“Fuck the universe. I’ve always done things my own way.”
We both caught our breath in the cool night air.
“We should go,” she said quietly.
“Yes.” But I didn’t want to let her go.

LONDON
Sitting at my desk the next morning, I tried to focus.
Kavner made that hard.
I sat back and closed my eyes. I’d crossed a line with him. Professionally, personally.
I’d never let anything, or anyone, interfere with my work. My job was who I was. It was vitally important to me.
I blew out a breath. Lexxie always accused me of never standing still, never having any fun.
And of never letting men close. I mean, I dated, sure. It wasn’t my fault that none of them had been interesting enough or quick enough to keep up with me.
Now there was Kavner.
“He’s not mine,” I muttered.
If Keegan found out I’d crossed a line, it could impact my job.
And nothing would ever come of this. I lived in Virginia and worked all over the country. Kavner was a handsome, wealthy man. I snorted. I was spinning a little fantasy. Men like Kavner went through dozens of women. They didn’t keep them for very long.
Dragging in a deep breath, I focused back on my work. I needed to do some recon at the port. I’d had Viv check CCTV from Brennans and I’d confirmed Bates was the one to buy the art for Platinum Holdings. I’d pulled everything I could to find where Platinum Exports did business at the port. Nothing yet.
I needed to know where the money was going and who was behind this. Then I could shut them down.
I also needed to find my damn car. I’d made some calls and no one seemed to know where it was.
My phone rang and Kavner’s name appeared on the screen.
My stupid heart fluttered as I answered. “Mr. Fury.”
“Good morning, London. Well, it’s almost afternoon.”
My stomach rumbled. I’d only had coffee for breakfast and a stale muffin for a late morning snack.
“How goes the investigation?”
“Fine. How goes making millions of dollars?”
“It’s going well.” He sounded amused. “I’d like to take you out for lunch.”
She shouldn’t. She needed a clear head where he was concerned.
“I can hear you thinking all the way from my office. I have some information on Platinum Export I thought you might like to hear.”
“In that case, I accept.”
“Good. There’ll be a car waiting for you. To bring you to my office.” He ended the call.
