did.
    “I agree. I don’t even think there are words to describe the power she has over me. In some ways, it is almost frightening.” Then with a small chuckle he added, “I’m pretty sure this little bit of a sub is going to own us. Hell, she already holds our hearts in her hand.” Looking into his brother’s eyes, he knew Zach felt exactly the same way. “We have to make sure she is safe, eliminate the threat against her before we can fully pursue the life we want to build. And we need to deal with our sister dearest. I can’t tell you how frustrated I am with Jenna. I understand her need to honor Katarina’s request for confidentiality, but Jenna knew what efforts we’d gone to in order to find Katarina. What on earth was she thinking, keeping this from us for so long?”
    “I don’t know, but I agree, we have to deal with her. Honestly, I’m half tempted to let Colt deal with her. He’d have more options, hell, our only recourse is lecturing her, and God knows she is immune to that.” Smiling at the thought, he said, “When is she supposed to arrive? I was hoping she’d wait until after the beach party because I know it’s going to be a battle to keep her out of it. And she wasn’t always the best influence on Kat.”
    “I agree, but I think she is scheduled to be here late tomorrow night, so we’ll need to pull security from the party to keep an eye on the two of them. Keeping them away from the party is going to be difficult; telling our little sister she can’t do something has always been like waving a red flag in front of a bull.” Stepping back into the bedroom, they both watched Kat sleeping peacefully for a few moments before switching off the lights and closing the door quietly as they left her room.

Chapter 11

    Jenna was glad to be home, even though the house she’d grown up in looked very little like it had when she was a kid, the mountains and forests were the same, and it was comforting to be surrounded by nature again. Living in the city was beginning to wear very thin, there was constant noise, the air smelled awful, and nobody knew or cared anything about you. She was so tired, traveling had been one of the greatest things about her job in the beginning, now it just seemed like she was wasting so much time waiting in airports, hotels, lobbies, hell, everywhere, when she should be out living her life. And she was worried about Kat; her last e-mail had been odd, cryptic like she really hadn’t been herself. When Jenna had asked about how her prick boyfriend was treating her, she hadn’t gotten her usual graphic description of his latest “the whole world revolves around me” antics, the answer had been so odd, Jenna had actually wondered if it had been written by someone else. And now all her calls to Kat’s phone just kept going straight to voice mail, and Kat was always diligent about keeping her phone near her.
    Two days ago when she had called Alex to confirm her travel arrangements, she’d told him that she was thinking about stopping in Las Vegas to check on a friend. His response had surprised her, he had been adamant that she return straight to ShadowDance, he hadn’t seemed to care that her unnamed friend might be in trouble, hell, Mr. Up in Everybody’s Business hadn’t even asked who she’d be visiting, and that was mighty odd for sure.
    Having two older brothers would probably be a pain in the ass no matter what, but having two older brothers that were twins, and ex-Special Forces—like anyone was every really ex once they’d been a member of “The Teams”—and then the icing on the cake, they were both Dominants. Lord, save her from her loving siblings. Not only did they always know what was best for her, how she should dress, who she should associate with, now they had a whole security team to enlist in their efforts to micromanage her life. As she pulled up to the front of the house, the hair stood up on the back of her neck, and she briefly considered
