This definitely wasn’t the typical Vegas hot guy on vacation I encountered on a daily basis. The type of tourist who thought he could impress a local girl with a great body and good looks.

This man oozed a potent mix of sex and confidence that told any woman who dared venture in his direction he was dangerous but definitely worth the walk on the wicked side.

The hint of tattoos peeking from his designer shirt added to his bad-boy vibe, and I had no doubt a honed, muscled body lay under the clothes he wore.

Arousal flooded my cleft as my nipples hardened to stiff peaks, and the urge to press my thighs together prickled at the back of my mind.

He stepped closer to the glass dividing us and continued to hold my stare in the way that made it impossible for me to shift my gaze.

My breath grew shallow, and the low throbbing deep in my core intensified.

Fuck. What was happening to me? And why was his face familiar? I couldn’t know him, could I?

No, this was the type of man a woman conjured in her fantasies. The ones she’d never take a chance on in reality.

I licked my lips, hypnotized by the darkening of his irises.

It was as if he possessed some type of thrall connected directly to my libido.

Never had I responded to anyone this way.

I swallowed, trying to quench my parched throat.

That was when he mouthed the words, “Come outside, and we can talk.”

He wanted to what?

Talk?

Clearing the haze, I shook my head and responded, “No.”

This guy had trouble written all over him. The last thing I needed was anything to overwhelm an already complicated life. No matter how tempting the thought of a dance with a devil was at the moment.

And he was all things bad and indulgent.

He noddedyes.

Before I could say no again, a throat cleared behind me, breaking the trance the sexy-as-sin man had weaved around me.

I turned to find the head of my personal security, Stevie Nem, staring at me with a knowing glint in her eyes and a smug set to her lips.

“Time to prepare for your evening. No more sightseeing.”

I returned my focus to the window. The stranger had disappeared, leaving me with a sense of both disappointment and relief.

“I believe you just saved me from succumbing to a very bad decision.” I rose to my feet and then brushed the soil from my clothes, feeling as if I’d missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

“That’s why you pay me the big bucks. I keep the riffraff away.”

“Boy, did that riffraff look so deliciously tempting.”

“What the fuck was that?”I asked myself as I gripped the back of my neck and made my way into the main thoroughfare through Ida’s casino.

I’d known better than to let my curiosity get the best of me, but my need to see the Mykos Hellion in her natural element had gotten the best of me, and instead of checking in to my suite, I’d detoured to the Ida botanical gardens.
