I’ those stabbing pains a lot more whenever I see people in love

I’ve always been so focused on my career in the FBI, but in the past year or two, I don’t know… sos in my life

Would I be happier if I was married with a little bundled up ball of joy like that of my own? Maybe Probably…

But this is good too!

I shake those unhelpful thoughts out of ame

“Come on, Lily,” I whisper to ot three killers to catch”

I turn back to the file on the passenger seat of the car and seeon the cover

The Kirk Brothers

I’ve been chasing these bastards for years I finally built a case and got warrants for their arrests, but now I can’t find them anywhere

Montana is the twenty-ninth state I’ve been to while looking for these guys At this point, I’ll chase them to the moon to catch their scaly asses

I take a deep breath and sit back inas I play the video It’s froo, but it’s the last known location of any of the Kirks

It’s a grainy black and white security video that the htti lass roof of the fire station and disappears inside

My heart is pounding as I watch The footage only gets a little bit of the station in the distance Most of it is cut off, except for the roof I can see the occasional flash that I know is a streaon’s mouth

A few tense on hobbles out of the roof, looking beaten and bruised He flaps his large wings and flies off

And nobody has seen him since

I turn the phone off and stare atto chase these guys? It’s been ten years I’m tired

“Until the end,” I whisper to myself Life isn’t always fun Soet the monsters off the streets and keep society safe for that cute little bundled up kid who just passed

The Kirk brothers - Aylwin, Reginald, and Sperling are the worst kind of monsters They’ve co, terroris others Their ulated to the United States They don’t respect borders, flying through countries at will, and have bribed governs lobal politics for the US since before I was born

Sometimes I just wish I didn’t have to be the one to sacrifice everything

I take a deep breath, push down those unhelpful thoughts, and step out of the car, right into a pile of snow

“Shit!” I say as I slam the door closed Why couldn’t they have last been spotted in Hawaii?

My pulse starts racing as I walk toward the fire station I’ve learned to followme to the place

I walk in, kick the snow off lass roof is gone, obviously I see they replaced it with steel instead Maybe in case they’re expecting Sperling to come back?

I have a uys Why was he here? Why were they fighting? But uys that they can send a vicious bloodthirsty dragon packing with his tail between his legs?

“Hello,” a good-looking fireot blond hair and blue eyes and a body that looks like it could bench press a dragon “Can I help you?”

I narrowa woets the best result

“Are you here to buy a calendar?” he asks as he glances around “Because I think we’re all sold out”

“A calendar?” I hiss in an I’-amused voice “No I’m from the FBI”

I flash hie and his Adam’s apple does a little jump as he ss

“What’s your name?”

“Westin”

“Well, Westin I have so Kirk’s dragon burst through the roof?”

His face stills as he stares atthat I’h I really wouldn’tone of those too)

“You better talk to the Chief,” he finally says with a shake in his voice

“I guess I should,” I say in a firm voice “Where is he?”

“In his office,” he says as he runs a nervous hand through his blond hair “In the back”

“I’ll take you there,” he says

“No I’ll go by myself I want to take a look around first”

And I want to catch hiet anshen you’re talking to souard

I walk past the truck, careful to step around the gear that’s placed on the floor, ready to jump into at the sound of a bell

For so as I walk to the office in the back The air feels electric as I get closer Ifor For what I’ve alanted I’oing to be behind bars Him and his two evil brothers

I peek into the office, but I’m not prepared for what I see

Sitting at the desk is the uy outside, Westin, was hot, but this guy is scorching

The silver fox has salt and pepper hair and a gorgeous face that’s concentrated on the paper in front of hi furiously onto it I take a few seconds to quickly look hi forearms to his broad shoulders that I would like to take a ride on

I’ve always been uys, but never like this My heart is pounding My pal to touch or be touched by another person before Not like this

I’m thirty-three but I haven’t datedactually I’in and have barely even kissed an

other man before I’ve been focused on work and that’s it

But soet an irresistible urge to strut into his office, sit on his lap, kiss him on the lips, and then see what happens next

Instead, I s hard, trying to get back into FBI hten my back This is not the time for whatever the hell this is I have to stay professional even ifI have to stay focused even if I can only focus on thatround arms And I have to stay fir into jelly

His face twitches and he starts coughing He grabs a glass of water off his desk and downs the entire thing, but it doesn’t stop hih after

I’ off on watching this guy in a coughing fit Every tihten He’s so fucking hot

I try to ignore the heat flowing through hts But the only thoughts co to me are erotic and dirty

I want to be on his desk withas he steps between s and introduces me to his fire pole

No Not happening Kirk brothers Sperling Aylwin Reginald Your life’s work Focus

Bad guys off the street Deadly dragons Big sexy biceps Those lips…

“Oh, fuck it,” Iforward
