Chapter 24

TWO WEEKS AGO

Bria looked at the woman coming towards her. Damn, she looked like a mode1! And not just any model – the inimitable Iman! She was young and achingly beautiful, a dead ringer for the African beauty. The only difference was that Marla's neck was even longer and more graceful than Iman's, if that was possible. Everything about her was long, lean and beautiful: legs from here to next week; straight, thick hair that traveled over gracefully broad shoulders; and cheekbones that practically introduced themselves.

No wonder Gunner cheated on your old ass, Bria thought. Any red-blooded male would have been hard pressed to turn whatever this ethereal creature offered down.

Finally, the young woman approached the table Bria had taken near the back of the restaurant. Bria pressed her hands to her chest. Her heart was beating so hard she could see her blouse moving. She pondered why she was so nervous. She was the injured party in this whole mess; so why did she feel like the villain?

Maybe meeting with her ex-husband's baby mama wasn't such a good idea after all. Maybe Maya had been right when she'd advised her not to meet with Marla, and to let sleeping dogs lie.

"Bria?" the young woman asked.

Bria's mind snapped back to the present. "Yes," she croaked. "Marla?" she asked unnecessarily. Even though they'd never met, somehow she'd known as soon as the woman entered the restaurant that this was the woman Gunner had had an affair with. It was almost as if her beauty oozed, ‘I can take your man.' And that's exactly what she'd done.

"Yes," the young woman confirmed, assessing Bria. "May I?" she asked.

"Please," Bria said, indicating for her to take a seat.

"Thank you for agreeing to meet with me," she said in a husky drawl. Even her voice was like sex on a stick, Bria thought.

"I know you must be wondering why I wanted to meet with you," Marla started as soon as she sat.

Doesn't waste any time does she? "That would be an understatement," Bria said out loud, the words coming out much more harshly than she meant. She'd given herself the ‘remain cool' speech before coming today; a speech she was dangerously close to forgetting.

"I know it may sound like a strange request, but I need to know what hold you have over Gunner," Marla stated bluntly.

"Excuse me?" Bria asked.

"You have to know you still have power over him. Why won't you let him go?"

At that moment, Bria knew her advice to herself was toast. "I don't know whether to slap the taste out of your mouth or feel sorry for you," Bria said, her heart hammering in her chest as her blood pressure slammed past the proverbial roof.

"I didn't call you here to play games or to get physical," Marla said matter-of-factly. "I need to know how to get Gunner to fall out of love with you and in love with me," she continued, the husk in her voice cracking, her eyes glistening.

Bria narrowed her eyes.
