Page 34 of Undercover Hacker

Brock understood the importance of getting Sophie and Kat to safety. John was flying back with the women. Brock’s team and Asher would escort them from the airport back to Blackwood Security. Kat and Sophie would stay there until Antonio and I killed Yermushin.

“What is the ETA on Antonio?”

I could hear Brock’s fingers clicking across a keyboard. Over the short time I’d known Brock, he had impressed me with his skills. I wasn’t surprised, since Sam Blackwood had given him Blackwood Security. The last time I had spoken to Sam, he had been dealing with issues in Shialia and didn’t have time to give Blackwood the attention it needed. So, he and his future wife gifted the company to Brock. What most people didn’t know was that Brock had owned half of the company as a silent partner.

“They are only five minutes ahead of you.”

I glanced over at Sophie. She was gazing out the window. Her shoulders were still tight with tension. I wanted to make this a little easier.

“Thanks, Brock. Do Bridget and Jessica know Sophie is coming back to Blackwood today?”

At the mention of her friends, she looked at the screen, waiting for Brock’s reply. When he let her know they would be there, it seemed to help with the tension.

The streets were clear in the middle of the night, and we made it to the airfield in no time. I pulled onto the airstrip and noticed the other Range Rover parked next to the Boeing 727. The nice part of this op was that we had so many billionaires’ planes at our disposal. The Boeing 727 was Blackwood Security’s private jet. The jet had a mission control room built in that most security firms would drool over.

The second the car came to a stop, Sophie jumped out. I had to jog to catch up to her. If she thought this was the end of what we had started, she had another thing coming. The more time I spent with her, the further I was falling for her. I still didn’t know if it was lust or love. Either way, we would spend time together to figure it out.

I gently grabbed Sophie’s arm to stop her so we could talk before she left.

“Sophie, stop.”

She spun around at the sound of my words. “What? You got what you wanted.”

Damn, if it wouldn’t be harder to break this woman's outer shell than it was to shoot an apple from two and a half miles away.

“I’m far from getting what I want. I want your body spread across a bed with my tongue between your legs, begging me to make you come.”

“Our fling is over. I got my sister. You will take down the director and save the world. It seems like you don’t need my help at all.”

That was where she was having a problem? She didn’t want to be cut out of the op? The problem was that she was a computer hacker, and when she had faced down danger, she drained a complete clip on the target and saved nobullets for the other man coming after us.

Antonio and I needed trained field agents to take down Yermushin before he sold the codes to North Korea. The more time I spent with her, the more I wanted her around. If it weren’t nuclear codes being sold, I would be on the plane with her, heading home and coming up with a new plan to take down the director.

“That’s why you're upset? You want to come on the op?”

Sophie turned and looked over to where her sister and Antonio were in a heated discussion. At least I wasn’t the only one with a pissed-off woman.

Her voice almost came out as a whisper. “I want to take him down. He stole so much from me. I know I should head back to spend time with a sister I haven’t seen in years, but I want to take vengeance and kill him, and not in a one-clip way. I want to tie him up and torture him for years.”

Her declaration of wanting to kill the director made my blood rush to my pants. When I shifted to get more comfortable, Sophie noticed, and a knowing smirk came across her face.

“If it was a simple kill mission, I would set you up as a sniper and let you take him out. But we have to deal withYermushinfirst and stop him from giving away the codes. I don’t think the Director will be there. When we finish this mission, I will make sure you get your vengeance.”

At my declaration, Sophie threw her arms around me. “You mean it? You won’t kill him or hand him over to your brother on a silver platter?”

It would cause my brother issues if I didn’t hand him over. But, I would give Zack enough information to know the Director was dirty and make it look like he fled the country. That way, we could handle the Director the way we wanted for hurting the people whose lives we cared about.

“Yes.”

Sophie pressed her soft lips to my mouth. My body hummed with energy. I wanted to lay her down in the middle of the tarmac and have my way with her. I slipped my tongue into her mouth. It was pure pleasure to hear her moan against me. Needing to continue with the mission, I pulled back.

When I broke the kiss, we were both panting, and Sophie's eyes were filled with desire and hunger. I wasn’t the only one ready to throw down on the tarmac.

Needing to taste her again, I went in for another kiss, but I was interrupted by coughing.

Not caring if I was holding us up, I pressed in against Sophie, and the kiss was even hotter than the last one.

“Hey, they need to leave!” Antonio shouted.
