CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

MONA

That damned crooked smile was almost irresistible.

His wife must be worried sick, I thought.

He stood just inside the door, staring at me with curiosity.

He was hot, that was for sure. Muscular and lean, he was tall, with toned limbs that stretched for miles. His smoky eyes were fringed with dark lashes and I didn’t even mind the scars scattered on his face and body. He’d been around, that much was obvious. I imagined the many hearts he’d surely broken along the way and wondered briefly what was so special about his wife to have landed him.

“Spill it, Mona,” he said, direct and to the point. I admired that about him immensely. Beating around the bush was so boring.

I smiled slowly at him, my eyes drinking him in as I evaluated his value to me. He was strong, of obvious good genes, and fairly intelligent and sharp. He might do nicely.

“You’re probably wondering why I brought you up here,” I said.

“That’s one of many questions I have for you,” he quipped.

“Fair enough,” I nodded. “As I mentioned before, I intend to start my own community. Of course, any thriving community must be comprised of many generations of people to continue.”

“Of course,” he nodded.

“So, I’ve chosen Eve to help me with that,” I said.

“Against her will,” he replied.

I waved a dismissive hand and shrugged. That was beside the point.

“As you know, it takes two to tango,” I replied.

“Tango? We’re dancing now?”

“Something like that,” I said, smiling mysteriously, as I turned away. I strolled over to the bed and sat down, looking up at him. He’d not taken another step in the room, choosing to linger close to the door.

“You’re going to need to spell shit out for me, Mona, I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed,” he replied, flashing that crooked grin again. If I was any other woman, I might have melted, but that’s not my style.

“Come closer,” I said.

He groaned and took two steps toward me.

“Slade, I intend to make sure each person in my community is worthy of being here.”

“Okay.”

“So, I need to determine if you’re worthy.”

“I have no interest in being a part of your community, Mona.”

“That’s not really my concern,” I said.

“What kind of community do you think you’ll have if it’s filled with people who don’t want to be there?” he asked. “Seems fucking stupid, if you ask me.”

“I have ways of changing people’s minds.”

“I’m sure you do, but you won’t be changing mine.”

“Again, that’s not an issue right now. Right now, I need to see what you’re made of, so to speak.”

“Whatever,” he said, shaking his head.

I smiled again. “Come closer.”

He took another few steps, stopping as he stood over me.

“Thank you,” I said. “Now, Slade, I need you to do as I say, because I really don’t want Zane to come in here and have to kill you, okay?”

“I guess that depends on what you have in mind.”

I smiled again, nodding as I reached down and began to unbutton my blouse slowly.
