"A fox?" she questioned as he carried her through a corridor and into his office. Thankfully, they had entered through the back entrance.

"Hmm. A female fox can sound like a distressed person," he explained.

"Seriously?" She wiped away her tears, attempting to conceal her face. She didn't want to frighten the poor guy half to death.

"Yes, they emit a similar cry when they're looking to mate."

She stared at him in disbelief. "You've got to be kidding me."

"I assure you, I'm not." He gently placed her on the couch and perched himself on the old coffee table in front of her. He handed her the box of tissues from beside him.

"Thanks," she muttered, taking a few tissues.

He observed as she tidied herself up, which was quite embarrassing. Once she finished, she scanned the room for a trash bin.

"What are you searching for?"

"Um, somewhere to dispose of these tissues."

He extended his hand towards her. She glanced down at it, wondering what he wanted. A high-five? Strange, but alright.

She slapped her hand against his.

"What was that?"

"A high-five. That's what you wanted, right?"

"I wanted the tissues."

"Why would you want the tissues? They're used."

"To throw them away in the bin."

Oh dear. There was no hope for her. Absolutely none.

“I can throw them in the garbage.”

“Elle.”

It was all he said.

It was enough. After all, she’d just given him an unwanted high-five. If it hadn’t been for falling over on stage while wearing next to nothing, this would be the most embarrassing thing to happen to her.

“It’s all right, I’ll just hold on to them.”

“Elle. Give me the tissues.”

She handed them over. There was no denying him when he used that tone.

And that tone was bossy and hot.

She was a total goner.

“Where are your gloves?” Gomez asked with a frown as he took the tissues, throwing them into a bin that she hadn’t seen from her angle.

“I don’t know. I couldn’t find them before I left the house.”

He eyed her. “You went outside in February in Montana without gloves?”

He made it sound like she’d gone outside while naked. That had nearly happened once. She’d missed putting out the garbage bin the night before. Oh, she’d had panties on, but still . . . she was grateful she’d realized her error when she’d opened the doors and the cool air hit her nipples.

“I’ve lost you again.”

“What? I’m here. I’m good.”

“Are you?” he asked.

“Uh-huh. Are you good?” It was nice to ask people how they were doing, right?

“What I am is angry.”

“You are?”

He didn’t look or sound angry.

“I am.”

“You don’t look it,” she told him.

“Then you’ll have to take my word for it. I am upset. With you.”

Ouch. That felt like a punch to the gut.

“Mr. Gomez—” she started to say.

“It’s just Gomez.”

“Oh. Uh, that’s not what you told Lucy.”

He just looked at her. “That’s for Lucy. For you, it’s just Gomez.”

That turned the pain in her stomach into something warmer that filled her whole body.

“All right, Gomez. Why are you upset with me?”

“Are you kidding me?” he asked, turning her words from earlier back on her.

“Um, no,” she said. “Why are you mad?”

“You left.”

“Oh. But you left first.”

Lame, Elle. Really lame.

Lord, she really could use some jelly beans right now. And a hug from Slowly. And some painkillers.

“I left, but I was coming back. Were you coming back?” he asked.

“I might have been?”

“I believe we have discussed lying. What did I say to you before I left?”

“It was more like what did you order me before you left.”

“Yes, it was,” he replied calmly. “And what did I order you?”

“To stay here and not move.”

“Did you stay?”

“Um, no.”

“You disobeyed me.”

Damn, he had this whole stern professor thing going on right now.

And she could be the naughty college student . . . uh-uh, no. Stop, Elle. This was not the time for her imagination to run wild on her.

“Elle? Why did you leave?” he asked.

“Well, I didn’t see much point in staying. I didn’t get the job and I need to get home.” So she could scour the internet for another job. Or bus tickets for her and Brooks to get to Wanton, Wyoming.

Yep, that was really the name of the town where April lived.

Pretty awesome.

“You didn’t see much point in staying?” he repeated.

“Um, yeah.”

“What about the fact that I still needed to check whether you were well enough to move around by yourself?”

Uh. Right.

Now she felt terrible.

It wouldn’t have hurt her to wait around a few minutes for him to return.

Except . . . he’d been gone a while and she’d grown more embarrassed with each passing second.

“And that I came back expecting to see you where I put you.”

Okay, she wasn’t feeling so terrible now. In fact, she was feeling kind of mad.

"Where did you place me?" she whispered softly.

"Yes, Twinkletoes, where I placed you." He leaned in closer, causing her heart to race at his proximity.

Not out of fear. Not out of anger.

No, it was a different feeling altogether, making her squeeze her thighs together as desire pulsed through her.

"I don't think I have to remain where you placed me if I don't belong to you."

He leaned back, and she longed for his face to be near hers again, missing the sight of those brown specks in his striking green eyes.

Darn it. Why did she have to say that?

"What if you worked for me? Would you still have to stay where I placed you then?"

A shiver ran down her spine.

"You're still cold," he remarked, mistaking her shiver. "You shouldn't be out in this weather without gloves. Or a scarf. Or a hat. Or even ill-fitting shoes, for that matter."

He stood up, opened a cupboard behind his desk, and retrieved a soft, deep blue blanket.

    Fire. Life. Protection that engulfed her.That’s what his name meant to her.Then she turned her gaze to the other man who owned her heart. They didn’t own pieces. They both owned it fully.“Trevor,” she whispered. He was beginning to like her using his first name. Not always, though.That cool, almost detached gaze became laser sharp, focused. Lord, when he gave her his attention, she felt like there was no one else in the world except for her and Saber.Ice. Calm. A safe place to land.She licked her lips, watching them both as Gomez came to stand beside Saber.Her men.“I’m so freaking lucky,” she whispered.“Do not pinch yourself,” they ordered together.She had to grin. “Aww, are you two gonna finish each other’s sentences? That is so freaking cute.”“She said the c-word,” Saber muttered.“She certainly did.”“What happens when you use the c-word around us, Elle?” Saber asked quietly.Excitement raced through her. Because she knew exactly what happened.Punishment.But not the so

    “That’s it, Daddy G. And now take a bow.” Elle clapped her hands. “You look so pretty! And you did an excellent spin. You only stumbled once.”“I cannot believe you agreed to this.” Saber shook his head, his lips twitching as he took in Gomez.The other man had on a tutu, a pair of boxers and nothing else.He looked utterly ridiculous.But Saber’s gaze still ate him up. And he had to work hard to keep his dick under control.“It’s your turn now, Daddy.” Elle turned to him.His eyes grew wide. “Uh, no, it isn’t.”She dug her hand into the jar of jelly beans and he reached over to grab the container, pulling it away.“Hey, my bean-beans!” She made gimme signs with her hands. “Mine! Mine!”“You’ve had enough.”“But it’s my birthday! I want to eat my beans! You said that beans were a good form of iron.”“Actual beans, baby. Not jelly beans. These will just rot your teeth.”“But it’s my birthday! I can eat whatever I want on my birthday.”“I’m afraid not. You can have some cake after dinne

    Soon, they needed to get back to normal. He knew that. So did Saber. The shooter and the kidnapper had been taken care of. As had Brooks’ uncle.There were no more threats. They all needed to get back to their lives.Elle’s gaze lifted and her smile grew bigger as she spotted him. She ran toward him.“Gomez!” He kissed the top of her head. She was acting like she hadn’t seen him in weeks rather than a couple of hours.But he liked that.“Hello, sweetheart.” He kissed her. “Yum, you taste like sugar.”“I made cupcakes!”Brooks looked up and smiled at him before gathering his stuff up. He walked past them and Gomez reached out his hand and lightly grabbed his arm. “You don’t have to leave, Brooks.”“Don’t worry, I’m finished. I’m going up to my room to call the twins. I get why Saber freaked and put us into lockdown, but I really want to get back to school.”“Soon,” Gomez told him.When Brooks was gone, Gomez picked Elle up, cradling her against his chest. “Come, show me these cupcakes

    “Fox? Fox?” Saber called out. Then he bit back his pride. “Thanks!”“He’s gone,” Ink said. “Let’s get you to your girl.”Fuck. Finally.He needed to see with his own eyes that she was all right.The drive to Ink’s security company was done in silence. Saber got a text from Gomez saying he’d meet them there.Ink led him into a meeting room, where he saw Elle huddled between Betsy and Millie. As soon as she saw him, she got up and raced toward him. “What’s going on? Are we safe? Are you okay?”He drew her in tight against him, holding her as she shook with fear.Fuck.He hated that she’d been so scared. Kissing the top of her head, he rocked her back and forth.“It’s all right, baby. Don’t shake. We’re safe. We’re fine.”“Where’s Gomez?” she asked.“He’s coming. Shh, baby girl. Shh.” Picking her up, he carried her to the sofa where she’d been sitting.The other girls jumped up and went to their men. Royal and Baron were sitting at the table with Brooks. But Brooks was watching Elle worr

    “No problem,” Royal said. “If Elle was my woman, I’d want her under lock and key for the rest of her life.”Baron grinned. “He’s not joking.”“Lord help me,” Ink muttered. “Actually, though, I’ve got an idea.” Using his phone, he took a photo of the unconscious guy and sent a text. “I’ll send this to the Fox. If anyone might know who this guy is, it’s him.”“Good idea,” Royal said. “The Fox knows everything.”“Is it wise to bring him in?” Saber asked.“Wise? No,” Ink replied. “Will he help? Perhaps. It’s hard to know. But I’ve also sent this to Brody. He’ll get him to help.”“Who is the Fox?” Elle asked.Gomez shook his head. “Probably best you don’t know.”“He was a paid assassin,” Baron said. “But mostly, he took jobs where he killed bad guys.”“And he saved Ma,” Royal added. “She was in a hole.”“A hole?” Elle whispered.“In the forest,” Baron added. “He saved Sunny too.”“He’s saved lots of our women,” Royal said.Ink shook his head at Royal’s words, his lips twitching before he s

    “You’re with us.”Saber led them upstairs. Wolfe, then Gomez carrying Elle.He couldn’t hear what Gomez was saying to her, but he could hear her soft sobs and it made him furious.His fault.He should have protected her better.Saber pointed at the sofa. “Sit.”“You don’t tell me what to do,” Wolfe snapped. “For months, you’ve fucked with me, ignored, and threatened me. I’m done.”Saber shoved him up against a wall, putting an arm over his throat. “Fucking talk to me!”The roar filled the whole room, probably traveling downstairs. But he didn’t care.All he was concerned with was his girl.“Daddy, stop!”Saber glanced over to see that Elle was staring at him in concern. Gomez had her on the sofa in his lap, holding her tight.“He saved me. Please.”Saber reined his temper in. But only because he wanted to know what happened.He stepped back, then started pacing. “Talk.”Wolfe coughed. “Fucker.”“Someone s-shot at me,” Elle said. “Why would t-they do that?” Her face was splotchy, her h
