Gemma was going to be the death of him.

Jude remained motionless inside the Mercedes, watching her Vespa's taillights disappear.

Enormous emotions roiled within him. Frustration and admiration. Longing and desire. He wasn't used to . . . feeling this much. Gemma had the power to take lighter fluid to his self-control.

He rubbed his thumb against the steering wheel repeatedly.

He regretted that her family had shown up at the restaurant. His mother was from a big, loud family similar to Gemma’s, so he had a soft spot for families like hers. If tonight had merely been a social outing for him, he'd have enjoyed them. He'd have been amused by all the redheads. He'd have spent time identifying each person's resemblance to Gemma. He'd have laughed at their antics.

As it was, he'd been painfully aware that Operation Scent-sible was riding on his shoulders. That Shannon and others were listening to the audio. That several agents were inside Pasta Bella and nearby.

Putting himself forward as Jude McConnell had been the only option, given the situation. However, the more people you introduced yourself to while utilizing your alias, the more complexity that could bring to a case. Gemma came from a family of long-time Mainers. The Camdens were long-time Mainers. He’d been concerned about the outside possibility that one of them might recognize him as a Camden. Those pressures had made juggling them all—Colette, especially—feel difficult.

He needed to stay clear on the fact that Gemma’s family's discovery of them was not Gemma’s fault. He'd been the one who'd relented to Cedric's assertion that they eat at her family's favorite restaurant. The run-in with her relatives was just one of those things that unexpectedly happened during UC ops and that an agent had to roll with.

Gemma's fragrance still lingered in the interior of his car.

With every breath he drew it in.

Hope and Spice.
