“Always have. Always will.” Bo pressed a kiss to Lucky’s temple. “You’ve been quiet. Want to talk about it?”
Lucky gave a hard swallow. “No.”
“You know I’ll listen to anything you have to say.”
“I know.” Knowing made the world better. “Is there anythingyouwant to talk about?” Lucky held his breath, waiting.
Bo’s soft words barely reached Lucky’s ears. “Nothing you don’t already know.”
“O’Donoghue?”
Bo rolled onto his side to face Lucky. “I didn’t want to say anything because of the rough day you had, but yeah, Walter told me my promotion is on the line.”
“How do you feel about that?” Lucky hated sounding like his counselor.
“Pissed off, but more for Walter’s sake than my own. They’re trying to discredit him.”
Yeah,theywere. “So, what are we going to do about it?”
Bo probably had some kind of by-the-book answer. Instead he said. “What we always do. Kick ass, take names, and hope the good guys win.”
Lucky flexed the hand he’d injured in the line of duty. Being the good guy had cost him two fingers.
What else might he have to sacrifice?
He pulled Bo closer.
