“Playing with fire might be exciting,” said The Instructor. “But some fires are hotter than others, and they don’t just burn. They incinerate.”

“It’s about time. I called you an hour ago. I have a surprise for you.”

Heath closed the door of the shitty apartment and paused before turning toward the voice. If he was lucky, Earnshaw had a gun on him and was planning to put a bullet in his back.

Too bad he wasn’t feeling all that lucky.

“On three, OK?” Her voice lilted in a way that made him cringe. “OK?”

He grunted.

“Uno, dos, tres.”

He didn’t move.

“Turn around.”

Steeling himself for what was bound to be a bad scene, he forced his feet to do a one-eighty.

Earnshaw stood in all her huge, muscle-bound glory, naked except for a wisp of a pink lace thong and a pink lace bra about to explode with her pecs.

Aye dios mío.

When Heath had agreed to be part of Hydra Deux, he’d envisioned his partner would be female. With Earnshaw, this was in question. There were times he suspected she was more man than he was.

Sadly, this might be one of them.

Of course, that hadn’t stopped him from taking a taste a few weeks ago. Who could blame him? He had an open mind when it came to women. He’d resisted bedding Earnshaw for years, then horniness and boredom and downright drunkenness had worn him down. Sleeping with her had been a big mistake.

“I bought them for you. What do you think?” Earnshaw did a pirouette that looked more bodybuilder than ballerina. The fact that her voice was almost as low as his didn’t help matters.

He’d gotten her call while cleaning the patio de caballos at the Plaza Mexico. Shoveling horseshit had been hard work, as Manuel had warned, but it was nothing compared with servicing Earnshaw, something he never intended to do again.

“Muy bonita,” he lied.

Earnshaw gave him her version of a come-hither look, a strange combination of blushing ingénue and raging bull. “You really think so?”

One of these days, Heath really had to learn to keep his zipper closed. After this, he probably needed to give up women for good. Unless he could find the right woman. And he had just the woman in mind. Chandler.

Of course, she probably wanted him dead about now.

Heath smiled.

“I’m so glad you like it.”

Earnshaw started toward him, snapping him back to reality.

“Of course I like it. But there’s no time.”

“No time?” Smile turned to pout.

Over the course of their partnership, Earnshaw had told him many things about herself, much more than he’d shared with her. Most of her stories had centered around her years as a female wrestler, stories of travel and sweat and endless training.

The fascinating part was that while she was a phenomenal wrestler, she’d always secretly dreamed of going to Hollywood and acting in the movies. She was clearly delusional and one of the worst actors he’d ever seen, every expression falling somewhere between intestinal discomfort and tears. Heath figured she’d lucked out that The Instructor
