Mistletoe (K19 Security Solutions 3)

“I would if he knows everyone who will be here.”

Ava sat back, quickly zipping through the other K19 Security Solutions team members. “It isn’t Monk, is it?”

“No.” Aine scrunched her eyes “Why?”

“I think Tabon’s sister has a thing for him.”

“That would be awkward, but no, it isn’t Monk.”

“Don’t make me guess. Just tell me who it is.”

Aine bit her lip.

“Just tell me,” Ava said again.

“Okay…Griffin.”

Griffin? Who in the hell was Griffin? “Wait,” she gasped. “Do you mean Striker?”

Aine’s worried expression confirmed her guess.

“Of course,” she exclaimed, hoping her over-the-top happy response fooled her sister. She should’ve known better.

“Nobody likes him,” Aine pouted.

“That isn’t true. I like him.”

“What about Razor?”

Ava wasn’t sure. Tabon was fairly good-natured, but she had heard him complain about Striker a few times. The bigger issue would be with Gunner, who had made no secret of his feelings for the former CIA agent.

“Let me talk to him.”

“Who?”

“I’ll start with Tabon. Have you already invited him?”

“No, but…”

“What?”

“He doesn’t have anywhere else to go.”

“Did he tell you that?”

“Not exactly. He asked me to go away with him.”

“Come on,” Ava said, pulling her sister off the bed. “Let’s go make it official.”

“What does that mean?”

“We aren’t going to ask. We’re going to tell my husband and his best friend that you’ve invited your boyfriend to dinner.”

Razor smiled as Ava and her sister came downstairs. She and her twin were up to something; he could tell by the glint in her eyes.

“Hi, Mom,” she said, walking over to her mother.
