We would have time later. “I won’t.”
“Tyler, Chloe called an extra security team the moment she saw the house had people in it.” I put my fist in the small of my back and arched it, trying to work the spike of pain I was feeling. What the fuck did that mean? I think I’ve earned at least a sliver of trust from you, and I’m telling you not to go with this man. It wasn’t a moment of tenderness… she was clearly checking on my pupil reaction and ability to focus. “One minute, Liz,” I said. It could also be the cap to the drive they were looking for. After breaking our kiss, I kept my face close to hers, enjoying how she stared up at me with those big brown eyes. I oriented myself just in time to see Chloe kip up onto her feet, holding two guns as she stood a safe distance away from Liz’s and Tyler’s prone bodies. It had been something that didn’t settle well for me—I’ve got the money to spend, and I hate you enough to dedicate the last few weeks to making your life a living fucking hell!
