“Wow, what did they send you after this time?”

“Nothing, they’re done,” she sighed.

“They’re done,” Tina said with a cough.

“Yeah, why? I took forever on an easy assignment, didn’t I? What are they going to do to me, Tina? What do they do to recruits that screw up even the easiest jobs? Don’t spare any of the details. I want to know what to expect when I get here tomorrow.”

“You didn’t screw up. The last compromise between Demetri and Randal took almost three days of negotiations.”

“Three days? You’re joking. Stop teasing me, it isn’t nice.”

“Who’s joking? The Crimson conference room had to be repainted after a faery put a dent in the wall because he got so frustrated. That was only after twelve hours...” Tina seemed to look around. “And where is Demetri? If the meeting is over, he should be out here by now.”

“He stayed behind to talk to Ms. Pope.” Even she could hear the pout in her voice.

“You can’t get attached to a client, Stacy. It’s not a good idea.”

“I’m not attached. I was just looking forward to maybe having the chance to get some firsthand experience when it comes to my knowledge of werewolves.”

Arms wrapped around her waist. “Mmmm, that sounds promising. What kind of experience did you have in mind?” Demetri whispered in her ear, then sucked her earlobe into his mouth.

Her entire body seemed to melt into a puddle, and she was certain the only reason she was still standing was because of his grip on her waist. Looking at Tina, she watched the other woman giggle at her.

“And you are not going to help me, are you?”

Tina shook her head.

“Couldn’t you at least start warning me that there’s someone behind me?” Stacy pleaded.

“Where would the fun be in that? I told you to watch out. These guys love to sneak up behind you.”

“And I want to get back to the previous topic. What kind of experience are you interested in? And how much knowledge do you want?” His teeth grazed against her flesh.

“I think I need a mop,” Stacy whimpered.

“Not yet,” Tina laughed.

“If he keeps this up, I will.”

Demetri’s deep voice was filled with humor and warmth. “But, my dear, I haven’t even begun.”

“Help,” Stacy squeaked.

“You’re on your own. She’s in thirteen thirteen, Demetri. No howling at the moon, okay?”

“It’s not full,” he chuckled. “But I can’t make any promises for Stacy.”

“You’re just going to— You’re going to send me off with— I can’t go home with a man I don’t even— I’m not even technically allowed—”

“Relax. Remember, you’re off the hook.”

“I promise you shall know me by morning, Stacy. And I shall definitely know you. I will know every inch of your body, intimately.” His hands slid over her shirt to cup her breasts. His thumbs teased her nipples until she was arching herself into his touch, uncaring that there was still another person in the room.

“Get out of here, you two. Have fun, Stacy. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”

Demetri wasted no time. Grasping her hand, he led her out of the office and to a sleek black convertible. As he pulled away from the parking area, reality intruded on Stacy.

“I can’t do this. I’m a married woman,” she groaned.
