His heart was pounding. “Maybe.”
She smiled. “Are you brave enough to tell me?”
“I’m thinking about it.” He slid his arms lower and squeezed her ass, keeping her close. “I’m still not good enough for you.”
She rolled her eyes.
“I’ll still mess up. I’ll make you mad.”
“Oh, I don’t doubt it.”
He pressed his forehead to hers. “Jet Adler, I love you.”
Her face softened. “You do?”
“Yes. You gave me no choice. You’re smart, beautiful, competent, sassy, cu—”
Her fingers tightened. “If you say cute, Cain, I’ll hit you.”
He smiled. “You love me. You showed me how. You’re the bravest woman I know.”
She smiled. “I don’t know, Devyn is tough competition.”
He cupped her face. “Bravest because you took me on, and didn’t back down, and didn’t give up.”
“It’s lucky that I really love you.” She rubbed her lips over his.

“Jet flew into the damn building.” That was Hadley’s panicked voice. “Right before it blew.”
Cain touched his ear. “We’re here. We’re both okay. We’re in the lake.”
Voices broke out on the line.
Jet smiled at him, and he smiled back. He nuzzled her cheek. “You’re not getting out of your punishment.”
She grinned. “I certainly hope not.”

The data hadn’t fallen into enemy hands. She wondered idly if Weber had escaped. In that instant, while treading water in Lake Geneva with the man she loved, she didn’t care.
As far as she was concerned, they’d won.
She looked at Cain. She’d won.
He loved her.
The roar of an engine caught her ear, and she spotted a speedboat heading their way, slicing cleanly through the water. It pulled up alongside them. Killian was at the controls, with Devyn standing by his side.
Devyn leaned over and held out a hand. “We are damn glad to see you two.”
