“Are you going out there alone?”

Sloane wasn’t sure how to respond. It was like he’d tried to leave every trace of emotion from his voice and failed.

“That’s the goal, and it’s why we never have more than one Vigilante out there at a time. We’re being careful to keep the hype going and the rumors strong. If we went as a group, it would only create a situation where the bad guys loaded up on weapons like they would when confronting another gang or their enemies. That’s not our intention.”

Fastening her suit but minus her mask, Sloane grabbed her weapons and holstered them. It was bizarre to have someone there while she got ready, but when she stole a glance at Luke, it was surprising to see how intense he was.

“Remembering your time as a Marine, professor?”

When he took the few steps in her direction, Sloane wasn’t sure what to expect and was surprised when Luke pulled her against him for a hard kiss. Pleasure mixed with pain and lust exploded deep inside her belly, her suit becoming way too hot and tight.

Even if in the back of her mind she knew time was against them, Sloane indulged in one more lick before Luke released her.

“Don’t you dare get distracted in the field, babe.”

“Babe?” With a chuckle, she shook her head and went back to the command center where Lance and Devin waited.

The hacker threw her a set of keys. “Take the unmarked SUV. The Bugatti is starting to make waves on social media. I’ve programmed the best way in the GPS, which includes some off-road and the SUV has the best grip.”

Luke stood beside Lance, and she hid a smile at the sight of both men with their arms crossed.

Sloane pocketed the keys, pulled on her hood, and attached the mask.

Devin slurped from an oversize cup, the least stressed of them. “I’ll be manning the comms, unless I go get some food. There aren’t many cameras, but as Lance said, support will be on standby. I’m ready when you are, darling.”

The modulator was on when she spoke next. “I’m ready.”
