Retaining my eyes fastened firmly forward I could not assist my gaze wandering in the direction of the proper pair of hips that swayed gently as she walked.

Okay, so I lied to myself earlier. Not the whole lot was onerous about her.

CHAPTER TWO

HUDSON

––––––––

“You may get your product.” Tag, the Mexican vendor contact Acher despatched me to search out nodded, his arms folded over his chest. “Once I can verify who you might be from California. Obtained a couple of connections there I’d test in with, seeing as you’re new blood to the world and all.” Sweat glistened on his pock-marked face as he leered at me.

I attempted not to take a look at the sores adorning his pores and skin, or the decay in his mouth when he provided me a too-wide smile and an expulsion of tepid air.

My abdomen turned as I eyed the plethora of designer medication laid out on the folding desk in a number of assorted baggies, making an attempt to not belay my disquiet. Right here’s hoping Acher’s received somebody good on the opposite aspect of the nation. As a result of if the dude seemed me up, he’d discover a pretty clear man with no prison historical past and no belief issue, leaving me a buck shy of the medication I used to be meant to take again to Texas.

“Take your time.” I leaned in opposition to the doorway, scratching my shoulders on the onerous ridge, and tried to not panic.

Breathe. Archer would not have despatched you in if he did not place confidence in you.

Or backed me up. Until there was an initiation ceremony I missed.

A barely smaller man with darkish hair perched on the different finish of the brief desk counting cash and ingesting straight from the tequila bottle at his aspect. The person had a barrel chest that seemed like he may cripple a bear with a one-armed stranglehold.

“Obtained some associates in SoCal, we do.” Tag turned to the person counting his cash. “Do not we, Angel?”

Angel nodded, not elevating his head from his counting and scribbling one thing on a pad beside him. I took in as a lot element in regards to the room as I presumably may. What kind of weapons they each carried, the scale of the stacks of payments on the desk, and the variety of medication of their possession.

I knew narcotics monitoring was an enormous a part of Archer’s unit and prevented them from coming into the US. That and human trafficking gave the impression to be his most important focus from the brief rundown I received in his workplace.

That was 5 days in the past, and it all of the sudden appeared like months.

Angel provided me the tequila. I took the bottle with some small reservations, wiping the lip with my shirt and slugged two stable mouthfuls earlier than handing it again. The Patrón burned its means down my throat and numbed my lips.

Angel didn’t a lot as search for as I handed the bottle again, however I may swear the person smiled.

“So, who you gonna name?” I lifted my lips at my very own joke, although Tag checked out me curiously. I shook my head. “It doesn’t matter. I am heading again in a couple of days. Had a protracted rattling evening.” I tacked on the data that wasn’t fully false.

I spent the evening watching the storm roll via and a pair of lengthy legs that appeared over my veranda in the back of the cottage, the sounds of the seashore filtering via the nonetheless evening. Turned out my seashore babe took the room subsequent to mine. She had good toes and ideal toes too, setting off a fetish I didn’t know I had till then.

Skye. I found her title on my second day on bodyguard obligation on the seashore. Not that she stated a lot to me since then. My time on this shithole of a constructing was virtually up, and I used to be decided to not less than get myself an honest kiss from the woman, refusing to depart Tijuana with out one.

I inclined my head, making an attempt to focus again on my job and never perky tits and pink painted toenails that matched her laptop computer case.

Fuck me. Or her. Both means, I used to be good with it.

I shifted discreetly to regulate my response to the thought. “Anyway. Let me know if you would like me to take something again, or once I head again subsequent time I am down.”

Tag checked out me sharply. “You stated take your time.”

I shrugged once more. “You’ll be able to take on a regular basis you need. This journey, subsequent journey, no matter. I ain’t going wherever.”

“Besides again to SoCal,” Angel broke his silence.

I nodded. “Aside from that.”

Tag folded his arms, his fingers jittering in opposition to his ribs. A aspect impact of utilizing his personal medication? “Come again tomorrow,” he stated lastly.

“Sure, ma’am.” I ducked out the door earlier than he realised what I stated.
