No extra romanticizing.

This was only a timeout. A glitch. An anomaly.

I checked my rearview mirror, and there it was—the black bike. The motive force was utterly clad in black leather-based, following us at a distance.

Was he watching when Charge needed to go?

A burning wave of anger swept by me.

Anger and possessiveness, combined with dedication to catch the man as quickly as Charge was out of the hazard zone.

Once we approached the boutique, I pulled over and reduce the engine—then twisted round to look over my shoulder at her. “That is it. From what I heard, this retailer is the shit, so it’s best to be capable of discover no matter you want.”

She nodded, and I helped her off the bike. She handed me again the helmet and walked away with out one other look again.

Good.

I searched if the bike was anyplace close to, however after I couldn’t spot it, my gaze bought momentarily caught on Charge’s ass as she walked towards the constructing.

“Alex?” she known as, snapping me out of my musings.

I regarded up, and a playful grin was enjoying on her lips. “You coming, or are you simply going to face there and stare at my ass?”

In fact, she caught me.

“You’re mistaken, princess, your ass isn’t price observing. I used to be simply questioning what dimension you’re carrying.”

She rolled her eyes however chuckled.

“Intimate information of girls’s costume sizes…ought to’ve recognized you’re cross-dressing.” She gave me a wink, then turned again round, however there was a real smile enjoying on the corners of her lips.

And mine.

She gave pretty much as good as she bought. And I couldn’t bear in mind the final time a girl made me really feel like she did.

“Charge,” I stated.

She turned again round, and our eyes locked for a second.

The retort I had on my lips died as simply then, the roar of an engine had me soar off the bike, which fell to the bottom and attain for my ankle holster.

God dammit.

The motive force barely slowed down when he handed us.

I held my breath. Due to Charge, I wouldn’t have a transparent shot, so as an alternative, I jumped towards her, anticipating him to seize her.

I used to be a cut up second too late. However the driver solely snatched Charge’s purse from her shoulder, earlier than he revved the bike and disappeared across the nook. Too quick for her to react, or for me to succeed in her.

Fuck. I ought to’ve been extra cautious.

“Shit!” Fiona exclaimed, observing me in shock.

For a second, I thought of chasing after the thief, however leaving Charge was out of the query. So as an alternative, I fastened my denims over my holster, pulled out my cellphone, and dialed Matteo. “I want you to discover a purse snatcher. He simply hit us on the streets of La Valetta. Black Yamaha. Adopted us round all afternoon. Convey him to me by the tip of the day.”

Fiona stared at me, her eyes extensive with a mix of amazement, worry, and disgust. “We had been being adopted?”

I gave her a nod.
