Deep Cover Desires

In the space between them, it was like walking a tightrope—move too close, and you're shattered beyond repair; step back, and you're strangers forever. Jade's instinct was to pull away, yet Andrea was hell-bent on narrowing that gap.
Diving deep undercover to untangle the threads of a terror plot, Jade became Andrea's shadow—his hand, his weapon. She had fooled herself into thinking her cover was bulletproof until Andrea cornered her against the desk, his voice cutting through the air like ice, "The bug you planted—Is there a man listening on the other side?"
Jade's heart skipped a beat.
But instead of anger, he leaned in closer, his lips grazing her neck, "Do you, like him?"
Caught between the impulse to break her neck or claim her lips, Andrea knew deep down he'd always opt for the latter.
