Under His Skin

A brilliant scientist out to save the world. A jaded agent looking to save the one he lost. And a conspiracy that spans oceans, reaching into the deepest parts of American national security. Lennon is a genius. He’s devoted his energy and his time to designing products to save lives. He’s gotten rich doing it, too. This time he’s created something to revolutionize war, crime, and policing -- a bullet that heals. He’s on top of the world and the one thing he needs is someone to share it with. The one he loved disappeared without a trace years ago, and until he gets closure he can’t commit. Ben is an agent with an agency so secretive for years people didn’t know it existed. He screwed up years ago and fell in love with the man he was supposed to be guarding. Now his lost love is in danger again. He’s developed a product bad actors all over the world will want to get their hands on. When Ben’s superiors order him back to Lennon’s side, he goes without hesitation. There’s only one catch -- Lennon can’t know he’s there. When one of those bad actors strikes, all the rules go out the window. Can Lennon overcome his mistrust once he knows the truth about Ben? When the enemy turns up the heat, will Ben manage to save Lennon from people who want him to kill?

Chapter 32

Rada glared at both of them. “Me,” she told Denehey, with a sweet smile that fooled no one. “Thank you, Detective.” She passed him a card Ben hadn’t seen her fish out of her purse and gestured to the others. “All right. Everyone to my office.”

“I was thinking more like a bar,” Ben muttered.

“It’s not even nine in the morning.” Rada scowled at him. “There aren’t any bars open.”

“That cute little champagne bar is open.” Townsend followed along, but he smirked at Lennon.

“Oh my God would you shut up, Townsend.” Ben pinched the bridge of his nose.

They settled into Rada’s office, and Ben swept it for listening devices. Only then did anyone speak. “Right,” said Lennon. None of his anger had dissipated. He still vibrated with it. “So, like I mentioned, Kaden, you’re fired, get out. Good talk.”
