Agent S5: Jaydan Read Online Free PDF

Hope.
    “There’s a maze of dimly-lit corridors, with heavy metal doors and stark white walls. I don’t see any windows in this part of the compound. It’s very depressing.”
    Jaydan frowned at her. “Could it be some type of hospital? Do you see other patients?”
    Hope shook her head. “I don’t see a lot of people. I sense them but most are a blur, which is very odd. Usually, I can see what people are doing, hear what they’re saying, but here… the only one I see clearly is her.”
    “Her?”
    Nodding, she said, “I’ve hit the same frequency as a woman on the island. I see her standing before a wall of windows, crying and alone. She’s… desperate.” Looking up at him, she said, “She’s been praying for a miracle, Jaydan. Maybe we’re it.”
    ***
    Standing in the airplane cabin, Jaydan nodded at the enormous, striped tote bag Les threw over her shoulder. “Is that it?”
    Lifting her chin, her long ponytail reached the nicest ass this side of the Pecos. “Yes. You told me one bag. I brought one bag.”
    He had to admit she’d taken his orders seriously. Her khaki shorts were modest by today’s standards, her white blouse plain and practical. She wore hiking boots and thick socks - and her diamond bracelets.
    Only Hopeless.
    “Good,” he said, following her down the airplane steps and into the cavernous hangar. “I’m glad to see you’re following orders.” Reaching the concrete floor, he escorted her to the white SUV a few feet away.
    “This trip is an exception to the rule, Rose. Don’t get too comfortable with it.”
    He laughed to himself. The woman never let up.
    Opening her door, he frowned when she made no move to get in. “What?”
    “You opened the door for me.” Her wide smile of wonder made him grin.
    “Cowboys know how to treat a woman.”
    “Real-ly?” Her twinkling gaze traveled over his face and shoulders, stirring his blood. “I may have to go to Texas and find me one.”
    His grin disappeared. For some reason, the teasing barb cut like a spur across his belly. “You wouldn’t know what to do with him if you did.”
    Her gaze traveled over his features again before she dipped inside the car. “Maybe not, but I’d have a hell of a good time finding out.”
    Jaydan cursed under his breath as he shut the door. The burn in his gut had to stem from the omelet he’d had for breakfast, not Hope’s reckless words. If she wanted to learn her way around a cowboy, he’d be more than happy to accommodate her.
    He hadn’t traveled down that road of possibilities since she first ran into him at the Meeks’ fundraiser.
    Literally. 
    She’d stopped with a hand on his chest, before giving him a slow, scorching onceover. His body had stirred under her heavy-lidded stare, but he didn’t a move. Complete strangers, they’d stood no more than a foot apart in the empty, hotel hallway, breathing the same air, basking in the same, instantaneous heat. Closing the distance between them, she’d searched his eyes, her lips parting.
    His mouth had watered for her like a drunkard for his fix.
    But, he’d known her identity, known the dangers they faced that night.
    And walked away.
    Tossing his bag in the back seat, he climbed in behind the wheel. Where the D.I.R.E. cockpit had been roomy and spacious, the SUV felt small and narrow. Her fancy, custom-made perfume teased his nose in the close confines, its scent unassuming and light. It was the heat of her skin, her nearness that threatened to choke him.
    “What’s the plan, boss?” She stared out the passenger window as they left behind the private airport.
    “Drop off our things at the house, then grab something to eat. I need to recharge.”
    The truth was, he needed to stock up. His gut told him his strength enhancement could come in handy on this trip.
    “Recharge these?” She pulled up the long sleeve of his Henley to expose a D.I.R.E. armband.
    Frowning, he stared out the windshield. He probably should explain his
