Chapter Eleven

She increased her step as she walked on the sidewalk, continuously looking over her shoulder, expecting them to pounce on her at any minute.

She started to panic when trying to catch a cab was taking too long. She planned to let the driver drive her around the whole damn city so she could think of her next move.

She sighed in relief when finally she managed to flag one down, but just before the car could stop in front of her, she heard her name being called.

“Miss King. Miss King. Please, if you will. Please do not be alarmed. My name is... Anton Kozlov. I would just like to talk to you. That is all.”

She eyed the man with a suspicious knit in her brow. She had never met him before, but he was unmistakably Russian. For a moment she thought the brothers had sent him to find her, but then she countered that with the fact that they seemed like control freaks and wouldn’t send someone else to pick her up. They would do it themselves and probably a whole lot less politely than what the man before her seemed to be.

The random thought that he didn’t smell like the Shlykov brothers burst into her and displaced her. She realized that even if she were blindfolded and spun around until she was dizzy, she would still be able to pick them out by their individual scent, by the way her body reacted to them.

“Argh,” she said, annoyed with herself but then turned her attention to the man before her. “I’m sorry. Can I help you? Do I know you?”

“You do not know me. Like I said, my name is Anton, and I can help you.” He was reasonably good-looking and very well dressed and was also a far cry from the Shlykov brothers. Her glance fell on the two guys on either side of him. They looked fierce and scary, and every part of her body told her she should leave.

“What makes you think I need help?” Even as she asked the question, she groaned. She really was just a sucker for trouble. Besides, what was it with her and Russians these days?

“I can help you keep your word to Marjorie Brown. I can help you keep Cupid’s Toys open and operating. Would you listen to me, Miss King? Again, I wish you no harm. Let’s just enjoy a light brunch at that cafe over there, where we can talk.”

She frowned and hesitated. He seemed harmless enough. She couldn’t say the same about the peeps on either side of him.

“Oh, please, don’t mind them. They are just my friends and here to keep me company. I can help you with your friend’s shop, the one that is yours now I believe? If you let me.”

She also didn’t have to wonder how he knew so much about the sex shop. She had made it her job to have it blasted all over the internet and then some.

“I believe in your cause, Miss King,” he continued smoothly.
