By the time I pulled back, Jessica and I were both panting with desire. My pants had become uncomfortably tight. I wanted to sweep Jessica up in my arms and take her upstairs.

Then I noticed Daisy was standing at the door. She was smiling from ear to ear. When Jessica saw her, she blushed.

“Daisy was dropping off the mail.” She handed me an envelope and smiled one more time before heading out the door and down the hall.

Jessica resumed her place in the second chair and pulled what smelled like food out of a bag.“You could have told me someone was at the door,”Jessica pouted.

“I faintly remember hearing someone come in. I was enjoying my girlfriend in my office. Did you get off work early today?” I grabbed one of the cheeseburgers Jessica had pulled out of the bag. She must have stopped at Chubby’s Diner on her way over. The place had the best hamburgers and onion rings.

When she finished pulling out the remaining food, she answered my question. “No. I asked Alex if I could work from here today. I wanted to celebrate you taking over Blackwood Security. I figured you were too busy to leave early, so I brought lunch.”

Jessica took a bite of her burger, and the moan that escaped her made the situation with my pants all the more dire. I reached down to adjust myself, and Jessica’s smile grew.

“How did you find out? I would have called you when I got out of the meeting with the team.”

“Patty called me the second Sam got off the phone with you. She seems stressed with the mess going on back home. She is excited that Sam can put all his time into Shialia and figure out what my brothers have done.”

For the next few hours, Jessica and I worked side by side. She had all her monitors full of spreadsheets and numbers that made no sense to me.

I had a new message waiting for me on the dark web. It was from a contact buried in the CIA.

ICE: You missed something.There is still a price on Jessica’s head.

Those were not the words I wanted to see.
