I had so much on my mind now, and with the mess I’d gotten myself into, I didn’t need something trivial on my plate.

“An abused women and children shelter.”

I stared at her.Seriously. That was the last place a man like me needed to be. I fucked willing women in no less than twos.

“No.”

She looked at her lap for a moment before she lifted her gaze to mine. “Then I have to do the right thing.”

A tingling began at the base of my neck. What did that even mean?

“Four thirty in the morning. Be ready.”

“Four thirty?” It wouldn’t even be daylight yet.

“If you aren’t there, I’m going to the authorities.”

“Where is it?”

I batted my lashes instead of wiping the spit that had landed on my cheek.

“What?” I ran my finger down his arm clad in a Dormeuil suit, the vicuna fabric soft to the touch. If seduction was the best means of distraction, so be it.

Tamas Levitt took a step closer. His nostrils flared. Hot, cigar-stained air blasted into my face. “You know what.”

Stay cool. Stay. Cool.

I toyed with his coat sleeve and smirked. “I really don’t.”

There were many shades of red when it came to emotions. An embarrassed shade with an almost pinkish hue. A bright red caused from too much laughter.

Crimson. The volatile red of anger.

I couldn’t pinpoint Tamas’s exactly, but it didn’t look healthy.

“The. Coin.”

I tilted my head, then blinked at him a few times as if trying to dig into the far recesses of my mind. I even went so far as to press my index finger to my lips. Apparently, that gesture was too over the top.

Tamas yanked on my wrist. I stumbled forward until our noses were pressed together. “This is the last time I will ask. Where. Is. It?”

Could the man not speak in full sentences? Every word was enunciated in his thick Hungarian accent.

I faked a light bulb going off in my brain. “Let’s look for it,” I suggested brightly. “Where is it supposed to be?”

His mouth pressed together in a thin line. His breath in my face had been irritating before. Now it was suffocating.

“Do not play games with me.”

I cupped his jowls in my hands and stared up at him. “Never.”

Okay, so that was a big fat lie, but it seemed to give him pause.

Then he swatted my hands away and grabbed me by the hair. That was short-lived. “Tamas,” I screeched.
