Aegis Group Chapter 55: Christmas festivities.
BLISS WAS READY TO hurl her fancy wine glass full of punch in Wendy's neighbor's face.The entire neighborhood was crammed into the house. At some point between being rescued and their convoy arriving home, Mom had begun cooking all the Christmas food they hadn't consumed during her abduction. There was easily enough to feed everyone and then some.And where the hell was Travis?She made another noncommittal sound to whatever the neighbor was saying and glanced around for the shadow-shaped man sticking to the edge of the room. It hadn't taken more than a minute to realize how uncomfortable the large gathering made him. Travis had an amazing ability to belong in any high-stakes situation, but stick him in a social group, and he was immediately lost.There he was. Chatting with Jade in the corner with the curtains about to swallow them up. They both looked ready to bolt. She chuckled and sipped her drink.Travis caught her eye. She lifted her eyebrows and canted her head toward
Aegis Group Chapter 56: Christman Genipperteinga.
"JADE. TRAVIS."Travis glanced up from his phone. Ryan jerked his head. The tense set of his lips, the one clenched fist...they didn't bode well. What other bad news could they get? Did Daniel Campbell have a sick, twisted twin brother? Or a partner they didn't know about?Both Jade and Travis followed Ryan through the throng of people into the office. It was still decked out with all their information from trying to catch Daniel. Now, would they be after another ghost?Dmitri closed the door behind them and leaned against the wall."What is it?" Jade asked."Lali has made her initial pass through Daniel's files," Ryan said."And?""We know he was in contact with the person called Black Widow. The same one we think TBKiller was taking orders from."Travis' stomach dropped. It was the connection he'd been asked to look into. To see if these murders matched up with other copy cats, if the feds had a case to add to the potential list of Killer Club members."There appear
Aegis Group Chapter 57: Few words, good actions.
BLISS SMILED AND SQUEEZED Travis' hand.Man of few words.He made her heart beat too fast, her head want things she hadn't realized she wanted, and her body, well, she'd never had a man set her insides on fire like Travis did. She loved him. And he'd told her he loved her. It was a curious place to be, confident and nervous all at once. Things between them were still new, and yet the more time she was around him, the more it felt as though he'd always been there. A silent, ever-present shadow watching over her.They spent the rest of the drive to her apartment in silence. It was nice to be free of the expectation to smile and say thank you to all the well wishes for living through the holiday nightmare. She could just-be. Travis didn't need her to put on an act. He'd see through that anyway."We're here." Travis killed the engine.She stretched and pushed her door open."Is it safe?" She stood and blinked at her apartment."Yeah. Cops went over it twice."Bliss followed
Aegis Group Chapter 58: Who needs a fancy wedding?
TRAVIS SWIPED THE FANCY handkerchief over his brow. Shit, this was almost as bad as being in the sandbox. The tux was a little tight across the shoulders and every time he took a breath he was sure the thing was trying to suffocate him, but Bliss had assured him he didn't look like an ass before disappearing with her sister to go do...bridal things. Whatever the hell that meant.His phone vibrated against his thigh. He dug it out of the impossibly deep pockets.Ethan."Hey, man." Travis glanced over his shoulder into the foyer. People were starting to arrive, most of them with a slightly befuddled expression on their faces.He didn't blame them. It was pretty damn surreal to him, too."You're doing this?""Yeah." Unless Ethan had a good reason why he shouldn't. Nah. Even then, Bliss was worth it. But maybe he should have taken her up on her midnight wedding idea instead of waiting until ten the next morning."Well shit. They're about to roll me into the common room. I gue
Aegis Group Chapter 59: Epilogue
Six months later.TRAVIS JOGGED UP THE porch stairs, keeping on the balls of his feet and avoiding the squeaky board. Bliss wasn't expecting him home until tomorrow morning. These moments, coming back to the little two-bedroom house they shared, were the best. Second only to the hours of lovemaking that followed. Things weren't perfect, but they were making the best out of what they had. And it was a hell of a lot more than he'd ever expected.He disabled the security through his phone app and let himself in the front door. For a second, he stood on the little rug and listened. Music played softly from the spare-room-turned-office, and over that he could hear her humming.There wasn't an aspect of his life Bliss hadn't touched. From redecorating the boring house to his taste in food and music, she'd changed him. For the better. His life wasn't just work anymore. And though the long hours, days, and sometimes weeks apart sucked, he always got to come home to this.His home. With
Aegis Group Chapter 60: When she needs help she comes to me.
Volume 2: Dangerous in TrainingMason Clark hefted his workout bag from the back seat of his pickup truck and headed into the land of temptation. He blinked and rubbed a bit of the grit from his eye. After a two-week gig playing bodyguard with the Aegis Group team to the sandbox and back, he was ready to slip back into his Central Standard Time habits. Which always started the same.Up early to the gym, where he would spend an hour thinking of ways to keep to himself and not talk to her.Hannah Stevens. His former physical therapist. The woman with the magical laughter. And the one woman he had to stay away from per his commanding officer's orders, who also happened to be Hannah's over-protective father.Mason checked in at the front desk, stashed his stuff in the locker room, and hit the elliptical for a short warm-up. The morning news played a reel of hopped-up bullshit that didn't matter to a handful of people who didn't care.His joints were stiff after back-to-back fl
Aegis Group Chapter 61: There's just something about him.
Hannah wrapped Mason's hoodie around her, soaking up his smell, the warmth still clinging to the soft cotton. She could still remember the first day she met him, grumpy and ready to bite someone's head off. Despite his grumbling he worked hard to get the mobility back after his ACL surgery. They'd been friends-or something like it. Granted, she'd never wanted to be friends with Mason.There was something about him...Why did it have to be Mason?Why couldn't she have developed a thing for someone else?Hannah had considered the very real possibility that she was broken. That maybe she just wasn't equipped for romantic relationships. And then she met him, and her body had woken up with a vengeance."What have you been up to lately?" he said, as though he knew she was thinking about him."Not a lot. Working mostly. You?" She twisted to face him, taking sick pleasure in the opportunity to just look at him. Mason Clark was a bear of a man, big and muscular. Yeah, he could be gr
Aegis Group Chapter 62: Building walls.
Mason slung two garbage bags of what he suspected were clothes over his shoulder and pushed the truck's door shut.This was the last of it.Six hours, four vehicles loaded to bursting, and buckets of sweat later-Hannah was safe.He trudged up the stairs to her new rental, a two-story condo in the better part of town, and let himself in through the front door. Zain, Travis and Ethan had taken off, leaving Mason on his own to finish unloading. From their long, hard looks, he knew he was in for it. Once Mr. Stevens got back, Mason would be lucky to come out of this with just a new asshole. There wasn't a single one of the guys willing to cover for him, not that he expected them to. No, he'd pay for this little stunt all on his own, because it was better for Mason to get chewed out than for Mr. Stevens to put another brick in the wall he was building between himself and Hannah.He could still smell the sweet mint gum Stevens had chewed that first day Mason was going through his int
