"No one is here?""Yes, no one."The voices were loud above the whine of the siren in Penny's ears. Her heart was beating heavily. In less than a minute they would open the door and find her. The locks clicked and the door was swung open to reveal the dark foyer. The single policeman and the other guard who were on their shift for the night stood before the door. One sweep of the officer's flashlight brightened the foyer and came to a stop on a blonde woman. Her face was obscured by the smears of facial lotion and a face mask, her blonde hair was done half hazard into a braid that hung over her left shoulder. In her hand was a huge portrait of Mr. And Mrs. Crepon and the other woman. When the blonde woman held up the portrait with a stricken look on her face, both men could see that her full curvy body was barely covered in the sheerest night slip that hinted the rosy hue of her nipples and the tiny panties that covered the junction of her thighs."Who is there?" The woman demanded i

The local police department of Southern Foreda was in chaos. The Crepons were coming back to Foreda and they were in a terrible mood. Earlier that morning the news of the break-in had interrupted their vacation. Patricia Crepon was in a foul mood cursing the central police department to hell and back. She wanted the culprit found and jailed. A few hours ago they arrived at Foreda and drove immediately to the Southern police department. The walls shook from the shrill sounds of Patricia's voice. She wanted to know the progress of the investigation and no amount of soothing words from the Head Detective would calm her. "Did no one see nothing? Hear nothing?" She demanded."There is a witness from the night shift who claims...""And where are they now?!"The Head Officer harbored a deep hatred for Patricia Crepon. He hated her nasal, condescending tone. But there was nothing he could do other than to overlook her overbearing attitude. Turning to a junior officer he ordered that their si

It was almost midnight when Noel arrived and by then she had fallen asleep in a beautiful chaise lounge that sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass wall in the living room. It overlooked the beach and by nightfall, with her hair and nails done, she felt tranquil enough to lay down on it with a glass of champagne while she waited for him to come until she eventually fell asleep. She thought she may have heard Noel arrive but she wasn't sure until she felt the impression of something warm on her forehead. When she opened her eyes to the dark room, she recognized his outline against the backdrop of the city's skyline. She felt him lift her off the chaise and clung to his strong body while he walked to the master's bedroom and laid her gently on it, pulling the covers over her.Hours later when she woke up, that serenity she had earlier felt left her and she sat up with a start.The jewelry!Her legs were quick to touch the ground and she half ran to the closet and threw the doors o

Penny was impatient as she paced the shade of an ice cream kiosk. She did not look out of place in her dress. Ocean's Green was a popular vacation spot for socialites so even as she waited with her sunglasses hiding her eyes, there were others around her dressed as she was. Her only cause of distress was Noel. What would be his reaction if he came back and could not find her in the suite? She had earlier purchased an ice cream and forgot to eat it now the melted liquid dripped to the ground. How much longer?Soon her phone vibrated and looked at it to see a message from Albert.'I forgot to dress for the beach. Where else can we meet?'There was a beach shop where all sorts of beach supplies like floats, flippers, beach shorts, and other wear were sold. She texted him back to meet her there and made her way over to the shop."Can I help you ma'am?" The nice girl behind the desk asked. Penelope smiled. "No, thanks, I'll just look around."It wasn't long before Albert found the place

"There," Noel picked up her empty plate and headed to the kitchen with it. Penelope sat back as she reluctantly enjoyed the aftermath of the Moussaka he prepared with a side of fried vegetables. He was a good cook. She had not known that.But cooking for her was not enough to clear her suspicions of him. She stood up and trailed him into the kitchen. He was at the sink rinsing the plates off. She couldn't believe it. It still felt like a dream. Noel Greer who ran almost all of the steel companies in Port was known to be ruthless in business and owned large shares within and outside Port - the billionaire who everyone respected was in a suite with her in Foreda cooking and rinsing plates off. She didn't know what to think but she would not let her guard down.Noel looked back over his shoulder to look at her with a boyish grin that tugged at her foolish heart."My mother used to make the best Moussaka in our town and she would make a lot so that there was more for seconds. And I would

A limo was waiting for them downstairs. With her arm hooked in his, Penelope didn't know what to think as they descended the stairs together. All she knew was how she felt. There was a feeling of exhilaration. He was a confident, proud man beside her, his hand was turned in such a way that he took her hand in his and intertwined their fingers. She felt like a woman. His woman. And she found that she liked the feeling of being his woman. Where was her skepticism? Her suspicions of his involvement with her father's present situation? They must have flown out into the star-filled night sky. There were stares in the lobby as they made their way to the limo. There was a different team of workers behind the desk in the lobby and they beamed from ear to ear as Penny and Noel walked past. No doubt their appearance together would be the next big hit in the gossip columns. Noel held the door open for her. She felt the loss of his heat as his hand slipped out of hers and when he got in the car

Noel led Penelope with a hand on her waist to a table. It was hard not to gawk when they were sharing their table with Margaret Freeman, a popular holder of one the seats in the British Parliament, Diane Hickenlooper, a Class 1 US senator, Lazaros Plapoutas, a Greek socialite, a handsome man with a charming smile who held Penny's hand and her gaze a second too long, and several others, some of whom she did not even recognize. There was an air of importance and wealth around them and suddenly she felt insufficient even after all her efforts at creating a comfortable life for herself. Noel's hand tightened around hers as they finally took their seats. "Nervous?" She forced a smile. "No." He leaned in to whisper in her ear. "I'm nervous too." When she turned her head slightly to look at him he pursed his lips with a reassuring nod and took her hand. "I still get nervous but with you by my side tonight at least I'm not shaking in my boots." She burst out laughing and just then a came

"What was that they used to call you?"Phantom didn't respond. He respected the man before him but that didn't mean that he didn't suspect him. He was a ghost from his dubious past after all and he was onto him now.The Boss nudged him. It was a friendly gesture but one very uncharacteristic of him. "Come on, Phantom, what was it my daughter and wife called you while you pumped your large 'psoli' inside them?"Casanova.""Casanova!" The Boss repeated laughing as if he just heard the greatest joke in history. "That is what they called you. And now what are you?""An honest man."The Boss shook his head with a sardonic smile. "An honest man? I never thought I would hear those words from your lips. Is that why you have been stealing from me? Is that what honest people do?"Phantom heard the hard note of the Boss's voice but he was casually lighting a cigar and when it was lit he sucked hard and puffed. He wasn't angry. If the Boss was angry he would have lit the cigar and wouldn't have

“Henry Maxime?” Penny nodded her head at Jay. It was almost midnight when she called him to tell him she would be coming back to work the next day. She hadn’t known it was that late but Jay had promised to arrive early the next day, regardless. He was concerned about her health and hoped that she would be well quick enough to fully return to the office. The phone lines were blowing up, he told her. There were campaigns all lined up and people ready to partner with them. Penny knew stalling her business was dangerous but right now all she really cared about was getting to the bottom of her problems. What good was her business if someone said a word to expose her past bringing her into the terrible limelight? She had to gain the upper hand. And fast. “What do you know about him?” “Never even heard that name before.” She eyed him suspiciously. “You want me to believe you have never heard of the underground dealer who sells expensive jewelry? Where do we get our jewelry, James?” “Pen

“There is paradise?”When Chantelle’s response to her morose question was to frown, narrowing her eyes Penny forced a smile and rolled over to the other side to hide her face. But Chantelle wasn’t having any of that. She sat on the bed and leaned over her body to look into her face.“You are not exactly a sunny sky on a normal day but you are a lot more melancholic than normal.”“Thanks?”Chantelle snorted. “You are deflecting. What happened?”“I don’t know what you are talking about.”“Penny you are not my boss anymore. You came to my house asking us to be friends and friends share problems in case you did not know that. I have seen you at your best and your worst,” Chantelle offered a smile. “Mostly your worst but…this side of you is new and weird.”Penny turned on her back and said nothing.“First you said you were going to see your parents who were sick and the next thing I know I was reading about your marriage that you said nothing about. I know you have always been a private pe

“Penny?” The voice came from far off. She squinted her eyes open and shut them almost immediately when the light in the room caused pain to shoot through her head. She wasn’t alone in the room. A small groan escaped her lips. “Take it easy.” A large, warm hand came to rest on her head. What was he doing here? “How do you feel?” She felt like hell but talking felt like too much effort so she just shook her head slowly from left to right. “You should go back to sleep.” She didn’t want to go back to sleep feeling so unguarded. She forced her eyes open and looked into his face. His brows were knit together in a frown and his mouth was set in a grim hard line. “W-What are you doing here?” “I was worried about you,” Noel responded. He climbed into the bed to sit beside her. Penny tried to pull herself up on her elbow but ended up flopping on the bed again so he leaned forward and assisted her, pushing pillows behind her neck to support her head. “I called, but you weren't picking up.”

The fingerprint.Her head ached as the thought of what that single fingerprint could do to her made her flight miserable. She couldn’t sleep. She couldn’t eat a single bite. Her belly clenched as nausea from her recklessness overwhelmed her. What else did they have that could bring her doom?That’s right! She thought as her heart fell to the pit of her belly. They had found the ring in the hotel she spent with Noel. All they needed was a time frame to put her in Foreda at the time of the theft and her world would come crashing down on her head. No two fingerprints were the same. She was destined to be doomed. All her efforts in the last 10 years would amount to nothing. She was her father’s daughter. She had two choices. Become a fugitive like him or surrender herself to the police. None of them appealed to her but if things got worse, she would give up her freedom and live her life in prison forever if that was where she would find her peace.When the plane landed at midnight she hai

What am I doing? She wondered to herself. It was past midnight when she arrived in Foreda. So far there was no reason to panic. She wasn’t being followed and she hoped it would remain that way until she left Foreda back to Port.Foreda was just as busy a place as Port was so finding a taxi was not difficult.“Your destination ma’am?”“I need a hotel for the night. Do you know any cheap ones around?”“Sure, ma’am.” The driver was polite and quiet throughout the ride. He dropped her off at a small hotel. A teenager was smoking a cigarette behind the desk.“What do you want?”“Do you have a room for the night?”“Just you?”“Yes.”As the girl checked the key panel she made a passing glance at Penny’s way and narrowed her eyes.“You look familiar.”Penny offered her a thin smile. “I get that a lot.”“I don’t doubt that. You’ve got a pretty face on you. A quick warning though our hotel policy does not permit sex trade so if that’s what you’re here ya gonna have to find a new place.”Penny h

Stefan was in his motel room in Port when he read the story in the papers. It was strange. Why would the thief return the ring? It was a statement and he had to know what it meant. His Chief was breathing down his neck about coming back to Laod. There was a lot of work to do.He read through the report in his hand again. The local airport was hiding something and someone powerful was behind it. He had to find out who it was. Like the Foreda police, he too had come to the same conclusion; the cases were similar. It was a long shot but his instincts told him so. He would go to Foreda, find out what he could, and head back to Laod to continue his investigation. Johann, his junior officer was finally making himself useful. He had interviewed one witness from the coffee shop who identified an accent from the blonde man. That was not much but it was enough to narrow things down.He would compare notes when he returned. He couldn’t wait to return. He hated Port. It was a busy place of power-

Her heart leaped in her chest. Penny did not want to think about what that meant. While they waited for Benedict to make his way from the reception to her office, Jay stood up and placed both hands on the glass table as he stared down at Penelope with worry.“You are still going ahead with the divorce then?”“I wouldn’t hire Benedict if I wasn’t.”“It is going to be messy.”Penelope gave him a droll stare. “I don’t need you to tell me what to do, Jay.” A small smile lifted her lips. “Don’t forget I am still the Dragon Lady and the Ice Queen with the frozen pussy in this business.”He smiled and pushed off the table. “I was beginning to worry about that.”Just then there was a knock on her door. Her heart leaped excitedly in her chest. “Come in.”Benedict pushed the door open and peeped in. “I am not interrupting anything am I?”She was breathless when she responded. “The receptionist would not let you through if you were. Come in, Benedict. Jay?”“I’ll take my leave. By the way, I hav

She woke up the next morning to the sound of the waves crashing against the ship. When her eyes fluttered open she found Noel laying on his side watching her with a look she never saw before in his eyes. His dark eyes were settled on her lips and when he saw she was awake he leaned down to kiss her soundly on her lips. Her hand came up as she buried her fingers in his hair to hold him closer.He moved back a little and wrinkled his nose. “Morning breath is not my favorite thing.”“And I’m guessing watching people sleep like a very normal person is your favorite thing to do?”He tapped her nose with his index finger. “It’s a habit we have in common.”She blushed as she recalled what he was referring to. After their first night together she had allowed herself to observe his body unaware that he knew what she was doing. Apparently, he had been doing the same.Although, when she looked down she couldn’t help laughing when she saw that she was still dressed although her gown was bunched a

They were in each other's arms kissing desperately as though scared the moment would end with their demons and mistrust for each other rising to the surface to separate them. Tongue, lips, and hands connected bringing them even closer until their pent-up desire flamed hot enough to sing them both to ashes. Noel released her for only a second to search her face. There was no resistance, none that could have separated him from her that night. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her deeply again, sweeping his tongue against hers to taste the sweet champagne in her mouth. It made him heady and dizzy with desire for her. His hands swept the curve of her spine, down to her ass where he gripped her and pulled her close so she feel his desire for her."Do we have a room?" Penny asked against his lips. Her hand cupped his chin and her long fingers were lost in his hair. "I booked two - one for you and the other for me...""Take me to yours," she whispered and kissed him once. Then aga
