her.
She walked into my outstretched arms, curling against me.
“She’ll come around,” I whispered, kissing the top of her head.
Meeka nodded.
I didn’t like that she was hurting. She had tried so hard to impress Jay, and unfortunately, after a couple of wrong choices, it blew up in her face. She brought Violet home but possibly lost a friend. Their friendship had been rocky before. Now it was barely existent.
I could feel the eyes from our friends burning into me. What was I doing? Were Meeka and I a couple? Blah. Blah. Blah. Meeka and I were close but we had never let our friendship come to light until a couple months ago. No one had seen us together since we saved Jay’s twin and revealed that we had been undercover. It was a shit move and we should have told our bosses but we didn’t want to jeopardize anyone’s lives.
Throats cleared and conversations continued.
That’s what I thought.
I wasn’t explaining what was going on between Meeka and me. My brothers would ask, it was a given, but I wouldn’t tell them. Not until we were good and ready.
Angel whistled, silencing the room. “I know we haven’t met up in a while. We’re going to change that.” He looked down at Jay. “Right?”
She rolled her eyes but nodded.
He whispered something in her ear, causing a flush of pink to caress her chinks.
“If you rolled your eyes at me, Meeka—” I kissed her cheek “—I’d spank your ass, not caring in the least if anyone saw.”
“Somehow that doesn’t surprise me,” she muttered, leaning into my side.
“You know me well.”
“I do.” She smiled.
Even her smiles made my heart flutter. I was a man—our hearts didn’t fucking flutter.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked, frowning.
“Because you are driving me crazy.” The fact alone that we almost had sex was enough to force me to drink. But her innocence sent blood shooting straight to the tip of my dick.
“Good. It’s about time you had some feels.”
“Feels? I always have fucking feels.”
She laughed, elbowing me in the ribs. “Nope. It’s because of me that you have them now.”
“Are you teasing me, woman?” I feigned shock, gripping my chest.
“Maybe.” She winked.
I opened my mouth to reply when a large form came into my view. Or several of them, actually. My brothers stood around me, but Angel was the first to speak.
“Meeka, will you excuse us please?” he asked, keeping his gaze locked with mine.
“Of course.” She gave my hand a squeeze and headed to her sisters.
“What’s up?” I crossed my arms under my chest.
“We leave in a week,” Angel mumbled.
“How long?” It was the same conversation every single time, and it was one that I would have for the rest of my career. I wasn’t ungrateful but sometimes I needed a rest.
“A month at least. Charles is making waves. You go in and do what you do best,” Angel ordered.
“Wait …” I shook my head. “I’m not going with you?”
“No, and before you give me shit, you know why.” Angel continued on but I didn’t hear him.
This would be the first mission that I wouldn’t be involved in. I never thought being undercover trying to bring Charles down would take me away from them.
“But we’re brothers. How can you not expect me to go?” I met everyone’s gaze before looking back at Angel.
“You know why you can’t go,” he said slowly, his tone firm.
Fucking guy. “And everyone else?”
“No one else knows except for us, and it needs to stay that way,” Angel reminded me.
“I’m still trying to convince this fucker to tell us what is happening,” Dale said, rolling his eyes.
“That won’t happen because you can’t keep your mouth shut.” Stone punched him in the shoulder.
“We’ll tell you,” Angel interrupted their banter. “Just not right now.”
“Then why the hell are we here?” Dale looked over his shoulder, his brows narrowing.
Max had been quiet the whole time, not making a peep
