Chapter 310

CARSON STARED INTO RYAN'S eyes.

She wasn't mad at him, but she was angry. At this situation, the FBI, these people who killed Ben. She was powerless in a complicated situation. Or had been until Ryan shouldered the burden.

"We've got to go," Agent Walker called out.

"Go. I'm here waiting, okay?" Ryan leaned in and kissed her forehead, then whispered, "I love you."

She hoped she did come back. That I love you stuff was a thing they had to work out. She sure as hell had feelings for him, but was it love? How could she not love a man who put himself out there and on the line for her?

Ryan placed his hand on her lower back and guided her toward the door of the empty store they'd set up in for this op. Owen handed her a rolling suitcase containing the fake money and her keys.

"Good luck," he said.

Carson glanced over her shoulder at Ryan.

"Hurry up and get back to me, okay?" he said.

She nodded.

"You're going to be late." Agent Walker unlocked the front door.
