“Maybe.” She touched her chest where her shirt was open and stroked her skin.
His brown eyes blazed, looking shades lighter. She knew he was remembering just where he’d come this morning.
“Next time, I want you wearing nothing but those glasses.”
He shook his head, smiling. “Mission, remember.”
She dropped her hand and set her shoulders back. She hadn’t forgotten. Despite the excitement, there was still a ball of tension lodged in her chest.
“I’m going to get you another coffee,” he said.
She beamed at him. “My hero.”
As he strode to the café, she eyed his ass. It was a thing of beauty. As where his muscled thighs, and his abs.
She couldn’t help but feel like she was playing with fire.
Her stomach jittered. She was gonna make him fall for her, but sometimes, love wasn’t enough. Would he stay? Would she ever be more important than his job?
Echoes of her father and Brandon jumbled in her head. Brandon’s work was his identity, and he’d often cancel dates at the last minute because of late meetings. And because he was banging a model.
Ugh. Brandon was getting no more bandwidth. Jet pulled out her phone and saw she had a message from Killian. Devyn was fine, but he was letting her sleep in. The pair would meet them later.
She slipped her phone back in her pocket and turned her attention to the closest tech stand. She read their advertising information until Cain returned, holding a huge latte.
“Oh my God, I need this.” She sipped. “Thank you, thank you.”
He watched her, an unreadable look on his face.
“What?” She cocked a brow.
“Don’t ever change,” he said. “Always be you, and show your enthusiasm for the things you love.”
Her heart clenched. “I think that’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me.”
“Damn, I want to kiss you.”
“Later.” She made herself turn away, or she’d kiss him. “Let’s wander.”
They spent the next hour wandering through the venue and Jet started to feel edgy. She really wanted this buyer to make his move.
She wanted this done. She’d had enough of kidnappings and car chases and druggings. She wanted this over so she could lock herself in a bedroom with Cain.
She shivered and gulped more coffee.
Except after this mission, he’d have another one.
The coffee curdled in her stomach. He’d fly off to places unknown.
Not now, Jet.She released a breath. She glanced up and saw him chatting with two young men at the stand nearby.
She turned to the one beside her. Micro drones. Oh, that was something she was very interested in.
“You’re interested in drones?”
She looked up at the smooth, deep voice.
A very handsome man in a suit stood beside her. His hair was well cut, and he had piercing blue eyes. He looked like a banker.
