“So the one you have is a copy, then. Any reason you think your contact won’t follow through?”
I averted my gaze from her. I trusted Jonson. He was the only person to see what was happening to me and offer a way out. But just the trust in him alone would not guarantee my safety.
“I learned quickly not to have all my eggs in one basket,” I explained.
When I looked back at her, her gaze was locked on her hands. They were tightly threaded together, her knuckles turning white from the force.
What was going on inside that head of hers?
“This information,” she said. “If it got out, is there anyone you think it would adversely affect? Someone that isnoton Alec’s side?”
I cocked my head to the side.
“Of course. Alec has millions of clients that would have to cut ties with him,” I said. “Is that who your boss is?”
It was coming together now, and as much as it hurt, I couldn’t find it in me to distance myself from the woman in front of me.
She was here for that information all along, and once she got it… I had a good idea what was supposed to happen, but the hope that she wouldn’t was hard to ignore.
“I don’t know,” she whispered. The way she said it sounded so hollow it caused my heart to break for her.
“I just request thatnothingis left behind of me. I can understand why—”
“Stop saying that shit,” she growled, her hands slamming down on the table.
“Why?” I urged, leaning forward. “We both know why you’re here, even if you won’t say it. You really think me that dense, after everything?”
Please say it. Say that you don’t want to do it. Say that you couldn’t bear life without me.
She meant something to me, butgoddid I want to mean something to her so badly.
Her breathing was heavy now, her eyes lit up with unbridled anger.
“Eat your dinner,” she ordered, getting up from the table.
I wasn’t feeling very hungry.

She’s been… different. It had been a few days since we came to the safe house. A few days since I spilled to her exactly what my husband had done.
It would have been easier to distance ourselves. Easier to ignore each other and pretend whatever was happening between uswasn’t.
But just like me, she was unable to keep her hands to herself.
Paired with the lack of sleep, Quinn had become far more…intensethan usual.
“Let me feel you, little agent. Your cunt is already wet for me, isn’t it?”
A whine escaped my lips as her hand sneaked into my sweats. Our bodies were pressed together, her spooning me with one hand holding my throat and the other between my legs, her fingers pinching my clit.
Whatever she had been holding back due to inexperience before was long gone. The woman next to me knew my body better than anyone had in my life, even all of the partners I had at Club Pétale.
It was the emotional connection.
The raw, tender, electrifying current that ran between us. The constant need to be touching each other, near each other, even though we both knew that whatever the fuck was going on between us would never be.
There was a promise in her touches. Unspoken words in her burning kisses.
