Page 26 of Ivy and the Deathstalkers

I knew it was just a matter of time before I did, but that was fast. And to think, if those asshole mates of mine wouldn’t have showed up, I’d be sleeping right now and wouldn’t know for hours. Hell, I probably would have lost him again while I slept.

I add the new intel to his folder and copy it to my tablet. If it were just me involved, I’d already be revving up Scarlet. But the six deathstalkers sitting in my living room deserve to at least be present when the fucker is killed. I can give them that much. I won’t be giving them my kill though. I don’t care if we are mates.

When I walk back in they stop talking. I raise an eyebrow at them. “No secrets?”

As if they're one unit, one voice, they say, “No secrets.”

“I may know more about the prick than you do.” I smirk. I like having something over them. They did a lot of work to find this asshole. I like knowing I found him before they did.

“Pft. No one knows more about anyone than Beck and Cree,” Jax scoffs. He fuckingscoffsat me!

“Oh, yeah? Do you know where Shitface Stanley is?” I arch a brow at the nerds.

Six sets of eyes widen at my question.

“Are you saying you know where he is?” KC asks.

“I don’t know… Do you think it’s possible?” I cock my head at him. Me sharing my information with these sexy pricks hedges on his answer.

“I think you’re a good assassin, otherwise we would have heard of you. In our search for anyone connected to the killings of deathstalkers, we met a lot of assassins. You were never anywhere on our radar. If you’re that good, yeah. It wouldn’t surprise me if you know a lot more about him than we do.”

“Good answer.” Nodding my approval, I walk over to Cree and Beck. “Tablet.”

Beck holds out a tablet similar to my own. I hold mine above his, and touch a button, sending the information directly to his tablet.

The minute his tablet bings, he and Cree wrestle for it. I can't help but laugh.

KC asks, “What did you-”

Beck cuts him off. “This is unfucking real.” His fingers fly across the tablet as he absorbs all the information I have on our target.

Jax growls, “What?”

Cree answers, “She has some serious fucking intel on Stanley. I'm talking a fucking gold mine worth.”

Neo, Jax, and DJ all whistle. KC smiles and for some reason I stand taller at the pride in his eyes. I’ve never cared what anyone thought of me before, but knowing he sees me as a talented assassin has an emotion I’ve never felt before bubbling up in my chest.

“There’s more,” I say, knowing they haven’t seen the newest intel yet. “I know where he is.”

My mates erupt with exclamations and questions before becoming silent at one harsh word from KC. He sure has them fucking trained. Wonder if I could do that.

“Thought you boys might wanna come with me when I go get him.” I smirk.

“Oh we’re coming with you,” Jax mutters.

I scowl at the comment but am quickly distracted when Neo spins me around and slams his lips to mine.

His kiss is just as playful as he is, but still manages to make my knees weak. I’m no stranger to good sex, which includes good kissing. But no one has ever kissed me with the kind of passion Ifeel from Jax and Neo. I’m about to climb him like a fucking tree when we’re ripped apart. Or ratherhe’sripped away from me.

Gasping, I open my eyes and see KC holding Neo by the back of his neck. Damn. He’s strong.

Why are my panties suddenly so wet?

Maybe having mates won’t be so bad after all.

They’re sure doing wonderful things to my libido.
