An Affair of Vengeance
“This woman—whoever she was, and whomever she worked for—was an unnecessary complication. He’d be best off losing her. It wouldn’t have been hard. He’d been seconds away from disappearing through that back door when she’d entered the market. He could have vanished, but he’d chosen to stay. Worse, he’d chosen to approach. To talk. Hell, to flirt.
Because when she’d walked through that door, he’d been more intrigued than irritated. It’d been years since he’d been pursued by a woman, and he found h...imself liking the chase.
So he’d played with her, let her know that he was on to her game. It was fun.
He had no time for fun.
He kicked a broken brick out of his path and continued on. Anger rumbled like sharp-edged stones in his belly. He should know better. Getting close to anyone was a luxury he couldn’t afford.
Which reminded him to pause and pat his pockets. She’d been close enough to slip any number of items inside, but his were empty, save for what he’d put in them.MoreLess
