I tried to catch my breath but the throbbing in my arm made it impossible.
“Fuck, I’m sorry.” His face paled “I never...”
“It’s fine,” I said through clenched teeth. My lips lifted in an attempt at a smile which I’m sure came out more of a grimace.
“It’s not going to be a problem.” He cleared his throat and stepped away from me. “I was just shocked, we all thought…never mind.” He shook his head.
“Are you sure it’s not going to be a problem?”
“Certain.” He smiled, revealing straight white teeth.
“Okay.” I took a deep breath; the throbbing wasn’t as bad now. “But can we not tell anyone else?”
“Kay-”
“I just don’t want to be known as his little sister.” He studied me in that way again, I squirmed under his gaze until he nodded.
“Okay.”
“Okay.” I repeated.
“Let’s take a look around, introduce you to the guys, then you can be on your way.”
He opened the door for me and stepped out behind me. He showed me all of the areas of the warehouse, the computers were Evan’s department, he was the one I had spoken to on the phone yesterday. I’d meet him tomorrow.
He also said that I could use any of the gym equipment any time I wanted. I laughed at that, the idea of me and exercising was a joke. My legs ached from climbing the four sets of stairs to my apartment every day, I told him this to which he said, “The offers there,” and carried on his tour.
“We have a meeting each morning to go over active or new cases. It starts at nine, I expect you to be here, to take notes.”
“Okay.” I followed behind him, watching his muscles ripple in his back each time he moved.
“Kitchen, Office and safe.” He pointed to each door and headed to the one that he said was a safe.
“It has a palm reader as a lock.”
“What’s in there?”
He turned, his brow lifted.
“What do you think is in there?”
“I dunno? Files?”
He laughed. So loud and unexpected that it startled me. I felt my own lips lift as I watched his whole face open up.
“Weapons.” I jumped at the voice and spun round. Kitty was stood behind me. Again.
“Jeez, are you going to do that all the time?”
“Should always be aware of your surroundings.” She grinned. I stuck my tongue out at her, shocked at my own response. It was so unlike me. I didn’t know what possessed me to do that, but I couldn’t stop it. She winked at me, then walked off into the kitchen.
“You’ve met Kitty,” he said. “That’s Luke.” He pointed at the man that came through the door.
He was as big and ripped as- “Wait.” I laid a hand on his arm. “What’s your name?”
He furrowed his brow at me “What?”
“You haven’t told me your name”
