the Enclave when you were due to check in, which is in two months.” Dravaggio dropped his voice and Ronin had to close his eyes and turn in the other direction. Fucking incubus was about to voice her into submission.
“Don’t make a liar out of me Ms. Ignis. Do what needs to be done at the Enclave. Royce and Ronin will escort you.”
Her eyes dropped half-mast and she slouched her head forward like she was being coaxed to sleep
“Okay.”
Her voice was dark and smoky and he realized he was nodding his head right along with her. Mesmerized by her, not the incubus. Her voice slid over the length of his body, loosening the tension in his muscles.
His brother cleared his throat, and it brought all occupants back to their senses.
“Can we please get back on track? I have a hot date tonight.” Royce spoke up from the position he was currently holding against the wall.
Ronin growled at his asshole brother. They’d never get her if he continued to fuck his way into depression. He knew what his twin was doing, and it was going to have the opposite effect if he kept at the games. They both had the same demon and dealt with it in different ways. But the time for sulking was over.
“Dravaggio, please continue, we don’t want to hold up the party in his pants.”
Royce chuckled low and pushed off the wall he was leaning against. He placed both hands on Belinda’s shoulder and turned her to face him.
“Why darlin, you want an invite to the party in my pants?”
It wasn’t playful Royce that had surfaced. It was dark Royce. Ronin watched the interplay between the two, and he saw the moment Belinda realized that he was no longer playful Royce, but serious Royce.
“Dumbass.”
“I heard that.”
“Good . Leave her alone so we can get the plans hashed out. I still have training after this.”
“Whatever big brother. Remember you want her just as much as I do if not more.”
Ronin closed their channel.
Belinda lifted her head, like she was about to say something but then thought better of it.
“Captain, you were saying.”
“I was saying that the five of you will work together. Dietrich will be air support and run retrieval when it’s needed. Gabe is working on gathering as much information as he can, but this assignment will start in three weeks’ time….. Jes.” Dravaggio looked in her direction.
“Yes.” Her voice was firm and determined. She was ready to start a war over her man. And Ronin knew she’d need that anger and her strength to get through whatever fire they were about to walk in to.
“Ronin is going to drag you through the mud with the help of Dietrich for the next three weeks. Pay attention, because I am sending you in front and center to retrieve Draven. Are we clear?”
“Crystal.”
“I’m warning you now if I pull you out, you better get your ass to the pick-up, or things will go dark. Understand.”
She gave a firm nod, but Ronin had to wonder if she actually knew what dark meant. If she got left behind, there would be no search and rescue, no attempt to get either of them back. Things had started to heat up for all the units, and not just theirs. Everyone was trigger happy and it made them all anxious.
Dravaggio laid out the rest of the plan. Team one consisted of just Jesminda with team two for ground support. That consisted of himself, Royce and Belinda. Team three was air and telecommunications. Gabe had already started to gather what they needed. No one knew how they were going to find out where Draven went or even how the job was going to get done. But the goal was clear. Retrieve Draven Stone at all costs.

B elinda stepped from the shower and grabbed her towel. She was tired, bone tired. Dravaggio made it clear that until they could get all their residences safe that they were all to stay on base. Which meant she was surrounded on all three sides. Jes was in a lower level of suites that housed family. The Shadow Unit was generously funded. Each room
