Nadia was in big trouble.

Every layer she peeled away from John, she was falling deeper and deeper under his spell. His bossiness was catnip. Add in his protectiveness and that roguish charm of his … who the hell was he hiding beneath that badass CIA persona he’d been showing everyone?

She took a sip of water before spooning more fried rice into her mouth. John had returned his attention to his phone, so she took that opportunity to reflect on the past forty-eight hours.

“I like the kind of man I am with you.”

A simple, heartfelt statement that she felt right in her soul. Like John, Nadia had worn many identities not only in her foray into cosplay, but also the many different times she dyed her hair. But with John, she’d uncovered a passionate woman hiding inside her. All her life she loved living in the land of make believe, but in real life? She liked to play it safe. She liked numbers, science, and computer code because it was something that had order and logic. They were quantifiable. She understood now why she was pissed at John when he threw her headlong into the Mexican op. He was pushing her outside her comfort zone. She had a feeling he did that on purpose. He was perceptive. That asshole. But he was her asshole. She thought possessively.

He glanced up from whatever he was scrolling. “We need to make an appointment for your prenatal.”

Nadia stopped chewing. “Ah … I think that’s best when I’m four weeks?” She wasn’t sure. Nadia hadn’t even opened one website about pregnancy.

“Yes, but the first ultrasound can be done at six weeks,” he told her. “We also need to start you on prenatal vitamins, ASAP.”

“Okay, I guess you’re on top of it,” she laughed.

His eyes crinkled at the corners. “So, in about two weeks then.” He put down his phone. “I’ll try not to make decisions for you, but I know an agency physician I trust.”

“John?” She watched him carefully. “Are you paranoid because you have enemies who could get to me?”

He blew out a breath. “I’m trying not to think that way, but Bristow and I have been made, and we’re not sure how Dmitry Vovk will react to his brother’s murder.”

“That’s on the CTTF. I’ve read Kelso’s report. Kelso dropped Maxim, and the ballistics that belonged to your team were attributed to a Latino gang that had a beef with the Ukrainians. Followed them, and ambushed them when Maxim attacked Kelso.”

“I still want to take precautions,” John said. “DNI is concerned with what happened with the Automatic Traffic Control System. If that happened to air traffic control, it could be catastrophic.”

Nadia had been helping Cal Traffic safeguard their systems all day that she didn’t have the luxury of thinking of any other threats. But John once told her the difference between the CIA and the FBI. The FBI was reactive, while the CIA identified future threats, especially those coming from outside the homeland.

She finished her fried rice, and the carbs didn’t take long to make her sleepy.
