Chapter 78

They were alone in the suite now. It was safe to speak. Ben had swept for bugs and everything. They would be fine. “There’s still time.” Ben put his hands on Lennon’s hips. “New York is probably easier to secure than Boston, so there’s that.”

Lennon grimaced. “Ben…we’re not moving the company to New York. And I think you know that.”

“All that talk in French.” Ben swallowed.

“Things are still early. And I’m not going to ask you to make a choice. I respect how much you love your agency and this country.”

Ben huffed out a little laugh. “Really?”

“Don’t get me wrong. I bitterly resent it at the same time.” Lennon grinned. “Maybe a little less than I did when I found out who and what you really were, but I love and respect you. That means I have to accept who you are—all of you. Both the man who risks his job, career, maybe even his freedom to keep me safe, and the man who made a commitment to keep his country safe above all else. Yeah, it hurts, but I accept it and I love you.
