Zia…

It seemed Derrick was serious about the truce.

When he wasn’t actively fighting me protecting him, he wasn't too bad. He still got a bit grouchy and growly at me on occasion, but for the most part, we learned to co-exist. He was still insisting I sleep in the bed. And we'd come up with a compromise and put a pillow in between us. He stayed on his side, and for the life of me, I couldn't understand why the hell I was disappointed by that.

Sure you can’t.

That particular morning, I had my hand on his bare chest. And God, it was like touching carved granite. We both woke up, neither one of us particularly acknowledging that ‘hey, there had been touching’ or that I was so hyper-aware of everything that he did, every move he made.

It was Saturday, so we weren't going into the office. He didn’t go through his usual morning routine, so he had the sexiest scruff I had ever seen in my life. It made me want to bite his chin. He had his laptop open and he was staring at it like usual, muttering to himself as he tapped. It was an endearing little habit. Like he was silently talking to himself. Not words I could understand, but still, I could tell he was irritated by it.

"You want to go somewhere?"

He blinked as his gaze flickered to mine. "What?"

"Just... I don't know. Do you want to go somewhere? We've been cooped up between here and the office. I thought maybe we could go out, get some fresh air. You can bring the laptop. You can work. But just in another location, I guess."

His brow furrowed. "See? I told you. You like me."

"I don't like you. I'm just saying I'm going stir crazy. I'm on duty today, and Tamsin is on duty too. We can go sit somewhere as like, friends or something."

His grin flashed, and God, I was sure I was pregnant. That was how you got pregnant, right?

"You do like me."

"No, you're still a pompous jackass."

"Yeah, but I'm a pompous jackass that you like."

"Oh my God, never mind. We'll stay here. Cooped up."

"Cooped up in about four thousand square feet."

"Whatever. Still cooped up."

His stormy eyes fixed on mine. "No, you’re right. Let's go out."

"I don't want to go out if you're still being pompous," I huffed.

"I'm always pompous. You like me anyway."

He didn't shave, and he went totally casual. And God, he was possibly even more delicious to look at.

I went and changed into a summer dress. One with pockets so I could conceal my weapons easily. His gaze flickered over my body briefly. "You clean up nice."

"I always clean up nice. I look nice at the office too."

He swallowed hard. "At the office is different."

I studied him as we marched out to the foyer. "Why is it different in the office?"

"In the office, you've got that hot-librarian thing going. It's very distracting."

I blinked. "So you're saying that I'm not hot now?"

His gaze flickered toward me again, settling on my breasts.
