Lily’s throat had gone dry, but her palured General Grange Lee was not going to be happy to see her, considering the Wild Riders was supposed to be a secret organization And just how overnment intend to keep this? How much of a liability was she? Was Mac’s job in jeopardy? She hoped not

The back door was an elevator, actually Mac pushed a series of buttons on the keypad, and the doors opened They stepped inside, and Mac entered more codes The door closed and he pushed a button Finally, the elevator startedup

"Damn That’s some security"

"We can’t let just anyone in here"

"They saw you at the gate They know you’re co"

"Never hurts to take extra precautions"

Okay, then Now she was really confused about what she’d find when the doors opened Soh tech military operation? Guns drawn and pointed at her? She licked her desert-dry lips and prepared for the worst

The elevator lurched to a stop and the doors drew open

Hard rock hout the house And leaning against the as a in to describe him

Six foot four at least, with sandy brown hair, a T-shirt stretched tight over an impossibly muscled chest that led down to a lean waist, tris encased in camos He was tan, with surfer boy blue eyes and a full, sensual ruous with the rest of his physique

Lily was eous

"You’re in deep shit, Mac," the guy said with a smirk, in a voice that melted her panties on the spot Deep and oh so dark

"Suck rinning When she looked back at Spencer, he was, too Okay, so that uyspeak Mac stepped off the elevator, still holding onto Lily’s hand

"This is Lily"

Spencer raised a brow as he looked her over froe know about her?"

Nice to h "Oh, man, you are in deep shit"

She felt invisible And irritated "I am present, you know" She stuck out her hand "Shall we try this again? Hi, Spencer, I’m Lily Nice to meet you"

Spencer nodded as he looked from Mac back to Lily, then shook her hand "Your lady has some balls I like that

Nice to meet you too, Lily"

"Spence is rude, crude and completely without manners We’ve tried our best to ith him, but he’s hopeless"

Lily turned at the deep voice beside her An older e Lee, Lily

Welco a lot less intimated by General Lee than she had been by Spencer "Thank you"

"Spencer, go do so that doesn’t require your presence in this ie said

"Yeah, yeah" Spencer turned and walked away, giving Lily a gliht ass She blinked and turned back to Mac

"Don’t worry He’s the worst of the bunch," Mac said

"There’s rinned "A few"

"Any word on Toe looked at Lily

"I already told her everything and she was there when the call came in You can talk in front of her"

"That’s not the deal here and you know it"

Mac shrugged "It couldn’t be helped"

"It waslike she needed to intercede on Mac’s behalf "I did so really stupid and ran off with the virus The only way Mac could stophe could to keep it froive up until I knew the truth"

"It didn’t go down like that at all," Mac said

"Itto lie to Grange in order to protect her

Grange frowned and crossed his arms "Guess we’ll sort this all out later"

"About To low and staying out of cell contact because he’s been compromised"

"Let’s hope that’s all it is"

They started walking, and Lily followed them The floor they were on was laid out like a norh every room was enormous in size Howscreen television and state of the art stereo systee kitchen, too Lily was in awe The floors ood throughout the house Everything was open and expansive, with a loft and railings overhead leading to a second floor There was also a second elevator that led upstairs She heard noise and voices up there--and music, but so far she’d only met Spencer

"Let’s talk in e said, leading them down the hall and into another room
