“On the cameras?” I finish for her, leaning in close. Her breath hitches at our sudden proximity. “So, youwerewatching.”
Dani’s cheeks turn bright pink. She can’t look me in the eye. “I, um, I…”
Dipping in close, I murmur against her ear, “Did you like what you saw?”
Her breath stutters. “I…”
The sweet scent of lavender and vanilla fill my nose. The ends of her hair are still wet. “Were you taking a bath?” I ask her, amused. “Goodness, Agent Harper. It seems you enjoyed yourself quite a bit, hm?”
“Shut up, Antonov. I’m warning you—”
“What are you going to do, Dani?”
The look she gives me is to die for. An equal mix of anger and lust. I’m not sure if she wants to kiss me or rip my throat out, though I doubt I’d complain either way.
“You need to stop pushing my buttons,” she grumbles.
I lick my lips, eyeing hers hungrily. “Why don’t you make me?”
Her nostrils flare. The rapid rise and fall of her chest is hypnotic. “I told you,” she says in a small, almost pained voice. “The cameras.”
The corners of my lips tug up into a wide smile. “Do you honestly think I haven’t already figured out where they all are?” I ask. “Your man Gomez did a good job setting them up, but I happen to knowallof the blind spots in this place.”
Dani gazes at me, incredulous. “So you could have—”
“That’s right. Iwantedyou to see.”
“Butwhy?”
“Isn’t it obvious by now?”
She shakes her head, her hands pressed against my chest. There’s really no room between us now… but she makes no effort to actually push me away. “Luka… This is a bad idea.”
“Why?”
“Why?” she echoes with an incredulous laugh. “Do I really have to spell it out for you?”
“Humor me.”
Dani looks into my eyes. She looks lost, conflicted. “I can’t mix business with pleasure. You’re… an asset. A witness. And I’m supposed to uphold the law. If we cross this line—”
“What?” I urge, watching the movement of her lips with rapt attention. “What’s going to happen, Dani? Will the world explode?”
“No, but if we’re caught… I could lose my job, Luka.”
“Then let’s not get caught.”
“That’s easy for you to say. I’ve got a little sister to take care of.”
“And I have brothers to take care of.”
“It’s not the same.”
I breathe her in. God, she smells so fucking good. “I’m going to ask you one question, and I need you to be honest with me.”
“What is it?” she asks.
I wrap my arms around her waist, seeking the warmth of her body. There are no words to describe how good she feels in my hold. “I want you to forget everything for a moment. It’s just you and me. No FBI, no talk of Bratvas, no thoughts of danger. Do you crave me the same way I crave you? Do you spend every waking moment thinking about the sound of my voice and the feel of my hands on your body? If this isn’t what you want, then I’ll respect your choice. But you have to answer me honestly.”
