Prue was back in the jungle.

The heat pressed down on her like it was suffocating her. The air was thick with moisture and the smell of rotting vegetation. Her wedding dress clung to her skin, soaked through with sweat and something else. Something dark and wet.

Blood.

“Nate?” Her voice came out small, frightened. She couldn’t see him. The jungle was too thick, the undergrowth pressing in from all sides. “Nate!”

Gunfire erupted. The sound was deafening, echoing off the trees, coming from everyw

    They pushed through the doors into the timeless elegance of Tiffany & Co. The interior was all white and chrome and that signature blue, with glass cases displaying jewelry that cost more than most people's cars.A sales associate approached immediately, her smile professional but warm. Mid-forties, perfectly coiffed, wearing a navy suit. "Good morning. Welcome to Tiffany's. How may I help you today?""We're looking for an engagement ring," Wyatt said, his voice carrying just enough for nearby customers to hear. Playing it up. "Something special for my fiancée."The associate's smile widened. "Congratulations! I'm Tanya. Let me show you our collection." She gestured toward a private viewing area. "Please, right this way."They followed her to a small alcove with plush chairs and a glass-topped table. Tanya pulled out a tray of rings, each one sparkling under the carefully positioned lights."Do you have a particular style in mind?" Tanya asked. "Classic solitaire? Halo? Vintage-inspir

    The next morning, Lauren woke to find Wyatt already up, dressed in jeans and another black polo, standing at her bedroom window with his phone pressed to his ear. He was listening, but he was watching her."Okay... got it." He ended the call. "Morning.""Morning." Her voice came out rough with sleep. "Everything okay?""Nate's team has eyes on Liam. He got home late... well, this morning, but hasn't left his place yet."Lauren pushed herself upright, the sheet falling away. "What do you mean late this morning?""He didn't go home last night. Spent hours at some dive bar, then a twenty-four-hour diner. Just sat there drinking coffee, staring into space. Finally went home around six AM." Wyatt crossed to the bed, sat on the edge. "He's been in his apartment since. Probably sleeping. Or planning.""Planning my murder or yours?" But Lauren already knew the answer."How to get to you. How to remove me. How to stop us being together." Wyatt's hand found hers on the mattress. "But we're not

    Inside her apartment, Wyatt locked the door, engaged all deadbolts, and set up his tin can alarm system. Lauren put the takeout boxes in the fridge.When she turned around, Wyatt was standing there. Just watching her. His eyes were dark, burning with something that made her breath catch."Wyatt—"He crossed the distance between them in two strides, his hands gripping her waist, lifting her onto the kitchen counter. Lauren gasped as her jean-clad ass hit the granite, her legs spreading automatically to let him step between them."I need you," he said, his voice rough. Not a request. A statement of fact. "Right now. Need to feel you. Mine. Now.""Then take me." Her hands fisted in his shirt, pulling him closer. "I'm yours."His mouth crashed down on hers, brutal and demanding. This wasn't the tender lovemaking they'd shared before. This was desperate. Raw. Two people who might not have a tomorrow trying to burn themselves into each other's memory.Lauren kissed him back just as hard, he

    "Not without proof that holds up in court," Wyatt said. "Each incident is isolated. Different jurisdictions, different methods. And in most cases, Liam had alibis. The pattern only becomes clear when you connect all the dots, which no one did until now." Clark had set the ball rolling on that. If she hadn't hinted at another case, then they wouldn't have what they did."Until you did," Maggie said, looking at Nate. "How?"Nate shrugged. "I have resources. People who can dig deeper than local PD. Who can cross-reference databases, sealed records, things that aren't supposed to be connected." Nate's voice was careful. "The information exists. You just have to know where to look.""So, hacking." Grayson guessed.Nate shrugged."And you gave this to the FBI?" Honey asked."This afternoon. Special Agent Nelson from Behavioral Analysis is coordinating with Officer Clark. They're building a case, but—""But they need him to make a move," Maggie finished. "Something prosecutable.

    Bella Luna was exactly as Lauren remembered. Red-checked tablecloths and wine bottles converted into candle holders. The kind of place that had been family-owned for three generations and looked it.Wyatt had scouted the location as soon as they arrived, checked the kitchen access, and spoken with the owner about their reservation. Now he walked slightly behind Lauren as they re-entered from the back alley at six-fifty after Wyatt had checked it out, his hand on her lower back.The place was packed. Good. More witnesses if something went wrong. More confusion if they needed to disappear fast.When he was done, he asked the hostess if they could sit at their table. She led them through the crowded dining room to the back corner. The booth was perfect, Lauren realized. Semi-circular, high-backed, tucked into an alcove that provided privacy while still giving Wyatt clear sight lines to the front entrance and kitchen door. Multiple exits within twenty feet.Nate had chosen well.Nate and P

    The ride back to her apartment was quiet. Lauren stared out the window and felt guilt settle heavy in her chest. Honey and Maggie. Her two best friends. The women who'd stood by her through everything. Who deserved to hear about her engagement directly from her, not through the grapevine or worse, social media."I haven't told them," she said suddenly.Wyatt glanced at her. "Told who what?""Honey and Maggie. My best friends. I haven't told them I'm getting married." She turned to face him. "Prue and Nate already know because of their involvement. It won't be long before they tell Grayson, and then Honey will know. And once Honey knows, Maggie will find out, and I'll be the asshole who let her friends hear about her engagement secondhand." She couldn't deny she'd been preoccupied, but then again, Honey had plenty on her plate when she'd encountered Grayson... actually, she'd known him from the office beforehand, though Lauren meant the kinky Grayson, that Honey had encountered at the

    Honey arrived at the police station with Amanda. She took a deep breath, steadying herself for what lay ahead. The bruise on her face throbbed despite the medication she'd taken throughout the day."Before we go in," Amanda said, her voice uncharacteristically hesitant, "I need to tell you somethin

    Friday, 13th October 8:25PMFriday had been mercifully uneventful for Honey. Somehow, she'd made it through the entire day without any encounters with Grayson. The only particularly interesting thing about her Friday was experiencing life without underwear, as Sir had commanded. She had complied, f

    Honey sat in the back of the car as Amanda drove her back to the penthouse, she pulled out her new phone and stared at the screen, her. There was no point putting this off, she needed to know.The number she dialed wasn't saved. She'd memorized it from Riley's phone bill, when she'd been gathering
