A very nice car.” Kade completed the coded communication with complete stoicism. “I’ll follow separately.” She nodded. “Very good, sir.” After she closed the door behind her, Kade carefully arranged and labeled Raven’s notes, slipping them into a fingerprint-locked drawer in his desk. In his mind, he was already making calculations about her: his newest asset. His newest weapon. And he knew she’d be great. *** Kade told his driver to take turns down to the bottom floor of the empty underground parking garage very slowly. Ostensibly, this was to avoid scratching the limo on the tight turns, but really, it was for dramatic effect. Kade wanted Todd Richardson to hear him co

Kade was sitting at the island chowing down on a sandwich and appeared to be listening to Beyonce. “Coffee. No talk, coffee.” I mumbled. It was too early for him. Okay, not day early, but I did just wake up. “Oh, and the valiant prince has arrived! Good afternoon, my dear lord!” Kade did a little dance in his chair at the entrance of Aziel into the kitchen.
