“That’s not safe I saw the texts on his phone Roark isn’t done with his ra and it’s driving hioing after everyone involved in holding it up after Novak went down I’m sure he realizes you’re the one that turned hioing to be really bad for you”

I laughed drily and lifted an eyebrow at him I wished I had the nerve to walk up to hi I think we both really could have used one “Things are always really bad forto be soht This is what my life looks like, Detective”

His eyebrows pulled together and there was a noticeable tick in his jaw “You do understand Conner will ets his hands on you for double-crossing hiht it was full of people We pulled ten bodies out of the debris Most of theer than you”

I didn’t need a lecture about how cruel and coldblooded Conner was I knew The bastard had tossed the word love at irl that hadn’t grown up on the streets knohat a chore it would be to love soood man, a man with a purpose and a cause, would never throw the L-word so carelessly at a woht then and there I kneas up to soht he could tell me he loved ht back to hiht for underesti me

“I knohat Conner is going to want to do to ets his hands on me, so that’s why I came to you”

I looked at hihten when our eyes locked

“You are going to keepto keep h that I could take Conner out before he took me, only Titus didn’t need to know that part of the plan

“What makes you so sure of that, Reeve?”

I sighed heavily and pushed off the door I walked over to him so that I had to tilt htly so that we could continue to aze He really was a brute of a man but it worked for himand for me

“Conner is going to know I’m the one who sold him out I’m the reason he can’t operate out in the open any to want me to suffer for that, but he’s not stupid and he knows all your fancy polices on the corner He’s you, Titus, just the evil version” I crossed my arms over h aze dipped to watch how ht not like me, but there was an attraction there he couldn’t always control There was an inner part of hih façade ere within touching distance That was the part I wanted to snuggle up with and curl around

“You want Conner; then you’re going to need ardless of what or who he has to get through to get to rab him when he comes for me”
