CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

Parker abandoned his coffee and jogged until he came up beside her sweet body speeding through Union Station’s wide corridor. “Give me a second.”

“Nope. Bad idea.”

A wave of men’s glances followed her. Not a single man could walk by without staring, and she didn’t seem to notice. She hit the escalators, and Parker stayed with her as a new rush of people departing from a train swallowed them with briefcases and rolling suitcases. Lexi quickly moved to another platform then slid behind a black gate, ignoring a large red-and-white “Closed to Public” sign. Parker stayed on her six as people bustled around.

“Lexi, come on.”

“Leave me alone.”

But he didn’t. Wouldn’t. Suddenly they were alone in a maintenance hallway. She pushed through another door covered in dust and cobwebs that creaked when it opened into a service alley. It was dark, dank, and dirty. They were somewhere between the rails and a garage. Exhaust and the smell of metal hung in the air. Lexi never slowed, an old pro in the back tunnels of Union Station. That didn’t thrill him.

Enough. He reached for the sharp angle of her shoulder. “Where are you going—”

The little blonde spun on him, helmet in hand as a weapon, and smashed it toward his face.

“Seriously?” Parker ducked, grabbed her arm, and spun her around so that the sinful round of her backside was pressed against his thighs. “Don’t be like that.”

Sweet citrus drifted into his nose when she reached back and ran her hand into his hair. She didn’t pull, but she didn’t let go either. “I need you to go away.”

Parker belted his arm across her chest while he kept her helmet-wielding arm down. His lips brushed her ear, and at that moment, the citrus struck him. “You don’t need to take a swing at me.”

“You follow me into a back alley?” she whispered. “I can hit you if I want.”

He chuckled into her hair. “I’m not Matt, and you are Silver.”

“God.” She twisted in his hold, her lips coming within inches of his. “Leave it be.”

“Why would I want to do that?”

The brim of his ball cap pressed against the side of her head, sheltering him, giving him a moment to savor her. She smelled like lemons. Sweet and tart, which was exactly what she was like. Why he noticed and why he cared jumbled together. Truth was, knowing Silver, the way the hacker could work a job, how intelligent Silver was, how much of a challenge… it all shifted what had already been extraordinarily hot and full of potential to something with years’ worth of gravity and depth.

Their tension multiplied the sexual charge that had been there in spades. Whatever he’d ignored after he’d driven away that night weeks ago was nothing compared to the lightning pulsing between them. She felt it too—he knew that without a doubt.

“You were here to work,” he whispered. “I was too.”

“Good for you, Parker.”

And that was his in. “Try BlackDawn.”

Her head whipped up, her glare disbelieving. “Excuse me?”

He smiled as he watched her process his screen name.
