height. He had to release Kat to do it but he stepped to the right to keep most of her blocked from the Snow’s view. He snarled, “Leave. I’ll be there in a moment.”
Snow hesitated but then backed out. He left the door open. Darkness tried to leash his temper but failed. He turned and looked at Kat. She stared at him and had to notice his attention on her breasts. They rose and fell rapidly with her breathing. A sheen of sweat coated her skin. He would have liked to take time soothing some of her tension but Snow would return.
“I’ll be back.” He reached out, lifted her and carried her to the table where he gently set her on top of it.
He strode across the room without a backward glance. He felt guilty leaving her in that condition though he couldn’t afford that useless emotion. He closed the door to the interrogation room. It was soundproof so she wouldn’t hear anything they said. He stepped closer and used his chest to push Snow back. It was a display of dominance but he was furious. He did make sure the front of his pants didn’t come in contact with the male. It would be awhile before his dick softened.
Snow stumbled back but righted, his fists clenching at his sides. “What the hell were you doing in there?”
“My job. Never argue with me in front of a prisoner.”
“You were about to mount her.”
“What is going on?” Justice turned the corner and stopped, apparently reading their body language.
“Darkness was touching the female,” Snow accused.
“Would you have preferred I beat on her? I would never treat one of them the way I do a male.” He straightened his shoulders and glared at Justice. “I wouldn’t have actually mounted her. She refused to tell me who she really works for. Unfulfilled sexual frustration can be more effective than inflicting pain, if done right. Do you have a problem with my tactics?”
Justice opened his mouth, closed it, and then sighed. He shook his head. “I trust you. You didn’t hurt her at all?”
“No. I don’t molest females.” He shot a dirty look at Snow. “Or beat on them or inflict any kind of pain on them.”
“Enough,” Justice stated. “I had Snow pull you out because we know who sent her. We got a call from Jessie’s father.”
“The Senator?” Darkness frowned. “What does the human government have to do with this? Is she military?”
Justice hesitated. “He has a friend with the FBI. It seems they sent an agent to Homeland today. We’re unclear of why she is here but we’re certain she is their agent.”
“The Senator couldn’t give you more details?” Darkness wanted to return to Kat and find out.
“We’re lucky we even learned they were sending someone in. Jacob’s friend knows Jessie lives here and was worried about her safety. He asked if she was in danger and if they could be of more assistance since only one agent had been assigned.” Justice paused. “He thought we’d requested one of their agents. We didn’t.”
Darkness crossed his arms over his chest, trying to think of why they’d secretly send an agent to Homeland. He couldn’t think of a reason.
Justice seemed equally at a loss. “Jacob and I discussed the matter. Do you remember when they sent agents here to question Jeanie Shiver? They weren’t happy with our refusal to hand her over to them. I’m having True and his mate transported to Reservation right now. Their helicopter should leave in twenty minutes.”
“You believe she came here to kidnap True’s mate to be handed over to the FBI?” Darkness was furious.
“Possibly.” Justice’s eyes gleamed with the same emotion. “It won’t happen.”
“I’ll escort her to the front gates and walk her out.” Darkness turned but Justice gripped his arm.
“Wait.”
Darkness hated the way his stomach churned. He faced Justice. “She caused no harm to us. You said she works for the FBI. It means she was given orders. They aren’t ones we agree with but I don’t believe she
