I hand my file to Darla and stop by Illren and Rook. “Everything went okay?” I ask Illren.
Illren puffs up his chest slightly. “They were no match for us.”
I roll my eyes at Illren’s arrogance, but then I surprise us both by kissing his cheek. “Thank you for helping them.”
I start to back away, but Illren snakes his hand around me and pulls me to him. My breath catches in my lungs when that intense purple gaze bores into me from just inches away. “I would do anything for you, Mistress,” he whispers.
I suppress a shiver and gulp. The sexual tension radiating from him is nearly suffocating. “Anything except call me Nora,” I mutter.
My attempt to break the tension fails. Instead, he pulls me even tighter against him and he tucks my hair behind my ear. “Nora,” he murmurs, making the word a caress.
He leans down, his intent to kiss me clear, but before he can, Nick hollers again. “Jacobs! Let’s go!”
I pull away, unsure if I’m relieved or disappointed that the moment is broken. Beside us, Rook snorts in amusement, and Illren gives him an annoyed glare. I smirk. “Behave, boys.” I give Rook a quick peck to his lips and hesitate only a moment before doing the same to Illren. “Go home, and be safe. Check on Oliver for me. I’ll have Nick or Parker bring me home later.”
