Chapter 63

The more I thought about it, the more it felt like poking a toothache with my tongue - a dull aching pain that grew worse each time I revisited it. I had to remain objective about this and, until this was resolved, recuse myself from the sexual component of our relationship. Levi was potentially involved in this case and as such would be treated the same as any other suspect.

I opened my phone to change his contact name from Imperious 1 to simply Levi Montefiore, but couldn't bring myself to do it. Levi required special handling and - I wrenched my mind away from that totally inappropriate rabbit hole. Fine. The snarky nickname could stay, but naked time was off the table. I took a moment to thoroughly objectify him in my mind's eye, then moved on.
