“See? This is why I need you in my life. Aside from the orgasms and hair-pulling, you’re the good angel on my shoulder.”

A wide grin tugs at my lips. “That is a sad commentary on the state of your shoulders, tiger. Especially considering all the fucking devilish things I want to do to you.”

“Don’t rile me up before work, stud. Tomer’s back in the office, right? So no more hanky-panky in the lair. Unless we want him to watch.”

At the next traffic light, I levy a dark glare at her. “There’s still my office, your office, the copy room, the file room, and a half dozen other places I could put you on your knees and make you choke on my cock. But that’ll have to wait until you’re not in pain.”

“Pain? What pain?”

Without breaking my stare, she fumbles for the air conditioning controls and turns it on full blast.

A smirk overtakes my entire face. “Hot, baby?”

She grins, and her expression takes on an almost maniacal quality. “Uh-huh.”

Damn, she’s funny. I love her to the moon and back.

I wink. “Good. Think about that all day so you get nice and wet for me. If you still feel up to it tonight, Imightend our fornication ban.”

Her face contorts into a series of expressions ranging from shock to disgust to suppressed laughter. Ultimately, she breaks into a fit of giggles. “Who the hell says fornication? Never mind. I no longer want to sleep with you.”

We’re turning into the Redleg parking lot by the time we finally stop laughing.

“So, did we decide not to tell Sawyer?”

I shrug. “What do you want to do?”

“Maybe I’ll casually ask him if he’s investigated his family or if he has any desire to do so. Try to gauge his reaction. Assuming he seems genuinely set on keeping no contact, then I’ll keep it to myself. I could also tell him that if he ever changes his mind, I’d be happy to help him locate them.”

I like this plan. Pulsing my hand around hers, I silently encourage her.

Decision made, she nods confidently. “It’s gonna suck to carry around the secret, but I’ll do it if it’s what’s best for Sawyer. I can’t dump this on him to assuage my guilt. That’s unfair to him.”

After letting go of her hand to put two on the wheel, I ease into my reserved space and shift into park. When I look at her, my heart does a drunken tango.

Her smile.

It’s everything.

I brush an errant strand of hair behind her ear, eating up the sparkle in her eyes. “You don’t need me to be the angel on your shoulder. You’re doing just fine on your own.”

“I had the best teacher.”

Chapter52

Quite stubborn, that one

MIA

We share a quick kiss and stride into headquarters. Two uniformed guards patrolling the parking lot catch my eye.

Interesting.

Like normal, we swipe our badges to get through the front doors. Once we enter the lobby, we freeze.

My jaw drops. “A bag check and scanners?”

“Well, this is new,” Cal mutters. “I guess they weren’t kidding about the red-level threat.”
