it was a natural reaction to move away from someone who seemed to no nothing about personal space. a look of irritation replaced the one of confusion quickly, and a snarky remark about ones breath was just about to roll off of her tongue. but before it could, it was lost at the mention of hunter’s extra curricular activities. something he had no business in knowing. NONE.
hunter’s jaw clenched in anger, eyes turning to slits. not wanting to cause a scene, the female quickly put on a charming smile. she knew that the stupid fucks around them were wasted, and had lost their attention long before the clown had waltzed right up to her.
taking another drag from her cigarette, hunter left her spot against the wall. instead she made her way towards the side alley. she knew he would follow. because being in the front with the boys all around, wasn’t an ideal place for this to be thrown around. especially if they found out about it.
her immediate change in reaction, though small, made it obvious that dylan had hit the mark. she was bad at hiding it and he had managed to pin it down exactly with such few words that he was far too satisfied with himself. that was why he was a detective and not some backward, asshat of a traffic cop anymore. he could do the job and could damn well do it better than any of those fools he worked with.
following her around the building, dylan knew this was more her sake than his, but he senses still stayed on high alert in case the brunette tried to do anything. sharp detective suit or not, there would always be a gun on his hip and he had no problem pulling it out and pointing it straight at her chest should she try and harm him in any way shape or form.
her words drew a chuckle from deep within him, the man no longer able to hide his amusement at her stubbornness.
“oh, eso ed lindo” he said sweetly, but now his tone was lacking humor as he leaned in close to her, dropping his voice once more, “i know more than you think about a lot of things, sweetheart. don’t underestimate my power to find out about stuff that you want hidden because you won’t like it where gets you.”
