“Say something, Sam.” The tapping of his perfectly polished wingtip was starting to get on her nerves and she hated the feeling of waiting for his approval. The truth was, he had no say in what she did or didn’t do, and his pique had better end soon.

Looking around her favorite bar, The Violet Hour, she noticed many familiar faces. It had been a regular spot for her and Stazi to meet for an after-work drink and they hadn’t been in a while.

“Why don’t you trust me to do my job?”

“What are you talking about?”

Putting his hand on her leg, he leaned forward. “My team and I are going to succeed, and for you to go to Brussels on some half-baked lead doesn’t make any sense.”

“If there is even a small chance to have access to Vazov’s business empire, then I think it’s worth it.” Before she could say more, the waitress came by and Sam ordered them another round along with some food. “I’m on no one’s radar and so there’s no reason to believe this trip would constitute any kind of risk.”

“We haven’t talked about what happened this weekend and what it means, and I think we should.”

Looking from side to side, she shook her head. “I’m not discussing that in public.”

“I’m not talking about the physical connection but the emotional one. What I said to you on Saturday night and then again on Sunday stands. You are mine, and it’s my job to protect you and make sure you’re as safe and happy as possible.”

“Did I agree to that?” Seeing him move closer and take her hand let her know that flippancy wasn’t going to be tolerated.

“I know you remember what you said along with the connection we created together, so please don’t insult us by pretending it doesn’t mean anything.” He lifted her chin and pressed a kiss to her mouth. “This isn’t some bullshit casual dating thing that’s happening.”

“Sam…”

“No, Lucky, I’m not going to back off and pretend like this is no big deal.” He moved closer and put his mouth next to her ear. “Our bodies were as close as two could be both figuratively and literally, and when I left my mark on you and made you forget to breathe it was about melding us together so that nothing could separate us. There’s passion, sex, love and then there’s the thing we created.”

The heat of his breath warmed her skin, and no matter how much she wanted to deny the connection, she couldn’t. This thing that was happening was the real deal and she couldn’t disrespect it by not taking his concerns into consideration. “How can I make this situation okay?”

He looped his arm around her shoulders and tugged her closer. “By working together. You’re not a lone wolf and I’m sure we can come up with a solution that makes us both happyish.”

“Compromise.”

“Yes, ever heard of it?”

Pushing her hand into his chest, she let out a laugh. “I have, and sarcasm isn’t an ingredient.
