If you haven’t read the prequel series, Seduced By My Stepmom, you can find it here:
My hotel apartment burst into activity. Mom marched in, followed by Sasha and Craig. Lokmani tried to bar their entry, as did Laila when the three stormed into my bedroom, buzzing with excitement. Brushing aside my butler/protector, they were determined to get an audience with me, all except my handler, who hung back discreetly, more concerned for my safety than he was in engaging me.
I guessed Craig had no dog in the fight. He wouldn’t care whether Isa or anyone else was my mission. He was my protector, perhaps my handler if I chose to work for Dark Velvet. I knew he had some feelings for me, but those were suppressed in favor of enjoying the position he’d yearned to achieve in the organization for some time.
Dark Velvet is more important to him than I am.
I glanced at Craig, and for a moment, we locked eyes, exchanging emotions. His appeared soft and caring momentarily, but when he saw I was fine, he swung around and headed for a sofa, close enough if I needed help, yet far enough away to claim he was being discreet.
