but Zak didn’t take his eyes off Logan. If anyone was going to resist, it would be Logan.
    Meeting his gaze, Logan snarled. “Keep your mouth shut and don’t say a fucking word,” he ordered Zak.
    Zak would keep his undercover status unless he had no other choice.
    “This is the ATF and Shifter Coalition,” Cody yelled from where he’d popped open his driver’s side door. “Everyone in the yard, get down on the ground.”
    The men looked around and at one another. Was anyone going to resist? Zak could see the question on their faces. Taking the lead, Zak dropped down to his knees before lying on his stomach.
    “If you don’t comply with our demands, we will take that as a threat,” Cody hollered.
    More of the guys started to follow the orders shouted at them. Logan remained standing, but Zak made sure that he was still close enough to stop Logan from attacking anyone.
    “Please resist,” Jamie said close by. “I would love that.”
    Logan looked ready to take Jamie on until the bear shifter got into Logan’s personal space.
    “Come on. I dare you,” Jamie taunted.
    “Fuck you,” Logan spat. He finally dropped to his knees.
    “Not on your best day,” Jamie replied.
    Jamie was rough as he grabbed Logan’s wrists, wrenching them behind his back before securing them with zip ties.
    Jumping when he felt a foot on his ass, Zak glanced over his shoulder. Cody stood above him but his gaze was at the house. “Secure the rest of the property. Every one of these assholes is under arrest.”
    Zak raised an eyebrow so that when Cody looked down at him, Zak would see his amusement. While most people were automatically afraid of Jamie due to his bulk and biker looks, it was actually Cody that they needed to watch out for. Cody had the kind of mind that could figure out any puzzle, and the damn stubborn man never gave up. This ability to go harder and longer than any of the other agents was what Zak respected most about Cody.
    “Make sure to check for weapons,” Cody said.
    Zak was pushed from side to side as Cody followed his own order. His cigarettes and lighter were thrown on the ground, along with a knife he’d hidden in his boot.
    After Cody had emptied all Zak’s pockets, he grabbed Zak’s arms and cuffed him. Zak appreciated the fact that Cody hadn’t used the standard ties that were normal for the Coalition. Instead he’d grabbed a pair of stainless steel handcuffs from one of the ATF agents walking by.
    At least Zak knew that Luca had made it back safely. There would be no other reason for Cody and Jamie to be working with the ATF.
    Cody hauled Zak to his feet and got right in his face. “Name,” he barked.
    Shaking his head, Zak refused to answer.
    “I asked what your name is.”
    “Zachary Lewis, isn’t it?” was whispered behind him.
    He snapped his head over his shoulder at the women who’d come up on him. Damn, it was the same ATF agent who had pulled him and Luca over. If Zak had made all the connections, he would also guess that this was Luca’s partner.
    Instead of the well dressed woman he’d met only the day before, this time Agent Fox was drop-dead gorgeous—and dangerous looking.
    She was covered from head to toe in black attire. She wore a black T-shirt almost hidden by her flak vest. Her long legs were covered in black utility parts and her black boots appeared well worn. Even cuffed and in the middle of his operation wrapping up, Zak couldn’t look away. His body’s reaction was immediate. His cock sprang to life, pressing against his faded jeans as his tiger pushed up to the surface. The animal hadn’t forgotten about the sexy agent either. Knowing that this woman was also a feline shifter added to the arousal. Zak hadn’t been able to share all of himself with his human lovers in the past. He’d had to hold back his strength and some of his kinks, like biting—things that even when he’d tried to explain, he’d known that they just hadn’t got what he meant.
