Tanner wanted to ask Orlando to repeat himself, but heâd already said it twice. Having him say it a third wouldnât change anything.
Tanner was Orlandoâs mate.
Heâd wanted a confirmation, but this wasnât how heâd imagined he would get it. Heâd thought he would be happy about it, but in this situation, he had no idea how to feel. He didnât even know if he could believe Orlando. It might be a lie that Orlando was saying to try to convince Tanner to allow him to go.
Tanner shouldnât even be considering that option, yet he was. If he really was Orlandoâs mate, he wanted to know what was happening, and he supposed he should give Orlando a chance to explain. This was the worst time and place to do this, unfortunately.
Tanner was going to have to take a risk. It might mean he would be fired as an enforcer, and he didnât know if he was ready to put his job in jeopardy.
Could he risk his mate, though?
Tanner didnât have an answer, and he didnât know what to do. His mate was more important than a job, even than being an enforcer. Hopefully, no other team member had noticed what was happening and Tanner would manage to get out of the situation and save both his mate and his job. Otherwise, he would have to live with the consequences of what he was about to do.
âShift back,â he ordered.
Orlando leaned forward. He was standing in front of the window, entirely naked. In any other circumstance, Tanner would have been staring, but as it was, he couldnât look away from Orlandoâs face.
Orlandoâs expression was enough to tell Tanner that he wasnât lying. They truly were mates, and it was tearing Orlando apart to admit it.
It made Tanner angry, but it also told him he was doing the right thing. He wouldnât be able to live with himself if he gave up his mate without even listening to him. That meant they needed time and space away from the other enforcers, and they werenât going to get it now.
âPlease,â Orlando repeated.
Tanner shook his head. âThereâs no time to do this now. You have to swear to me that youâre going to go to my apartment.â
Orlando blinked. âWhat do you mean?â
âI want answers, and youâre going to give them to me. If youâre not in my apartment when I arrive later tonight, Iâll make sure the enforcers know youâre the thief. Iâll go after you myself, and I wonât let go until youâre behind bars.â
It would break Tannerâs heart, but he could hear the others walking around the house, including those who had been sent upstairs with him. They were exploring the other rooms, and eventually, someone would find him. Orlando had to be gone by the time that happened.
âYou still want to talk to me?â Orlando asked.
âI want to know whatâs going on. Do you have your phone on you?â
Orlando shook his head. âNot on me, no, but itâs close by.
