She responds to my kiss, wrapping her arms around my neck and holding me close. I sink into her, before rolling us so she’s on top. I trail my hands over her, relishing the feel of her skin under my hands, and enjoying the way she arches into my touch, even as she kisses me, her tongue tangling with mine.

She suddenly pulls away and I force myself to stay still as she suddenly leans over, grabs the condom and rips it open. She scoots herself back, and I barely manage to contain the groan that wants to rip from my throat at the feel of her scraping over my cock before she finally settles low enough that she can gripme in her hand, stroking me once, then twice, before looking up at me with a grin. She sets the condom down, and leans forward to take me into her mouth.

I’m already riding the line and the feel of her hot, wet mouth only gets me closer to going over the edge. I lock my muscles, straining not to lose control as she slowly sucks me, her tongue wrapping itself around me, before playing gently with the piercing. “Thea,” I grit out, my hands clenching into the sheets to keep from grabbing her. I’m pretty sure I hear fabric tear, but I don’t care.

She chuckles, and the vibrations have a growl tearing from my throat as I arch into the sensation, forcing my cock deeper into her throat. She doesn’t pull back, instead increasing her suction just enough I can’t fall over; she’s keeping me suspended on the edge, until finally, I can’t take anymore.

I reach down, pulling her up and off my cock, and grabbing the condom as I gasp out, “I’m not coming in your mouth, Thea.” I roll the condom on with practiced ease and order, “Get on my cock, baby girl. Now.”

At first, I think she might argue, but clearly, she must need me as much as I need her, because she moves back up, gripping me as she sinks down. Her earlier orgasm makes it smoother and easier, and I let out a low snarl deep in my chest at the feel of her wet heat surrounding me. Fuck, nothing else will ever be better; I’m sure of it.

She braces her hands on my chest as she moves, setting a slow pace as I reach up to grip her hips. I force myself to maintain her pace, despite the need to pound inside her. She’s running this show, and I’ll gladly go along for the ride just to see the pleasure on her face.

The light of the room makes her hair glow, and her blue eyes spark before she closes them, her head falling back on hershoulders as she starts to move faster. Our bodies slam together, both of us breathing hard as we push each other towards ecstasy.

I can feel my orgasm building, and the control I have is slipping fast. A sheen of sweat coats us, until finally, she must decide to put me out of my misery, moving faster and harder. “Fuck, yes, baby girl,” I groan, my grip on her hips tight enough I might just leave some bruises; not that she seems to care.

When she starts to slow, I realize it’s my turn to take over. Quickly, I lift her off me, before I maneuver us so that her ass up, her torso pressed against the bed as I thrust back inside her, setting a brutal pace. “Grayson,” she cries desperately, her body meeting me thrust for thrust, raw sounds of pleasure pulling from her throat with each slam of our bodies.

“Come for me, Thea,” I order, tilting my hips to hit all the perfect spots inside her. “Give it all to me. Let me feel you come all over my cock like a good girl.”

“Oh fuck,” she whimpers, and that’s when I feel the telltale signs of her orgasm. I keep my pace steady, until she lets out a scream that she stifles in the mattress, and her body explodes around me.

“Yes, yes, yes,” I hiss, relishing the feel of her, until finally I can’t hold back my own. I slam into her as I come, my heart pounding in my ears, until I finally go still.

Neither of us moves, my body trembling with exertion and my breathing erratic. I rub her lower back, before I finally ease out of her and make my way into the bathroom to get rid of the condom and clean myself up. When I emerge, I find Thea already under the covers and with them pulled up to her chin, eyes closed, mouth parted with slow and easy breathing. I smile at the sight.

Quietly, I turn the light off in the bathroom, and then the bedroom, before I climb into bed with her, gently pulling the covers out of her grip so I can climb under with her and pullher into me. She snuggles in to me instantly, pushing her leg between mine and laying her head against my chest, all without waking.

I marvel at her for a moment, still shocked she’s here in my bed, and we’re going to make a go of this. And I’m determined to make it work. But knowing Thea, it’s not going to be easy. I was honest when I said we’re going to test each other, and there might be a lot of butting heads before we find our rhythm, but once we do, I have a feeling we’ll be unmoveable. Unbreakable.

And with everything going on with Vlad, I’m damn glad she’s in my corner.

TWENTY-FOUR

SNIPER

Time to see what Vlad is hiding.

“I got a couple of pages decoded,”Silver announces triumphantly once we’re all congregated in Church. The room instantly buzzes with excitement, and I take in Silver’s gleeful grin. His eyes are red-rimmed, but that doesn’t seem to be slowing him down. I wonder just how much, if any, sleep he got last night. Clearly not much though if he managed to decode all that.

“And what did you find?” Bullet asks, leaning forward.

Silver lays out some paper on the table and replies, “It’s a mixture of locations written out and some with just coordinates. But the interesting thing is that most of them are close to each other. I also looked at the first few pages of the second journal and they’re an exact match. So it looks like your guy made a duplicate journal.”

“That would make sense if he was selling information,” Viper agrees thoughtfully. “I mean, we know the information was sold off, and Cryos said that there is an unknown player who’s biding their time.”

He has a point, but something about it isn’t sitting right with me. But I can’t put my finger on why. Then again, I’m also suspicious by nature, so it’s more likely that I’m looking too far into it. And if Silver figured this all out, then that means we don’t have to involve Thea any further. A win-win.

“Cryos, map them out,” Bullet orders. Cryos takes the papers from Silver and gets to work inputting them into the computer. “While he’s doing that, we need to make a plan on what we do next. But first I want to know about everything found at the cabin last night,” he finishes, looking at Bowie, Frost and Titan expectantly.

“They definitely knew you were there,” Bowie replies. “We managed to get over there before they showed, but barely. We got into position just as two black SUVs arrived, three men in each, and armed to the teeth. We took the device that Dagger used and jammed the cameras, but they definitely were looking for us. Three men went inside to inspect everything, while the other three scouted.”

“And how did you avoid detection?” Arson asks curiously.

Dozer lets out a sound of disgust. “They made me climb a fucking tree,” he growls, glaring at the three of them.

“A tree,” Arson replies incredulously. “What the fuck?”
