“God, that dog is gorgeous,” Devyn said. “Just like his owner.”

Her husband scowled at her. “We’re planning an important mission here, remember?”

Devyn smiled. “Right. Don’t worry, Hawke, you’re still the hottest guy I know.”

Cain met Jet’s gaze and rolled his eyes. She smiled.

“Don’t forget it, Mrs. Hawke,” Killian said.

Devyn leaned into her husband’s side. “I never do. I know how lucky I am that you finally caught me.”

Jet grinned at them.

“Okay, let’s start preliminary planning. That way, we’ll be ready when the team arrives.” Cain’s mind ticked over picturing Weber’s estate. “Weber has a large private security force.”

“We can handle it,” Killian said.

Casually, Cain looked at Jet. “It’s probably best that you stay here. Use the hotel as a base of operations.”

Jet snorted. “Good try, Bond, but not on your life. I’m bringing several drones, and I’ll provide on-site comms and intel.”

Fuck. He didn’t like the idea of her near Weber, his guards, or these damn Albanians. He wrestled with his feelings.

She gave him a faint smile. “I’ve got this, Cain. And I trust my team. I trust you.” She touched his hand.

Screw it.He didn’t care that Killian and Devyn were in the room. He scooped her up and kissed her. She happily clung to him, her legs wrapping around his waist.

Killian made an unhappy, grumbling noise.

Devyn laughed at her husband.

“Mission,” Killian stressed.

Cain set Jet down, and stroked his thumb across her cheek.

Then they got to work.

Killian hadweapons and gear organized, that included vests and night vision goggles. They were being delivered shortly.

Cain and Killian pulled out the schematics of Weber’s estate, and cross-referenced them with detailed, aerial photos off a CIA satellite.

The dining room table had turned into their war planning table.

Cain glanced over and saw Jet hunched over her computer, fingers flying. Devyn sat on the couch, flicking through aerial photos.

There was a knock at the door, and Killian opened it.

The Sentinel Security team walked in.

“We made it.” Hadley, as elegant as ever, walked straight to Jet and pulled her into a hug. “Are you all right?”

“I’m fine.”

“Hear you’ve been having a pretty wild time.” Nick pulled her into a hug as well.

“Oh, you know me,” Jet said. “Always the life of the party.”
