Page 95 of Saving His Heart

“Pres?” My youngest brother steps forward and takes a seat beside me. “Seth and I are doing everything we can to locate him. We know his training far exceeds that of most operatives, so we have every right to believe he is lying low until it’s safe to surface. Mom said we’re here for another mission, though? I think … I know Loki would want you focusing on this and let his team do their jobs.”

Knowing I can’t lose both Emory and Loki at the same time, I do as Ash suggests and focus on the one I can tackle today.

“Dexter, you might get your wish after all,” I tell him.

“Yeah, what’s that?”

“Prince Charming, I need you to make a MEP plan.”

“Shut the fuck up.” For a man Dexter’s size, he jumps from his chair way too enthusiastically at the prospect of Prince Charming. “Wait, you’re already married.”

“Yeah, but she doesn’t think it’s real. We didn’t exactly have the most normal courtship.”

Dexter sits back in his chair with a hand on his scruffy chin. “So, what you’re saying is, we need a grand gesture?”

“You are far too excited about this,” Easton chimes in. While I tend to agree with him, I can’t have him ruining the mojo.

“Shut it, East. This is important.”

He holds his hands up in surrender and goes back to hugging the wall.

Two hours later, everyone leaves with their jobs in hand. I hate to admit it, but Dexter is a rock star at this fairytale shit.

(Dexter named the group MEP at 1:42pm)

MEP

Dexter:Plan’s a go. Ladies, do your thing in Boston, then get her home by whatever means necessary.

Julia: Are the laws the same for abduction if you take them on a private plane?

Halton: Yes, Julia. Laws are the same. (eye rolling emoji)

Colton: Yes! I’m so psyched to be on the chain this time!

Preston: Don’t fuck this up, Colt. I’m serious.

Easton: I’ve got the construction under control. Colt just has to follow orders, and we’ll be fine.

Trevor: Julia, I swear to God, do not do anything illegal.

Julia: Whatever.

Preston: Julia!

Julia: Do you want the girl or not, Preston?

Preston: I’d also rather not have to bail your ass out of jail.

Julia: (Rolling eyes emoji)

Lexi: Lanes and I will make sure nothing goes off the rails.

Easton: That sounds promising.

Lexi: Fuck off, East.

Preston: Back on track here, guys. How long until you get to the hospital?
