“To the port. I delivered them to an office at the port. Platinum Export.”

I had to admit, I really enjoyed watching London work.

She released Bates and stepped back. “All right. Go.”

The man spun, saw me, and his eyes widened. “You’re Kavner Fury—”

“She said go,” I snapped.

With a nod, he pushed away from the hedge, stumbled, then hurried back toward the house.

“Platinum Holdings, which also owns Platinum Export, is laundering money, for sure,” she said.

“And transporting art out of the country.”

“Where they sell it for an inflated price and send clean money back to the cartels.”

“Which cartel?” I asked.

Her gaze narrowed. “That is still to be determined. But the important thing is I have more intel than I did before. A solid lead.”

I stepped closer. “Like I said, it was very hot watching you work.”

Her gaze met mine. “Fury—”

“Kavner.” I touched her face. “I hated seeing him touch you.”

Touch what I realized I was starting to feel was mine.

“I didn’t particularly like him touching me, either.”

I closed the inches between us. “What about when I touch you?”

She licked her lips. “I like it too much.”

“Good.”

“Kavner.” She turned her face into my palm. “Damn you for not being an asshole like Bates. Makes you harder to resist.”

She went up on her toes and kissed me.

I hauled her close, sliding my tongue deep into her mouth. She moaned, and need hit me hard. I lifted her and carried her toward the edge of the nearby fountain.

“I think this is a bad idea.” Perched on the edge of the stone, she tilted her head back.

I kissed her neck, then scraped my teeth hungrily along her throat. “So stop me.”

She made a hungry sound and her hands slid into my hair. “I should.”

I slid my hands into the cutouts of that maddening dress and stroked her hips. “These have been driving me crazy from the moment I saw you tonight.”

She arched into me. “That was the plan. You’ve been driving me crazy since the first time I saw you.”

Suddenly, there was the sound of voices nearby.

I uttered a mental curse and pressed my forehead to hers. “There are always too many fucking interruptions.”

She nipped my lips. “Maybe it’s the universe trying to tell us something.”
