offered the choice to reintegrate into society or else face execution.
    But with a new commander leading the military now, things had changed. The Surrender Law had been abandoned. Now outlaws were killed on sight.
    Hudson claimed that the rising violence among the Enforcers was due to a drug cocktail the commander was giving the men, but Jamie was skeptical. Those assholes had always been violent, and she had trouble sympathizing with Hudson whenever the woman spoke about Dominik. If it were up to Jamie, he and his men would all be wiped off the face of this razed, blackened earth.
    “I know you don’t like hearing about him.” Hudson shifted awkwardly, proving to be more perceptive than Jamie had given her credit for. “But he’s my brother. I still love him.”
    “I know.”
    “He’s trying to make things right.”
    Jamie didn’t answer, but her thoughts on the matter hung between them like a cloud of radiation.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
    Hudson sighed. “Okay, enough about Dom and more about Lennox.” She flashed a smile, but it looked forced. “So you’ve known him forever and you never got together. Which raises the question…
why
? You do realize he’s insanely attractive, right?”
    “I hadn’t noticed.” She rolled her eyes. “Of course I know he’s attractive, you idiot.”
    The tension dissolved as Hudson burst out laughing. “Good, because I would’ve been concerned if you didn’t. That man is fucking gorgeous.”
    No argument there. Lennox was one of the sexiest men she’d ever met. That messy dark hair, chiseled features, magnetic silver eyes… Shit, and his body? It had been designed for pure
sin.
Jamie would have to be blind not to notice how attractive her best friend was.
    If she was being honest, there was a period of time when she’d noticed far, far too often.
    “Uh-oh, you’re blushing.” Hudson pounced instantly. “Ha! You two
did
hook up!”
    “We didn’t.” She shrugged. “But I wanted to at one time.”
    “I knew it!” Hudson leaned back on her elbows, wearing an expression of sheer delight. “When was that?”
    “When I was sixteen, I think. So Lennox would have been eighteen. We were living on the coast at that point, and one night – it was late, way past midnight – I caught Lennox sneaking away from camp. I was curious, so I followed him down to the beach.” Jamie wiggled her eyebrows. “And then I hid behind a tree and watched him jerk off.”
    Hudson hooted. “Oh gosh, really? Did he know you were there?”
    “I don’t think so. I mean, he didn’t give any indication that he knew. But holy shit, it was the hottest thing I’d ever seen,” she admitted.
    Even now, years after the fact, she could easily conjure up the memory of Lennox on that beach. His long body stretched out on the sand as he propped himself up on one elbow. His pants undone. The pleasure stretching his features taut as his strong hand worked his cock in slow, almost seductive strokes.
    Jamie ignored the shiver of heat that shimmied up her spine. “After that, I lusted hard for him. I started flirting with him more, trying to catch his interest.” She gave another shrug. “But he continued to treat me like a sister, so yeah, it was pretty clear he wasn’t interested. Then I fell in love with this other boy at camp and forgot all about Lennox.”
    “Well, that’s no fun.” Hudson’s disappointment was unmistakable.
    “It was better that way. Lennox never stuck with one girl for very long. He just fucked her and then moved on to the next one. Trust me, he would’ve broken my heart. At least this way I still had him in my life.”
    “I guess.”
    Jamie grinned as another memory surfaced. “He was such an ass sometimes, though. He might not have wanted to screw me, but he was crazy protective and liked to make my life difficult. That boy I was into? Lennox beat the shit out of him after he found us making out in the woods. Then I fell for this other guy who treated
