“So what?” Dana asked, turning toward him. “Pregnant women work. I’ll take the job, Angus.”

“That was easy,” Angus mumbled, his dimple flashing.

“She’ll be on desk duty like Brigid, Wolfe. We need their skills, without question.”

Dana grinned. She’d give this a shot. If she wasn’t happy, she’d go back to freelancing. It was nice to have options. While her big wolf figured out whether this was a good development or not, she walked to him and slid an arm around his waist, leaning into his strength.

He sighed, stirring her hair.

“Millie?” Raider asked. “You want to, ah, work here?”

Dana bit back a laugh. The office was depressing, that was for sure.

Millie nodded, her face a little pale. “I do, and a lot of cool gadgets come with me. I’m a trained agent, and I can also go undercover if necessary.”

Dana was missing something, but now wasn’t the time to ask. Was Millie okay?

Nari looked around the room. “We can get another desk.”

“No need,” Angus said. “There’s actually another storage area beyond the two interrogation rooms—all we have to do is clear it out. It’s a good space for gadgets and the like, and Millie says it’s fine for her.”

So they were all there on a Saturday to clean out the storeroom. Made sense. Dana turned toward the hallway by the elevators, halting when Wolfe didn’t allow her to move. She looked up at his rugged face. “Wolfe?”

“An old storage room is too dusty for you,” he said, leaning down to press a kiss to her nose. “Plus, who knows what else we’ll find there.”

She sighed, going up on tiptoe to kiss him full on his firm mouth. “You’re going to drive me crazy for the next eight months, aren’t you?” It was nice to be protected, but he was a mite overbearing.

“No.” He kissed her back, humming with enjoyment and then releasing her mouth.

She blinked, trying to remember what they’d been talking about, her body warm. “No?”

“Not for eight months. For forever.” He grinned, looking happier than she’d ever seen him. “I’ve always indulged myself with sweets, Dana. You’re the sweetest thing in my life, in any life, and I’m keeping you. I love you. Always.”

“Always,” she said, meaning it, her heart full.

For him.
