“Is your new apartment anywhere near the agency?” she asked as she fastened her seat belt.
“Yeah, why?”
“I want to get my car.” When they’d left, Miles had been adamant that she not drive, never mind that she’d gotten there on her own. Given the fuzziness of her memory, she hadn’t argued too much. Since they’d be nearby again, it only made sense for her to drive it back.
“Leese and Justice will swing by tomorrow and get it before they come out.”
“They don’t have the keys.”
“They can get them from the office.”
She narrowed her eyes on him. “When you took them from me, I thought you put them in your pocket.”
“I left them with Sahara.”
Well, that was high-handed of him. “Don’t ever do that again.”
He pulled away from the curb, asking, “Do what?” as if he weren’t the least bit concerned.
“Make a decision for me.” Even though she knew it was mostly sexual frustration making her snippy, Maxi said, “Deliberately mislead me.”
His brows shot up and he spared her an incredulous glance before getting his attention back on the road. “That’s the pot calling the kettle black.”
The accusatory tone only irked her more. “The pot is paying the kettle’s salary!”
He snorted. “Do you really think you were in any shape to make decisions this morning?”
“No, but you could have just said that you wanted someone else to bring my car to me.”
He rolled one big shoulder. “At the time, I didn’t even know if Leese would be free. Since he is, it works out.”
Maxi closed her mouth before she made an even bigger fool of herself. She’d blame the overreaction on the strain, but she knew that wasn’t it.
She wanted Miles, and so far, he wasn’t all that receptive to the idea.
Giving up for the moment, she noted the size of the security store where he pulled up and parked. “This place is immense.”
“They’re top-of-the-line and should have everything we need.” After he stepped out, he walked around to open her door.
Always the gentleman. Maxi left the SUV but didn’t go far. She put a hand on his chest—and even that, such a small touch, did crazy things to her. There was no give to his rock-hard body; how could she not react?
Reining in her haywire hormones, she said, “Promise me, Miles. I’m not an idiot. You don’t have to do things for my own good. Just tell me the plan, and I can be reasonable.”
He looked first at her hand on him, then into her eyes. He was so close, she breathed in the scents of soap and warm male skin.
A sultry expression narrowed his gaze. Voice low and rough, almost hypnotic, he said, “Since I don’t know you well enough to make that judgment, I can only promise to try.”
