I frowned. "Are you fucking serious right now? Of course, I didn't hurt her."
"If I get back and she's hurt, I will fuck you up."
I shoved him back. "I welcome you to test the validity of your threat. Let's do that."
"You bloody wanker. If you—"
"She doesn't want you, Rook. She’s fucking mine."
"You don't think I fucking know that? She's sweet. And for some reason, she fucking wants you. I have no idea why, but there it is. I just don't want you to destroy her because you’re in love with someone else."
He shoved me back, and again, I did not budge. I heard a sharp whistle and looked up to see Saffron Abott booking it toward us. Before I even knew what had happened, something hit my leg. I went down, and so did Rook.
Saff stood above us both. "Will you two idiots stop this bullshit? Please tell me you’re not pissing at each other over a girl? Rook, you've been called onto the Macallan mission. We're going to run your part again. But you,Romeo, have been called into Gabe's office."
Rook rolled to his side, groaning. "Fucking hell, Saff, that hurt."
"Yeah, I'm glad it hurt. When you two idiots start fucking with the merchandise, it pisses me off."
From my position, I frowned up at her. "Merchandise?"
"Your pretty-boy billionaire faces. Rogues depends on you billionaire twats looking the part. If you're all roughed up because you can't keep your dicks in your trousers, then you're fucked. People start asking questions about why you look like a ruffian. You'll smear your billionaire cache. Enough."
Rook and I growled at each other, but I pushed to my feet and gave Saff a nod. "Fine, I'm going."
"Yeah, you do that." I could feel her glare as I marched off.
When I reached Gabe's office, he already had the scotch out. "And how is the engagement bliss going?"
"Fuck off."
Gabe gave me the widest grin I had probably ever seen on his bloody face.
"Was that a smile?"
Gabe laughed. "Oh, yes. That was actually amusing to watch. You think I didn't have you and Rook on camera since you left the penthouse?"
I groaned. "For fuck's sake."
"Is this jealousy display going to fuck with my missions or not? Rook is solid, but he tends to have a slight attachment issue. He thinks of people more like puzzles to solve. It's nice to see him personally engaging for once."
I frowned. "Oh, he personally engages all right. Can you tell him to stay the fuck away from my wife?"
Gabe cocked his head. "Well, she's not your wife,yet. And this is just a mission, right, Saint?"
I glowered at him as I stood with my back pressed against the door. "Yeah, just a mission."
Gabe nodded. "We have a problem.”
A chill wound around my spine. “What?”
“Lohman’s’s done a runner. Had help obviously. It happened during medical transport.”
Bullshit. “What the fuck? Why didn’t you call me?”
“I did call you as soon as it happened. You took a moment to answer.”
Shit. I’d been face deep in Kaya when he called. “I’m going after him.”
