Who the fuck is she?

Neither of us looks away, like it’s a duel. I don’t like it. I don’t like the way she makes me feel. Challenging me.

Yet…

Besides my cock that stirs to attention, there is another feeling that stirs inside me.

Curiosity.

I want to pull her apart piece by piece and see what she is made of. What makes her tick. Angry. Happy. Afraid…

I need to deal with her.

But not now.

And I don’t trust her to be on her own.

“I need a guard at my place,” I say into the radio, keeping her gaze. “Make it two.”

Her brow cocks arrogantly.

I want to see how her face changes when she has her pretty mouth full of my cock. She’ll like it, I know her type.

That’s decided.

Later.

I turn on my heel and walk toward the door, leaving her behind, feeling her stare burrow into my back.

“Archer!” she calls behind me, and I turn to see that hands-crossed-over-her-chest pose but no arrogance this time when she says, “You never gain anything by ruining other people’s lives.”

I close the door behind me.

She doesn’t get it.

This island is a mess.

Iam a mess.

There are way too many things that ruin my peace.

And the main one just made it to town.

KAI

Candy givesus the same room I stayed in last night. I hope it’s a good sign, because now Callie is with me.

I tell Candy how things went down on the Westside as she listens with a tiny smile and occasional glances at Callie.

“The first cargo boat leaves at dawn,” she says when I finish. “I hope you know what you are doing. So have some rest. You’ll need it. And a lot of luck, sweetie.”

She tells me about the port security, throwing in some logistics info that I need in order to make our way to the boat unnoticed.

“You owe me, pretty boy,” she says, lighting another cigarette and pushing off the doorframe.

“I know, Candy. I know. Thanks.” I wish I had more to offer than my words. “You are the best.”
