I walked the client out of my office, shook his hand, and waited until he disappeared down the hallway before turning back toward my office. He’d spent the last forty minutes complaining about numbers he’d approved himself, which was always fun when your job involved telling grown men that their own decisions were the reason their accounts looked like shit.I closed the door behind me and dropped into my chair, letting out a long breath as I reached for the file on my desk.I hadn’t even opened it when someone knocked.“Come in,” I called, expecting Alexis to poke her head through the door.The door opened, and Ryan walked in instead.I stared at him for a second. “What are you doing here?”He smiled as he closed the door behind him. “Nice to see you too, Sophia.”I leaned back in my chair and looked at him. “Did you come to see Alexis?”“Partly.”“Only partly?”He walked over to the chair opposite my desk and sat down like he belonged there. “I was nearby. I thought I'd sto

Brianna and Monica were wearing leather pencil skirts while I opted for tight black leather pants. I paired them with a fitted black tank top, a cropped leather jacket, and black ankle boots with enough of a heel to make my legs look good without making me regret every step. I added a few silver rings and small hoop earrings, then pulled my hair into a high ponytail.I stared at myself in the mirror and nodded. This was probably the closest I was ever going to get to looking like a biker babe without actually learning how to ride a motorcycle.“Damn,” Brianna said from behind me. “Cass is going to lose his mind.”I glanced at her through the mirror. “That’s the plan.”Monica laughed as she adjusted the leather skirt around her waist. “You two look like you’re about to take over the club.”I grabbed my leather jacket from the bed and slipped it on. “Maybe I am.”Brianna looked me up and down before grinning. “Boss lady.”I smiled at my reflection. I could definitely work with th

“Everything is stupid to you until you actually start liking it,” I complained, shooting her a disapproving glare.“Even her patients are stupid,” Monica added with a giggle and shook her head.“No. Those ones are just nuts.” Brianna shook her head. I rolled my eyes and looked at Alexis because my bladder was bursting, and I didn’t want to go alone. Brianna and Monica had their gazes fixated on the sexy, tatted-up men roaming around the tracks. Alexis looked bored on her phone. She was my safest bet if I didn’t want to get tackled by my dick-hungry best friends.“Hey,” I muttered at her. She quickly looked up and frowned. This was the most casual I’d ever seen her since she became my assistant. But she seemed more at ease with her brother sitting next to her.“Walk me to the bathroom?” I said, using my fingers to make a walking gesture. She nodded and threw her phone into her bag before standing up. Ryan looked up. “I can walk you.”“Boy, sit down,” I muttered and turned

We walked into Black Forge Security with one purpose. Get armed. I headed toward the armory with Roman beside me. Nobody needed to be told twice. We weren't going to Mario DeLuca's building dressed like bikers looking for a missing woman. If Victor had turned that address into a trap, we needed to be ready for whatever was waiting on the other side.I pulled a black tactical shirt over my head and reached for my vest. The weight of the bulletproof panels settled against my chest as I secured the straps, tightening each one until it sat properly. I checked the magazine in my handgun before sliding it into the holster at my waist, then grabbed a spare magazine and tucked it into one of the vest pouches.Across the room, Roman was doing the same. Cole checked his weapon while Jax pulled on his vest, his face still tight with guilt over losing Sophia at the race. I caught his eyes for a second.“Don't start that shit again,” I told him. “You can blame yourself after we bring her home

Jax crouched in front of me and reached for my legs. Then he lifted me off the bed and pulled me against his chest.“I can walk,” I protested, even though my legs immediately proved me wrong by hanging uselessly beneath me.“Sure you can,” Jax muttered, adjusting his grip. “You can tell me that again when we're outside.”I wrapped my arms around his shoulders because I had no choice. My body felt like it had forgotten how to function after being tied to that bed for so long. Roman moved ahead of us, gun raised, checking the hallway before waving Jax forward.The gunfire had gotten quieter, but it hadn't stopped completely. Every shot made my stomach twist.“Is Victor still here?” I asked.Roman touched his earcomm, listened for a moment, then looked toward the stairs. He didn't answer me.Of course he didn't. He wouldn’t even tell me anything about Cass. Nobody wanted to answer anything.Jax carried me down the stairs. I could see flashes of movement through the hallways, bu
