“I didn’t expect you to.”
“Two days.”
“That’s all I’m asking you for.” She gripped his forearms. “Please, Colm.”
“Fuck, turn those eyes of yours off. I already agreed to it.” He scowled.
“Thank you.” She rested her head against his chest, breathing in his unique scent.
“You know I still have to tell Pres everything, right?”
“I know, but seeing as how his fiancée is about five months pregnant right now, I’m sure
he’ll agree with the decision to postpone whatever plan the two of you come up with.”
He grunted. “G
et your shit. I don’t want you out here in the open.”
“We might be playing into her hand. At least here, we’re on familiar ground.”
“So what? You want to stay here where you just had your ass handed to you?” Lefty
frowned. His brow wrinkled and the corners of his mouth turned down.
“You’re here now, right? Don’t you want to show everyone I belong to you now?”
“You really must want to stay here if you’re pulling that card.”
“I already told Smoke we were exclusive.”
The sudden lightening in his eyes did funny things to her stomach. “Oh yeah?” He wrapped
his arms around her waist and crushed her body to his. “And what led to this admission? I don’t think for a second you just volunteered the information.”
“Can’t you just be happy it happened?”
“Not until I know everything. There’ll be no secrets between us, Gia. Secrets cause
problems and come back to bite you in the ass.”
CHAPTER SIX
“And no one showed up?” Lefty asked, wrinkling his brow. It wasn’t what he’d expected.
He’d been sure the elderly woman had been feeding information to Mylandra.
“No one. The place was dead, Lefty. No signs of anyone watching in the distance or any sort of bugs,” Scout replied.
Their resident recon man knew his shit. If he said it was clear, it was.
“Alright, thanks.” Lefty hung up. He should be happy, but it made him nervous. They still
hadn’t heard from the bitch and he had no leads on who was working with her or for her. She knew how to lay low. He put his phone on silent and turned his attention back to the groom.
“Everything copasetic?” Demon asked.
“Yeah, Scout said it was a complete bust.”
