“Augh!” Brittany rolled her eyes and pushed him aside as she stood. “Sometimes, Kurt, you make me want to punch you in the face.”
He laughed and rose to his feet. “But you still love me, right?” He winked.
She shook her head and walked toward the back room.
“Hey? Where are you going?”
“I have to find clothes so I can look the part, don’t I?”
“Come on. We don’t want to be late for work.”
As he walked behind her, he grinned. She was definitely a looker. Any man would be blind not to notice how sexy Britt was—even when she tried not to be. When he’d first been paired with her, he went to the captain to persuade him otherwise, because he didn’t want to be attracted to his partner. That didn’t make a good working environment. But the captain turned down Kurt’s request. Over the months, he fought the attraction, and finally become comfortable with her.
It was still hard not to think of her in any sexual sense, but his job was important, and having a trusted partner was even more important. He didn’t want to ruin that between them.
But now with her going under cover as a loose woman, he wasn’t sure he liked it. Although he knew she could pull it off, he still worried that the perp might not be able to handle the natural urges a man gets. Kurt wouldn’t hesitate in shooting the perp if that ever happened.
He just hoped Britt wouldn’t be too convincing when she was with Reeder.
