You share one brain.
And Tony rarely uses his.
“Why would you say that?” Jane questions hotly, like she’s putting him on trial.
Tony motions to me. “He’s an identical twin.”
“Yes, and clearly identical twins are not the same person. They’retwopeople with two separate thoughts and feelings—”
“We don’t know that for sure,” Tony interjects.
She huffs. “It’s scientific fact—”
“Is it?”
I’m going to kill him. “Don’t cut her off again.” It’s a threat.
He gives me an aggravated look. “You’re not on-duty, Moretti. Your client can defend herself.”
“I quite like a right-hand,” Jane says strongly. “And you’re being positively rude to him.”
“He can defend himself too,” Tony shoots back.
I tell him point-blank, “I like a right-hand just as much as Jane.”
She can’t restrain a smile.
Tony bobs his head a few times, laughing under his breath. “Guess your type of girl must be the ones with your balls in their purse.”
Her nose crinkles, pissed. “Excuse me?”
“No offense to you,” Tony tells her but only looks at me and my caustic glare.
Jane and I are both alphas, and I’m attracted to that part of her. Anyone who thinks I’m less of a man because I’d rather uphold all of who she is, including her dominance—they can go stand on their own dick and spin around in twenty circles.
Their opinion will never fucking matter to me. I valuenoneof the horseshit out of his mouth.
So arguing with him, debating him, doesn’t matter to me. “How do you know about the op?” This is what’s important.
Jane scrutinizes him more. Wondering this too.
He has no clearance for this kind of information.
Unless he’s joining the team.
No.
It’s not…
It is possible.Tony is a bodyguard in LA. He works in private security, but he used to say he’d never “slum” it back in Philly.
“Got a call from your boss last week,” Tony says.
“Which one?”
“Price, the Alpha lead. Apparently your team isn’t up to par with pro-level security services, and he wants someone to pick up the slack. Someone who knows their shit, and that’s where I come in. There’s no one better than me.”
There is.
