Five

Nash had to hand it to himself. He didn’t think he’d be able to drive away from Mike last night. The knowledge that the giant house was probably lined with TREX agents helped.

And she was one of them. He still hadn’t wrapped his brain around that one.

Standing at the coffee machine, stirring sugar into the piss water the bureau called coffee, he contemplated his next move. Having her partner with him only slowed him down. He wanted to get his hands on the ringleader and couldn’t do that without putting her in danger.

Then again, she was TREX now. They went looking for danger. That meant she’d be able to handle the pressure. He hoped. Dear God, how he hoped. If having her with him somehow got her hurt, he’d never forgive himself.

What was he thinking? She’d always been able to take on more than he could. This would be no different. They had one more CI to track down before he contemplated pulling out his secret weapon.

He knew what TREX wanted, and they wouldn’t get it. No one would. Nash would take the identity of his true confidential informant to the grave. Hopefully, it wouldn’t come to that. Using Mike against him was a nice play. Futile, but nice.

“Mike!” Director Lawson greeted her like a damn kid would his favorite teacher, with a little too much excitement and an underlying energy a kid would never understand. Nash rolled his eyes and growled deep in the back of the throat. When the director pointed him out and stepped aside, granting Mike a direct path, Nash’s growl became more pronounced.

Today she had on a pair of snug black jeans that hugged the curve of her ass and a sleeveless, button-up shirt that had too many buttons fastened. Even with how little skin she showed, he still reacted, his slacks a little tighter. She smiled as she made her way over, but the nervousness in her pretty features cracked her façade.

He shifted just as she rounded the counter so she wouldn’t see how obvious his body responded to the sight of her. Ignoring her as she stood there waiting for him to acknowledge her, Nash added more sugar to his coffee and slowly stirred.

Instead of her getting pissed, she used her hip to bump him out of the way and grabbed a mug to pour herself a cup. Coffee sloshed all over his hand. He cussed and flicked his fingers to remove what he could before glaring at her when she handed him a napkin. “A little jumpy this morning? Maybe you should switch to decaf.”

“Maybe you should watch where you swing those hips,” he countered and wiped the rest of the sticky, sugar-laced concoction off his hands. His glare melted the instant she lifted one of those eyebrows. Damn, how he loved it when she looked at him like that, daring him to push her.

She leaned her backside against the counter and regarded him, the mug hovering right at her lips. Her dark eyes danced.
