      “I don’t have one,” he said. “Other than to get more information out of them than they get from me and to keep you safe. Everything besides that is fluid.”

      “I can’t focus on them if in the back of my mind, I’m wondering what you’re doing,” he said.

      “Fine,” she said. “I’ll be in the back of the closet, hidden behind the clothes.” She started to walk toward the bedroom.

      “Stormy,” he said.

      She stopped. “Yes.”

      He put his hand on her shoulder, turned her and kissed her. All the emotion of the moment was packed into ten seconds of scorching pleasure.

      Then he stepped back. “We’re not finished,” he said.
