Chapter Seven

Kami stepped out of the parking garage at Breck’s building to head to the front entrance. He turned away from Kieralyn and Aidan, facing her direction. She darted behind the nearest column and a large potted orange blossom. Squatting in the shadows of the building she glanced through the plant to see if he’d spotted her. If he did and headed her way… Well, hiding in the shadows didn’t make her reappearance less questionable.

He turned back to Kieralyn and Aidan near the courtyard fountain, apparently unaware of her presence.

She couldn’t claim surprise that the agents had gone to him after visiting the mansion, but it appeared that he knew the man as well as he’d seemed to know Kieralyn. Their association ran deeper than what it would be if they’d been unknown to him before meeting for a case.

Aidan maintained the alertness she’d seen at the mansion, but his shoulders were slightly more relaxed. Kieralyn grinned and bumped her shoulder against Breck’s making him smile, though he portrayed an edginess Kami hadn’t seen before. It was a lot like what she’d witnessed in Aidan.

Was Breck on edge because he was helping with an investigation? Had he booked her for the fundraiser in the hopes of getting inside information on Elegant Entertainment?

Kami leaned against the building and watched Breck. She hadn’t stopped thinking about him since she’d walked out of his office that morning. Her fascination wasn’t all due to his air of mystery.

The back of his suit jacket shifted as if he flexed his shoulder blades either from pain or in an attempt to hold tight to a control he wanted to let loose. He’d done the same thing last night when she’d been seducing him. He’d maintained a fierce control, but his body had twitched and quivered, giving his reactions to her away.

His touches made her body burn.

His caresses made her feel cherished.

His gazes made her feel connected.

Every time he’d met her eyes across the dance floor and when he’d watched her in his apartment… He made her feel as if they could have a close relationship, which was nuts.

She’d seen an admirable man who cared about other people rather than just the almighty dollar. She wouldn’t mind a relationship with him, but his job and his suits represented the corruption of power she avoided.

It didn’t matter that watching him now set her temperature simmering with anticipation.

It didn’t matter that he was the first man in her life to make her wonder if she could make an exception to her no-suited-men-allowed rule.

It didn’t matter that he made her laugh. Only her current goal mattered. Breck Lawson was off-limits beyond the scope of her role.

Her instincts hummed, telling her she’d stumbled into something bigger and more dangerous than she’d anticipated. And Breck was involved. Or the target. Or the target because he was involved.

Kieralyn and Aidan headed toward a car parked near the curb. Breck turned toward the office. Kami leaned forward and repositioned so she’d know when he was inside.
