Makari may have been right. It might be time to fire her.

On the other hand, I need to keep all my enemies close at hand. Even the potential ones.

Especially the potential ones.

I’m greeted with Daphne’s smiling face the second I walk through the door. “How was your day?” she asks cheerfully.

It’s not her fault that that question irks me. Shit, it’s not even my fault. I’m just irritated with the rest of the world for being so fucking difficult. “It was a day.”

“Ah.” Her smile fades a bit, which I despise in its own right. “I was wondering, whenever you’re settled in… could we talk?”

“I’d rather not.” The words fly out in the worst way before I can stop myself. “Not in the mood. Too annoyed with people. Things. The universe.”

Her smile is completely gone. So is the cheerful light that was in her eyes only seconds ago.

Good job, asshole.

“It’s… it’s fine. No biggie.” Daphne waves it off and turns to leave the room.

Why does it feel like she’s waving me off, too?

I flop down on the couch

    PASHAIntel updates this morning did not bring me good news.What they did bring me is straight to Brennan’s office.More specifically, to his assistant’s desk, where the events calendar is open on the computer.“Um, can I help you?” Fitz glares at me from across the room, a steaming mug of coffee in his hand. He closes the distance with impressive speed, shouldering me away from his abandoned post. “Do you have an appointment?”“That’s what I was trying to figure out.”Brennan’s assistant sniffs derisively. He knows as well as I do that my name is nowhere to be found on the senator’s calendar. “I’m sorry; you’ll just have to wait for Senator Brennan to contact you.”“Or…” I pull a hundred-dollar bill from my pocket and slide it across the desk. “You can help me find him.”Fitz looks at the money, then back to me. “As I said, you need to wait for the senator to reach out to you.”I’m partially irritated, partially impressed. This might be an expensive bribe, and that’s saying somethin

    DAPHNEAll in all, it’s a pretty wonderful day.Until I start sorting through the mail that arrived at my office late in the afternoon and see a letter addressed to “Daphne Hamish.”My stomach drops.I recognize that handwriting.Mom even wrote my name large enough that it takes up half the envelope. As if I need a giant sign to remind me of my birth name.As if I could ever forget.Can’t they just let this go? What is so hard about cutting their losses? I don’t realize I’m this close to bursting into tears until Melanie answers her phone.“Hey, Daph! What’s up?”Shit. I’m crying. There’s no “close to”; I’m legit sobbing.“Daph…? You okay?”“Why won’t they leave me alone?” I slap the table with the unopened letter. “Why is this so… so… so fucking hard for them to just leave me the hell alone?”Honestly, that question applies to so many more people than just my parents. Conrad, Brittany, The Tweedles… why can’t they just take the very obvious hint and leave me alone?Mel’s voice drops

    DAPHNE“Do me a favor, Daph… Warn me next time? Before you go and tell me what might be the hottest sex story ever?” Hazel shakes her head and fans herself. “It’s been a while for me, y’know.” Then she flashes a grin and straightens up. “But really, in all seriousness. I’m so happy for you.”“Thanks.” I feel a squiggly, giggly warmth spread through my chest. “I’m happy, too.”Pasha drove me to work again this morning. He was very obviously looking for Conrad, or any other signs of trouble, but the fact that his hand kept caressing my thigh had me purring the whole time. He could be looking for nuclear warheads for all I care.He wants me. For me.I’m his woman.I’m on Cloud Nine. And I’m his woman.Another little gesture neither of us spoke about but I definitely mentioned to Hazel: Pasha didn’t wear a tie this morning. He’s actually stopped wearing ties as often as he used to, but this morning he left the top two buttons or so undone and his shirt pulled open.Just enough to see the

    PASHA“Hey, Pash—mmf!”The kiss that silences her is brutal and crushing, but so is every emotion raging war inside me as I haul her onto the kitchen island and step between her thighs.I want her.I need her.And I need her to understand how things around here, between us, actually work.She’s changed out of her work clothes and into a more comfortable lounge set of sweatpants and a tank top that won’t quite cover her baby bump as well as it used to. It’s also stretched tighter around her breasts than I recall.Just like that, all the blood pounding in my head rushes straight to my dick.I already tossed my coat and tie aside, and was in the process of working my shirt buttons open when I came into the kitchen. Now, everything between her skin and mine is a barrier that pisses me the hell off.With one swift move that makes her yelp with surprise, I yank her top off over her head and her pants down.No panties. No bra.Naughty plamya.“Pasha, what are you—ohhh…”Her confusion melts i

    PASHA “I thought you’d be at lunch with Daphne and Mama.” Sofi makes sure the door to my office is locked before she settles into the chair facing my desk. “We already had lunch. Mama is taking her shopping for baby clothes and more toys.” I frown. “Daphne has work today. Why isn’t she going back to work?” The way my sister drums her fingers on the arm of the chair sets me on edge. Whatever update she’s sitting on, it’s not good. “You’re not gonna like it,” she confirms. “Just fucking tell me.” “Ewing stopped by the gallery.” She was right: I do not like it. “And?” “And you don’t need to freak out; I already took care of it. I just thought you should know because Daph seemed a little pale during lunch, and the last thing she needs right now is for you to go all silverback gorilla on her?—” “Tell me what happened.” Sofi sighs. “He assaulted her. In the showroom.” My chair tumbles to the floor. I think I throw my desk to the side, or at least I try to, because i
