She sighed, handed the gun to one of the guys, and walked toward Trent. He swept her up in his arms and held her tightly against his chest.

“Jesus Christ, I lost it when I got the call.”

“Everything’s okay.” She rubbed his back.

“What the hell happened?” Trent yelled.

A guard said, “The fucker came in Jason’s car and waited for the right time to come in the house. We started firing at him, but he got in.”

“I want to talk to Jason,” Trent said.

One of the guards spoke up. “I have to tell you he didn’t know. He’s freaking out about it and ready to take Mitchell out. He finally calmed down when they told him you were okay and Mitchell was taken care of. He’s now getting the men that were hit medical treatment.”

“Who took him down?” Trent asked.

“Miss Aria.”

Trent grasped her shoulders, bent down, and looked into her face. “What the fuck have we talked about? Were you in your office?”

She nodded.

“Did you have time to get where we wanted you?”

She nodded again.

“This won’t ever happen again. Do you understand me?” Trent said.

They always told her to hide until the threat was taken care of. Hell, she knew she was in deep shit. She’d never heard that tone of voice from him before, and it sounded deadly. He didn’t scare her, but she just knew she’d be getting punished later.

Mateo raced in and skidded when he saw them. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her. “Are you okay, baby?”

“I am. Everything is okay now.”

“She’s the one who shot him,” Trent said.

Aria felt Mateo stiffen, and then he leaned back. “Do you want to tell us why you put yourself in harm’s way?”

She wanted to roll her eyes but knew better. “Can we talk about this later? There’s a dead guy in my office. What are we going to do about it?”

Neither man seemed thrilled with her blasé attitude.

“Guys, I want a few of you to roll him up in a tarp. We’ll take him to the lake after dark, weigh him down, and let him sink,” Trent said.

“No police involvement?” she asked.

Mateo shook his head. “No, it will just mess things up, and he didn’t have a family. It’s better this way.”

She nodded. “I think I’ll go to our bedroom and shower while the mess is cleaned up. I hope he didn’t ruin the rug I just bought.”

The men looked at her like she was crazy, and it took all her strength not to laugh.

“We’ll be up in a bit.”

She nodded and walked up the stairs.

After her shower, she pulled on her robe, sat in bed, and rubbed lotion over her legs. She looked up when the door opened, and her men walked in.

Here it comes.
