Dean’s hand landed at the small of Violet’s back. She flinched at the contact and quickened her pace, sidestepping his touch and praying that Nikko wasn’t watching her right now. But if he wasn’t, someone definitely was. She could feel eyes on her, but she kept her gaze fixed straight ahead, trying to attract as little attention as possible.

What a mess . . . She couldn’t believe the CFA was going to hire Nikko a media girlfriend. As insane as that sounded, it was actually done all the time—window dressing used to generate gossip and “good” publicity. Not that that was any consolation, even if it was something Nikko was indisputably in need of. How was she going to be all right with Nikko going out with some other woman? She wasn’t. And that was just one more reason why getting involved right now wasn’t a good idea. He needed to be able to focus on his upcoming fight, to do whatever he had to do to get himself back in good standing with the CFA. She didn’t want him worrying about a relationship right now or her bruised feelings.

She murmured good-bye to Dean, again promising to have Penelope call his secretary about Nikko’s schedule, all the while swallowing back the bitter disappointment burning the back of her throat. For the briefest moment, she’d let herself hope there could be something between Nikko and her. Even if she was willing to put her reputation and career on the line for him, she wasn’t willing to ask him to risk his.

Vi quickened her steps as she rushed out the doors, the brisk clips of her heels becoming a sharp rap on the asphalt as she all but ran to her car. She had to get out of here. Her chest ached from her heart battering against her ribs. This was crazy. Why was she letting herself get so emotional over some guy, anyway? Because he wasn’t just some guy . . . He was Nikko Del Toro, a man who she’d fantasized over for six months, a man who was just as strong and powerful as he was broken and vulnerable, though he fought like hell to hide that part of himself.

If he only knew that was the part that had stolen her heart. It was that crack in his tough exterior, the chink in his armor that had given her the courage to reach out and take his hand on the plane, and it was that part of him now that drove her to fight so fiercely for him. She just never thought she’d be fighting against herself.

Lost in the conundrum of her thoughts, Vi was reaching for her car door when she felt someone grab her shoulder. Letting out a startled yelp, she spun around, surprised to see Cole Easton towering over her. Holy shit, he was intimidating—ice-blue eyes bored into hers.

“Sorry, I scared you, Doc.”

“It’s all right,” she said breathlessly, pressing her palm to her chest. “I’m sure my heart will start up again any minute.
