CHAPTER THIRTEEN
The view from Sol’s hotel penthouse suite was a breathtaking combination of neon and nature. The setting was intimate and the dinner catered. Lani had dressed for the occasion in a sexy, short, clingy black dress with a slightly exotic Asian cut to the bodice and skirt. She’d played up the slight almond shape of her eyes with liquid eyeliner and heavy plum makeup, going for smoky bedroom eyes. Her sandals were spiky and her jewelry gold, a Japanese crane pendant hung around her neck.
Asian women turned Sol on. They were his one big weakness. At least that’s what his dossier said and her personal experience confirmed.
Candles flickered. The wine was the most expensive the hotel offered. Soft romantic music played in the background.
“You were fantastic at practice.” Sol sat next to her on the sofa, swirling and sniffing an after-dinner glass of deep, red wine, his arm looped casually around her shoulders.
“You picked up the dance moves quickly and handled the reappearance and escape moves expertly.” He raised his glass to her. “It’s a shame Rock’s tastes run toward Hispanic women and you have to wear that gaudy wedding dress costume he designed for you.” He nuzzled her neck and ran a finger down her collarbone and between her breasts. “The dress you’re wearing tonight suits you so much better.”
Lani forced a smile and nestled her head into the crook of Sol’s neck, resisting the urge to slam her head back and break his nose. “Rock’s tastes run toward the showy.”
Sol wore an expensive, delicious-smelling cologne. Lani had the feeling that after tonight, the scent would make her gag.
“The way you’ve done your makeup suits you better, too. Plays up your gorgeous eyes.” He set his crystal wine goblet down on an end table next to the sofa and gently guided her chin until she faced him. “Maybe…”
She shook her head and pretended to be transfixed by the look in his eyes. In actuality, the lust reflected there repulsed her. “We’ve been over this, Sol. For the reappearance to work, I have to look exactly as I did that night. Top of my head to tiny baby toe. The same. Otherwise, how will the audience recognize me?”
“You’re too modest, Lani. How could anyone ever forget you?” Sol rubbed her shoulder with one hand. “You’re tense, baby. Let me help you loosen up. I’m very good with my hands.”
I bet you are. She was good with hers, too. She knew how to kill with them and if he pushed her too far …
She set her wine goblet down and turned her back to him for him to massage. Or pummel, as the case may be. Sol liked to be obeyed and tonight it was her job to humor him. Until she bent him to her will using trickery and deceit. And hormones. Once she had him at her mercy—
Suffice it to say she wished there weren’t rules and policy and guidelines that restricted her from doing what she really wanted to do to the pompous, egotistical, illusion-stealing enemy of the state.
