blocked again.
    “Hmm.”
    “What?” Jesse looked guarded.
    When she didn’t answer, just stared at him thoughtfully, he
squirmed on the bed, clearly uncomfortable.
    Logan coughed to cover up his laughter.
    “You know, Logan never did tell us how he went from the
hotel to this place,” Jesse said to change the subject.
    Kate decided to give him a reprieve for now. After giving
her so many climaxes, he’d earned it. “Mr. Defensive has a point, Logan.” She
ignored Jesse’s frown. “Tell us the rest of what happened with Chen. And make
it fast.” She glanced at a bedside clock. “We don’t have much more time before
we’ll be back with the clan.”

Chapter Six
     
    Logan grinned. “Sure, Kate. Whatever you want, baby. It’s
yours. And can I just say I’m loving this heat. I mean, I wanted you before.
But now it’s like my cock is on permanent hard mode.”
    “It usually is,” Jesse muttered, and Kate laughed.
    Beneath the laughter, Logan could feel her frustration.
Logan wanted to smack Jesse for being so stubborn, but his persistence was part
of what made him so attractive. Assured, dependable, Jesse was like a rock.
Hard to budge, but always there when you needed him. Logan still held out hope
that someday, some way, Jesse would admit he loved him.
    With a sigh, he let his guer stroke Kate’s in comfort
and continued his tale. “Well, I told you Lawless knocked me out. Problem is,
when I woke up, I was lying half on top of that poor dead woman. I had a fist
around her intestines.”
    “Ew.” Kate grimaced.
    “Yeah.” Logan shook his head. “I was covered in her blood
and then surrounded by hotel security. Will must have reported me and set me up
to take the fall, the bastard. My bet is he’d have taken on Jesse next. He’s always
had a thing for you, Kate. He wants us out of the way so he can claim you.”
    She didn’t look pleased at the thought, and Logan felt her guer bristle at the notion of Will Lawless trying to tie to her.
    Jesse squeezed her hip in support.
    Logan kissed her. “No way Lawless is ever getting close to
you again. Not alive, anyway.”
    “Yeah.” Jesse kissed her on the cheek. “You got that right.”
    “Anyway, after Will hit me, the next thing I know, I’m being
hosed off and bundled into a car outside the hotel. Four friggin’ huge Voiders
dragged me into this place and I met Tommy Chen. The man has an incredible
network around the city. He sees all and hears all if it has to do with
Voiders. I explained to him what happened. I’m not sure why, but he believed
me.”
    Jesse frowned. “He said something about a debt to Vicki.”
    For the first time in forever, Kate didn’t flinch at her
queen’s name. Logan breathed an inaudible sigh of relief. One hurdle crossed,
at least.
    She glanced back at Jesse. “A debt? For what, exactly?” she
asked.
    Logan wasn’t sure. “I don’t know. But I remember Vicki did a
job that involved him before we brought her into the pack. Maybe Chen’s
obligation has something to do with that. In any case, he agreed to bring you
two to me, and even to give me some time before he called in the clan.” Logan
still felt the flush of embarrassment that Chen knew about their failed
claiming. “He felt sorry for me. Even out here news traveled that some hot
Ravager chick had denied two asshole Ravagers not worthy of her.”
    Kate blushed. “Oh man. I never meant to make you two the
butt of any jokes.”
    Jesse raised his brow.
    “Really,” she tried to convince him. “We had a lot of
problems between us even before Vicki,” she admitted. “I’ve been in love with
you two since I was old enough to know what love was. It’s a human emotion, but
I couldn’t help feeling it for you. Except both of you ignored me. You treated
me like a bothersome pest most of the time. And when I’d finally gotten old
enough to do something about how I felt, you two were so busy with Eric and
fucking anyone but me, I felt invisible.”
