Just as Mason stepped out of the shower there was a knock on his hotel room door. He wrapped a towel around his waist, grabbed his firearm and called out, “Who is it?”

“The concierge, sir. I have a message for you.” Mason recognized that voice.

He looked through the peephole and recognized the man on the other side of the door. Sanchez was his number two in the field. Mason trusted him with his life and he was his designated go-between. If he needed a message while he was undercover, his only trusted source was Sanchez. This was an expected relay.

He pulled the door open. Mason’s wet hair was dripping into his face and his colleague’s eyes raked over his bare chest with a smile. “You had a message from your employer while you were out, sir,” he said in a passable Glaswegian accent. He extended his arm to hand Mason an envelope.

Mason grabbed it and smiled. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome… sir,” Sanchez replied, turned, and walked away.

Mason closed the door and walked backward into the sitting room, his eyes on the door just in case. He opened the envelope with one hand, the other still gripping his gun – because he could never be too prepared, not even with Sanchez. The card he pulled from the envelope had a series of numbers handwritten on it confirming the extraction details. Mason recognized the coordinates for the Moores’ cottage and a time. Everything looked in order so he headed back into the bathroom. He dropped the card onto the bathroom counter by his cell phone. He put his gun next to the card and queued up another episode of Bawdy Boudoir. This one was a few weeks old, but it was one of his favorites.

“Hello lovers,” Tiya said in the husky voice she always used for her greeting. “Have I got a treat for you. I’ve been writing again.” She sounded so happy that it made him smile, every time. “Each week you all send me the sexiest stories. And when I was going through my dry spell, the submissions doubled. So I thought I’d start today’s episode with a few words of my own. As a thank you.”

There was an awkward moment of silence. He held his breath and waited for his favorite part of this story: her soft moan. He wondered how she wrote that out. He wondered how that moan would sound directly in his ear. He wondered if he would ever get to hear it. He shook his head knowing that was never going to happen because if it did, something had gone seriously wrong. That’s what he had to remind himself to keep his desperation for her at bay. If he ever got that close to Tiya Randall, her life would be in danger and it would be all his fault.

“Now this is much better,” Kierra said as she smoothed her hands over the floor-length purple velvet slip dress she’d bought for Christmas. She hadn’t gotten a chance
