Sins of the Past (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

already ended Jacob’s career, and all Cole could think about was how hot Lorna would look with camouflaged face paint as she hovered above him riding his cock. Cole grinned. It seemed he had his very own G.I. Jane.
    “Stop thinking with your dick and get your head in the game,” Jacob said into his ear.
    Cole nodded. He didn’t like the fact that Lorna was in danger. They needed to end the threat as fast as possible. Using hand signals, Cole motioned that he was going to check outside while Jacob covered him from the broken window. Once they made sure the kitchen was clear, Cole headed toward the back door avoiding the broken glass on the floor. The hair on the back of Cole’s neck stood on end when he stared down at the glass. His instincts were going crazy, warning him that something wasn’t right.
    From the look on Jacob’s face, he felt the same. Cole looked at the broken window. He knew no one had come in that way. Because of the way the house was made, the intruder would have had to pass them to get out of the kitchen. What Cole couldn’t understand was why someone would break the window and make so much noise. Whoever it was had to have known someone would come running.
    “Shit.” Jacob cursed at the same time the realization hit Cole.
    The broken window was nothing more than a distraction. Before they could turn and head back toward the bedroom, the sound of Lorna squealing and then a gunshot made Cole feel like his heart dropped into his stomach. They both raced back to the hallway and skidded to a stop at the sight before them. “What the hell?” Cole yelled as he watched Lorna fighting none other than Julio Valente as curse words flew out of her mouth. If he hadn’t know who Valente was or what the man was capable of, Cole would have been impressed at the way Lorna handled herself against him. Her martial art training was obvious from the way she moved and threw her kicks and punches. She landed quite a few on Valente and was able to move before he retaliated. The man was moving a little slow and Cole could see there was blood soaking the front of his shirt near his shoulder. Lorna must have managed to shoot him.
    It seemed like they had been standing there forever watching Lorna fight, when in reality, it was only a few seconds. That was a few too many in Cole’s opinion. He moved in along with Jacob to take control of the situation. Unfortunately, their movements must have distracted Lorna because she looked over at them. The second she took her attention away from the fight, Valente attacked. Cole knew he wasn’t going to get to her in time as he watched Valente’s fist connect with her face. Instead of crumbling like he expected her to, Lorna let out a roar that would have put any man to shame before plunging one of her knives into Valente’s chest. She had moved so fast, he hadn’t even seen her go for the weapon.
    Cole knew his mouth was hanging open when he saw Lorna put her boot against Valente’s stomach to brace herself as she pulled the knife back out of his chest, but his brain wouldn’t function enough to close it. In a short amount of time, the tiny woman had managed to do what he and Jacob and a whole team of highly trained SEALs had failed to do. She had made it look so easy when she took out Valente. Seeing her in combat was hot as hell. He couldn’t blame his erection on adrenaline.
    “What?” Lorna asked when she lifted her head up. She was leaning over with her palms resting against her knees as she panted. The only thing either of them could do was stare at her in shock.
    “I’d like for you to explain why you came out of the closet when I specifically told you to stay.”
    Cole winced at Jacob’s tone when he questioned Lorna. He was just as pissed off at Lorna for putting herself in harm’s way, but Cole knew when to keep his mouth shut. Judging by the death glare coming from Lorna, it was one of those times. Obviously Jacob was clueless because he continued.
    “Do you know the danger you just put yourself in? Do you have any idea who that man was or what he was capable of?”
    By the time Jacob was done, he was yelling and Cole had a feeling things were not going to end well if the man continued. “Jacob, check the perimeter to make sure none of his men are out there while I check the house.” Jacob glared at Lorna before he turned and headed toward the back door.
    “What’s his problem?” Lorna asked.
    Cole didn’t bother to answer as he finally
