Billie walked into the lobby of the restaurant. Her hair was down around her shoulders and she had actually used makeup. She stepped carefully through the doorway, grateful for her flats because she knew she would break her neck if she tried to wear heels. Her dress was long and reached the floor with a low-cut bodice. The deep blue fabric sparkled as she moved—not quite her usual style, she thought with amusement—and she wore a simple silver chain around her neck with a blue teardrop diamond. The gem was one of the few things she had ever splurged on in her life.

Marcus stood and pulled at his tie when his eyes met hers. “Wow. I didn’t even realize it was you who walked in. Besides that op in Paris when you had to go to the black-tie affair, I don’t think I’ve seen you out of your Wild Bill gear.”

She shrugged and eased the fur wrap off her shoulders. “If you forgot, I am a girl beneath it all.”

He chuckled. “I remember the pole dance, trust me.”

Her companion approached the hostess and whispered in her ear. She nodded and turned. “Right this way, Mr. Richards.”

Billie raised an eyebrow. “So, this is what the other side does while I am out in the thick of it. You pick up other personas and live in the lap of luxury while you eat in Michelin Star restaurants and own tuxedos.”

They sat in a small private room. It was vibrantly painted with abstract shapes and colors on the floor and deep orange furniture. The hostess walked away quickly, and Marcus pulled out Billie’s chair. She smirked and sat, making sure not to catch the edge of her dress on the table. He took his own seat and held his hand up when Billie went to say something.

She shut up and pouted at him instead. He chuckled and retrieved a small black box from his jacket. It had no markings on it at all except for a small, blinking red light on the top. He typed something into his phone and waited a moment until the light flashed green.

Marcus smiled and slid his phone into the breast pocket of his jacket. “There. No one can listen in now.”

Billie raised an eyebrow. Marcus cleared his throat and looked at the menu. “Probably, that is.”

She chuckled. “I’ll take probably. No one should suspect anything since we have never gone out before. Anyway, given that, who would have expected you to ask me?”

They perused the menu in silence until the waitress arrived. She looked smart with her hair pulled back tightly in a bun, a perfectly pressed black button-up, and black pants. Looking every inch the professional, she stood with her hands behind her back and smiled at them. “Have you made a selection or would you prefer a taster choice this evening?”

Billie closed her menu. “We will both have the tasting selection. Thank you.”

She took the menus from them and smiled at Marcus. “Will you have
