“In case anyone decides to plant another bomb?” she asks, her voice rising.
I regard her again with level eyes. “Exactly that. We can’t be too careful.”
“What’s he going to do while I’m at work? How am I going to explain that?”
“I think you should look into taking a leave of absence.”
She laughs a little, but it’s without any humor. “Take a leave of absence?”
“It might be for the best at this stage.”
“And do what, Fynn? Sit around in my apartment, waiting for something bad to happen… I may as well be at work doing what I do best, trying to save people’s lives. And besides, I can’t just take leave at the drop of a hat. Things have to be planned.”
“Well… illness isn’t planned. You could say you’re sick, then you could go on vacation… I could take you somewhere.” I’ve no idea what the fuck I’m saying right now, but it’s not a bad idea…I don’t want to tuck tail and run away, but I do want to keep her safe.
“That’s impossible, Fynn. I know you mean well, really, I do. But I can’t just drop things at the hospital.” She shakes her head. “And where the hell would we go?”
I like the way she says “we.”
“Anywhere you want to,baby cakes.”
“So what happens with the bodyguard, he just stays out there all night?” she asks as we walk to the door.
“Precisely, Garrett is out there now, and he will be replaced in the morning by Frank.”
She sighs deeply, but doesn’t press me on it. Good, I’m not in the mood for this.
“Are they hot?” She rolls her lips.
I give her a look ofdon’t fucking go there.
“Very funny.” I pull her to me, her hips digging into mine. “The next time I see you, I’m going to shut that pretty little mouth up with my cock, how do you feel about that?”
She bites down on her lip, and I pull her closer. My mouth finds hers, and I cup her face.
“It sounds good,” she whispers.
“Oh, baby, it’s gonna be better than good.” I don’t want to leave, but I have to. I pull away, my hand on the doorknob. “Just remember that.”

I head to the casino, where Marco is staying with Katiya. A thought runs through my head that Sage should be moved here too. I will speak to Angelo about it in the morning.
“So, fucker, what’s so urgent that you pulled me away from getting laid.”
He’s nursing a whiskey when I walk into his office.
“Trust me, I have a beautiful fucking Russian princess up in my hotel suite. I’d rather be there than here.”
I grin. “So, what gives?”
“You missed the fucking meeting.” He glances at his watch. “I called you nearly an hour ago.”
“I was across town.” I sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose hoping he hasn’t called me out for nothing. “I came over as soon as you called me, why’s Angelo calling a meeting at this hour anyway?”
He gives me a look.
“What was so important?”
