God, he wanted to fuck her, right there on Weber’s desk.No. He had to get her safe first.

If they got caught in here, Weber would kill them without asking any questions.

“I’m in!” She did a little shimmy, her dress glittering. “Copying the data now.”

“You’re one in a million, Jet Adler.”

She winked at him. “I know.”

CHAPTERTWELVE

Almost there.

Jet watched the data upload on her phone. She was sending it to an encrypted Sentinel Security server. She scanned the contents on the screen.

“God, Cain, Weber has a deal to sell the drone technology to an Albanian crime syndicate.” She felt queasy. Theyhadto get it back. They had to stop Weber.

She hated the idea that the tech might fall into the wrong hands.

Cain stood near the door, listening.

“There’s a list of a ton of other stuff on here.”Shit. Deals for weapons, technology, government secrets.

“Jet, get down.” His voice was low as he quickly crossed the room. “Get your phone.”

“What?”

“Someone’s coming.”

“Crap.” She snatched the phone off the desk and put the computer to sleep. “The lamp—”

The door handle started to turn.

“No time.” He circled the desk and grabbed her, then yanked her under the sleek wood. He pulled her close and they pressed together in the cramped space.

The office door opened, and she heard footsteps.

Jet tensed. Her heart pounded so hard she was sure whoever was in there would hear it. Damn, if they were caught in here…

Weber was not a good guy. If he found them here, they’d be killed.

She held her breath, panic clouding her head.

Then she felt fingers on her jaw and looked into Cain’s brown eyes. They were steady, calm.

Cain was with her. He wouldn’t let anything happen to her.

She heard the guard mutter and turn off the lamp, and then after an excruciating three seconds, he stomped across the room and left.

When the office door closed, Jet released a shaky breath.

“Good?” Cain asked.

She nodded.

“Have you got all the data?”

She pulled out the phone and checked. “Yes. Let me make sure I didn’t leave a trace on his system.”
