Sophie tipped her head back and brushed her lips on Stone’s chin. “Thank you.”
“For?”
“Being honest. Sharing.”
She felt, more than saw him shrug. “No big deal.”
“It is. You said yourself you’ve broken rules.”
“I’d break more.” Stone slid a hand up her spine to the back of her head. Applying pressure, he moved her until her face was tucked into his neck. “I don’t know what we’re doing or where we’re going, but I can’t walk away from you even when I know I’m losing my objectivity.”
Sophie wanted to tell him everything would be okay. Wanted it tobeokay. Except she didn’t completely understand his job or the potential threat of the man stalking her. She had to put herself in Stone’s care and hope that whatever this was brewing between them, it didn’t diminish his skills.
And put her life—or his—at risk.
