“A penny for your thoughts,” I said, as I rubbed Aidan’s shoulders.

He was tense, I could feel it in his shoulders, back, and neck. Not only that, he’d been a bit shorter and more snarky since that phone call from Amon earlier in the day. I didn’t know who the guy was or what he was about, but I didn’t like the tension it caused. I was hoping he would talk to me about it.

We curled up on his couch after dinner. It was the second night in a row I stayed over with him, but as we sat there on his couch, he seemed more distant than usual. Quieter, too. All throughout dinner, he’d hardly said a word, letting me do most of the talking. Not that I had a problem with that, but it worried me to see him so lost in his thoughts. Getting him to carry on a conversation with me was like pulling teeth.

Aidan sighed, relaxing and let his body melt against mine with his eyes partially closed. He seemed content as we snuggled together on his sofa, letting some soft jazz music wash over us and fill the room.

“I’m just being pulled in too many directions, you know? Spread a little thin.” He surprised me by opening up so easily. He opened his eyes, but instead of looking into mine, he stared straight up at the ceiling. I could see the tension and strain on his face. “The syndicate, work, my own brother—and let’s not forget the fact that someone, somewhere, wants me dead.”

“Not to sound bossy, but I think staying alive should probably be your biggest priority,” I said with a wink.

“Aye, I know,” he said. “Where do I even start? I’d like to think there were so few, it would be easy to narrow down a list of people who want me dead. But all things considered—”

“In our line of work, it could be anyone. Disgruntled clients, families of disgruntled clients. Anybody, really.”

He nodded but said nothing. And then, of course, there was what he does in addition to his career and the family he belonged to. But that went without saying. That lifestyle had plenty of inherent risks. But as lawyers, we tended to make a lot of enemies, too. So he was right about that, it could be anyone. A past client he failed to free, the victim of one of the clients he’d freed. There was an incredibly lengthy line of people who hated Aidan’s guts—and that was even before we’d even gotten into the whole organized crime thing.

“What can I say? I’m a wanted man,” he said with a smirk.

He turned to me, and I stared into his eyes as he looked into mine. We both smiled.

“Fuck yeah, you’re wanted. You’re not entirely wrong on that count.”

“Mmm... I’d say that counts for a lot.”

He leaned into me, kissing me, and my heart still palpitated like the first time we’d kissed. As I relished in the feel of
