So far, all I’d managed to do was watch Briar…and get very, very close to her, although I didn’t think fucking her had been part of the plan. I had no doubt my employer would be delighted to hear it, but I wasn’t about to tell him. I was disgusted with myself.
Thinking about what I’d done made my stomach twist into knots. It was an uncomfortable feeling, one that had taken a while for me to identify. I’d never had much experience with guilt until recently, and I could now say, without a doubt, I didn’t like it.
Things were coming to a head, too. Sooner or later, my employer was going to want information from me, and I had no idea what I would tell him.
The only thing I did know was that I never should have agreed to work for him. Whether it was possible to back out, I didn’t know.
He wasn’t the kind of guy one fucked around with.
People who pissed him off had been known to disappear, although I wasn’t above playing dirty myself.
I eased back down, although I stayed on my side so I could watch her. A knot settled in my throat.
Damn you, Marcos. The thought seared through my brain as I thought of the bastard’s name.
If it wasn’t for that son of a bitch, Marcos Castellanos, I wouldn’t be in this position.
I had to find a way out.
But I didn’t have even the slightest idea where to start.
