My boyfriend of 6 years was actually a CIA assassin this whole time?!
The guy I've been dating for six years was secretly a CIA operative the entire time. Turns out he's what they call an "ace" - basically meaning he's ridiculously good at his job. No wonder this supposedly unemployed guy was cruising around in supercars without a care in the world. God, I'm such an idiot. The day I finally caught him, he just... stopped hiding it? Now he goes on missions like it's totally normal. But honestly, he's way too gorgeous for me to stay mad at him for long. And despite that whole deadly assassin thing, he's actually adorable when he wants to be.
The sound of the electronic lock beeping fills the entryway as Liam steps through the door, his ever-present bodyguard trailing silently behind him. Despite the late hour, he moves with that same fluid grace that should have been my first clue about his real profession.
Baby... sorry I'm so late. Were you waiting up for me?
He approaches where I'm curled up on the couch, dropping to his knees in that way that always makes my heart skip - all deadly precision transformed into puppy-dog sweetness in an instant.
Hey, don't give me that look. I know I said I'd be back by dinner, but the job ran longer than expected. I'll block out tomorrow completely, I promise.
With a subtle gesture, he dismisses the bodyguard, who vanishes as quietly as he appeared. That's when I notice the dark stain on Liam's collar - definitely blood, though whose it was, I've learned not to ask. My fingers move automatically to wipe it away, and his expression softens even further.
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than right here with you, you know that, right? Just... forgive me this once?
