Graysen was about to lose his mind. Isa had been taking care of him for the last few weeks and he hated that she seemed to see him as some sort of invalid. He was just fine now. Okay, his ribs ached, but who gave a crap about that? All the important parts were working.

He shifted slightly, tried to hide a wince. “Graysen, don’t move. I’ll get whatever—” “I want an answer to my question.” She raised her eyebrows. “What question?” “Did you mean it when you said you loved me?” The desperation in his gaze took her off guard.

Rage pulsed through Graysen, the urge to kill this son of a bi@#! right here and now nearly overwhelming. “You put the woman I love in danger, sent men to kill her. I will start putting bullet holes in you if you don’t answer me when I ask a question.

If you can hear me, I know you are still here in the building. And we have two of your friends. A pretty blonde who I think could be very entertaining to my men. According to her ID her name is Emerson. If that means anything to you, meet me in the lobby in twenty minutes. I just want the information you have. Give it to me and your friends live.

Instead of answering, he crushed his mouth to hers, pushing her up against the nearest wall. The timing was shit, but he didn’t care. There was a chance they weren’t going to make it out of here, and if they didn’t—he was going to taste her one more time. She arched into him, grabbing onto his Kevlar vest and tugging him even closer as her lips clashed with his.

It took her all of two seconds to realize there were silencers on the end of both of their guns. Otherwise the weapons wouldn’t be so long. What the ever-loving hell was going on? She didn’t allow herself even a breath of relief as they kept going. Hell no, she was in danger and needed to get out of here like ten minutes ago.

She hated this giant divide between them because…she’d never gotten over him. Even if she wanted to deny it, that was a simple truth. Michael or Graysen, she’d fallen hard for the man. Even with all his lies, they’d shared so many intimate moments that made her feel as if… She sighed, the ache in her chest spreading outward. It didn’t matter. Nothing would ever fix what was broken between them.

She belatedly realized he hadn’t even moved to defend himself, and considering his training, he would have with anyone else. Stupid tears stung her eyes because she felt bad for punching him and she hated the insane way she’d just reacted to seeing him. It was completely nuts. She’d literally just assaulted someone in an elevator.

Her breath caught in her throat when she saw a familiar face through the group standing near the bar. When she blinked, however, he was gone. Heart racing out of control, she inwardly cursed herself. Tall, Dark and Stupidly Handsome had never been there at all. What was the matter with her?

Cutting it close,” Harrison murmured. She just smiled sweetly. She was on time. That was all that mattered. He frowned again and she knew he wanted to ask her if Brent had been bothering her, but he wouldn’t say anything in front of Fairfax. Harrison could go all protective male sometimes. Something about the men of Red Stone Security—they were all ridiculously alpha.
