“Nah,” she laughed. “You apparently made one hell of an impression on Xander. He referred to as to let me understand how pissed off he was that I discussed you once I

talked to Rhys Campbell, the monetary man I instructed you about.”

I dropped my head down onto the desk and banged it a few instances for good measure. Within the span of someday, Xander had gone from being not-so-subtle across the workplace by kissing me in entrance of his different staff to being fully apparent by calling to yell at individuals as a result of I used to be going to be defending a Hollywood heartthrob. On the fee he was going, he’d be hiring a skywriter to announce our relationship to the entire metropolis tomorrow. “He did what?”

“You heard me. Mr. Hollywood makes use of Rhys as his monetary man, too, and that’s how he acquired the advice for Grey Safety. Xander is past pissed that the man knew about you and just about demanded you present his private safety—whereas posing as his girlfriend.”

“Fuck,” I groaned. That needed to have gone over like a lead balloon with Xander. “Ewan didn’t point out the girlfriend concept or how he knew Rhys once I ran into him within the hallway whereas he was on his method to his assembly with Xander.”

“Fortunately for me, most of his anger was directed in the direction of Rhys. They’ve recognized one another ceaselessly, and so they don’t maintain again any punches after they’re preventing. All I acquired was a growly cellphone name, however Rhys acquired a name to his spouse that’s certain to place him within the doghouse for somewhat bit.”

“Seems like I’d higher maintain off on transferring my accounts over for Rhys to handle,” I grumbled. Handing over my life financial savings to a man who wasn’t getting any from his spouse partly due to me didn’t sound like a wise transfer on my half.

“Nah, he would possibly idiot most individuals with the fits he wears, however he’s simply as a lot of a macho caveman as Alex… and Xander in terms of you apparently,” she trailed off, her voice turning up questioningly on the finish.

“Yeah, about that,” I sighed. “A humorous factor occurred after I acquired off the cellphone with you the opposite night time. Xander was on the bar down the road from my lodge, and I ran into him. Solely I didn’t know he was the proprietor of Grey Safety on the time.”

“From the best way Xander was appearing, it sounded such as you ran into him an terrible lot.”

I might virtually hear her wagging her eyebrows suggestively. “Sufficient that he needs me to skip the condo searching and transfer in with him.”

“Rattling,” she whistled. “He’s even sooner than Alex. It solely took him a day to speak me right into a week-long journey to Fiji, however it took two for him to persuade me to not go house-hunting in D.C. so I might transfer in with him as a substitute.”

“Nicely, shit. If you evaluate him to Alex like that, it makes Xander’s suggestion sound semi-sane.” And it additionally made me surprise if I ought to simply give in and inform him I’ll transfer into his place.

“A minimum of he is aware of about your profession with the CIA,” she identified drily. “The identical couldn’t be mentioned for Alex or me, and look how effectively every thing turned out for us.”

Their marriage was like one thing out of the rattling motion pictures. They have been collectively for 4 years with out both one understanding the opposite had a secret life as a spy, till the company assigned them totally different goals on the identical case. “Who would have ever thought the CIA’s greatest snipers would cool down fairly a lot?”

My hand drifted all the way down to my stomach as I thought of Emmy and Ash, Evie and Alex’s youngsters. In 9 months, I is perhaps a mommy, too.

“Holy shit,” I breathed out, as the truth of all of it hit me.

“Calista! Are you continue to there?” Evie’s voice snapped me out of my ideas.

“Yeah, I’m right here. I’m sorry, however I must go. There’s one thing I would like to speak to Xander about.”

I didn’t watch for her to say goodbye earlier than disconnecting the decision and leaping out of my chair to race to my door. Once I flung it open, Xander was standing on the opposite aspect. I yanked him inside and slammed the door shut once more.

“I swear, between me pondering the places of work have been bugged by Evie and your capacity to hunt me out proper once I wish to discuss to you, my new job might give my outdated one a run for its cash in terms of gathering intel.”

He chuckled at my irritation, incomes himself a dying glare that ought to have had him frightened however solely made him smirk at me. “I didn’t know you wanted me since I got here to speak to you a few case.”

“Yeah, I already heard all about how I’m going to need to fake I’m Ewan’s girlfriend in my function as his bodyguard.”

“Over my useless physique.” His eyes iced up as he paced backwards and forwards. “I don’t care what anybody says in regards to the buyer at all times being proper. The fuckwad isn’t going to get that near you. I get that it will be simpler for him to fake like he doesn’t have somebody guarding him, but when that’s what he needs, then he’s going to need to work with another person. There’s no fucking means I’m going to face by and—”

I rolled my eyes and interrupted his rant. “Yeah, yeah. I hear you. You’re the boss round right here, so it’s fully as much as you the way to deal with this. Though I wish to level out that I’m among the finest staff you’ve got, so not utilizing me as a result of you possibly can’t deal with watching me stand subsequent to a different man feels like a silly, macho determination to me. However, I needed to speak to you about one thing else.”

“What?” he requested grumpily, dropping down onto one of many chairs in entrance of my desk.

“I thought of what you mentioned, and I’ve determined to go the straightforward route.”

His darkish eyes lit up and his lips curved up in a happy grin. “You’re going to maneuver in with me?”

“Sure,” I sighed, holding up a hand when he went to face up. “However we have to lay down some floor guidelines. The primary one being no extra intercourse at work. You’re the one who steered me shifting in as a means for you to have the ability to deal with me platonically on the workplace, and I count on you to place some rattling effort into it to be sure you maintain up your finish of the deal.”

“Oh, I’ll at all times maintain up my finish of the deal, child,” he replied in a raspy voice. After which he winked at me!

“Xander,” I growled. “Being all horny and flirty is the other of platonic. It’s shit like that I’m hoping to keep away from whereas we’re at work.”

He held up his arms in a gesture of give up. “Sorry! I can’t assist it. You’re so rattling scorching that every one the blood rushes out of my mind and into my cock each time I’m round you.”

“Which brings me to rule quantity two—if I’m going to reside in your own home, you’re going to maintain it effectively stocked with condoms, assuming I’m not already pregnant.”

His expression fell in disappointment.

“I’m not saying you’ll have to make use of them ceaselessly.”

“High quality,” he grunted, eyeing my stomach. “However I get to be there while you take the check. You progress in tonight, you sleep in my mattress each night time, and I reserve the proper to persuade you to go naked whereas we wait to search out out that my swimmers did their job already.”

“You may attempt all you need, however it’s not going to work.”

“I’m going to get pleasure from exhibiting you simply how flawed you might be.”

He acquired every thing he needed. He had me moved out of my lodge and into his home that night time. Plus, he organized for the shifting truck with all my stuff to ship every thing there the next weekend. And, it turned out the motherfucker was proper. I spent every night time in his mattress… after he’d wrung as many orgasms out of me because it took to get me to say he might take me naked.

Xander

Sitting in a van exterior the premiere for Ewan’s latest film, my eyes have been glued to the monitor, particularly to his hand on my lady’s decrease again. If it dropped one other inch decrease, he was going to need to study to reside with out the appendage.

Calista appeared fucking attractive in her sleeveless, blood-red gown that hugged her physique till the skirt flowed out from the knees down. Her lengthy hair was swept up right into a twist behind her neck, and her red-tipped toes peeked out from beneath the skirt as she walked, exhibiting off horny, glittery stilettos. I couldn’t wait to tear that gown off her later that night time and fuck her in nothing however these heels.

It irritated the fuck out of me that it wasn’t my arm she was holding onto whereas trying so fuckable. I wasn’t certain how the fuck she talked me into le

tting her take the job taking part in one other man’s girlfriend. It had been two weeks of maintaining the truth that she lived with me a secret, hiding our relationship in public, all of the issues I’d sworn I wouldn’t do. I ought to have put a fucking ring on her finger the day she moved in with me, I assumed grumpily.

As a way to survive the job, with out murdering Ewan, I centered on the sunshine on the finish of the tunnel. I’d be strolling into it tomorrow. We had an appointment for a blood check to find out whether or not Calista was pregnant. I didn’t know exactly why, however my instincts have been assured that it will be constructive. I may need been frightened about her response, particularly because it meant an unlimited change in her obligations at Grey Safety, however each time I introduced it up, her face softened and her lips tipped up right into a tiny smile.

She performed the sport effectively, however within the quick time since we’d met, I already knew her higher than anybody and her poker face was non-existent to me. And, it was apparent, even when she hadn’t acknowledged it but, that she needed this as a lot as I did. It was simply an additional perk that she wouldn’t be capable of guard pretty-boy any longer.

My crew had been stunned once I confirmed up for surveillance responsibility on the occasion. I used to be very selective in regards to the jobs I dealt with personally and staking out within the van was a rarity. However, because the night time went on and I acquired increasingly more tense on the sight of Ewan touching my lady, their understanding seems instructed me they’d heard the rumors about Calista and me.

I supposed it was a superb factor they acknowledged it as a result of when Ewan had briefly kissed Calista’s lips whereas being interviewed by the press, they held me again from leaping out of the car and knocking out a number of of his good, white enamel. Calista stored her cool just like the skilled she was, however I used to be barely mollified by the tinge of pink on her cheeks. To the remainder of the world, in the event that they seen it in any respect, it will appear to be she was blushing. The reality was, it was a flush from aggravation. She was not comfortable together with his actions both.
