Chapter 43

Landon

“What in the fresh hell are you doing, Lattimer?!”

I rake a hand through my hair and clench my teeth so hard my jaw begins to ache. “It wasn’t work related, so it’s none of your damn business.”

Silence greets my response. When he speaks again, his tone is composed but still icy. “It’s my business when you’re jeopardizing everything.”

Christ. Reporting to the Vice President is one thing. But to report to him on top of it just adds to the fuckery. “Look, it was late. I’m not an asshole, so I made sure she got home okay.”

I shift against my couch cushions because just bringing up Kennedy has my dick saluting, ready for another round.

Of course, he’s got some sick psychic senses and calls me out. “You fucked her.” He doesn’t pose this as a question but as a statement, and I bristle because what happened tonight is no one else’s goddamn business.

I force my words from between clenched teeth. “I got her home safely, and then I went home. End of story.”

I’m not sharing one iota with anyone. We might’ve made this agreement before I knew her, but all bets are off if he thinks I’ll give him any evidence of what went on between Kennedy and me behind closed doors.

Being with her, regardless of her rules and aversion to kissing, was a complete game changer. And when she laughed while I held her on my lap, something just clicked.

I knew, at that moment, I wanted to hear that laughter for the rest of my life.

Which means I’ve complicated things to epic fucking proportions.

“Get the damn job done, Lattimer. I’m relying on you to get to the bottom of things.”

I tip my head back against the cushion and close my eyes, a sudden weariness plaguing me. “I know. And I’m working on it.”

“You better.” There’s the briefest pause before he lowers his voice, the warning tone obvious. “Don’t fuck around with her, Lattimer. She’s not like us.”

My eyes flash open as agitation courses through me, but I stifle it. It’s not worth getting into. He won’t back down, and I sure as shit won’t either. “If that’s all, I’m ready to crash.”

“That’s it.” His tone is clipped, and I can tell he’s irritated with me.

“Night.”

“Good night. Be smart.” Click.

Be smart. That sure as shit is ironic because I’m pretty damn sure I wasn’t being “smart” when I stripped Kennedy from the waist down and ate out her pussy.

“Don’t fuck around with her, Lattimer. She’s not like us.”

His words play on repeat while I brush my teeth and shower. It isn’t until I crawl into bed that I wonder why he made that sound like a bad thing.

She’s not like us. She’s an outsider here. A loner. A woman who doesn’t smile or laugh freely—who didn’t until tonight. With me.

As I drift off to sleep, Kennedy’s laughter lingers in the back of my mind.

It’s the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a while.
