JASON

Her cheeks dust with pink. Sean and Michael share a heated look. Kai squeezes Aislin's hand, and she nods a tiny bit. I watch all of their reactions and my anger flares even more. Was I the only one that cared that they had been watched this whole time? Apparently, yes. The Druids were thinking with their dicks, and Aislin was thinking with her heart. Kai only cared about Aislin’s safety and happiness. Pushing off the wall, I glide closer as the Valkyrie clears her throat.

"Last night, I was moving along the edge of the cliff, yes… I had followed you from the airport. I had just begun to move to the rear of the house when the lights came on at the house across the water." Kai's gaze grew interested as she described where she had been going. He glances at me, neither of us missing that she had been heading to the area with the bedrooms. The Druids had shifted slightly at the revelation, only Aislin was still relaxed.

"I would have not thought anything of it, but as I looked across the water, just as the lights went back out, a man came out and stood in the darkness. His focus was on this house. One of my gifts is the ability to read a man's heart, which allows me to make my choices on the battlefield. That man standing in the darkness has a heart as dark as the night sky. I was moving to try to get a better view of him, and he must have seen me, because he moved inside. He left under cover of darkness. I went over there today to try to figure out who the threat to you was." Aislin sees her eyes dart between the men at her sides and a smile blossoms across her face, one that causes Kai to bark out a laugh. Raven's startled gasp has Sean and Michael glaring at him, which causes him to laugh more.

"I doona think this is a laughing matter, man," Sean grits out, leaning forward to glare at him. Michael's eyes are on Aislin, narrowed in concentration. Whatever he saw has him shaking his head at her.

"Doona fash yerself, brother. He is laughing at his woman and whatever hairbrained scheme she is plotting," Michael says quickly, trying to settle Sean down.

Raven looks at the woman across from her who had begun to giggle and smiles slightly. She had no idea what is going on, but she likes our dark-haired beauty.

"Can we please get back to the important matter at hand? Twice we have been watched without our knowledge." My growl bites through the air and sobers them all in an instant. "Did you find anything in your search of the house?"

"No, nothing personal. The house even smelled like nothing."

I pull my new phone from my pocket and insert the sim card I had picked up from a shop as we had watched the headquarters building. Finally, I would have service and data, no more hunting down a computer. I just wish I had thought to pick up one week ago, after I had been rescued. Turning the phone on, I start the process of getting it ready.

"I'll email the others, and maybe we can find the owner of the house. It might lead us to finding those in the Order here."

We continued to talk long into the night. Raven yawned first, as she stood to stretch her body. Sean and Michael's eyes glazed as her back arched. Unconsciously, they both shifted forward.

"Why don't we retire for the night?" Jason moves closer and says, "Raven, if you follow me, I can show you to a room."

She smiles at me and murmurs goodnight to the men. The Druids stand as she moves away, their gazes never leaving her. They are so focused on her, they missed the grins on our faces.

"Come, Sparrow. I need to hold you close." Kai takes my hand and pulls me up, throwing his arm over my shoulder and tucking me close. "Sleep well, my friends." He chuckles and I giggle as I glance back at them smiling.

Sean and Michael stand, staring at us for a moment, and then they both start moving to the hall. I lead Kai to our room on the left left, and as the men turn right, they see Jason emerge from a room that was in between his and Kai's. Looking at them, he grins, "I hope you sleep well, my friends."

Eyebrows draw low as they glare at him, and the others, as they chuckle. "What are you all going on about?" Michael growls.

I answer, "Nothing, boys. Sweet dreams."

I tug Kai's hand and shake my boobs at him just inside the room. It has him growling and rushing me. The door slams behind him, and the tinkling sound of my laughter echoes down the hall.

Sean's head cocks and he shakes it slightly before he turns and moves to his room. "Crazy idjits" echoes down the quiet hall as his door closes.

Michael opens his mouth and quickly snaps it closed. It wasn't worth it, and he was tired. Turning into his room, he takes one last look down the hall at her door. Jason stands inside his room, dragging his fingers through his hair. Just as he moves to lie down, his phone chimes, a message from Nestor. He has a lead that he was checking on and he would call in the morning. Should I come help you? Jason stares at the screen waiting. No, it is better if I talk to them alone. Besides I can take care of myself, old friend. Get some rest. I think you're going to need it. Jason lays down. He hasn't slept in days. It isn't long before he is dreaming of a petite redheaded beauty. She dances through his mind, calling to him and his beast.
