Conner took the opportunity to stand behind Jeremy, so close there was barely a centimeter between them. “That’s okay too. I’ll just go see if Allison wants to play.”

Jeremy stood, coming against Conner’s chest in the process. Conner slid an arm around him, holding him in place. “Stay away from Ally.”

“Why?” Angel couldn’t quite see, but she’d guess his mouth was against Jeremy’s ear. “She likes me. I like her. It’s a mutual attraction she isn’t denying.”

“Leave her alone.” Jeremy’s voice was dark, angry.

“Oh, I see.” Conner pulled Jeremy closer to him. “You like her.”

“Yes, so stay the fuck away from her.”

“Hmmm.” Conner’s head dipped closer to Jeremy’s. They were almost the same height, Conner maybe an inch or so taller than Jeremy. “Why don’t we enjoy her together, then?”

“What?No.”

“I think you’d enjoy it.” Conner’s hand slid back and forth against Jeremy’s abdomen. “You don’t want to admit you like me, but you can do whatever you want when we’re together with Allison.”

Jeremy was quiet for a long minute. Angel listened, afraid to move. The sexual tension in the air was so thick, it would have needed something sharper than a knife to cut it.

“Ally’s a good girl.” Jeremy sounded a little out of breath. “She’d never do something like that.”

“Good girls can doverybad things, Agent Bradford.Very bad things. Think about it. I’m going to fuck her with or without you. If you want to join us, all you have to do is tell me. I can enjoy you, you can enjoy me, and we can both enjoy her. It’s up to you. But someone is getting fucked tonight.”

Angel watched, fascinated, as Conner pulled Jeremy’s face to his and kissed him. It wasn’t soft or delicate. It was hard and passionate, full of fire and the promise of so much more. When he released Jeremy and strode back inside, Jeremy caught the railing to keep from stumbling.

Fuck, there was no way she’d be able to resist that if she were single. Now she understood Conner’s appeal. The man was a walking, talking sex machine. Sex oozed out of him. Jeremy was a fool to turn that down, straight or not.

She kept perfectly still until Jeremy went back inside. Why was he in Conner’s room to begin with? She got up and went inside her own suite. The lights were on in the front room, but Kade was nowhere to be found. He might have gone next door to meet with everyone while she slept. That made more sense than Jeremy showing up unannounced on Conner’s doorstep.

She did her business in the bathroom and checked her phone for messages. Nothing. You would think Kade would at least text her or leave a message. He knew how anxious she was about news of Matthew. Pulling off her shirt, which had dried cum on it, she fished around in her overnight bag and pulled on one of Kade’s old t-shirts. It was huge, but comfortable.

A knock sounded on her door. Maybe Jasper heard her moving around and had orders to bring her next door when she woke. That had better be the case, at least, or Kade was going to get an earful.

She opened the door, and indeed, Jasper stood there, but he didn’t look happy. A young blonde girl wearing the hotel staff uniform was behind him, a pleasant smile on her face. Angel frowned. She took a better look and saw the girl had a gun pressed into Jasper’s back. Shit.

“Please, Mrs. Kincaid, if we could come in?” Her question was way too perky. Cheerleader perky. “I really don’t want to have to shoot him.”

That got Angel moving. She stepped aside and allowed them to come into the hotel room. Jasper’s gun was tucked into the waistband of the girl’s skirt. Angel knew he carried a spare tucked away under his pants leg, right above his ankle. It was small but would get the job done.

“Mr. Rivera sent me to invite you to meet your son.” The girl’s name badge read Mandy. It was probably her real name. Angel was betting she worked here and had informed the man who had her son she was here.

The whistle of wind caught her and Jasper both off guard. It wasn’t until Jasper went down that she understood Mandy had shot him in the back. She went to move toward him, but Mandy stopped her. She tossed duct tape in her direction.

“Please cover his mouth and tape his hands and feet together.”

Angel’s gaze flickered between the tape in her hands to Jasper and back to Mandy.

“Hurry up. If you want to meet Mateo, we must go soon. The car won’t wait forever. I will be forced to shoot you if you don’t agree to come. I don’t want to have to do that.”

Angel got down on her knees. “I’m so sorry, Jasper.”

He grunted, his eyes zeroing in on his pant leg where the gun lay hidden. Angel nodded and tore off a piece of the duct tape and placed it over his mouth. She made quick work of his hands and moved to his feet, blocking Mandy’s view as she collected the small gun and slipped it down her bra with one hand while winding the tape around his feet with the other. It wasn’t comfortable, but she managed to get it settled before she stood, grateful she’d changed into the monstrously large shirt.

“Now, I’m going to put the gun away while we walk out into the hall and get on the elevator. I have men waiting at the elevator, so if you think about overpowering me, they will shoot you dead.”

True to her word, men waited at the elevator. Dark haired men who looked like they meant business. She wasted no time in getting into the elevator, afraid Kade or one of the others would come out. She had no doubt they’d murder any one of them. Hell, Angel didn’t know if they meant her harm or not, but she was putting her faith in God that they really would take her to her son. If only to be able to taunt Kade they had his wife and his son. She was banking on Rivera’s need to torture his nemesis more than anything else. He was a sick bastard. This way, if he wanted to torture someone, she’d make sure it was her and not her baby boy.

They got off on the third floor and took the stairs down to the kitchens, where they went out a back exit. A dark SUV waited for them. Angel was hustled inside with Mandy and the two men who had been waiting at the elevators.
