’re too fucking arrogant not to.”
