"I do," she said, and leaned back on the leather bench and took a deep breath. I just met her eyes as she looked me over again. Then she took a swig of her beer. "What do you do for money? How does all of this work?" she asked.
"Well, up until a few weeks ago, my family house was about fifty yards that way," I pointed. "Right where that first big bunkhouse building is. I worked remotely as a concept artist, and Erica's brother Leo was my roommate. Erica joined us out here for quarantine. The federal government came and wanted to buy my land, but I negotiated a lease with them instead and they paid me a lot of money for it, along with building me, Leo and my sister houses. So if you're worried about finances living out here, you don't need to. I'm not stingy, though I'd prefer if we don't get super extravagant. I'd rather us be wealthy for a long time than super-rich for a short one, and with five people on the team... Well, yeah."
"The team?" she asked.
"It feels a little weird to call it a family right now," I said. "What with all the changes happening so fast. I think that's how most of us will end up, but I don't want to presume anything."
She frowned, looking me up and down again. When she got that look on her face she was fierce and calculating. Focused. Then it broke and she cocked her head to the side just a touch. "Did they tell you I was coming?"
"Um, yeah," I nodded. "I got a warning yesterday that you'd be here sometime in the next couple of days."
She nodded slowly. "OK. I mean, obviously we'll need to figure some things out, but I think I can live with... this. I'd like to wait a day and get to know you all a bit more before we do the imprinting though. I'm not really a 'sleep with a guy on the first day' kind of girl."
"I'd be happy to wait as long as you like," I said. "But, ah, you may want to talk with the others about that feeling you've got. Apparently, it'll just keep getting stronger."
"Right," Kyla nodded slowly. "OK. I'll keep that in mind."
Voices rose outside. Not angry, just a little animated. "Sounds like Leo and his girls are finally coming outside," I said. "I think you'll like Danielle, she's a pretty open book. I can't make any promises about the two new women though, they arrived yesterday and I haven't had a chance to meet them properly."
"That sounds good," she said.
"Any other questions, or do you want to go meet them?" I asked.
"Um, yeah, actually," she said. She was still giving me a slightly weird, considering look. "Do you know?"
"Know what?" I asked, trying to poker face without poker facing.
She kept eyeing me. "Who I am."
I sighed a little. "I was told that you're the daughter of an Ambassador," I said, covering the big lie with a little truth.
"Does that bother you?" she asked.
"Why would it?" I replied. "I'm part Native, part Japanese, I travelled a decent chunk of the world when I was in the military. In the US, you growing up in another country is about as different as if you grew up in an east coast city."
"That's not what I meant," Kyla said, sitting forward and leaning her elbows on her knees, staring right at me. "I meant does it bother you that I'm a spy?"

mfbridges19 days agoNot sure what's up with V? I mean the easiest thing would be for her to fall in love after-all. But I'm hoping something else happens. In any case, I hope Harrison can somehow hurt her feelings a little as well. Maybe he can have her unlinked without telling her or something. I'd bet she'd back peddle then. If she kisses his ass he could always vaccinate her the right way this time.
Anonymousabout 2 months agoI adore that you had Dani spend time with the MC and we got to interact with her. She’s hot, fun, and not sleeping with the pov character…. Most authors wouldn’t spend too much time with her but I’ve really been valuing those moments. It makes the world feel more real, more lived in, and like these are real lives.
Anonymous9 months agoSourpuss doesn’t even understand why she has been demoted somewhat to taxi driver but she fully believes it is Harrison who caused it when in reality she had overstepped her bounds and authority while almost blowing the land deal because she wanted to play hardass and pulled a gun on Erica and had the soldiers follow her lead. You don’t show up at someone’s home with guns drawn on a singular woman when the house owner is someone you need something from. It is in Ms.Manners handbook on the top of page one. Then she starts to backtalk her superior who she is supposed to be assisting. She is lucky they need women or she would have been busted down at least one rank. I guess nobody else realizes how great she is and how important she is as well, ego never goes well in the armed services in fact that’s one of the things they drill out of you in boot camp, you are just another replaceable dog in a very large organization. I do love how Harrison wants to help everyone but keeps either forgetting or remembering too late that your family comes first.
I haven’t come across a bad chapter yet in fact they have all been five stars and then some. Thanks for your dedication to this story and make it the best possible.
Lolilol4710 months agoThanks for another great chapter.
Sometimes I think MC is too much of a nice guy, that something severe will happen before he gets his wake-up call...
Anyway, keep up the good work.
