He had been careless, after all.

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.

Before he even reached them, their laughter carried on the breeze, twisting his features into an even deeper scowl.

Hamilton approached, his eyes dark and brooding.

Hamilton's jaw clenched, and he moved forward to slam the door shut again.

The strain on Natalia's face was palpable.

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

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

Hamilton's composure was slipping.
