All he had intended was to whisk Natalia away from Silkwood City, thereby cutting off her contact with Ronin.

But he hadn't reckoned with Ryan.

Hamilton's face was a study in storm clouds as he pulled his car over to the curb and got out.

The strain on Natalia's face was palpable.

"Hamilton, don't you think you're overstepping a bit? We're nothing more than colleagues now."

Hamilton's face darkened, and his gaze flicked to Ryan.

Natalia raised an eyebrow, challenging. "Is that a problem?"

Hamilton's composure was slipping.
