Harmony nodded.“Without a doubt.”
“I would have liked him, too.”
She laughed.“I bet you would have.He worked too many hours and always protected me.”
“That’s my job now.”Damien squeezed her hand, mindful of her coworkers and the other students.
“Hopefully not forever.”
“Definitely not.But for now.Let me know when you’re ready to grab lunch.It seems like we’re almost done.”
“Yeah, I am.I think we can head out.”
“Whenever you’re ready.”
Harmony’s stomach rumbled.“Let’s go.”
Damien nodded, reaching for her hand and leading her out the door.As soon as they were in the hallway, he pressed her against the wall and kissed her hard.
Harmony threw her hands around his neck and welcomed him into her embrace.She kissed him back as if she’d been starved for him.
“Sorry,” he whispered against her lips.“It has been too long since I had my lips on yours.”
“Did you hear me complaining?”
He laughed and kissed her again, quickly, just enough to make her wish they were anywhere else.
Her stomach growled loudly, making him laugh.
“Let’s get something to eat, then we will pick that back up.”
“I like the way you think.”
“And I love you.”
Harmony grinned.“I love you.”
Grant Pickens satacross from his brother with the buyer to his right.He was not happy about being summoned to a meeting, but if he wanted to move the diamonds, he had to agree to the fucking meeting.
“What news do you have for me?”the buyer asked.
“Everything is handled,” Grant said.
“What exactly does that mean?”
“It means everything is fine.”
“The problem has been taken care of?”
Grant glared at the man.He wasn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, or to eliminate threats, but when it wasn’t necessary, he didn’t like the exposure.
“She doesn’t know anything,” Kiernan said.
The buyer glared at Kiernan.“So she hasn’t been taken care of.”
“There’s no reason to… If she knew anything, we wouldn’t be sitting here talking.”
“I thought we discussed this.You were going to take care of her.”
