Sleeping With The Enemy
"You need to stop undermining my father. He's the commissioner, and he deserves respect."
Carter leaned against the wall, his expression unreadable. I swallowed hard, trying to ignore how good he looked. "Your father’s a big boy, Chloe. He can handle a little criticism, especially when he’s the one that starts it."
"It's not just criticism, Carter. It's disrespect in front of his subordinates, and it's not helping our situation," I said, feeling his eyes studying my face.
He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I understand what you're trying to say. But no way in hell am I going to be nice to that idiot.”
