“I’m a civilian contractor. I didn’t do the whole Quantico thing.”
Gate nodded again.
“Are you trained for this?”
I sighed and admitted the truth, “Not as well as a real agent would be. I mean, I know firearms, and I’ve trained in hand-to-hand, but I’m definitely not a spy.”
“What’s your plan?”
“Honestly, my plan relies more on the club than the agency. If you’re willing to lend the help, Stash and Rooster will handle the wire and camera, somewhere on my clothes. Brent’s too. He’ll go into a party as a heavy hitter with me as his companion, and then we’ll try to blend in and see what we can see.”
Gate leaned forward and propped on the table. He held one of my hands in his. “I’d never tell you not to follow your gut. Not to do your job. But can I make one request?”
“Okay….” I dragged out, uncertain where this was headed.
“Take Nine with you instead of Brent.”
“Nine?” I questioned.
“Former Marine, training to the gills, and he’s got some experience in blending into environments like that.”
My eyes went wide, “He does?”
“Are you willing to meet him? He can explain.”
“Would he be willing? He doesn’t really know me.”
“But he knows what you are to me.”
And that thought settled low and deep and flowed through my veins, sweet and warm, like honey.
“I’ll meet him,” I said.
“Brent too, if you feel you need to include him.”
“Let’s just see what Nine has to say first.”
So Gate sent a text that changed everything.

Gate
Anna’s plan to go undercover scared the fuck out of Gate, but no way was he going to let her know that.
So, he finished eating the favorites she’d gone out of her way to feed him, and when she unearthed the coconut cream pie, he thought he’d died and gone to heaven.
And then the doorbell rang.
Anna froze. “You answer it while I change?”
Gate slid his chair back from the table. “I got it.”
When Gate opened the door, Nine stood there, all six foot one of him, dressed in jeans, his leather cut, and a white tee shirt with his dark eyes laser focused on his president.
“What you need, Gate?” Nine asked.
Gate stepped outside and closed the door behind him.
