I was staring at the brown eyed bastard in front of me, my dagger mere inches from the space between his both eyes. Declan was struggling to keep me away, his hands wrapped around my wrist trying to push the blade back, but I had him pressed against the wall with the full weight of my body behind the pressure.

He'd given Jude away.

The words had barely left his mouth before rage had consumed every rational thought in my head. He'd unintentionally stumbled upon my detective's place the day she left my apartment because her coworkers were in trouble. What he didn't know was that he had people following him. And he also had men who'd been missing, men who'd disappeared without a trace and ended up god knows where.

Well, that's what I'd heard before I got blinded by rage and flung my dagger at his head. Lucky bastard caught it. But he wasn't lucky when I had my hand pressed around his throat seconds later, cutting off his air supply as my dagger hovered mere inches from the space between

    "Why are you here, Declan?" Cassien said as he pushed off the spot he'd been standing at and went to sit behind his desk. His gaze didn't meet mine for even a second as I stared at him, trying to catch his eyes and understand what was going on.Declan brushed at his suit jacket, his movements slow and careful like everything hurt. He pointed his chin toward one of the chairs in the office. "May I sit?"The glare Cassien sent him could have melted steel. Declan seemed to get the message because he just stood there, running a hand through his dark hair and stiffening his posture."I need to speak with you," he said finally, his voice still rough from where Cassien's hand had crushed his windpipe.Cassien's eyes flicked to Elias, a silent command passing between them. "Elias, escort Jude out.""No," I said immediately, planting my feet firmly on the ground. "I want to hear what he has to say.""You don't want to," Declan grumbled, rubbing at his chest where bruises were probably already

    A dry laugh left my lips as I ignored him and gave the food an effort, poking at whatever was on the plate in front of me. The pasta looked good, smelled good even, but my appetite was nowhere to be found. I stabbed a piece with my fork and brought it to my mouth anyway, forcing myself to chew and swallow even though it tasted really good but at the same time brought no satisfaction to my being.Elias started talking, probably because of the sulking face I was sending him. Why he gave in, I had no idea. But I told myself to think it was because of that scowl. He rambled about nothing important at first, filling the silence with observations about the base and complaints about Duke being dramatic."It was so weird seeing him again," He'd said, flipping a page of the book he had in front of him."Duke? Yeah, no shit." I said with a mouthful of food. Elias glanced at me from the top of his book and lifted both of his eyebrows up. "Swallow before talking."Glaring at him from the space I

    The name fell from my lips in shock and confusion, my brain struggling to make sense of what my eyes were seeing. Duke stood in the doorway with his pale curly hair falling across his forehead, his grey eyes sharp behind those square shaped glasses he always wore. He cocked his head at me, assessing me with those grey eyes and then nodded at Cassien, a brief acknowledgment that earned a low grunt in response. I did the same thing, assessed him right back, not quite believing what I was seeing or hearing. Duke. Here. In the Black Rose base like he belonged here, like this...was normal."I have so many questions," I said slowly, each word careful and measured.Both corners of his lips turned up in a smug smile. "Sure you do."Cassien's hand fell on my lower back, grounding me as Duke and I stared at each other. Past memories taunted between us, flashes of the academy, of late nights in the library where he'd worked, of training sessions where he'd always been just a little too observan

    I didn't need Cassien to finish that sentence as I felt a swell of emotion crashed through me. Although I'd always had Kyl—My thoughts started to drift there but I forced it away, and shoved it down deep where I didn't have to look at it. I focused instead on the vulnerable sight of Cassien above me, on the pain etched into his features and the fear I could see swimming in those cobalt blue eyes. I realized in that moment, that I'd been true to myself when I followed him, when I chose this path even though it was a strike at my entire career, at everything I'd worked for. I didn't care.Fuck, the only reason I wore that stupid police badge in the first place was because I wanted information about my parents' death.As I held Cassien's cheek in my hand, feeling the warmth of his skin and the slight tremor that ran through him, I realized maybe this was where I was meant to be all along. I rubbed my thumb gently across his forehead and away the crease between his brows."I'm okay," I t

    My chest rose and fell in rapid breaths as I stared up at him, taking in the way his cobalt blue eyes had darkened to something deeper, something that made my stomach clench with anticipation. The weight of him pressed me down into the mat was solid and warm and impossibly real. I could feel every inch of where our bodies touched. The hard rigid length of him pressed against my center, separated only by thin layers of fabric that suddenly felt like too much and not enough all at once. Heat pooled between my thighs, a reminder of exactly what kind of interesting he could make things."What?" I breathed, the word coming out shaky and wanting.Cassien curved his hand around my cheek, his fingers digging into the tendrils of my hair at my temple, gripping the strands in a way that sent tingles across my scalp. I scowled at him, trying to summon some kind of irritation through the haze of desire clouding my thoughts."My hair is going to be a complete mess after this," I complained, but my
