“Let’s eat,” he said to her lips.
    Sitting at her desk in her tiny office, Stoney unwrapped the deli sandwiches and they shared lunch. Annie looked over at him whenever he would focus on Sarge sitting at his feet. ‘Stoney’ doesn’t quite fit him. He’s quiet, but only when he doesn’t need to say anything. She stared at his mouth as he spoke to Sarge. God, he can kiss. She found herself touching her lips, remembering the tingle from a night of kissing. I wonder…
    Just then, Stoney lifted his dark eyes to her, noticing the look on her face. “Baby, you keep lookin’ at me that way, and I’ll find a way for us to get creative right here on this desk and won’t give a fuck if Suzanne or Leon are outside listenin’. You got me?”
    Startled out of her daydreams, Annie jumped. “Stoney! Hush, they may hear you!” Then she couldn’t help but smile at the thoughts she had been having. “Are you taking Sarge home?”
    “Yeah. But I’ll be back tonight. It’ll be late. I’ll use the alley stairs, but baby?” He waited until he had her attention. “You don’t open the door until you know for sure it is me. Got it?”
    Annie nodded at the change in his demeanor.
    “Annie. I wanna hear it. You got it?”
    “I’m not dumb, Stoney. I don’t ever open that door to anyone.”
    “Didn’t say you were stupid, doc. I just don’t want anything bad to happen, so I gotta hear that you get me.”
    Sucking her lips in as she attempted a glare his way, she agreed. “Yes, Stoney. I will only open the door when I’m sure it is you.”
    Chuckling, he leaned over and captured her lips in the kiss. One that started out slow, then he shifted so that he could pull her body over into his lap and the kiss deepened. When he slanted his head for deeper access, the kiss went wild. Tongues tangling, fighting for dominance, until Annie couldn’t remember why she was irritated.
    Pulling back, he said softly, “Got to go, baby. Got shit to take care of today, but I’ll be back tonight.”
    As Annie walked he and Sarge out, Leon looked up from the front desk. “Damn, man. You don’t waste any time. You’ve been back there with lunch and I can see our doc has been kissed thoroughly again!” Leon was smart enough to see the warning glare in Stoney’s expression. “Don’t worry, man. It’s high time this beautiful lady met a man who could give her something to think about other than this place!”
    Smiling in understanding, Stoney gave a head jerk to Leon, said goodbye to Suzanne, and planted a big kiss on Annie right in front of them all. “See you tonight, baby,” he whispered against her lips. Then he and Sarge were out the door.

    “Are you fuckin’ kiddin’ me?” Stoney asked the man standing near him. “I bring you the shit, lay it out for you, and you want to dick with her?”
    “You know how it is. Can’t take any chances. It’s gotta be done.” The man talking looked at Stoney’s face for a moment, before leaning in close. “Are you fuckin’ her? Oh, Jesus. How fuckin’ crazy are you? You can’t leave her tail alone?”
    A growl was all the man heard before he was pressed up against the wall with Stoney’s hand around this throat. “Don’t call her tail. Don’t speak of her.”
    “Calm the fuck down, man,” another voice came from the side. Stoney let him go.
    “Hope to God you know what you are doing, ‘cause we’re on the brink of the biggest deal we’ve ever scored and you can’t fuck this up ‘cause you can’t keep your dick in your pants.”
    “It’s covered,” Stoney answered to both men.
    “She know who you are? She know what you do?” the first man asked. “You sayin’ she is more than tail, then you gotta know when this shit blows and she’s is in the dark, you’re gonna lose big.”
    “Told you. It’s covered,” Stoney replied again. “Now, let’s get to work. Tonight, it happens.” In more ways than one.
