The man really seemed to be in a hurry and made a move to push her away, but the action only frightened her instead.
She hugged him even tighter, her lips pressing firmly against his. She wanted to kiss him just a little longer...
Any longer and he'd be late.
Though he didn't have the heart to, Adrian Quincy finally broke the kiss. His voice was husky as he said, "Claire, I'm just going on a mission. I'll be back as soon as it's finished. Don't be nervous."
"Will it be dangerous?"
"It's not dangerous."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back. But you have to promise me you won't get hurt. You can't even lose a single hair, or I'll ignore you."
Adrian Quincy gave a slight nod and raised a hand to stroke her hair. Then he suddenly looked up and said to his men, "Move out!"
Claire Sinclair silently stepped aside and watched him get into the car. She didn't turn to go back until the vehicle had completely vanished from sight.
