I have never been so impatient before, to the point that it's driving me crazy. Seth and I had to return to my place, kissing each other hastily without breaking apart. It's like our lips are glued together; all we can do is savor each other's taste.We didn't want to do anything inappropriate while everyone was still asleep—especially the children. I don't want my daughter and the other children to see us. It's not for their innocent eyes to see.My back slammed hard against the wall without breaking our kiss; our breathing synced with each other. Seth trails his lips on my neck, and I moan. I can feel the desire spreading through my body as it aches for him."Are you sure you want to do this?" Seth asks in between our kisses. "I said we can wait after everything is settled. We don't need to rush it."I pulled his head and had him look at me. My chest is thumping with ecstasy. "I can't wait. I needed this. I want you so bad, Seth.""God, hearing you say that makes me hard already," h

Seth and I walk up to the residence, and as calm as I try to be, I have the urge to kick down the door and see my daughter.Before my hand could grasp the doorknob, I heard a screeching scream coming from inside. My heart sank the moment I listened to it. Lifting my leg, I kicked the door and ran upstairs."Poppy!" I cried out, stopping at the top floor to find everyone in the hallway, including Liam and Lilly, with little Ramsey. I was surprised Jordan was here as well, and I was worried."Wow, so how was it?" Ares wiggles his brows at us. "Did you two get freaky?""Ares, don't," Seth growls at him. It's good that he warned him because I would like to smack Ares in the face. He may be an MMA fighter, but I've dealt with more prominent men than him. When no one did it, Jordan slapped him on his head."Ow!" Ares hiss at her."It's not the time to joke, you ass.""Jo, Ace. Knock it off," Thea warns as she hands her son to Rex and crosses her arms. Children are present here.""Sorry." Jo

If I don't return Poppy to her, hundreds of children will be killed.I dropped my phone on the counter and stared at it for a minute, thinking about what she had meant.It's not like she knows I'm her daughter. She only knows me as my male counterpart, even with her hackers, who can access my background records because there are none. Once you are joined in the Dagger program, you are listed as "nonexistent." We are only given our code name.I closed my eyes and thought of a way to handle the situation before tomorrow night.Opening my eyes, I grab my phone and speed-dial the number."Hello?" Greeting in a chorus tone."Pete, it's-""Terry!!" I pull my phone away from my ear as he screams. "Oh my gosh, I know that sexy tone anywhere. How long has it been since we talked? Five years? Three? Hmmm..."I shake my head. "It's only been two years.""Ah yes, a two...years..." he stays quiet for a second, then causes an outburst. "TWO YEARS! I didn't get your call after that. That day when yo

"Are you sure you don't want to join you? It's better to have back up close to the target." Kendall states and asks for god knows how many times.I plug in my earpiece as I scan my eyes around the dock. We have parked the disguised transportation truck into a small base for Kendall to monitor the pier. Although I was supposed to go alone, those two insisted that I couldn't argue with Odin, even with his worries that he sensed something would happen and that the whole Daggers would be hiding and in position in case this trade went south. When I told them the plan of using Pete, dressed as Poppy, for the trade, Kendall and everyone thought it wouldn't work, but knowing Pete, his master of disguise and a Dagger member, he could pull it off. Eva is cunning and sharp; she can sense something off in a snap with one wrong move.The plan is to use Pete to trade him with the vaccine. If my calculations are correct, she will hug her and say sweet words about her worries and affection. Pete migh
