“If you think you can get away with whatever you want just because you’re bigger than me, think again. I know where you sleep, I have many talents, and if I decided to get even for the shit you just pulled, I could crush you with less effort than it takes to get a manicure. Be grateful that I’m the bigger person.”

Jax’s eyes widened at Dylan’s threat, but surprisingly, he took it in stride. “I’m sorry. I didn’t see much choice at the time.”

He hadn’t let go of my hand since we made it back to ASI and I was only now realizing how much trouble I’d unintentionally caused for them. It was a still a little shocking that he didn’t have one ounce of hesitation being affectionate with another man around the people he worked with, but not one of them had even blinked at the gesture. I, on the other hand, was having trouble focusing on anything else. But even if it made me anxious, it was my fault he was feeling so protective, so I let him have it.

Dylan sighed. “If you’d just waited, we could have come up with something that might have kept Logan out of trouble.”

Leo scoffed from his spot against the wall behind Dylan’s desk. We’d walked in to find Dylan pacing the lobby with Leo and Roman backing him up like two bodyguards, which I supposed they were. Neither of the bigger men spoke, letting Dylan handle the situation himself, but we were definitely outnumbered here.

“And you.” He turned his attention to me. “You might not technically be one of my men, but I expected more from you, detective.”

Damn, he was good. Knew just where to strike to make the guilt hit hard. “I really didn’t mean to make anyone worry. There was an opportunity to get some information and I usually investigate things on my own. I didn’t even realize you were trying to keep track of me.”

Some of Dylan’s anger deflated a little with my explanation and he shook his head. “Please tell me how you found yourself inside a building with that much security.”

“A resident let me in. She was carrying several bags and I offered to help. Moye had been arguing with a man I didn’t recognize in the parking lot and they went inside before we did. I asked if she knew them, but she only moved in recently and didn’t know anyone yet. At that point, I figured they must have gone into an apartment and I wasn’t going to get anything else, but the woman hinted that she’d be at a lounge on the roof later. Figured I’d check it out before I left.”

“So you flirted your way into the building,” Jax huffed.

“No, I saw a woman struggling and carried her bags for her. She invited me into that building and just wanted to thank me. Anything I overheard while there was coincidence.”

Dylan sighed. “I think we can put the rest of the pieces together. You got a little too close, and Jax and Logan got you out of there.
