we’re just going to have to keep them in check.”
    Finding the salon, I parked the car and killed the engine. I was ready to get pampered for the rest of the afternoon. Eva and I undid our seatbelts at the same time.
    “Don’t you just love that the guys think they are the ones in control?” Eva had a naughty glint in her eyes. “If only they knew the truth.”
    “Haha, our alpha males would definitely disagree with you, but you’re so right. Ryder and Harrison would do anything for us and I love that they want us to be happy.”
    Eva’s expression turned serious. “Those are the important things in life. Raising happy families. I want our kids to play together while we watch over them. I’ve never been this content and looking forward to something as much as I am to marrying Harrison.” She rubbed over her stomach, a small frown between her brows while she chewed the inside of her cheek.
    “Anything worrying you, hon?” I asked, suddenly concerned.
    Eva smiled, but it didn’t reach her eyes. “This baby. I wish—” She clamped her hand over her mouth as if she’d already said too much.
    “What Eva? You know you can tell me anything and it won’t go any further. We’re sisters now and we have to be able to trust one another.”
    She bit into her lower lip while lowering her gaze and staring at the floor.
    “Eva? Talk to me,” I coaxed gently.
    “I . . . I wish I could say with certainty that it’s Harrison’s baby. In my heart I’m sure of it, and Harrison assures me he’s going to be this baby’s real father regardless of its DNA, but it kills me that there is even a shadow of doubt.”
    I swallowed hard. Eva had been through one of the toughest ordeals any person could go through. But I knew Harrison. He’d love the child like his own, keeping his promise to Eva even if it was the Senator’s sperm who fathered the boy.
    “Trust your instincts, hon.” My hand covered hers and I rubbed her skin with my thumb, trying to comfort her. Tears welled up in my eyes and I gave her a wry smile. “A mother is seldom wrong about these things. What happened to you is terrible and no woman should have to endure being raped by her ex-fiancé.” My vision blurred and I blinked back the tears. Every time I thought about it, a mixture of anger and sadness roiled in my gut.
    Eva gracefully dabbed the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Deep inside I know everything will turn out okay. I’ve just got to have faith and believe in our love.”
    I smiled. “Love is a leap of faith. Trusting that your man will catch you when you fall. We’ve both chosen the perfect man for us.”
    “Yes we have. We’re lucky women.” Eva’s smile was radiant.
    “Hell yeah, I agree.” I opened my car door to get out. “Let’s go for that massage. Suzi’s waiting.”
    I walked around to the passenger side, hooked my arm into Eva’s and steered her toward the salon doors where heaven awaited us.

4 — Ryder
    W hy was it that every time I thought my life was finally coming together, a shit storm was about to break loose? Convincing Jade to move to the compound was going to be a lot harder than I would have liked. It wasn’t that she didn’t like my brothers, because Jade was the kind of person who got along with everybody and the guys had already accepted her as one of their own. But Jade had grown up in another world—a world so far removed from mine that it was a miracle we'd found common ground. And now I had to shift the status quo all without alarming her. Because the last thing I wanted to do was to worry Jade.
    The whole ride home I was consumed with thoughts about the impending danger looming not only over Cobra but also me and Razor, and the whole Scorpio Stinger club. If one of us was in danger, it pretty much affected all of us. A brotherhood of men meant exactly that—we were all in it whether we liked it or not.
    And right now I’m not liking it one bit. If only there were a way I could stop the
