Taking my hand, he guided me to the buffet table. Offering me a plate of tiny cheesecake. His sister following closely behind. I had to admit he looked sexy and tense as hell. Eyeing me first, then the cheesecake popping two of the squares in his mouth.
"Can I steal her away for a few seconds and introduce her to a few people here?"
He shrugs and she takes my hand, leading me away to a group of four men. Even though my back was turned. I could feel his eyes on me.
Watching me.
Warning me.
Rose Marie makes hasty introductions. Alfred, David and Michael seemed okay. Although they kept their faces carefully guarded, but Vincent was more outspoken, scrutinizing me.
"Moliari, the Triads and the Bratva have constantly been trying to expand on our territories. How do we know that you are not here as a spy?"
I keep my eyes straight forward, not looking at his face. I didn't like the nervousness that has crept into the pit of my stomach.
"They are getting bolder by the day. Perhaps bold enough to send you. How did you meet, my cousin?"
Confusion and fear filled me.
"We met online and I assure you she is no spy." Darryl answers, dragging me away. Rose Marie, glancing at Darryl in a way that perhaps she didn't expect me to notice.
