then captured his prey.
    How on earth did Gabriel even know a man like Jonas? Admittedly the two men were of a similar age and temperament, but that was where the similarity ended. They came from different backgrounds and different countries. She was pretty sure Jonas didn’t work at Knight Security either. She knew all the men who did.
    Gabriel hadn’t been in the least forthcoming about Jonas on the phone earlier, but that was nothing new. As she’d told Jonas, her eldest brother rarely felt the need to explain himself or his actions.
    All Gabriel would say was that she could trust Jonas.
    Problem was, she was quickly learning she didn’t trust herself when she was with him. Jonas’s physical presence brought out a recklessness inside her. The strong, silent thing he had going made her want to constantly challenge, to poke and prod at him in whatever way she could, in order to get a reaction. As for the way she reacted to him physically…the last thing she wanted was to find herself attracted to a man who was so like her overbearing and arrogant brothers. Not least because they would all find it hilarious if she did.
    “I’m tired. I’d like you to go now,” she told Jonas wearily when he came back into the room.
    He nodded. “I’m leaving two of my men outside to watch the building tonight, one at the back, one at the front. But I’ll be back in the morning.”
    Her eyes widened. “Your men?”
    Jonas gave a hard smile. “I work for a company called Grayson Security.”
    “I don’t understand.”
    He shrugged. “Gabriel said you weren’t happy at the thought of anyone from Knight Security being involved in protecting you.”
    She wasn’t. She loved her brothers dearly, but she couldn’t stand being around any of them for too long. “So he hired someone from your company instead?”
    Jonas’s mouth tightened. “Not exactly.”
    “How not exactly?”
    “Long story. One you’ll have to ask Gabriel about if you want answers,” he added before Lily could press the matter. “Can I take these with me?” He moved to pick up the pile of letters she hadn’t shown her brother.
    Alarm coursed through her. “Why?”
    “These are the only ones still in their envelopes—I understand why the others weren’t,” he assured her as she would have spoken. “The fact the letters and envelopes are printed isn’t going to be of much help. We could probably narrow down the printer, but that’s about it, and no doubt there are thousands of the same model out there. But there are times and postmarks on these envelopes that may help in my investigation.”
    She was an investigation now?
    Of course she was. This was a job to Jonas. She was a job to Jonas.
    Lily suddenly felt even more tired. Bone weary, in fact. As well as a deep need to be alone. “Fine,” she agreed tersely.
    Jonas could see Lily had clearly had enough for one night. The shadows had returned to her eyes, and her face was pale. He resisted the urge to take her in his arms and reassure her. “I will find him, Lily,” he said instead.
    “I hope so.” Her voice sounded very small, and she somehow looked smaller and more vulnerable too.
    “Don’t hope, know.”
    She gave the ghost of a smile. “Lord save me from overconfident men.”
    “I’m exactly as confident as I need to be,” he stated grimly. “Now get some rest, and I’ll see you tomorrow.”
    “Yes, sir!”
    Jonas instantly felt heat course through his body before centering on his rapidly engorging cock, and he wondered what it would be like to have a fiery woman like Lily as love slave to his master. Not that he was into that lifestyle at all, but it might be fun to play at it for a couple of hours. Once this was over—
    Once this was over, he would return to his world and Lily would stay in hers. His was based in harsh reality, Lily’s in the artificial world of acting. Total opposites.
    Opposites attract as often as they repel.
    Jonas wasn’t about to deny he was
