Excerpt

Dav’s gaze rakes me up and down. “You look good in a suit. Almost manly. Especially with your hair scraped back off your face like that. You just need a bow tie to finish it off.”

It’s all I can do not to growl out loud. The man is unbearable. His grin is wide and wicked, and I glare up at him from beneath my lowered lashes. He knows I’m miked up and the rest of my team can hear every word of our exchange. Bastard.

“Sir.” I manage not to grind my teeth too hard between words. “Aren’t you late? Shouldn’t you be up front already, supporting your king? Better move along and do your brotherly duty.”

I don’t need to hear the sharp inhale of breath in my ear piece from the guard at the next station. I know I’ve overstepped the mark. My cheeks heat uncomfortably, but far from showing anger, Dav’s grin unexpectedly widens further. “Naughty, naughty, Miss Catriona. I shall have to think of a suitable punishment for you. Later. After I’ve done my brotherly duty, of course.”

He saunters off and I’m left with a myriad of churning emotions that have nowhere to go. Then a gravelly voice in my ear piece says, “I’ll need a word with you too, Catriona. Report to me after your shift.” Jason is not pleased, and I don’t blame him one bit. I’ve just behaved in a completely unprofessional manner. As easy as it would be to blame Dav’s successful niggling, I’m an adult not a child, and it’s up to me to ignore the prince’s goading, not rise to it.

I bite my bottom lip and shuffle my feet, standing straighter and staring ahead. I need to concentrate on the task at hand, and not let my mind keep wandering to what sort of punishment Dav might have in mind for later.
