So he’s not here to find shit on the Wind Dragons. Good to know.
“How did you and Felix get along as partners?” I mentally tell myself to ask Felix, but I want to hear Decker’s perspective. Felix is one of those straight-shooter, do-gooder type of guys who is actually very loyal and trustworthy. If Felix likes this guy, then that is saying something.
Decker smiles a megawatt smile, and I’m momentarily blinded by his good looks. You have a boyfriend, Cara. “Felix is my boy. I was paired with him shortly after Clover left the force, and things were great. He is a really levelheaded guy.”
We chat a little more, finish our drinks, and I throw some money on the table for mine. Decker looks at me like I’ve insulted him.
I grin. “What? This wasn’t a date. You don’t have to pay for me.”
“It doesn’t matter what it is. If I’m here, I’m paying,” he grumbles, adding more money on top of mine just to make a statement.
I shake my head at him, amused. “Well, it was nice to meet you.”
“Come on, I’ll walk you to your car,” he says, and we both walk out together, like it was a date. It’s not a date, Cara. You have a boyfriend.
“Did you mean that?” he asks, as I open my car door and sit inside.
“What?”
“That it was nice to meet me?”
I close the door, turn the car on and lower my window, looking out at him. “I don’t say anything I don’t mean.”
He smiles, and I drive off.
Chapter Five
Decker
What the fuck was that?
Sitting in my car, I try to process everything that just happened. I’ve never had a mark turn into a client and want information on my original client. I call Nadia and ask her if this is a thing and how ethical it is.
I can hear her amusement on the other end. “Surprisingly, no, this has never happened to me. What are you going to do?”
“What do you think I should do?”
“Decker, you make the rules. You found Cara, which is all you were asked to do. The job for Constance is done. If Cara wants to hire you, that’s up to you.”
“I told her that I would,” I admit.
Apparently I can’t say no to some pretty brown eyes and a nice smile.
A nice smile that is very taken.
By a biker.
“Well, then I guess you’ve found yourself your next job.”
It’s that easy, and that complicated.
I drive back to the hotel and close up everything for Constance’s case, still thinking about Cara. I wonder when the last time was that I was so easily swayed by a woman, and can’t even remember, because it’s been that long.
If ever.
I go out to get something to eat when I pass a club called Rift, with loud music and lots of people standing out front, and decide to make a stop.
One more drink wouldn’t hurt. I’m on vacation, after all.
