Chapter 6

Day three of the mission, Jamie had woken up and snuck out of bed to dress as quickly as she could without waking Jack. She couldn’t believe she had actually went to his room and had sex with him on her second night in Havana. Yes, she had wanted him back at the lodge, but to bump into him here, on her so-called vacation, was both perfect and inconvenient at the same time.

Still aglow, yet embarrassed how easily she had given in when he took her hand and led her away from the nightclub, Jamie stared at his sleeping form and smiled. He looked so carefree and handsome, lying there, softly snoring. What a night they had. Of all the relationships she’d had over the years, none of those men compared to the explosive connection she had with this man, this stranger.

On impulse, she crept closer, leaned down, and kissed his cheek, ran her fingers through his thick, curly hair. Maybe it was meant as a good-bye, or maybe she just wanted to give him a small gesture of affection. She’d made a few mistakes in the past. Used her body to pay for the drugs she thought she desperately needed. But that was a long time ago, and she didn’t recognize that woman any more. The woman in her skin today would never sleep with a stranger—ever—not even for a pile of money. She wasn’t the kind of woman out looking for a good time. There was a mission to see through, and another twenty-five grand to make.

Now that her bills were paid, she didn’t really need the final payment. She could take off, leave the briefcase, and never look back. But Jamie was never one to take the easy way out. Life had dealt her a tough blow before. It wouldn’t take her down this time either. She deserved the rest of the money. Once this mission was complete, for once in her life she wanted to be carefree, even if only for a short while.

Last night with Jack had meant something to her, and that thought was scary to say the least. She didn’t even know him any more than the man who carried her suitcase up to her room.

He stirred and rolled over, turning his back to her. It was then that she noticed several scars on his back. Her eyes widened. She reached out and gently touched what looked like a perfect small circle just below his right shoulder blade. What would make a scar like that, she wondered. A bullet? Her heartbeat quickened as her stunned gaze moved to the next scar just beneath the other, a long thin line that could be a cut from a surgeon’s knife, or a blade of a different kind.

Troubled by the sight and unsure what to think, Jamie pulled the coverlet up and covered his naked torso. She had much to think about on this crazy journey. Seeing those scars that didn’t seem to fit the description of a man in retail, made her wonder who he really was.
