I take their legs out and roll over them to place a bullet in each of their heads as I roll by their writhing bodies. I reholster my guns and pull my rifle from my back.
“Nice,” Denise purrs. “Okay. The last ten are aware you’re there. The place has little cover. You’re going to have to move and quick.”
I lick my lips. “Got it.”
I roll in and black out. It’s like I’m in the game. I listen, breathe, and fire.
Dante
I sit on the edge of my seat, holding my breath. I can’t believe what I’m watching. Lizzy is fucking amazing. I thought I was going to lose my mind when that guy charged at her with that knife.
She handled it without blinking. The force she hit those guys with made me cringe. My heart nearly came out of my chest when she rounded the building and took out those guys. This is not my sweet personal assistant and woman. This is even next level from the woman I watch playing video games.
However, as I look at the screen and watch her clear out this warehouse, I can see the skilled shooter who has built a brand executing virtual missions like this. Lizzy is no small woman, but she moves on those blades so gracefully. She’s so fluid and nimble. When she drops, bending backward to roll beneath a chain in her way and comes up on the other side shooting, I’m in awe and ready to come out of my skin.
“She’s fucking amazing,” Gio breathes with pride beside me.
I can’t speak. I don’t know how to feel.
“Look out,” I scream as if she can hear me.
As if she does, she spins on those damn skates and fills the guy who was rushing toward her with bullets. The drone seems to pan out to give a view of the entire room from above. She’s cleared the place all by herself.
I’m speechless once again. With a smile on her lips, she rolls out of the building. I fall back in my chair and run a hand through my hair.
“Job complete,” Jace says and holds his phone up to Gio.
Gio looks at me and nods. “The problem from earlier has been addressed. That’s who she is. She’s everything you wanted. I checked all the boxes.”
I growl at my brother. All this time, I should’ve known. “Have you lost your fucking mind?”
Lizzy
I roll out the way I came and head toward the gate I entered through. Once I have my bat. I blow the place with the trigger I have to the second drone Denise is flying—the rifle and trigger are a part of some of the gifts hidden in my car, thanks to her.
I grin and push forward. Taking my phone out, I take a picture of the blaze behind me and send it to Jace.
“Thanks, Auntie.”
“You’re welcome, baby. See you later.”
I roll back to my car and return everything to its place and put my boots back on.
“Nice work, Izzy. Now go home to your man,” I say as I start the car and take off.
Chapter 40
Fury
Lizzy
I step from my car as I park in the garage to find Jace and Gio waiting for me. Gio has a grim look on his face. I did the job and made sure everyone was taken care of. What’s wrong with him?
“He knows,” Gio says. “And he’s not happy about it.”
I groan.
“He’s more pissed at me than about who you are. He’ll get over it. Go take care of my family, Liz.”
With that, the two leave. I run my hands down the front of my leggings. All the confidence I had just an hour ago is gone. It’s back to real life.
I move into the house and debate going to hide in my game room like a chicken. Instead, I kick my boots off and peel off my socks in the mudroom and head through the kitchen. I pad softly to the foyer, headed for the stairs.
A hand lands on my shoulder, startling me. On instinct, I grab the hand and spin around under the person’s arm and twist the limb behind them. Before I can get a tight lock to break their arm or register who it is, they twist out of my hold and I’m airborne.
My back hits the wall behind me and a hard body is pressed against me. Dante hisses and nips my bottom lip as he squeezes my throat. I try to calm my racing heart.
“I don’t know if I want to strangle you or fuck you,” he says tightly.
I drag my foot up the back of his thigh and used my toes to pull him into me by his ass. Instantly his hard dick presses into me. He looks down into my face with heat in his eyes. I can tell he’s equally pissed and turned on.
