She liked to see him smile. “How was business?”

“Eventful, but you don’t have to worry about that.”

“I don’t?”

“No.”

“You were very rude to Peter,” she said.

“He’s used to it. He knows what I require of him.”

“Are all of your men loyal to you?” Willow asked.

“Yes, and women.”

“You have women working for you?”

He kissed her lips. “Come on, let’s go for a walk.”

“Er, I think the park is closed.”

“Not to me.”

He stepped inside the park and Willow’s heart raced. “This is illegal, I’m sure of it.”

“Come on, Willow, are you telling me you’ve never done anything naughty before?”

“No, never. I don’t do this kind of thing. You’re a bad influence on me,” she said. Her hands shook a little and she tried to hide it, but it was impossible to do so. They were in the park, and they were not supposed to be. There was no one else around. Nibbling her lip, she tried to think of a reason to escape.

Carson grabbed her hands and pressed her up against the nearest tree. “Relax.”

“You do realize that security is here, don’t you?”

He chuckled. “And you’re scared of being told off?”

“I don’t want to get arrested.” Her heart pounded.

“Willow, trust me.”

She took a deep breath.

He kissed her. “Relax.”

“No, I can’t relax.”

Carson sighed.

“I’m sorry. I told you I was boring.”

“You’re not boring, and you know what, I don’t mind. We’ll leave.”

He grabbed her hand and as he did, there was a sudden light shining close to where they stood.

“Hey!”

Willow gasped. Holy crap, they were going to get caught. Carson didn’t have to tell her to run, she had already tugged on his hand and was running in the opposite direction from the way they came. Carson kept up with her and she didn’t even take a chance to look toward him or to look back. All she wanted to do was get free of the park. She heard the security officer chasing them.

Carson pulled her toward the main gate, and seeing his car parked with Peter waiting for them was a relief. He nudged her into the car and they were already pulling away from the park before the man was able to catch up with them. She looked behind and they were already too far gone for the man to see them.
