Page 62 of When Kings Fall

“Intense. And… really nice.”

His eyes lit up and he rubbed my legs over the covers. “Amazing, cutie.”

“Yeah, it was.”

“She’s still processing it,” Levi said, wrapping his arm around me. “How’s the songwriting going?”

“Awesomely. Almost done already.”

“Wow, that’s gotta be the fastest you’ve ever written from start to completion.”

“Well, I was inspired.” He beamed out at us. “By our foursome.”

We didn’t get to discuss it more, as Mason burst in, looking out of sorts. “We have a problem.”

Levi straightened and instinctively tightened his hold around me. “Our joint strategy to quell the insurrection didn’t work?”

Mason waved his hand. “That’s sorted. And, for the record, your idea for a show of force worked wonders. The rebellion was completely stomped out, they’re running scared and extremely apologetic.”

I smiled at Levi proudly, then at Mason.

The two of them were actually working well together and taking each other’s suggestions, being open to it all.

Colt caught my eye and we grinned happily.

Until Mason stepped up to the bed and told us, “The safehouse may have been compromised.”

“I thought those guys Royce Humphrey sent to Bree’s apartment were dead?” Colt spoke. “Taken out by Roman Knight personally?”

“They are,” I confirmed.

“This issue happened beforehand. When they were being moved into the transport van for Lev by Hex,” Mason said. “By the time it was happening, one had regained consciousness after Lev’s beatdown. He lifted one of our guy’s phones.”

“Worse that just one of our guys. Your lieutenant,” I pointed out. “Well, the stand-in while Chase Arlington is still recovering from my takedown a few weeks back.”

“Wait, and you think because Chase had been calling you on it, Mason, and now it’s missing that Royce has it and he’s gonna use it to track us here?” Colt looked out at me. “Can he even do that?”

I scrubbed my hand over my face. “Yes.”

“Shit.”

“It would take somebody exceptionally skilled, but we know he has access to that, considering he was able to kick me out of his server. Initially, but still.”

“If Royce even has the phone. We don’t have confirmation. That’s why I said the safehouse may have been compromised.”

“So, we move?” Colt asked.

“That could backfire,” Brianna’s voice came from the door as she walked on in, her phone in her hand.

She’d been on the phone with Vixen putting her girls into play with the Tommy situation, and also to try to find confirmation of this phone situation.

My greeting got caught in my throat as I took her in.

She was wearing a sexy pastel-pink strappy tank with a whole lot of lace, and a pair of gray lounge pants, her feet bare.
