Dropping the super sports car into gear, Luke could have blamed his heavy erection on the horsepower under his control. But that wasn’t it. The woman he couldn’t keep his mind from had her soulful eyes on him, and her skirt drifted up as she repositioned in her seat. She was soft, too soft for the world she seemed content to carouse in, and her delicate fingers slid on her legs like in some subconscious boudoir striptease.

“Nice ride,” he said.

“Thanks. It’s just a car, though. I didn’t pick it. But it fits the part.”

“If you picked your own ride?”

“What would it be?”

He nodded, more curious than he should’ve been.

Her eyes closed, and she leaned back, humming to herself as though she’d never wondered exactly what kind of car she would want. “Oh!” She smiled then tried to hide it. “A convertible. A silver one.”

“Make or model?”

“Doesn’t matter. So long as the top goes down.”

Interesting. Her semi-hidden smile bloomed from sweet to sinful. “What about you?”

“I have a truck.”

“No name or model,” she teased.

“You’ve got jokes.” Luke watched her out the corner of his eye, caught off guard by this very normal side of her, sweet, almost flirting in a shy way—not the aggressive, in-control woman in the middle of an underground fight club.

“I guess maybe I do.”

“You guess?”

“Yes, I guess.”

“Like you’re trying to figure out the world or something, huh, beautiful?”

“Seems like that’s my new favorite thing. Oui.”

That made his lips twitch, a hint of a smile, and he couldn’t remember the last time that had happened. Luke turned a corner, having no idea where to go.

“Mira House Hotel.”

He knew where that was and dropped the gear, surging through traffic toward a hotel that was only blocks away.

Music played from top-of-the-line speakers, and they stayed silent until he pulled into the hotel’s driveway. “You live here?”

“I have a penthouse suite on standby.”

A swanky hotel room waited for her? His eyes cut to hers. “Do this often?”

She laughed, quickly tamping down her reaction. “Never.”

“Right.” What to believe and what to call her on was always a question.

Bellhops stood by their doors, and as if on cue, her door was opened, as was his, and she was greeted by name. “Ms. Mercier, good evening. Will anyone else from Love join us tonight?”

Love… Ironic. Nothing about someone like Maddy could love. She was depraved. Yet he was following her, ready to take her body the second he could.

Leaving the Lotus, Luke powered around the hood, catching glimpses from people nearby. He was still bare chested, with a bruise swelling one cheek. He walked past the moneyed guests, watching them stare at his tattoos and mesh shorts. On his face, they surely saw the demons of a lust-fueled, angry man. A dangerous predator. No one saw the trafficker who pimped women as she stood awaiting him.

Luke stopped and towered above her. “Your company, Love. Is it real?”

“Most things are actually what they seem. Unless you’re not looking correctly.”

“Playing games again,” he mumbled.

“Then again, there are apparently shades of real, of right and wrong.
