Cain knew she was the right person for this mission. She’d researched Dynathon, but he suspected she knew more about drones than anyone.

The man smiled. “Yes. It’s refreshing to have a beautiful woman know as much about my work as I do.”

Jet laughed.

Cain scowled. His phone dinged and he glanced down. The man’s name was Simon Hadlow. All of what he’d said was true. He owned Brink Aerospace, and apparently liked small women, preferably underage ones.

“My name’s Simon.”

“Sara.”

“Would you like to get a coffee, Sara?” Hadlow said. “Talk some more.”

The asshole reached out a hand to touch her arm.

“Oh, I—”

“She already has plans.” Cain closed in and slid an arm around Jet’s waist. He shot Hadlow a cool look.

“Oh, Jake, there you are.” Jet leaned into him. “This is Simon.”

“Nice to meet you.” Cain didn’t give a fuck that his tone said otherwise.

The man cleared his throat. “It was nice talking with you, Sara. Enjoy the conference.”

The man walked away. Jet waited a few seconds, then she whirled. “You scared him off. He could’ve been…the guy.”

“He’s not. He’s an asshole with a predilection for small women, preferably ones who are very young and still in high school.”

Her nose wrinkled. “Ew.”

“Yeah.”

“Okay, well, shoo. Off you go again.”

He tapped her nose with a fingertip. “Behave.”

She grinned. “I’m not known for that.”

There was that sass. Cain reluctantly pulled away.

They both moved into a new aisle.Come on. He wanted the buyer to make a move. He kept Jet in sight, and saw her start chatting with another young woman.

Cain leaned against the wall.

“You look bored,” a low, throaty voice drawled.

He turned his head. A tall woman in a red, sleeveless dress stood beside him. Her brown hair was done in waves of curls.

“Just taking a breather,” he said.

“I spotted you earlier.” She smiled. “I’m so bored with this summit. I’m here to support my company, but I’m in PR, not tech.” Her gaze ran down his body, then she reached out to touch his chest. “Why don’t we find a way to entertain each other for a bit? Relieve the boredom?”

CHAPTERSEVEN

So, one upside to this mission was that she was really enjoying the conference. Jet had learned a lot, and seen some cool technology, and gotten some good ideas.

But there was still no buyer.
