He didn’t think that he could resist her for much longer. Seth stood in the kitchen waiting for Leah to come downstairs. He’d only been in Cape Town for just six days but he felt like he’d been waiting for Leah forever. Their attraction kept burning bigger and brighter and, to be honest, it scared him. This didn’t happen in real life, normal life. He was a guy who’d had a lot of sex over a lot of years, and whatever the hell was happening between him and Leah was atypical. In his experience, situations that built so quickly, usually died even faster.

Usually by detonation.

The attraction he could handle—Leah was a sexy woman—but he was disconcerted by the fact that he liked Leah more than he expected to, that he was as attracted to her mind as well as her body. And, if he were being very honest, that mental attraction was the reason he was applying pressure to the brakes. He could easily sleep with her and leave if he wasn’t mentally...intrigued, but leaving would not come as easy if she managed to slip under his skin. Commitment, a steady relationship, wasn’t his thing, he was a rolling stone, a nomad, he gave everything he had to his job and then another hundred percent into tracking down The Recruiter.

He couldn’t afford to feel more for her than he should. He had a job, a life back in New York, hers was here. She was three weeks off a crazy breakup situation, still vulnerable and oh, yeah, she was still married, dammit!

And, the other little thing, they had some asshole playing dangerous games with them and he had a missing teenager to find.

Sleeping with Leah, losing himself in Leah, was a distraction he could not afford. Sort your priorities out, dumbass.

Seth picked up his flashing phone and saw a message from his Pytheon contact, saying he had no news on his fake father but it might be worthwhile for Sethto talk to a young man called Abdullah Ali, the leader of a small group connected to Fayed’s mosque embracing radical viewpoints. He might, or might not, know Fayed. Some US dollars would help him remember.

Funny how, all over the world, dollars had the magical ability to restore memory.

“Problem?” Leah asked.

Seth looked at her and shook his head. “No, maybe a lead on Fayed.” Seth looked down at his phone again. “And my colleague landed this morning; he’s supposed to help me with both situations.”

Leah made him a cup of coffee and Seth lifted the mug to his lips and took a sip of the scalding liquid.

Leah’s eyes radiated sympathy. “God, the Khan’s must be mad with worry.” She dumped more sugar into her coffee and looked thoughtful as she stirred the liquid. “Do you have any ideas on where he went? And how to get him back?”

Seth wished he did. “Nothing at the moment, which isn’t unusual. We suspect we know who took him but trying to track him is like trying to catch mist.
