Chapter Ten

Rachel looked at herself in the full-length mirror and nodded in approval. The form-fitting red dress was just the right amount of sensual and classy. It hit right at her knee, and the three-quarter length sleeves had black lace at the elbow. The boat-neck collar dipped low enough to show a hint of cleavage. The back of the dress pointed to a V halfway down before a row of black buttons stopped at the base of her spine.

Her favorite black Christian Louboutin’s with their famous red soles were the perfect additions. Choosing minimal jewelry with the diamond studs and her thumb ring, she grabbed the black clutch and headed downstairs to meet Asher.

On the elevator ride, she found she was nervous and impatient to see him again. It had been so difficult to watch him all day and not go up to him for a kiss. Now, she didn’t have to pretend not to know him or hide who she was. This was the time she could show him…what? What did she think she could show him? That she cared?

She closed her eyes and wanted to kick herself. She couldn’t care for Asher. He was her target. Nothing was going to stop her from writing her article once she garnered enough information. And after it released, he wouldn’t want to have anything to do with her.

But she could pretend. She was good at that. Except, for the first time in her life, she was pretending for herself and not her target.

The doors of the elevator opened and she walked out, her gaze immediately going to the bar. Her steps were light and quick as she made her way to the doorway of the bar. There was a smile in place as she expected to see him at any second.

As she walked into the bar, her eyes scanned each table and man for Asher’s face. But he was nowhere to be seen. She didn’t let that dampen her mood. She continued to the bar and perched upon one of the stools before ordering a glass of red wine.

As each minute ticked by, she began to fear that he wouldn’t come. Then she would admonish herself, because there was no reason for him not to. He didn’t know the truth about her or what her goal was. He only thought she was a woman who spent the night in his arms having amazing sex.

It was the first time she found herself sickened by what she was doing. Yes, she exposed truths, but what she was doing to herself and her targets was wrong.

“I hope that frown isna for me,” came a deep timbre behind her.

She turned with a smile, genuinely happy to see Asher. “Hi.”

“Hi,” he said and put his mouth on hers.

He lingered there, letting his tongue brush against her lips before he pulled back. “I’ve waited all day to see your beautiful face.”

“Another busy day?” Why did she feel as if she were floating upon pure happiness when he was near?

He shrugged and motioned to the bartender for his drink.
