Chapter 13

Marco drove them to Adamo. After the incident in Kat’s bedroom, he’d kept a careful distance while they’d finished getting ready for the day.

Beside him, she wore basic black slacks, a blue blouse, and minimal makeup—definitely a business look. Yet he desired her just as much as when she’d been all done up for their date. Hell, he would still want her if she wore a paper bag. Something about this woman called to him in a primal way.

What the hell had he been thinking? There in the bedroom she’d been so tempting with her tousled hair and her just - got - out - of - bed eyes. He’d been seconds away from yanking her body against his. He’d wanted to learn every inch of her skin, discover what it would take to make her body writhe under his.

But it wasn’t his place to explore that need. He wasn’t the man she needed to escape her painful past, not when he’d helped cause it. She deserved a man with a clean conscience.

No, he needed to focus on another primal instinct—to protect her. He needed to get himself in line. If he had given in to the urge in her bedroom, she’d never trust him, not when he was supposed to be protecting her, not if he couldn’t even protect her from himself.

They arrived at the building without incident—casual if stilted small talk in the car, but more importantly, no sign of any suspicious men. Perhaps while she was at work, he’d swing by the cemetery parking lot and see if her car was still being watched.

As he parked, she dug around in her purse. “Damn,” she said. “My work badge must be in my car.”

“I’m sure they can get you a temporary one.”

“I know.” But still, she looked concerned.

“Relax. I know the boss,” Marco said, trying at a little humor. “I can put a good word in for you.”

Once in the building, Marco walked Kat to her desk, much to her chagrin. He suspected she didn’t like having a personal escort who happened to be an Adamo. She probably thought the other employees would gossip.

He only wished there was actually something for them to gossip about.

Once she was seated, he leaned down. “Don’t leave for lunch.”

She gave him a pointed look. “I have no car, remember?”

A fair point, but he wanted to make himself clear—she wasn’t to go anywhere without him. He didn’t bother telling her not to leave at any other time, though. Her work ethic assured she wouldn’t be skipping out during business hours.

With one final glance at Kat, Marco headed in the direction of Tony’s office.

The door was open, so Marco walked in, making himself comfortable in the chair across from his brother’s desk.

“What?” Tony asked, not taking his eyes off his computer screen.

“What do you need help with? I’m at your disposal all day.”

Tony clicked his mouse a few more times, the sound echoing in the empty office, before turning his attention to his brother.
