BILLY—

It’s a lie. Everything I’ve ever told him is a lie. The biggest one of them all is the one I tell myself when I think of him. We can’t be together. I know that. He even says it, though in more colorful ways, of course. But my company doesn’t care about feelings, just finishing the job. Find Candy, destroy everyone who gets in the way, and get out. That’s all this is, a job. Nothing more. It can’t be. No matter what my heart begs for.

CASPER—

Trust is something I build from. My military career, being part of the brotherhood, it all started from trust. I walked away from the solider life once that trust was broken. The club has given me no reason to do the same, only showing me ways to lead it. Now that I’m in charge, I want to build on that foundation, but how can I preach it when I’ve had the wool pulled over my eyes from the start? When I brought the enemy behind the front lines and left us vulnerable?

I thought she was one thing but found out she isn’t. I should walk away, but a debt is owed, and I must pay for it. It’s either me or another brother, and I’m not going to let her trick anyone else. Fool me once, but not someone I care about.

The job is simple: work together and find someone. Easy. Nothing to it. The cover story is that we’re a couple, one active in the BDSM lifestyle. Hard isn’t the right word, but when I see her in her first outfit, it’s the only thing that comes to mind. And they booked us a room with one bed.

This might have started out as paying off the club’s debt, but things are about to get more complicated. Because if I’m not careful, I’m going to want to find a reason to work and play together again
