Jason Masters had heard back from his lieutenants that the raid on his rival's home had been successful and his bitter rival and several of his men had been killed.
Unfortunately the man's mistress, Samantha Monroe, was not with him
at the time and her whereabouts were unknown.
He instructed his men to find her as soon as possible.
Samantha Monroe knew that there was a price on her head. She knew better than to run immediately, as undoubtedly Jason Masters and his men would have any exit routes monitored, if not blocked, already....most likely that was in place before the hit occurred.
Samantha decided on an unusual course of action: actually having the courage to go to Jason herself ....rather than having his men drag her there.
She selected a form-fitting emerald green velvet dress, and matching green stilettos. She felt that it showed all of her assets off beautifully. The color of her shirt dress darkened her eyes to emerald, and called attention to her burnished auburn tresses. Her only jewelry was a pair of tiny emerald and gold stud earrings. She wrapped an elegant, hooded black velvet clock, lined with emerald satin, around her.
Standing at Jason Masters' front door, Samantha Monroe took a deep breath, then rang the doorbell.
Jason heard the doorbell as he was working on his computer and quickly switched to the security camera feed in his office. He stared at the screen with amazement when he saw Samantha standing there.
Obviously his security detail would have stopped her and searched her before they let her pass. He was just surprised they hadn’t escorted her to the door.
He opened the door on the chain and saw one of his men standing at the side.
Taking the chain off, he opened the door wider, nodded to the man, then invited Samantha inside. He even stepped slightly aside, so that she could enter the room.
“Well, Miss Monroe, you took a chance by coming here. You do not lack courage."” he said. “You are fortunate to still be among the living. I gave orders to shoot on sight. I'll have to speak with my men about just exactly why that command wasn't honored, later."
He let his eyes roam over her body appreciatively. "But I can see, in this case, why they hesitated."
“I assume they searched you before they brought you to my office door ?” ,Jason said, as his dark eyes flickered at her.
Samantha's lips curved in the hint of a smile. "I imagine they did, Jason. ", she said softly. "Why don't you search for yourself? Maybe they weren't thorough enough to suit you."
To be continued.......
