only trip there, the snowfall had been heavy and the wind chill factor had made every outside moment miserable.
Holding the papers in front her, she asked herself, WWJD? What would Jenna do?
She knew the answer immediately. Jenna Beasley would smoke a spiff, sign the contract, and then, after hours, bring Jon Wexler back to Clarissa’s office. She’d seduce him and, the next thing Jon knew, he’d be taking her on top of the room’s executive desk.
Jenna might regret her actions later but probably not. She lived for the moment.
“Give me a pen,” Leah said.
Chapter Six
Extremely tall and imposingly-wide, the man filled the doorway. Wearing a blue suit, white shirt, and red tie, he was dressed appropriately for a job with a federal agency.
Agent One Bear said, “It’s only for the one night.”
“You’ve already taken my purse and my cell phone,” Leah said. “This place doesn’t have any books, a magazine, anything. It doesn’t even have a television!”
“It’s a safe house.”
“No, it isn’t, Agent One Bear.”
“Call me Ryan.”
Ryan doesn’t seem like an Indian name, she thought, but refused to let herself be sidetracked. “Say what you like, Ryan, this isn’t anything like a real house. A house has things to do inside of it. It has a stove and cooking supplies. If I was lucky, it might have a craft room with scrapbooking supplies. Any respectable home offers some form of entertainment. A library, a stereo system, a computer. Something to keep its residents from going stir crazy.”
Behind the guard, the night sky twinkled with a million stars. He said, “I can find you a writing pad and a pencil, if you’d like.”
“So I can write a suicide note?”
His broad, square face didn’t react to her words.
Leah said, “Give me something to do, I beg of you. A portable DVD player. An Etch-A-Sketch, for God’s sake. I’d settle for a Lite Brite! Do you remember those? A kid’s toy?”
“You want me to find you some toys?”
“No. I just need something to do.”
“You’d like an adult diversion.”
“Now you’re getting it.”
“Well, why didn’t you say so?” His fingers looped beneath his tie, loosening it. “I can give you something to do.”
His sentence ended in a sensual growl, surprising her. Stepping away from him, Leah retreated into her room. Ryan followed, pushing the door closed. He dropped his tie to the carpet.
“You’re not allowed in here,” Leah said, her legs bumping into the bed that filled the center of the room. “Not inside the residence. You’re supposed to stay outside.”
“Or did you say you wanted someone to do?” The officer tore his shirt open. His muscled chest, bronze-colored and smooth, was revealed to her.
“I didn’t mean – I wasn’t….”
“Don’t pretend, you little tramp. Otherwise, why would you come to the door, dressed like that?”
Leah looked down at her body. She was wearing a pink, baby doll nightie, its frilled lace ending just below her waist. Besides the nightie, she was wearing red, satin pumps and a pair of crotch less panties.
Nothing else.
I’ve never greeted a stranger, dressed like this! she thought, shocked. What was I thinking?
Still staring down at her barely-there underwear, she said, “You have the wrong idea.”
“I don’t see how that’s possible.” Ryan One Bear lifted her into his arms, pressing her to his naked skin. His engorged cock rubbed against her stomach.
“You can’t do this,” she said. “I’m telling you now. You have no right!”
“You signed the contract.” She felt her feet lift from the floor he placed her onto the bedspread.
“I didn’t know!”
“You should have read the fine print,” Ryan whispered into her ear.
She rolled onto her side, trying to push herself upright and off the bed. Reaching out, he caught her. He held her without apparent effort, his sex nudging against her.
Despite herself, Leah felt a growing wetness
