right, and as far as she was concerned, he could do as he pleased.
    The cushions dipped, and before she could puzzle out what the hell he was doing he lifted her into the air. She yelped and grasped his shoulder.
    “What are you doing?”
    “Picking you up.”
    “I can see that.”
    “Bedroom?”
    “What?” She blinked at him.
    “Bed—room?” he said again slower.
    “Why?”
    “I’ve got ideas.”
    “I-ideas?”
    “What? You thought this was a one-and-done?” He grinned and her heart fluttered.
    This must be how the prey felt when the predator was closing in.
    “Through there.” She pointed at one of the closed doors across the room.
    Marco carried her into the bedroom and didn’t bother with the lights. He set her down on the mattress and stood back, jerking his shirt off.
    Maybe she’d bitten off more than she could chew.
     

 
    4.
    Marco slipped out of bed and stood there in the dark like a fucking creeper.
    This was not supposed to happen.
    He scrubbed a hand over his face, but it didn’t ease the guilt stabbing his conscience. She was supposed to be a mark. A rung on the ladder. Well, he’d picked the wrong damn girl.
    Fiona was…a drug.
    He’d always known that in order to get the kind of information he needed, it meant getting close to someone at NueEnergy. But it was different now that the person had a name. Eyes. A mouth. God, her mouth. It was just sex . But it was damn good sex.
    Fucking hell.
    He couldn’t leave without completing his objective. He’d come too far.
    Ghost had warned him about the consequences, that very likely someone—the person he targeted—would get blamed for what he was about to do. But Marco hadn’t listened.
    And now that person had a name he could taste. He could still feel her pussy clenching around him.
    “Hey, Fiona, I need to find my phone,” he said.
    She sighed and turned away from him, already half-asleep.
    He still didn’t know who she was,  or why, as far as the government was concerned, she hadn’t existed before a few years ago. According to their research, Fiona should be near thirty-five. If she was much older than thirty he’d eat his boots. What he did know was that she was a woman. A woman who’d been looked through and left empty. For a moment he’d pitied her, and then he’d realized his mistake. She’d picked him the same way he’d picked her, only…he wasn’t coming out of this unscathed. He was a dirty bastard for taking advantage of her like this, but when it came down to it, it was dozens of families versus her. And family would win over every time.
    Marco snagged his boxer briefs from the floor and stepped into them, pulling them up as he tip-toed out of her room. He’d left his phone and wallet in the living room on purpose. For exactly this reason.
    He eased the bedroom door shut and crossed to the coffee table.
    Out of habit he checked the messages, but nothing urgent caught his eye.
    Now, where was her work shit?
    He crept through the condo, up to the second floor before he found her office in what he imagined was supposed to be the master suite. And yet she chose to sleep on the ground floor. Why?
    More mysteries he wouldn’t get to the bottom of, because he couldn’t risk getting more involved than he already was.
    Marco dragged his finger across the touchpad and the screen lit up. It wasn’t even locked. Shit. Part of him had hoped for super security, an impossible-to-crack password or something. It was too easy. All of it.
    He pulled the mini-USB from the depths of his wallet. He held it between his fingers, staring at the little thing.
    It had one purpose. One goal. And he had no doubt Ghost’s toy would work as promised. In the process, Fiona would pay the price for his actions.
    He blew out a breath and plugged the USB into the laptop, then double-clicked the folder that popped up. The spyware would have to be installed, and then it could run invisibly in the background, infecting the entire company and
