Evelyn POV As I entered the skyscraper of RSS, I was greeted by the friendly face of Lennie. She handed me my badge and guided me through security. One of the security officers chuckled when he saw the contents of my bag. Snoozie slippers, marshmallows, a massive yeti filled with coffee, and a framed picture of me and Alfredo.My face heated. I couldn’t help that I needed certain things in order to function and if I wanted to make this look real I needed to personalize my office space. “Welcome Ms. Mowers. I hope you enjoy your marshmallows.” The officer greeted me. Lennie looked confused until she saw my bag. “You’ll fit in just fine. Don’t worry.” Lennie said, giving my arm a little squeeze. As we entered the Hive, I was greeted by Gwen and Ollie. Jax barely spared a glance my way and continued to tap away on his keyboard. As I got settled, I booted up my work computer and put in my credentials. That’s when I noticed my task list along with the rest of the team. Annoyed as I r

Evelyn POVI walked into RSS Friday morning to complete chaos. Servers were down, phones weren’t working and staff were racing around the building trying to figure out what was going on. I rushed to the Hive where Jax was already seated typing frantically. “What’s going on?” I asked, quickly logging into items I could. When Jax didn’t respond, I repeated myself. “Jax, what the fuck is going on? You can resume whatever beef you have with me after we fix whatever is happening.” He ran a hand through his hair. My voice snapping me out of what he was working on. “A virus was planted into the server. I can’t find where the bug came from but it’s attacking the entire database.”Fuck this was wasn’t good. I couldn’t help but wonder if the glitches I found were connected to this. “Have you tried calling Mr. Romano?” “Yeah but he’s not picking up, and his secretary said he won’t be in until later this morning. The one day that he doesn’t come in early, Armageddon decides to happen.” The

Evelyn POVThe universe was against me for whatever reason. It didn’t matter that Kaden Romano was the sexiest man I’d ever seen . His ego was enough to dampen his sex appeal. And now, he was in my sanctuary. Bursting my Kade-free zone bubble. Kade stood behind me getting into the first position. The first objective was to get out of a chokehold from behind. Badger demonstrated the moves with Machine who was visibly getting frustrated by each take down. “Ready?” Kade whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. The smell of his cologne overstimulated my senses. “Yes” the word sounded sharper than I had intended. Focus Evelyn. This isn’t the first hot guy you’ve trained with! His arm wrapped around my throat pulling me flush to him. He wasn’t squeezing hard which annoyed me even more. “If you’re going to train with me, don’t baby me.” I titled my head to look up at him. Any closer and our lips could touch. “As you wish, princess.” He tightened his grip, cutting off my airw

Evelyn POVOver the weekend I tried multiple calls to my mother at the medical facility with no response. I hated that I hadn’t been able to get her out of that Hell hole. I knew the longer she stayed there, the more she would decline. I was lost in thought when my phone chimed. An incoming group email from Kade, instructing us that a quick mandatory meeting would be held the Hive in 30 minutes. I had hoped I wouldn’t have to see him again so soon. Especially after the defense class. I had pleasured myself more than I cared to admit, thinking about his strong, hard body against mine and the bulge I felt in his shorts when I was on top of him. Internally groaning as need surged through me again. I took my phone out and sent off a text.Me: Come over tonight after training?Aaron 🏹: Yeah, but this time I am picking what we are watching.Me: We won’t be watching any TVAaron 🏹: Need a little bit of TLC, E?I responded with some suggestive emoticons, so he knew I was serious. After

Kade POVOut of all the things I thought Evelyn would like, marshmallows were not at the top of the list. What kind of weirdo eats marshmallows like chips and keeps them in a bag in their purse? Clearly she was that one weirdo. I knew this trip would allow me to get to know her better, however this little fact just made me want to laugh. I knew that how the flight started was not the greatest. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to talk to the beautiful brunette that occupied my mind rent free 24/7. However, I had just gotten off the phone with Machine before she arrived with news that another shipment had been ransacked with my additional security measures. Machine and I agreed that there had to be a mole within us and we needed to find out who it was. I spent the first part of the flight, hacking into security systems to try to identify the leader of the attack. I had just taken a break when Evelyn crashed into me. I could still feel the heat of her skin on mine through the fabric of our
