Excerpt:
A shadow fell across her table. She looked up and her eyes widened. Khalid stood there.
“I see you didn’t stay in your room,” he said.
She sat straighter in her chair. “Are you following me?” She winced at her accusing tone. “Sorry, that was rude.”
“You can make it up to me by allowing me to join you.” He gestured to the empty chair.
Zoey nodded and he sat down. “And to answer your question, I saw you sitting here alone and thought you might like some company.”
Part of her was suspicious, but another part of her was glad for the company. Hell, her woman parts had gone all perky and hard the moment he spoke. What was it about this commanding man that attracted her so?
She popped the last bite into her mouth as Yasir came rushing over with another place setting and poured him a glass of juice. “It’s a honor to have you here--”
“Thank you, Yasir.”
Zoey stared at Khalid. He liked cutting people off. Why was that? What was he afraid they might say? She liked puzzles, though this particular one might be more interesting than most.
“What may I get for you, sir?” Yasir asked.
“I’ll have whatever Miss Lacey is having.” Yasir nodded and left. He turned his attention to her, and Zoey found herself drowning in his eyes.
“So, Khalid, what do you do when you’re not escorting women to their hotel rooms or checking out their credentials or following them to restaurants?”
He laughed and that husky chuckle flowed through her veins. “As I said earlier, I’m head of security.”
“Yes, but security of what? The city? The country?” Something flashed in his eyes and Zoey bit back a grin. So he was hiding something.
