Emma stared at the closed door, trying to understand what Cole was doing. When they’d left Del Conte’s office, all she had wanted to do was get back here and reach for him.

Instead, he’d just walked out. Leaving her confused, angry and feeling hollow inside.

She’d thought she was starting to understand him. Apparently not. She had half a mind to follow him down the corridor, screaming at him. Would Emma Ray do that, or would she roll over and do what her sugar daddy ordered?

Still unsure of her ultimate decision, she crossed the room on shaky legs and locked the door, hardly able to believe how fast everything had changed.

Cole had started a fight—and used that as an excuse to leave her in the room. What the hell was he thinking? Had he decided he could explore better on his own? Or what?

She sighed, aware that she’d gotten emotionally involved in the scenario they’d been acting out for the benefit of the people who were bugging this room. But her nerves were already raw, and she couldn’t hold her reactions in check.

She paced from the door to the bathroom and back again. It would serve him right if she went out and did some investigating on her own.

As soon as that plan formed, a chill went through her. This was a dangerous environment for a woman alone. Some guy would hit on her, and she’d have to fend him off. Maybe with extreme prejudice. Which would be out of character for Emma Ray.

But Cole wouldn’t have any problems with the female staff and guests. And apparently he’d had something in mind when he’d left.

Better wait for him to report back.

Still, his strategy galled her. Not just the strategy. His failure to consult her before leaving. Another male who assumed she’d just fall in line with what he wanted.

The thought sent her mind spinning in another direction. Back to the conversation in the car when she’d taken offense at his talking about her family. But if she was honest, she’d admit that she’d joined Decorah Security to get away from the domination of her father, who’d run their household like a military base. Either you obeyed the rules, or you were punished, often with his belt.

Still, she’d hung on his tales of outwitting thugs, white collar criminals and government operatives. Even so, there was no way she’d work for Kent Richards. Then she’d taken a class with Frank Decorah and thought that maybe he was the right kind of boss, even when she’d been prepared to leave if it turned out she’d made the wrong judgment call.

The job had worked out. Better than she’d hoped. She’d built a career in the company. But was Cole Marshall going to screw that up?

Not necessarily, she told herself. This is just one evening during one assignment. And she wasn’t going to throw their personal relationship into the mix.

She took a deep breath and then another, struggling to calm herself. Getting mad at Cole wasn’t going to do either one of them any good.
