I snap my head back up and look at her beautiful face, her smile.

“Don’t you need to know, too?”

She shakes her head.

“You were drugged, Jax. Unconscious being dragged across the floor. I want these people to pay for what they did to you, yes. But, what happened that night does not impact our relationship. You did not cheat on me, Jax.”

“Fuck.” I hit my head back against the rest.

I am going to kill these assholes.

Sofia presses a kiss to my cheek. I’m not sure what the hell I did to deserve her love.

Running my fingers through her hair, I crash my lips over hers.

“I’ll find them and make them suffer for all the pain they’ve caused us, sweetheart.”

She pulls back, giving me a naughty grin that has my cock twitching.

“Good.”

“Can you email me the footage?” I ask.

“Yep, one sec.”

She climbs off my lap making a distance I hate. But, I have to get to the bottom of this, to move on and give Sofia all of me. Without it eating away at me every day.

“Done.”

My phone pings, I slide it out and forward it straight to Nikolai with a simple message.

J: We find them and we end them.

His reply is fast as I’m messaging Enzo, asking for information on Anna and anything he can find on these guys involved.

N: Fuck, Jax. Yes. I’ll see you at Mikhail’s meeting?

Shit.

I look at the time.

As I glance up, Sofia is watching me intently, leaning against the desk.

I stand up, feeling the warmth of her body as I place my hands on either side of her.

“I have to go. Mikhail’s called us in.”

Before I pull away, she surprises me by grabbing the chain of my necklace, holding on tightly.

“I love you, Jax.”

“I love you, tigritsa. You have no idea how much.”

“I have some bad news.” Mikhail clasps his hands in front of him on his desk as he looks around the room. “We lost three men last night in a clash with the Reapers. They were sporting high end weapons we haven’t seen them use before and tracking tech that almost exceeds our own. There seems to be more money coming in, and until we can figure out how and where it’s coming from, we need to kill on sight.” His fist balls and bounces against the oak surface with a thud that echoes through the room. “I’m done fucking around. They’re being spotted outside of homes now.”

Shit. I remember hearing the engines. “Yeah, boss. I think they’ve found my place, too.”

Nikolai turns and one of his blonde eyebrows raise before he mouths the word “shit” in my direction.
