“Why?”
I looked at the ceiling. “She left before I could.”
“Left? You mean she snuck out.” Reath’s low laugh grated on my nerves. “So, there is a woman on the planet who can resist your charms. A woman who isn’t throwing herself at Kavner Fury’s billionaire feet.”
“You done?”
“Kav, she’s investigating you. She wants to arrest you.”
“She’s coming around to the fact that we aren’t enemies.”
My brother made an unconvinced sound.
“Enemies or not, I think she’s in danger,” I said. “I won’t stand for that.”
Reath paused. “Fine. I’ll put a man on her.”
Relief filled me. “Thanks, Reath. If anything turns up, keep me posted.”
“You got it.”
After I ended the call, I finished my whiskey and looked out the window.
Was London hurting? Who the hell had attacked her?
And, I couldn’t help but wonder, was she lying in her bed, thinking of me?
The sun was shining when I pulled my car to a stop in front of London’s block of converted apartments.
A second later, she stepped out the front door, wearing gray pants and a black shirt. God, her legs looked a mile long.
She spotted me and stopped. In the sunlight, I saw the bandage on the side of her head and my mouth flattened.
She finally strode over. “A Ferrari today, I see.”
“I thought the Lamborghini was too flashy for you.”
She rolled her eyes. “Only you would think a red Ferrari is less flashy than a Lamborghini. Why are you here, Fury?”
“I’m giving you a ride to work, since your car is out of action. You left before we could talk last night.”
She looked away, looked like she was thinking.
“I got you coffee.” I held up a takeout cup.
Her gaze narrowed. “From Fourth Wall?”
I nodded. “Chai latte.”
Her eyes narrowed even further. “How do you know that’s my favorite drink?”
I shrugged. “I may not be a federal agent, but I have my ways. Get in the car, London.”
She slid in and slammed the door.
I tutted. “That’s no way to treat a Ferrari.” I pulled away from the curb fast.
She gasped and quickly buckled her belt. “No speeding.”
