“No leads?” Levi asked thoughtfully.
“None. Despite the extra security, they seem to be able to avoid it. We’ve caught a couple of images of guys wearing hoodies, but they avoid their faces being captured.”
“And your friends?”
“Riley, Daithi, and Dane are still here. Derek has returned to Florida, where he was needed. He calls daily,” I said honestly. “Why do you feel out of control?”
“It’s trauma from my childhood. Instead of being offered help, I was left to suffer, and it created a monster. When I feel my control slipping, I head to the mountains, which have always calmed me. How close are you to the McKenzies?”
I smiled at the question for a question we seemed to be swapping.
“I would have said in the past, not close. But since my father died, we’ve become better friends. They are looking out for us,” I answered.
Levi sent me a long, considering stare.
“Should I be aware of any relationship between you and one of them before I make a move?”
“Oh God, no!” I exclaimed in horror.
Levi chuckled at the look on my face.
“That said rather a lot,” he replied.
“Sorry. But no, there is nothing like that between us. The McKenzies are friends and close… I don’t know a word to describe us. We’re friends,” I exclaimed lamely.
“Then there is no problem if I take you for dinner?” he asked.
“None,” I said with a happy smile.
“No time like the present,” Levi suggested, standing and putting out a hand.
I closed the file in front of me and placed mine in his. He helped me to my feet and grabbed my shawl from the coat stand.
“What do you fancy eating?” Levi questioned as we exited the office. I paused and sent my cousins a message before leading the way to the front doors.
“I’m easy,” I replied and then blushed deeply as Levi chuckled, amused. “Not like that! I meant I eat most things.”
“So do I,” Levi said with a wink.
I reddened even deeper. This guy had game.
“Food, Levi!” I chided as he threw his head back and laughed.
“Come on, let’s feed you,” Levi stated before my blushing got worse.
Chapter Eight.

As Levi and I walked down the street, he kept me amused. We’d had another great meal filled with fun conversation and laughter. I was really attracted to a man who could make me laugh, and Levi certainly could do that.
Levi guided me towards the car park Hellfire owned as I parked my vehicle there when at The Midnight Hour. I was busy laughing at a story he was telling me about one of his brothers called Tiny, who looked like the Hulk, when he stopped.
His hand gripped my arm, drawing me closer.
“This isn’t Fangs’ territory, so take a walk,” Levi groaned as someone walked out of the shadows.
“This ain’t got shit to do with Hellfire. Fuck off, bud, before I make it personal,” a voice growled back.
