“I’m here to do a job, too,” I reminded her. “You can’t expect me just to stand back and let you fuck around in the SEALs’ records just because I know your father.”
“Whether you know my dad has absolutely nothing to do with any of this,” she was fuming. “And I don’t expect you tolet me fuck around,Brian, but I expect you to comply with a lawful investigation. And I also expect you to quit tone-policing me. I’ll get fucking cute with whoever I like.”
“Yeah, I can see that,” I snarled.
She got to her feet slowly. “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”
“It means, what was going on between you and Jack?”
“Going on? Nothing was going on. He was setting up this computer for me.”
“And loitering around while you used it?”
“I’m not in charge of him, Brian. What was I supposed to do?”
“I’m not naive,Alison. If he was hanging around you, it’s because you made him feel like there was a reason to do that. I know, Jack. I know how he responds to women.”
She folded her arms across her chest.
I couldn’t help noticing the way the posture accented her breasts. And then, suddenly, I was thinking about how soft and lush they were and how it had felt to have them filling my hands.
That was definitely not what I wanted to be thinking about right now, and it also made me angrier.
“So let me get this straight,” Alison exhaled. “Your contention is that Jack and I are having some kind of lurid affair?”
“I don’t think you’re having an affair.”
“Well, good because that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.”
“But I do think you were hitting on him.”
She blushed, and I knew I was right.
“So that’s what you do,” I cocked a brow, waiting for a plausible response. “What’s what I do?”
“That’s how you handle your work for the FBI. You’re that over jealous type of fed. Sleeping your way to the top.”
“Fucking—excuse me?”
“You were hitting on him to get him to give you information.”
“Okay. First of all, flirting is not the same thing as fucking,” she said. “And frankly, after what happened the last time you and I were in the same room, I would have thought you would know that. You acted like a big man then, so I don’t know why you’re acting like such a petty boy right now.”
Hot rage surged through me. “Don’t you talk to me like that.”
“And secondly,” she went on, ignoring me, “I can flirt with anyone I want. What business is it of yours?”
“It’s my business when the target of your scheme is a member of my staff, and you’re preying on him to get into the SEALs’ computer system.”
“But I notice you didn’t object to any of this when you hit on me to try to distract me from the job I came here to do,” she said.“That’s not what fucking happened.”
“Oh, please. I may be young, but I’m not a child. I know what happened.”
She was wrong. The distraction had been convenient, but that wasn’t why I’d done it. I just hadn’t been able to resist her.
Now I was starting to think that was by design.
“You want to know what I think?” I asked her.
