Ryan let the hotel room door swing shut behind him.

“Could you get me a latte?”

Had she really just asked him that? Like he hadn’t just bared his fucking soul to her? Fuck. He shook his head at himself. When was he going to stop expecting her to feel things like he did? She was a goddamn spook and they weren’t known for their feelings.

He took the six flights of stairs to the lobby because he couldn’t stand the idea of being cooped up even for a short elevator ride. He strode through the lobby, his gaze automatically taking in the civilians waiting to check in or out and the hotel staff with their professional smiles.

He pushed through the glass front doors and out into fresh air. He didn’t want coffee; he just needed to move, to get rid of this tension riding him. Tension caused by one pig-headed, gorgeous spook who wanted a fucking latte.

He breathed deep and increased his pace. He’d always been more into their relationship than she had. Not that he’d known that. She was such a good actress. He’d thought she’d loved him. Hell, he’d asked her to marry him and she’d said no. Why did he think things would be different now?

People edged away from him on the sidewalk and he knew his scowl was deep and fierce, but he just didn’t care that he was scaring strangers. He needed to punch something. Sutton had always driven him crazy. Crazy with need. Crazy with love. Just plain crazy. And she was doing it again.

He had to keep things professional between them.

Professional, like making a contract where she sleeps with him if she breaks it? Yeah, that was really fucking professional. He blew out a harsh breath. He was a former Navy SEAL commander, not a schoolboy in love for the first time.

But he was in love.

Dammit. He stopped walking and his shoulders sagged. That was the crux of the problem, right there. He was in love.

And Sutton wasn’t.

Time for him to face reality, and act like a man. The woman didn’t want him. Oh, she might want sex with him, but she didn’t really want him. It was time to move on.

He spotted a coffee shop across the street. Might as well get her a latte and they could go back to pretending they’d never cared for each other while they hunted for a killer. And after it was over, he definitely wouldn’t make her come stay with him for a weekend to take pictures. He more than regretted the deal they’d made. She could disappear into the spook network that she loved, and he could go back to his beach house.

Maybe he should get a dog.

He ordered a latte and a black coffee when his phone rang.

“Marchetti.” He stuck the phone between his chin and shoulder while he grabbed the drinks.

“It’s Dante. Are you with Sutton?”

Ryan stopped. The tone of Dante’s voice made him shift into full combat mode. He set the drinks on a spare table.
