Hagan wasn’t fazed and actually laughed. Not a full body, over the top laugh, just a poised snicker. “After his reaction in Floyd’s last night, I don’t care what label you put on it,” he said. “I know you’re the woman I need.”

Acting like his statement was an advance, she cringed. “I’m not looking for a boyfriend either.”

“I’m a man of means,” he said, raising his hands from the couch to let them flop down at the wrists, presenting the room to her. “I have business interests all over the city. I could be helpful to you in your endeavors.”

“And what endeavors are those?” she asked. “Did you call me here to interrogate me or to seduce me?”

“Why can’t I do both?”

That was an easy one to answer. “You can try to do either. Neither will be successful.”

Drawing in a breath, he considered her for a few seconds before speaking with a new kind of light in his eyes that made her wary. “I do see it. Oh, Ryske does enjoy presenting me with a challenge.”

“Then you should attempt to corral him into coming here and presenting himself. I won’t answer your questions or give in to any advances. Trying to change my mind will be a waste of your time, which I’m sure is valuable.”

“It is,” he said, sitting up to reach for her wine to take a sip. “But time spent with a beautiful woman is never wasted.” He offered her the glass. “I assume you feared drugs or poison, I wouldn’t have drunk either. Now you know it’s safe… In any event, I like an opponent to have their wits. I am far more direct if I choose to eliminate them… as your boyfriend can attest.”

Harlow took the wine and sat back again. The glass was the closest thing she had to a weapon. If this turned ugly, she’d be prepared. If not, she might take courage from the alcohol. Though she’d wait to see if Hagan’s demeanor was changed by the liquid first.

Watching him like a hawk, she tried to spot any signs he could be under the influence of drugs. Except it seemed he was as keen-eyed as ever.

“Why don’t we call him up and ask him?” she said after a moment.

He tilted his head. “Thought you didn’t have a boyfriend.”

Ryske didn’t have that title in her life and probably wouldn’t want it given how things had ended between them the previous night. But if Hagan would let her near a phone to get anyone on the line, Ryske would be the man she’d choose to call. Regardless of how mad he was about what she’d said last night, or how she’d offended him, Harlow didn’t doubt for a second that he’d do whatever it took to make her safe.

That realization took her out of this tense moment and gave her clarity. Finding herself there, in the clutches of the crew’s enemy, Harlow’s perspective began to shift. Ryske wouldn’t make her promises. He wasn’t convinced they could have a future.
