Dane swallowed. "It would mean living lives apart. Not touching each other at work. Using tricks and hiding to spend any time alone together. And, you'd have to understand, Lila, everyone would expect me to keep dating other people."

Hopefully daddy dies horribly and painfully 🤬
"I told you you didn't want to do this. I gave you the warning, but you insisted. So now you'll learn the lesson. Don't fuck with me, Dane. You will not win."

He turned his head and met her eyes. "Telling you that I am," he croaked.

🤦🏻♀️ dude get it out of your head 🤨
What was he thinking? She had him turned upside down. He couldn't do this to her or she would be in danger next time.

Whew my imagination George best of some times 😬
Leaping off the couch, she caught sight of the melted tub of ice cream currently leaving a wet ring on her coffee table, and swore. But the pounding was frantic, so she left it, stumbling around the couch to the little entryway of her apartment and yanked the door open—to come face to face with Dane, eyes near black with rage, his shoulder heaving with his breath.

Of course there’s some sinister evil fu€$ involved. 🤬
Where was his father?

🤬
Dane's heart raced. He looked at Chris who was frowning, but shook his head. "Just rang. She's not answering."

Oh I’m sure another form of transportation will show up 🤨 but you’re probably not going to like the destination. 😢
Twenty minutes she stood there, becoming more and more fragile, before she gave up. If she didn't do something she was going to dissolve into a puddle of tears. The car wasn't coming. Something was wrong. But she wasn't going to go up and tell Dane that and give him another chance to shun her. If she'd walked she'd already be home by now. With a frustrated sigh she stormed down the stairs rather than waiting for the elevator to the main exit. She could be down four flights of stairs and out onto the street before the thing even showed up.

And the evil villain award goes to Dane’s father 🤨

I knew it! ….um
He sighed so heavily his shoulders sagged. "My father is a contract killer. He's a monster. A handsome, charismatic monster. He has no feelings for others. He kills people for money—or threatens to do so. And he raised me to follow in the family business."

"—and if you can't, then I suggest you spend the time pleading for her life with the very God that you walk so close to insulting. It's good that He's gracious and applauds your protection of your wife. If you were mine to deal with, I would whip your ass until you bled. You look at what we have navigated in the past month, you will see how heavily He has worked in your favor, and then perhaps you'll…. Adjust your words."

"Please, Ayleth. Don't," he said hoarsely. He turned his head to look at her, and there was such pain in his eyes she felt it like a blow. "Please… just go rest."

"They use them specifically because they're criminals," he said darkly. "I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, Miss Farris, but many many of our government officials are actually criminals themselves. They just don't have the police record to show for it.

Good choice, go for the boss instead 😉
She wasn't going to date her boss' brother.
Urban · AimeeLynn
I have a feeling he’ll eventually find out 🤔
Dane's chin dropped and he frowned at the floor. His shoulders rolled forward as if he were... ashamed? Lila swallowed as Dane looked back up to her, but a shadow passed behind his eyes—the most human and vulnerable expression she'd seen on him yet. And she immediately regretted the words, the attitude she'd given them. She hadn't meant to hurt him. Only to protect herself. She couldn't tell him the truth! And if she tried to dodge the question he wouldn't stop worrying at her until she was forced to tell him.
