“I’d like to say they’re going to change…”

“But you don’t want to lie to me.”

“No.” She laughed again. “I don’t.”

I sighed. “I love them all. I do.”

“I know. And they adore you. Why do you think they’re so protective? Jonah was mad as a rabid dog when he found out they’d gone after you without him even knowing.”

“They knew he’d want to be here with you.”

“I know. And he would’ve been, but he still wanted to know what was going on.”

“Freaking Steel men,” I said.

“They are forces to be reckoned with,” she agreed, “but they’re also the best men I know.”

“Yeah, me too,” I said. “Plus Bryce. Who treats me the same way, of course.”

“He’s as close to a Steel man as anyone except for the actual Steels. And he loves you very much.”

I smiled. “He does. In truth, I don’t want him to change a bit.”

“That’s true love, then. I woul

dn’t change Jonah, either.”

“Good thing,” I said, “because not one of my brothers will ever change who they are.”

“That’s why we love them,” Melanie replied.

Again, the woman was good. She spoke the utter truth.

Driving back to the guesthouse, Bryce filled me in on his and Joe’s visit to Cade Booker and how they ended up pepper-sprayed.

“Apparently Cade is related to a Dominic Booker and an Alessandra Booker,” he said. “We think Dominic James’s real name is Booker.”

“He did say Alex was his twin,” I said. “And they called her Booker at the hospital.”

“She’s going to make a full recovery,” Bryce said.

“That’s good for Colin.”

“Yeah. It is.”

“Bryce…”

“Yeah, baby?”

“I… I was supposed to be the one to cut Alex’s throat. It was my blade.”

“Oh?”

“But I couldn’t. I froze. And then she woke up, and still I couldn’t, so…”

“Colin did it.”

“Yeah. He moved so quickly. Just grabbed the blade from me and sliced his finger open. Then jabbed it into her throat like he didn’t even need to think about it.”
