Facing his Pops again, he lifted one eyebrow. “Really? You befriended a young black woman?”
“Why shocked? I no racist.”
“Because you’re an old crotchety ass.”
His lips thinned below his mustache. “Go talk. Her name, Jazz.”
Bastian finished his drink and pushed to his feet. Suspicious? Definitely. His Pops used to speak English well. I’m going to regret this. He slowed on his way to the door, pausing once to glance over his shoulder. The old man shooed him along with an impatient gesture. Back outside, Bastian maneuvered behind her. The phone was back to her ear.
“Because I’m not happy, Regina. I’m not even sure what his grandson looks like. I’m surrounded by hillbillies.”
He cleared his throat. She turned slowly before her eyes widened as she gazed him over.
“I have to go,” she muttered, then returned the phone to her pocket. “Can I help you?”
Her voice was husky with an accent that was familiar, but he couldn’t quite place, at the moment.
He almost smiled. “I believe I’m the hillbilly supposed to help you.”
Sometimes the flames aren’t meant to be put out.

This woman could have walked off a pin-up poster.
Fuck!
She had short black hair and a large red flower over her left ear. Her mocha skin sparkled as if diamond dust had settled upon it. The red sateen top boasted a plunging V neckline and the attached black skirt hugged each and every one of her curves. The cuffs exposed her forearms and her black peep-toe shoes emphasised her legs.
She turned her head and stared at him briefly before dismissing him. Her hair was longer, just pulled back in a bun. She walked to Kadyr and bent to kiss his cheek. He patted her ass and smirked at Ivan.
“She is beautiful, no?”
“Very.”
“She is unlike any other I have seen before. My woman.”
There was no denying the proprietary claim he laid down. Ivan nodded, not needing to poach the woman belonging to the man who held his life in his hands.
There in the break room on the counter were doughnuts left over by someone. They smelled so good, but all Trix did was get to the coffee pot and fix herself another mug. Adding the creamer and sugar, she stirred it in until she was content it was mixed enough for her.
Taking out the stir stick, she turned to throw it away and came face-to-face with the man she had just been thinking about. Troy Franklin. A heated blush warmed her entire body. “Evening, Mr. Franklin,” she muttered, tossing the piece of wood away.
His viridescent gaze caressed her body in a way that should have been outlawed. “Evening, Ms. Levy. Please call me Troy.” He flashed a brilliant smile of even white teeth. “We’ve worked together for almost a year now.”
She nodded her assent. “Troy it is.” Turning back around, she wrapped trembling hands around her mug. Blinking away hopefully any and all traces of the desire she felt for this man, Trix turned back around.
His mission is spying but his heart demands more, will she forgive his deception?

“She likes sleeping with my picture. She usually doesn’t take to strangers,” a whiskey-smoke voice said from behind her.
Yasmine turned and held back another gasp. The man was even more compelling in person than in the picture. She cocked her head slightly to meet his gaze. He was taller than her own six feet. “Your daughter is doing well, sir.”
“Sedeo Parker. She’s my not—”
“Unca Seddy!” the child’s voice cried.
The man looked at the baby and stepped closer.
His scent reached Yasmine as he stood close to her, reaching to touch the baby.
He smells like sandalwood and vanilla.
Sedeo turned to her with an intense gaze.
