through his fingers.
    “She’s your SKULL assignment, isn’t she?” Cade asked.
    Blade said nothing.
    “You’ve been sent to kill her. Kill the leader of the
Resistance. As if that will stop women from fighting to regain their freedom.”
    “She’s a marked woman. If I fail, someone else won’t,” he
replied.
    “You’ve failed, Will. Tell your boss the leader of the
Resistance is under Outlaw protection now. Anyone who tries to go after her
will have us to answer to. Got it?”
    “Got it,” Blade replied, knowing full well the six Outlaw
brothers were no match for the U.S. dictatorship that ran the country with an
iron fist.
    “Good.”
    The two of them stood in silence as the Resistance leader
waved goodbye to her friends before she sprinted across the yard and into the
meadow. A moment later, an entourage of her supporters came out of the trees
edging the field. As the entire group vanished into the neighboring woods, the
success of his mission disappeared and, strangely enough, relief poured through
him.
    Sure, he’d lost an opportunity to kill her. And yes, there
would be hell to pay when he reported his failed mission. But at least he could
live with himself tomorrow. That is, if Cade didn’t kill him.
    “The highway is about twenty miles to the east. Drop the
keys to your vehicle and start walking, Will. Rest assured if you’d been anyone
else, you would be dead. Consider this a favor. You owe me one. Big time. Just
remember what I said. If I ever see you near her again, I will kill you and your
body will be buried somewhere on Outlaw land where no one can find it. Buried
with the others who crossed us. You know very well I speak the truth.”
    Blade was a smart man. He knew there were dead bodies buried
on Outlaw land. Hell, he’d helped kill those men and buried some of them
himself. This was the time to clear out.
    He nodded and slowly unclasped the key chain he wore at his
belt. He pulled his keys from his pocket and let them go. They fell with a
jingle into the tall grass.
    “I’ll remember that,” he said to Cade.
    “You do that. Now go before I change my mind and kill you.”
    The area between his shoulder blades prickled as he started
off toward the east. He half-expected Cade to shoot him in the back. He
certainly deserved it for getting this close to almost killing a leader who
represented freedom to all women.
    The same woman he’d once helped rescue from the Pleasure
Palace when he’d been on assignment with Cade’s brother, Colter. A woman who
hadn’t been able to keep her hands off his men after they’d taken her to a safe
house. Hell, she’d been pumped so full of sex drugs, she’d been quite the hot
fuck. He cursed at the memories of the heat. Of her red, tangled hair. Her cheeks
flushed pink with excitement as he’d gotten out of bed and stood beside her in
that bedroom. He’d enjoyed the teasing glint in her eyes as she’d cupped her
breasts and practically dared him to make love to her.
    He still couldn’t get the sweet echoes of their slapping
flesh out of his mind as he’d entered her tight vagina in one solid plunge. Her
aroused cries lingered in his mind and the awesome way he’d convulsed inside of
her had shaken him right down to the tips of his toes.
    After fucking her, he’d gone outside, craving cold air to
chill the fierce desire of wanting to take her again. But when he’d come back
into the house with the full intention of bringing her into his bed for the
night and fucking her until they were both senseless, she hadn’t been in his
bedroom. Hadn’t been anywhere in the house. She’d vanished.
    Fuck! At the time, they hadn’t known she was a member
of the Resistance, let alone the leader of an enemy of the government. But
she’d been willing. Willing and wanting and orgasming all over the place with a
group of men who’d been desperate for a female.
    The Pleasure Palace had done a number on her, that’s for
sure. It was a wonder she’d
