The battle ended with Lucia pinned to the mat by Corbett’s lithe body.

She fought to block the bombardment of her senses. “Someday I’m going to beat you. When I do, will you give me a field assignment?”

Corbett’s sensual lips, enticingly out of reach, twitched into a smile. “I have better uses for your talents.” He glanced at the clock. “I imagine you’ll need extra time to dress for our…date this evening?”

Lucia looked into his eyes and anger mixed with helpless longing. She masked them both with a teasing smile. “A date? Hmm, you’re hoping the assassin will strike again this evening, and you can hardly put one of your usual debutantes in the middle of a takedown operation, can you?”

She enjoyed a small sense of satisfaction when he looked taken aback.

Call it a date, if you like. I prefer to call it my first field assignment.
