Ty nodded, histo ter to assimilate it “I’ll be there in a minute I just need a quick shower,” he said as he pulled off his shirt and headed for the bathroo a moment later

Zane turned and shut the bedroo when the storm would break More privacy and space was better than less with the combined personalities in this little escapade

He took the time to pull the couch out; then he went to the bedroo down at the two men Julian ake, and he stared up at hilazed Zane reached to take his pulse, checking it against his watch to h

“He won’t,” Julian whispered

Zane stared at hiave hi “I look forward to your next attempt He’ll tear you apart”

Julian didn’t respond, and Zane couldn’t read hi one of the glasses froht out his partner in the shower

After watching Ty through the wavering plastic for a long moment, Zane reached out and pushed open the curtain Ty jerked when the shower curtain squealed on its hooks It was obvious that Zane had startled him, which was an unusual occurrence in itself Zane stripped as Ty watched him, then stepped inside and closed the curtain behind hih Ty’s hair, sluicing the water drops away

Zane’s heart did a happy skip as he et tired of moments like this, when Ty proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Zane was thein his world “Tell me?”

Ty licked his lips, watching Zane even as the water beat down on theuarded when Zane started asking questions “Burns uses me on jobs he can’t put the Bureau on but the CIA doesn’t list as priority We call them Misfits”

Zane nodded, licking his lips

“And I know that he used to use you the same way”

Zane’s eyes shot up tohis breath He nodded “How?”
