There was that tug he hadn’t expected, the one that let him know this was his home, too. He shook Riley’s hand. “You’re not done with me yet. I’ve got this one last job, and it could take a good long while. Hell, by the time I get home, my brother might have burned the place down.”

Zep wouldn’t mean to. He was just a dumbass who couldn’t seem to stay out of trouble to save his life. He was a human Mouse Trap game, specifically the little ball that through no real fault of its own caused all those traps to fall into place. More than once he’d picked his younger brother up at the jailhouse with Zep scratching his head and wondering what the hell had happened.

He would have to deal with that all over again. Then there was Seraphina and her wretched taste in men, and his momma’s penchant for shooting people.

Maybe he should stay here.

“I thought you were taking a vacation,” he said to Riley. “That usually means crawling into some woman’s bed, not helping a buddy move.”

“Maybe I’ve grown over the years,” Riley mused. “Sharla can wait. Or was it Charmaine? Champagne?” He waved it off. “I can have sex whenever I want. Apparently my time with you is running short. So I thought we could hang and do manly shit. Then I walk in and we’re talking about your tender feelings. Landon, you totally should have been a relationship counselor.”

Shane tossed him the bird. “Fuck you. It’s an op. He’s got to watch her but not look like he’s watching her.”

Riley nodded. “He should totally fuck her.”

Declan shrugged. “It’s the best way. Can’t lose track of her if you’re on top of her. Also, she can’t take a bullet if you’re on top of her. It really works all the way around. And she’s pretty cute. I don’t see the problem.”

Wade frowned Declan’s way. “Morals.”

Dec looked around like he didn’t understand. “Yes, the moral of the story is if you’re sleeping with her, she’ll probably do what you say in the field.”

“I meant do you have any morals, asshole. What about her feelings?” Wade asked.

“I thought she would be feeling an orgasm,” Declan replied. “I don’t see what’s wrong with that. Unless…”

Remy rolled his eyes and took a long drag off his beer. “I can give her an orgasm, dumbass. What Wade is saying is that it’s not fair to sleep with her when I don’t intend to hang around. I’m always upfront and honest. If I sleep with a woman, I tell her what I’m willing to give and what I can’t. I’m leaving soon.”
