Chapter Five
The men frowned asthey watched her rapidly build a wall between them.Her eyes grew more shadowed and blank.
“Mina, look at me,” Koa demanded softly.
Her eyes turned his way, but her face stayed blank.
Koa gritted his teeth in frustration but wasn’t even close to stopping.“We have a few questions, and then we’ll make sure you get home.”
She shook her head.“I can get myself home but thank you.”
The tone of her voice was cold.The men glanced at each other in concern.
Jon bent toward her.“We’re not going to fight about it.”
She nodded her head and relaxed.“Thank you.”
Koa bit back a grin.He guessed she thought she’d won.When it came to her safety, there were no negotiations.It was their job to protect her.He didn’t question the strong feelings they already had for her.The first glimpse they got of her had hit them both between the eyes.Koa was convinced Jon felt the same because he hadn’t taken his eyes off her except to scowl at Jeffrey.
“Where do you work?”
“Why do you want to know?”Her eyes widened.“You’re going to get me fired, aren’t you?”
Jon jerked his head back.“We would never do anything to make you sad,” Jon stated.
“But you are.”
Jon scowled.“Don’t interrupt me, baby,” he growled.
She remained silent and crossed her arms over her chest.
“The only way we will get you fired is if we decide the job is not safe.”
“But—”
Jon raised a hand to silence her.“It’s for your protection.”
Koa grunted.“Now, answer the question.”
“Which one?”she asked sarcastically.
Jon growled.“Baby girl, you’re pushing it right now.We know you’ve had a bad night and don’t understand us yet, but we still have our limits.”
