Chapter 10

Morning came fast. It saddened Cyn that neither Kevin nor Mac came racing after her last night or tried to bust down her door just to make sure she made it home okay. She laughed at herself. They didn't even bother to call. No doubt Sweetheart had them up late and exhausted them.

"Fool," she muttered, belittling herself. Taking a long, hot shower to wash away the stench of her terrible decisions, she waited until the water ran cold before turning it off.

Taking her time getting ready, she did her hair up in a perfect French twist and carefully applied her makeup to look her absolute best. She chose a dark blue skirt-suit with a red, silk blouse. A power suit, which suited her mood perfectly.

Today she'd take the power back.

First, a call to the SBI director to set up a meeting with him and her client. With Lawson there, it would guarantee Mac wouldn't say or do something to make her forget her new vow to hate him. If she ended up alone with Mac, she'd be naked in record time, taking everything he gave her and begging for more.

Not this time.

Then she'd set up a quick meeting with Kevin to make sure he asked only approved questions in his interview with the new Agent Adrian McLane.

If the boys wanted to play with Sweetheart and be star attractions at her raves, Cyn couldn't stop them. She wouldn't even try.

She grabbed her cell and dialed Director Lawson's line.

"Director Lawson," the young director announced. He sounded 108

like he hadn't quite hit puberty yet and looked young enough to be in the Jonas Brothers band.

"Hello, this is Cynthia Gates."

"Ms. Gates!" He always sounded so excited to hear from her. "To what do I owe this honor?"

"I need to set up a meeting with you, Agent McLane, and myself."

It hurt to say Mac's name so formally, so impersonally.

"A meeting? Why not just come down here? That's what you did yesterday."

Was it really just yesterday when everything seemed so perfect?

Cyn closed her eyes against the harsh truth. She'd never be dropping by the SBI office again without an appointment. She had no other business there.

She cleared her throat. "This is official business."

"Oh. Cool. So what time did you want to get together?"

"I can be there in half an hour. Can you have Mac—" she paused to catch herself "—I mean Agent McLane there?"

"Uh—" he hesitated "—sure. He's here now. Do you want to talk to him?"

"No," she answered quickly, too quickly.

"Is everything okay?"

No. It was far from okay. "Just be sure to have Agent McLane there. I'm very busy and don't have time to waste chasing him down."

"This doesn't have anything to do with why Mac marched into my office first thing this morning and demanded you be removed as his PR specialist, does it?"

Of course he did. Her pain transformed into rage as her first and only client started to slip through her fingers. "What did he tell you?"

"That you were in danger as long as you were with him.
