Chapter 12

As soon as they left the lawyer’s office, Jenny looped her arm around Allan’s. “You know, it’s almost a relief I’m not responsible for all that money when I think some terrorist like Wilson could use it to kill lots of people.”

Allan kissed her cheek, glad she could be so cheerful. But he couldn’t help thinking about Stevens, the storm cloud threatening overhead, just waiting to take Jenny from him in a bold and rash engagement later that evening.

Jenny yanked at Allan’s arm slightly. “Take me to another shop.”

He looked down at her. Her mouth curved up dangerously. He knew just what she had in mind, too. Lingerie. Something that would no doubt drive him insane. On the other hand, anything she wore tantalized him, even the white dress that exposed her shoulders, her soft skin just imploring him to taste it.

He must have been the only agent ever to have been forced to marry a woman in the line of duty, who would make him a wealthy man if she died. He just couldn’t let her die, but if anything did happen to her, he wouldn’t keep the money. But now, he wondered just what she was up to. She couldn’t be considering his consummating the marriage, could she?

Allan turned to Cameron. “Drive us to the shopping plaza around the corner.”

Shortly after they arrived at the lingerie shop, Jenny picked out what she wanted, but Allan made Dale stay at the door while he paid for the purchase. No way did Allan want Dale to get an eyeful of what she would be wearing tonight.

When the clerk held it up, then set it on a piece of tissue, he noticed how similar it was to the one Jenny had worn the night she’d been knocked unconscious in her home. Pink, slinky, and ultra-revealing. It was long enough to reach just above her knees, but it wasn’t the kind of fabric that hid a whole lot. Instead, it encouraged the viewer to look just that much harder.

Already his boxers needed to be shifted as tight as they’d become.

The clerk handed Allan the bag. He took Jenny’s hand in his and walked her to the door. “Anything else?”

“No, thanks, Allan. I’m still a bit tired. I wouldn’t mind lying down for a while.”

A sensible idea. She needed to rest and
