Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 63: Jennifer
Part of Jennifer wanted to be a little hellion and push him. But the rest of her had a grudging respect for him. Here she'd thought he was the type to take what he wanted when it was offered. Instead, what he wanted was serious and potentially long-lasting. It was the kind of thing that would utterly change her life. He could say all he wanted was the opportunity, but she knew how this would go. She'd make time. He'd want more. And it would be up to her to rearrange her life to fit him.Jennifer didn't know if she had it in her. Hell, it wasn't even until after she'd left that Army that she got control of her life. Before then, her grandparents or social worker got to make her decisions. Then her commanding officer. The first real choice she'd made for herself, without feeling pressured into it, was going to work for Aegis Group."Hey?" Orion leaned forward, elbows on his knees. "Where'd you go?""Um..." She pushed up on one arm. "Maybe you're right.""Yeah? What makes you say
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 64: Bain
Thursday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.BAIN STARED AT THE front of the luxury hostel, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel.He'd done a few drive-bys of the place. It was quite possibly the most secure facility on the island that he'd seen. No one else employed quite as many hired men with guns.It was creeping past mid-afternoon.He hadn't seen much activity on the property, but that was standard for the island life. Most guests woke up late and stayed out until sunrise.Milan Esposito was no exception.Though she had vanished rather early last night.Damn her for making him wait.She didn't know it yet, but his time was valuable.Two figures strolled into view in the distance.Bain reached over and grabbed the binoculars off the seat next to him. With the high powered lenses, he could easily zoom in and get a better look.Milan glanced left and right before leaning against a man with loose, shoulder length hair. The couple kissed briefly before

Thursday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.JENNIFER WALKED TOWARD THE main house in a daze.What the hell had she just seen? What in the ever loving hell was that? When was it?She hadn't left Milan's side in the last two weeks. Scratch that, the last month. That meant the footage was from before her birthday party. Jennifer combed back through her memory, trying to recall a black, slinky dress. But there was nothing. Milan had been all about color lately.Only...Jennifer had taken three days off. It was on that last long weekend when Milan had been at home. Jennifer had the long weekend because they'd known the birthday trip was coming. Since Milan was going to be around her father and his security, a little time off had been reasonable. Jennifer hadn't needed to concern herself with Milan's safety. The head of security was top-notch.Fuck.It had to be that stretch of time. That was almost six weeks ago.But, why?Milan had a more than generous allowance f
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 66: Jennifer
Jennifer needed it analyzed. Normally, this was something she'd shoot up the chain of command to her boss. However, if Milan had committed a crime, that would put Aegis Group in the uncomfortable position of protecting criminal acts. Jennifer needed to have a plan in place before she made that call. She had to know all her options."Ready," Milan muttered.Jennifer glanced at her. Milan had the robe belted over her odd get up and her feet shoved into fuzzy Ugg boots."Orion is waiting for us. Come on."The walk from Milan's room to the security office was a silent one. A few other guests were around, but they took one glance and found somewhere else to be.Orion was waiting for them at the patio entrance to his office, looking grim. He held the door for them and closed it without saying a word. Jennifer blew out a breath once the door clicked shut."Okay." She gestured to the wicker chairs farthest from the desk. "Milan, tell me in your words what happened. Before you make
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 67: Orion
Thursday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.ORION FINISHED HIS REQUIRED half hour schmoozing at the cocktail bar. It couldn't have come at a worse time. Every Tuesday and Thursday he hosted this casual event. Many guests came just to talk to him. There was no getting out of it on short notice. Not without drawing more attention.Jennifer had opted to stay in his office talking over the weak points in their security with Mateo. Damn it, Orion should have been there with her. His ego said there was no one better at keeping his guests safe than himself. But that wasn't true. Mateo had around five years on Orion and had been an Army Ranger until three years ago. Mateo saw everything. His warm demeanor hid his struggle with the demons that had followed him from battlefronts the world over.Mateo would protect their guests with his life and smile while he did it.Orion could trust the man with Jennifer. He knew it, and yet it was hard to keep his mind on his guests while he m
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 68: Jennifer
Thursday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.JENNIFER MADE THE TREK back toward the main building less than twenty minutes later. She'd taken the quickest shower known to man. There was nothing like stress sweat to make a person reek. Dressed in simple, cropped yoga pants and a long tank top, she felt more herself.It was a stroke of luck this Bain guy had thought she was Milan twice now. Given how much he'd studied what she looked like, there was no way Jennifer would pass inspection if she and Milan were seen together. They were just lucky. For now.The throbbing music from the patio reached her ears. The dinner buffet was no doubt in full swing. Milan had already informed Jennifer she was eating in her room with her two newer friends, so there wasn't any need to worry about her for now. That would come later, when everyone left the hostel.They'd agreed earlier that plans to go out were a bad idea. Staying in until they'd handled the situation was best.Of course Mi
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 69: Jennifer
Jennifer watched Orion as he pushed up off the sofa and crossed to a panel she'd assumed was a dressed up fuse box. He pressed a button, and the doors opened on a dumbwaiter. Carefully, he reached in and lifted a heavily laden tray out."How many people are you feeding with that?"He grinned at her. "Wasn't sure what you'd pick, so I had them make a little of everything. Come sit at the table?"The dining table was a circular, wooden thing with deep scars. It looked like it had come out of someone's ancestral kitchen. The four chairs were mismatched yet sturdy.She had no doubt Orion was rolling in cash, yet this was how he chose to decorate his private space. It said something about him, though she didn't know what.He placed three dishes in the middle of the table, then handed her a smaller plate."I figure, we take what we want. Sound good?" He slid into the chair across from her."Yeah. You always have the best food here." And the finger foods they'd enjoyed on the bo
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 70: Jennifer
Intellectually, Jennifer knew she was damaged. That normal people didn't think or feel like she did. It made sense that she might heal past all of this someday, but she didn't see how."Jennifer?""Hm?""Answer me two questions?""Okay." She set her fork down, giving up the pretense of eating the cheesecake."Do you enjoy my company? Like today?"Her insides flooded with warmth. At every turn, he'd been attentive. They'd laughed. She'd never felt...special. Not like that. But it was more. He was easy to talk to about everything. Their youth. Combat history. The demons they'd brought back with them. They had a lot more in common than she'd ever realized."Yes," she finally said."Are you attracted to me?"She snorted at that question. It was the most ridiculous thing he could ask. "I'm pretty sure a heterosexual woman would have to be blind to not be attracted to you on sight. And even then, she'd hear you and would be done for."His gaze dropped to her mouth. "Oh, y
