are and who you're with."
    The trembling woman looked at him. Lindsay wasn't the kind of person to keep a lot of friendships and Marco, despite all the weirdness, had been a good one over the years. In fact, he was one of her longest, oldest and most loyal friends and here he was coming through for her again. She bit her lip and looked away for second, then turned and ran around the desk to throw her arms around him. He couldn't have been more surprised as she planted a kiss on his cheek, ruffled his hair and squeezed his head into her shoulder. Not exactly employer and employee protocol, but then again, nobody had ever truly been Lindsay Day's boss.
    His cock stiffened in his pants and he silently cursed the damn thing.
    "You're one of the good one's Marco. I'll never forget this."
    Before he could respond she was out the door, leaving him behind, still stunned, conflicted and slightly thrilled.
    "God damn it." He hissed. "What is it about her…."
     

Chapter Four
     
    When Lindsay reached her apartment she dived for her ficus plant as soon as the front door clicked shut behind her.
    "Okay asshole, you screwed with the wrong girl this time. Lindsay Day isn't some z-list, gold-digging bimbo. You broke the law and you you're going to pay for it, no matter how rich you are."
    She had made a good job of tearing his card into tiny pieces and it took a while to fish them all out but eventually she had them all pieced together on the living room table.
    "Great." She hissed. "Now it's Showtime." She picked up her phone and stabbed in the number. On her way home she had come up with a plan. She would tell him that the story was dead, that her boss had squashed it and that now she was up for that date. She would play up to him, string him along, keep the arrogant bastard interested while she scoured his brain, his home, his personal technology and his people for any kind of evidence. Hell, it might be as easy as getting him to speak openly off the record while she recorded everything secretly. He would learn that two could play dirty and that when it came to truth and accountability then she could be a very dirty girl indeed.
    The phone picked up and there was a short silence before his voice came to the phone.
    "Who is this?" His deep, sexy voice was so immediately recognizable to her now.
    "Who would you like it to be?" She replied.
    There was another pause.
    "There's only one person I can think of."
    "Is that a fact? And who would that be?"
    "It's the beautiful lady I'm taking out to dinner tonight. The elegant and very, very smart lady who finally changed her mind."
    "Elegant?" Lindsay laughed. "I don't think anyone's ever called me that before. Are you sure you're thinking of the right person?"
    "Oh I'm pretty sure alright. There's only one Lindsay Day and I know my favorite investigative journalist will play whatever game it takes to get her story."
    Lindsay froze for a second. Was he onto her already?
    "I'm always looking for a story Hargrave, but this one is just about two people. Would you like to find out how it ends?"
    "I can hardly wait. I'll send a car over to pick you up. Eight o'clock okay?"
    "Uh…" She hadn't planned on things happening quite so quickly. "Just give me time to get a babysitter for Nena and--"
    "Consider it done. I'll send a nanny with the car. The very best D.C. has to offer. I don’t want either of my ladies neglected tonight."
    Smooth , arrogant prick. She thought, although it was kind of fun too. As long as she could keep him out of her pants and get the information she needed this might not be such a bad assignment - if only there wasn't so much riding on it.
    "Great." She said. "What should I wear?"
    "Think… sultry, low cut, close fitting and easily removed."
    "How about low key, casual, comfortable and easily washed?"
    "You're turning me on baby." He gave a deep, sexy laugh and for a second she could almost believe that they were going to get along, if the two of them hadn't been lying
