by Zak when the others return.”
    Luca chuckled as if he could understand Ryder’s dilemma. He caught Jade’s gaze and nodded then turned to look out of the window. “This isn’t the way to the Coalition,” he said.
    “We’re not going back there,” Jade replied.
    “Really?” Luca asked. Was that approval on his face? “That’s where they expect you to go.”
    “We know,” she stated simply.
    “This just gets better and better,” Luca complimented. “So, where to?”
    “Sorry, you may be working for the other side. We can’t disclose our destination until you get a thorough pat down. We have to make sure you’re not rigged with any listening devices or a way to contact the others,” Jade said.
    “You don’t trust me?” The way that Luca batted his eyelashes did not fool Jade at all.
    “No,” she responded. “But don’t worry. I’ll make sure I’m the one that checks you over.”
    “Now I wish I’d planted something just to see how well you’ll do.”
    She brushed her fingers over his arm before leaning closer. “I’m very dedicated to your safety, Mr. Perez,” she stated, falling back into her role of agent and rescuer.
    “I’m glad,” Luca told her.
    Jade knew that they weren’t very far from where they’d hidden the other van. She grabbed hold of the seat in front of her just as the SUV slid to a stop. Luca, not knowing to brace himself, fell into her.
    She was really enjoying this operation.
    “Let’s go, kiddies,” Cole called.
    Jade popped the back hatch open and climbed out. Once on solid ground she could stretch her legs. She reached to help Luca get out since it was harder for him as he was bigger than her.
    She didn’t let go when they were both free. Gripping his shoulder, she led him to the van. She opened the back door while motioning for Luca to sit down. Jade followed him in, making sure to remain close.
    “You know the plan. Stick with it. If anyone has any problems or sees anything suspicious, call. We’ll be back there in half an hour,” Cole said.
    “Got it,” she answered just before Cole slammed the door closed. She turned to Luca. She hadn’t been kidding about checking him over to make sure that the other team hadn’t put a tracker or anything on him. “Do you want me to check you over or are you just going to hand me whatever device they have on you?” she asked sweetly.
    Luca laughed. “I have no idea what you mean.”
    “Have it your way,” she told him. Standing, she pulled him up with her. As much as she would have loved to tease him a little more, she did have a job to do. She ran her hands down his neck to his shoulders, arms and hands. Crouching, she also checked his boots, legs and waist.
    Luca moved side to side, and the evidence that he was enjoying her manhandling of him was obvious. His erection was so close to her face that she could have leaned forward a little and touched it with her mouth.
    “Like this?” she taunted.
    Luca nodded. “More than you know. I was attracted to you right from the start, but seeing you tonight in action—wow.”
    She hummed, pleased with his admission. “Maybe if you’re a good boy I’ll…” Jade pulled a small silver locator chip from Luca’s belt. “Gotcha!”
    He groaned. “I didn’t think you’d find it.”
    “We’re a lot better than you think,” she told him.
    “I didn’t mean it as an insult. That was the best place I could think to hide it,” he said sincerely. He cupped her face, pulling her up to stand in front of him. “I’m serious, I admire you and your partner. You’ve got skills and really showed them off. It couldn’t have been easy to work with new team members for the first time and pull all this off.”
    Staring into his dark eyes, Jade felt just a little lost. She hadn’t even known this man for forty-eight hours but she felt a deep connection already. She wondered if that was how other shifter and human relationships started. If the romantic feelings were
