“WHAT’S WITH THE dude and the dog?” Michelle glanced over her shoulder to where Duchess was curled up beside the bull.

Crap, they hadn’t talked about their cover story to explain Duchess, just what to say to explain Finn.

“He trains dogs.”

Around her the chaos that normally accompanied her mandatory staff meetings ceased. All attention zeroed in on her, which usually wouldn’t have been an issue. Today, it made her want to squirm.

“Oh, like service animals?” Heather asked.

“Something like that,” Tucker muttered. She hated lying to her team. “Duchess goes with him everywhere.”

Kayla sighed and slumped into her chair. “That’s sweet.”

She didn’t want to admit it, but yeah, the way he was with Duchess was kinda sweet.

“Tucker.” Finn’s sharp voice cut across the room, contradicting the thought she’d just had.

She held up a hand in his direction, giving him the sign to wait for a second. Everyone’s attention had turned from her, and Marcy had just started telling them about her mom’s stint in the hospital. She’d been out for a week dealing with that and Tucker wanted to know how things were going.

That was another reason for staff meetings—for everyone to bond and socialize.

“No,” a rough voice growled in her ear. “Not in a minute. Now.”

He swept a quick, brittle smile around the group. “Sorry, ladies, I need to borrow her for a bit.” His words were an apology, but his tone was a command.

Which pissed Tucker off.

“Whatever you need can wa—”

Her words clogged in her throat when she turned. One good look at the thunderous expression on Finn’s face and her heart stumbled inside her chest. His deep green eyes were shooting straight into her, blazing with anger.

In that split second she realized she’d never seen him truly livid. Sure, he’d been irritated in the middle of that fight. And she sometimes rubbed him the wrong way, but he seemed to think even that was cute. Staring up at him, she could imagine the men and women he’d caught with illegal drugs cowering before him.

Because as strong as she was, she had to fight that urge herself. Not because she was scared—everything inside her knew Finn would never physically hurt her—but because whatever had upset him wasn’t going to be good.

“Now, Tucker. I need to talk to you now.”

“Monique, could you take over, please?” she said, not even bothering to turn around to face her team. “I’m sorry, everyone. I’ll be back in just a few.”

“I wouldn’t count on it,” Finn growled beneath his breath.

Shaking his grip off, Tucker put some space between them.

He didn’t seem to care, just made a curt movement with his hand obviously issuing Duchess a command to stay. He stalked across the bar, and headed down the back hallway and into her tiny office. Holding the door open for her to enter, he slammed it shut with a resounding bang and then flipped the lock for good measure.

“What’s going on, Finn?”

“I can’t believe I bought it.” He stalked forward, shrinking the space between them.
