Ihugged my sister hard.

She was safe. Thank God.

She had several scratches and scrapes, but she was alive.

I didn’t let go of her, and she didn’t let go of me. I heard Kavner on the phone nearby, calling in the cavalry. Reath and Beau were standing guard over Viv, and doing what they could to staunch her bleeding. She was conscious and in a lot of pain.

Lexxie looked around, dazed. When her gaze stopped on Reath and Beauden, her eyes widened. Their wetsuits showcased their powerful bodies.

My sister turned her head, looking at Colt and Dante. Her eyes widened even more.

“I had some help rescuing you,” I told her.

“I see that.” Her gaze fell on Kavner’s back. “The Fury brothers.”

“Yes.”

Kavner finished his call and turned. His intense gaze locked on me. I was so relieved to see that he was okay.

Even though the danger was over, he still seemed tense, edgy.

His gaze raked down my body, and I saw a muscle tick in his jaw. Then he strode in my direction.

“Kav—”

He lifted me off my feet, and his mouth crashed down on mine.

My mind went blank. All I could do was feel.

Feel this man who’d become vitally important to me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed him back.

Too soon, he tore his mouth away. He pressed his forehead to mine. “Fuck, do not scare me like that again.”

“I knew you had my back.” I cupped his face. That handsome face I’d once distrusted, and now…

Now I wanted to look at it every day.

“I’ll always have your back, my darling agent.”

“Ah, hello?” Lexxie stood beside us with her hands on her hips. “Does someone want to explain why my sister is kissing a freaking billionaire.”

I wriggled to get down. Kavner let my feet drop, but didn’t let me go. He slid his arm around my waist.

“I’m London’s boyfriend.”

I froze and looked up at him. He looked smug. My heart started doing crazy things in my chest. “No, you’re not.”

“Yes, I am.” He reached over and fished the emerald out from under my shirt. “You’re wearing the necklace I gave you. You’ve been sleeping at my place. Not that we’ve been doing a lot of sleeping. And you’re moving in. Permanently.”

My mouth dropped open. My stomach was alive with a mix of fear, happiness, and annoyance. “Oh, I am, am I?”

“Yes.” He hauled me closer. “I’m not letting you out of my sight. Every time I do, someone tries to hurt you.”

I could see he was still upset. I softened against him and smoothed my hands over his tight shoulders. “I’m all right, Kav.”

“My sister is dating Kavner Fury.” Lexxie shook her head. “I go away for a few days and the entire world goes crazy.”

A few moments later, police cars and several unmarked FBI vehicles pulled in.
