Last Spy Standing (17 page)
“Oh, please. I’m too old for peer pressure.”
Nobody blinked.
“Seriously.” She patted an errant lock of hair into place at her temple, looking flustered suddenly. “He doesn’t need me for
anything.
He made that plenty clear, every day we were together.”
Was she serious? Mitch stared at her.
Did he want to say this with two other guys in the room? He didn’t have a choice.
He went down on one knee. “Megan Cassidy. I need you more than air. Please help end my misery by staying in my life. Because without you it’s not worth living.”
She cocked her head, and looked like she was struggling to suppress a grin. “So you’re asking for my help? Just to be clear.”
“I’m asking.”
“And you will let me save your life if the occasion should arise, and will admit you need such assistance freely.”
“Yes.”
“Hmm.”
“Is that a yes?”
A smile of pure joy broke loose all over her face as she plowed into him and nearly knocked him over, locking her arms around his neck and kissing him. “Yes.” Then she kept on with the kissing.
He kissed her back hard, then remembered the others. But when he looked behind him, the Colonel and Jamie were gone, the door closed.
His body came alive with need for her. His heart opened fully, for the first time in years. “I love you, and I need you.”
“I love you and I need you, too.” She slid her hand under his shirt.
He choked back a laugh. “Here?”
“It’s a lifesaving op.” She backed toward the desk. “Think of it as an emergency.”
Certainly felt like it. Heat flooded him as he slipped his hands to her hips.
“So who’s saving who this time?” He asked as he eased her dress up her lean thighs.
“We’re saving each other,” she said as she kissed him.
