shit Finn has in place, but they did. Until we lock everything down and mobilize our resources, I’m gonna need you to keep the woman and her son off the grid.”
    Luke nodded, understanding the implications of a security breach of that magnitude. “Copy that. How long are we talking here?”
    â€œCouple of days,” Will assured him. “Few weeks, max.”
    â€œA few—” Luke pulled his phone away from his ear and forced himself to take a deep breath and bite back the curses that came to his lips. He had a death grip on his phone when he put it back to his ear. “I’m supposed to be in Moscow next week. You tellin’ me I’m off that mission?”
    â€œI’ll send one of the other guys instead,” his commander replied. “No need for you to worry about it.”
    Luke ground his back teeth. He’d busted his ass for five years to earn the trust and admiration of his commander—a man he respected the hell out of and one of the few people whose good opinion he actually gave a damn about. The fact that he’d been selected for the Moscow mission was a vote of confidence that spoke volumes. Besides that, the less time he spent with Sarah Scoffield, the better it’d be for both of them.
    â€œRogan? You still there?”
    Luke blew out a harsh breath. “Yes, sir, Commander. I’m here.”
    â€œThis is priority one for you. You get me?”
    Luke glanced over into the SUV at Eli, who was still out cold in the back seat, his young face unlined with worry or concern now—unlike last night when he’d been running for his life. And then there was Sarah, the woman who even now was looking at him with those wide dark eyes filled with tentative, fragile trust.
    Shit.
    Even if he wanted to bail, he realized there was no way he could. They needed him. Hell, aside from those he’d fought alongside, they were probably the only people who ever had. And he wasn’t about to let them down.
    â€œSo if we’re not coming in,” Luke continued, “where am I supposed to take them?”
    â€œYour call,” Will told him. “Just make sure it’s somewhere we don’t have on record in case this bastard has dug deep enough to unearth our property holdings.”
    There was only one place Luke could think of that would be secure enough to keep Sarah and Eli safe and wasn’t in the Alliance’s records. “I got a place in mind. But I’ll need a care package for the Scoffields if this is going to take that long. Anyone out in this area?”
    â€œI’ll have Finn put something together and get it to you ASAP,” Will assured him.
    â€œCopy that. Rogan out.”
    â€œWhere are we going?” Sarah asked when he hung up.
    â€œHome.” He opened the passenger door to the SUV and extended a hand to her to help her climb back in.
    She took his hand, her fingers cool in his grasp, and turned those soulful eyes up to his. “So, we’re going back to Bakersville after all?”
    â€œNot your home,” Luke corrected her with a shake of his head, hoping he was making the right call. “I’m taking you to mine.”

Chapter Five
    Jacob Stone glanced over his shoulder where he’d left the lovely Ms. Holt panting and sighing in her seat, her black pencil skirt still up around her waist where he’d shoved it in his haste to get between her thighs. She’d seemed a little shocked when as soon as the private jet was at cruising altitude, he’d very bluntly admitted he wanted to fuck her. But then she’d come at him like a lioness on the prowl. And damn but the woman was just as accommodating when it came to sex as she was in the office, letting him do to her whatever the hell he wanted.
    Oh, yeah, this is going to work out famously....
    If his cell phone hadn’t rung a moment before, he would still be balls deep inside her, but that would have to wait. This was
