The dark green Hummer sat in the same parking spot as it had the first time Gage had visited Fyra, under a large oak tree saved when the developers poured the concrete for Fyra’s new building.

Shade nearly obscured the monstrosity of a vehicle, but Cass found it easily. With a heightened sense of anticipation, she dashed across the parking lot in hopes of hopping into the Hummer before anyone saw her.

After the unproductive day she’d had, the last thing she should be doing was leaving work at three o’clock. In her current mood, it was the only thing she could have done. Besides, this was exactly where she was supposed to be. She’d promised the others she’d make progress with Gage and the leak. No one had to know she was happy to see him.

Hooky. It used to be one of their favorite code words and it still had the same punch. Maybe more because she was skipping out on the enormous pressure inside the walls of her company instead of a boring lecture in a drafty hall. A little thrill shot through her as she clambered up into the passenger seat of Gage’s car.

God, this sucked. She’d rather pretend they didn’t have any more complications between them apart from where to go so they could spend an illicit couple of hours together. Strictly in the name of sex, of course. Instead, she’d spend their time together with both eyes wide open for any signs of his involvement in her company’s troubles.

“Hey,” Gage said, flashing her a mischievous smile. “I thought I was in for at least a couple of rounds of sexy text messages designed to get you out of your purple cave. Silly me. If I’d have known all it was going to take was one, I’d have been by at lunchtime.”

“It’s Friday.” She waved it off as if she left early on Friday all the time, which was a flat-out lie. “I needed the break.”

Especially if the break involved the man she should be sticking to like Velcro—and not because he was lickable. Which he was.

Concern filled his gaze as he pulled out of the Fyra lot. “Rough day?”

God, she was slipping. How had he realized that instantly? Gage shouldn’t be the one person who saw through her, the only person who looked at her long enough to see her internal struggles.

She started to deny it but couldn’t. What would be the point? “Yeah.”

He drove in silence for a few minutes, but veered off the road after only a couple of miles. The Hummer rolled to a stop under the shade of a large oak tree near a deserted park.

“Come here,” he commanded as he pulled her into his arms easily despite the gearshift and steering wheel.

She should have struggled more. Should have pushed him away. Sex only, nothing more. That’s why she was here—for a much-needed release at the hands of a man very capable of delivering it.

But his soothing touch bled through her and nothing else could penetrate the little bubble surrounding her and Gage as he held her.
