“A smart woman.” I look over my shoulder. “The case?”

“Moving. She says. I can’t understand that mess of paperwork, but she seems busy and focused.”

That isn’t enough for me. He knows it and sighs, looking over my shoulder with a frown as if trying to recall a difficult math question.

“She’s been reviewing everything. She’s already identified several discrepancies in the vendor records, I believe? She’s requested additional discovery.”

“What about Isla?”

“Fine. They went out for breakfast two days ago.”

“And?”

“Unfortunately, the friend decided to turn this into a real vacation. She’s staying a bit longer than expected, but it’s nothing we can’t handle.”

“Blyat’. The last thing we need is a nosy city girl unraveling the work she’s doing here.”

Art’s mouth twists slightly. “Matilda’s been behaving. Wearing the wire exactly as instructed. They talk mostly about how stressful their work is, and daydream about what they’d do if they could get away. Keep it surface-level.”

What Matilda would do if she weren’t an attorney intrigues me. She’s so forceful, so powerful, and dedicated and bristling that I can’t imagine her relaxed.

Then my brain traitorously reminds me with a single image. I remember vividly just how good she looks when she’s relaxed: moments after the orgasm crushed through her, like butter under my hands, that frown gone from her face.

Shaking it off, I turn fully toward him.

“Anything?”

“No. Not a word about us.”

Something almost like satisfaction moves through me. “She kept her promise.”

“She did.” Art leans against the wall. “I’ll admit, I expected her to be less disciplined.”

“Don’t underestimate her. There’s a reason she’s made it to where she is.”

“I’m not.” He glances toward the bed. “I’m starting to think maybe this situation isn’t as unstable as I thought.”

I narrow my eyes. “Careful. You’re very, very close to insinuating that I don’t know what I’m doing, Arthur.”
