chapter nine

Diana was lying to him.

Rafe knew it in his bones. And he was the idiot who’d slept with her.

He was supposed to be the guy who could walk away. He was supposed to be the guy who wasn’t affected by any of this shit. But just the knowledge that he’d gotten it wrong twisted him up inside.

Give her a chance. There might be a reason for the lie. Because no doubt about it. She had been lying about checking her messages the morning he’d caught her in the kitchen. He hadn’t called her on it then. Because hell, he was a spy. He knew enough to keep his cards close to his vest until he was ready.

And with her naked in your bed, will you ever be ready?

Several days had passed since he’d crossed that line with her. And he kept trying to pin down the clues. Figure out what she was hiding. He wanted to be wrong. Prayed he was wrong.

The previous day when he’d left for the office, she had kissed him sweetly and told him she’d see him later. Her credit cards had arrived that morning, but neither one of them had uttered a single word about what that meant or about where this was going. When he’d gotten home, they’d continued in that vein, eating dinner together, neither addressing the elephant in the room. Diana didn’t seem inclined to confide in him either, Rafe thought grumpily.

When he’d asked her what was on her mind last night, he’d hoped it would at least start the conversation about what her plans were going forward. But she’d distracted him with kisses. You let yourself be distracted.

It burned a hole in Rafe’s chest that he really didn’t know much about her at all. Except her name. That was it. If you were smart, you would have done a background check. He shoved that thought aside. Woulda, shoulda, coulda.

Before he’d slept with her, she was just a woman he was helping. There was nothing she could gain access to in his apartment. His safe was national-security tight. Sure, she had access to his security panel, but that was just for the house. She was welcome to anything in there that she could carry. And if she tried to make off with the Decker, she’d get a nasty surprise. The thing was booby-trapped.

He didn’t use the same password for anything. Both his computer and his safe would require hacker-level decryption equipment.

So he’d had no need to worry about exactly who she was or finding out all the dirty details about her life. Until now.

Next to him, Diana slumbered, completely unaware of the direction of his thoughts. It made him feel like a pussy, but he couldn’t deny himself the privilege of watching her when she was so vulnerable.

It felt ridiculous that he wasn’t sure how to talk to a woman, but he honestly hadn’t had much practice in these types of situations. From his covert work, he was used to using… other methods when he needed information from someone.
