Chapter Two

Leo

What the hell was Viktor Kovalski doing in Martin Feber’s hotel room?!

The faint unease that had warned me something was wrong quickly shifted to full-fledged turmoil. My mind raced, trying to work out what had gone wrong - and how - as everything I thought I’d known about the last couple of days was turned on its head.

As I was processing that, a slight movement made my gaze snap up…bringing me face to face with sudden, breathtaking beauty.

Despite all my training and experience - despite everything that had just gone fucking wrong - for one long moment I was simply stunned as I looked at her.

Large dark eyes stared back at me from a face framed by thick, lustrous hair. The dark locks curved and waved as they fell, lightly caressing the top of tempting cleavage and offering glimpses of delicate sun-kissed skin that momentarily threatened to undo me. She was wearing a skin-tight dress skimpy enough to reveal more than it covered, showing off the natural curves of her body in a way that challenged you to look.

I’d enjoyed a lot of pretty women, but no one had ever managed to disarm me like she did in that brief moment. Then again, I’d never looked up to find a woman staring at me from over a dead Russian mafia boss, either.

And with that thought, I was jerked back to reality, the sudden confusion of the situation breaking through my fog of disbelief at how badly my luck had turned. The beginning of panic frayed my nerves, and I felt myself perilously out of control - something I’d never allowed before. But I’d never had a hit go so fucking wrong.

The whiskey glass she was carrying fell as shock and horror flickered over her face - a sudden motion that finally had my hard-won instincts returning in a flash, just in time to see her mouth start to open.

I leapt over Viktor’s body and landed lightly on my feet next to her, spinning her around before she could blink and clamping a hand over her mouth, my body firm behind hers. One second later the concealed 9mm I carried beneath my belt was at her temple, cocked and ready.

My stomach flipped unpleasantly, rebelling against the action and taking me by surprise.

What the hell?! I suddenly had a fucking problem with killing someone?!

I’d killed men all my life, but somehow this woman had me hesitating.

She squirmed in my tight hold, making little noises muffled by my gloved hand - until I pressed the gun more firmly against her and she got the hint, subsiding as my heart beat at a mile-a-minute rate.

I didn’t believe in chivalry. Any form of protect the weak and innocent went against everything my whole life had taught me. Or at least I’d been damn sure that it did.

But I’d never actually threatened a woman before. I simply didn’t deal with them in my line of work. Hell, I’d never even been around one for longer than a fun, forgettable night.
