When they settled down on a leather couch in Nico’s office, Kay was still getting over how large it was. “Do you realize your office is bigger than the Oval office?” she asked him as she sat on the edge of the couch, and folded her legs.

Nico smiled. He was so tired he couldn’t even pretend. He was leaned back. “Always got politics on your mind, don’t you?”

Kay smiled. “It’s all I know,” she admitted. “And I’m sure you’ve been in the Oval before,” she added.

Nico didn’t respond. He’d had “clients” who worked out of the West Wing too. But not even for Kay would he ever divulge such information. “You look well-rested,” he said instead.

Kay realized he didn’t respond to her comment, but she was used to that. He did not discuss much of any of his personal business with her. But she didn’t push the issue. He had a right to his privacy. For now, at least. “I didn’t sleep as well as I usually slept,” she admitted. She wasn’t a liar and wasn’t going to become one with Nico.

Nico smiled. “Yes, I agree,” he said, taking her hand into his. “The few hours I did get some rest were tortuous.”

“Why didn’t you come over?”

Nico hesitated. His other business interest, the business Kay knew nothing about, had him detained most of the night. “I didn’t get in until very late,” he said.

Kay didn’t like to hear that. What was he doing out so late? But she didn’t question it either. Nico hadn’t given her any reason yet to mistrust him. She wasn’t going to invent reasons. “You work too hard,” she said.

“What about you?” he asked her. “Have you heard anything?”

She nodded. “I was holding out hope that the last interview I had would be the charm. It seemed promising. But they went in a different direction also.”

Nico hated to hear it. “I’m sorry, Kay. Who was the idiot that turned you down this time?”

“I’m not telling you because I don’t want any pressure applied to these people.” She remembered how he was willing to strongarm Eddie Drake into hiring her back. “I don’t want that. They have a right to hire whomever they want to hire, not who my boyfriend says they have to hire.”

Nico noted how she referred to him as her boyfriend. And he realized he wasn’t upset by the label. Other women had tried it in his past, and he quickly shot it down and left their asses. But this time? He liked it. Which would mark the very first time he ever allowed any woman to refer to him by such an intimate term of endearment. But it was Kay. And Kay, he knew, was so different!

“You think Senator Asshole is discouraging them from hiring you?” he asked her.

“Maybe. But they have a right to listen to him.”

“Stop being so damn magnanimous!” Nico said angrily. “You worked your ass off for that fool. You don’t know how badly I wanted to jack his ass up and give him a taste of his own medicine.
