CONNOR

Vanessa picked the worst time to tell me that after this assignment with Margot is complete, I will be sent on a new assignment to Mexico City. Usually, I like finding out about a new assignment, but all I can think about is the fact that I won't be seeing Margot every day once we find out who has been threatening her.

I wasn’t lying when I said nothing is more important to me than her safety, but the idea of waking up and not seeing her hurts me more than any wound I got during my time in combat. What I thought was feelings of overprotectiveness quickly becomes apparent that it's so much more. I'm in love with Margot, and I don't want to spend a day away from her.

We arrive at the hotel and head towards the ballroom where the event is being held. It’s like another world to me when we walk in. The decorations alone probably cost more than a year of my salary, not to mention the gowns, the jewelry, and the tuxedos.

Margot's hand finds mine like she knows that I need her to take the lead in this situation for once.

My team has already done the necessary background checks on all the guests and staff working tonight. No one’s name popped up in our system as a possible threat, but that doesn’t mean that someone couldn’t be in here that wasn’t on that list.

As Margot leads me through the crowd, stopping to speak with people she knows, she introduces me as her date. Many of them eye me skeptically, but no one says anything. The closest we get to having a one on one conversation is on the dance floor.

“Dance with me,” Margot leans over and whispers to me after dinner.

I glance over at the dance floor and see a few couples walking out arm and arm to sway slowly to the music.

I shake my head. “I don’t think so.”

"Come on. I promise I won't step on your toes."

I give her a half-smile. "It's not my toes I'm worried about."

"I'll take my chances," she chuckles and pushes back from the table, and stands up. "Come on. One dance, please."

I'm quick to notice that many of the men here, without dates, are giving Margot hungry stares. I fight the urge to punch them for looking at her like a piece of meat. She's beautiful, there's no question about that, but there is so much more to Margot than her looks. She's smart, funny without realizing she is half the time and protective of those she cares about. None of them could appreciate Margot the way I do.

She leads me out onto the dance floor. I loop my arm around her waist and pull her close to me. I know that my presence here is a cover, but I'm not about to waste this opportunity to know what it feels like to hold her in my arms.

“Is this your first gala?” Margot asks, looking up at me through her dark lashes.
