Chapter 1
The Hunt
He creeps through the bar with immense efficiency. His target has already been picked, identified in the crowd. Her blond hair flows gracefully around her shoulders and the way she holds herself while challenging the others to a game of darts lures him in. She doesn't know the men, he knows that much, having seen her when she entered. They were simply men she had met at the bar who seemed up to a challenge. She throws a winning hit and then moves back to the bar. He sweeps in carefully beside her and orders a shot of vodka. He brings the drink up to his lips and gives her a small wink as he pours the liquid down his throat. She smiles as she throws back her own drink.
"Hi there." She says. Her eyes run over his face… high brow, piercing grey eyes, and perfectly sculpted jaw. He is impressive. When he talks, it is smooth and charming.
"Hello." He says, smiling. "What brings you here?"
"Rough week at work." The woman says. "Needed to forget for a little."
"I guess we all do sometimes." He says. "How about some coffee?" He smiles. He's so close. All she has to do is say yes. "Come on, I'll pay. It's better than drowning your sorrows in vodka." She signs, running a hand through her blond hair.
"Yeah, you're right." The blond says. "Coffee would be nice… but I'm paying for my own." He smirks as they leave the bar. Finally.
