BOOK EXCERPT
Looking down, Remey realized that he was
still gripping her arm. As he released her he slowly let his hand skim from her
elbow to her wrist, turning the touch into a caress. “Well hello, Ms. E.B. It’s
a pleasure. Are there any other aliases I should I know about?”
“What’s
that old phrase—I’d tell you, but I’d have to kill you?” she teased back.
“Besides, that’s not really an alias. They’re just initials that I figured you
would recognize.”
“Touché.
So. . . .” His nervousness was obvious as he bounced lightly on the heels of
his feet and ran his fingers through his thick hair. “Come in. You look. . . .
” Just as he turned to make a comment
about her disguise, she pulled off the wig, still looking his way. “You’re crazy.
Why don’t you sit down?” He motioned toward the couch and made his way to the
mini bar to see what he could grab. There were some mini bottles of wine, some
packaged cheese, a dark chocolate bar . . . those seemed like the most
appropriate items, he thought. Joining her on the couch he arranged the items
onto the glass coffee table in front of them, then left to collect the glasses.
“Sorry, the mini bar is the best I can do. Room service might not come any
more.”
“Oh,
don’t worry about it. Although I can’t lie, a good steak sounds amazing
considering the meals I get in prison.”
“Have
you already had dinner, at least?”
“Yeah,
it’s a busy night. My first errand was business, but this is all pleasure.” She
turned her body toward his and reached for a piece of the Toblerone. “Tell me
why I should trust you. Why would it make sense for you to be on my side?”
