CHAPTER ONE

Alexis drug Milo through the coffee house by his tie.

"Ms. Davis! Please. I can tell him your message myself."

She had started tugging his tie when he stalled outside the doors of the coffeehouse, and stuttered about Mr. C telling him not to screw up this time. She didn't like getting him in trouble but her need to tell Sonny exactly what she thought of his methodology overruled all other impulses.

"This won't take but a minute," Alexis assured the young bodyguard. She rapped on the door to the office. "I'm coming in, Sonny, so put on hold all your criminal undertakings."

With that said, she flung open the door and spotted him sitting behind his desk. He raised an eyebrow at her as she pulled Milo inside the room.

Alexis shook her head at Sonny in a way that silently said, You really thought you'd get away with it?

She dug in her purse. "Here is your camera, your listening device, and the bug you put on my phone." Alexis dropped all the items onto his desk. "And here is the spy you sent. Take it all back because I neither asked for, need nor desire in any way whatsoever your sudden added scrutiny of my affairs."

"Well what did you expect when you take up with the likes of," Sonny shot her a you are so caught expression "Jerry Jacks."

His eyes were dark with something that could have been simply worry but looked more like jealously to her. Her eyes widened and for a second she lost her breath. Alexis pushed that thought out of her mind and refocused on the issue at hand.

She ranted "How long did it take Carly to rush over here and tell you that piece of news? Your ex doesn't know what she is talking about, as usual. She's with the man nearly constantly these days, much more so than I am. She's like a high schooler- thinking I want to steal the attention of the new guy in town away from her. But I don't. I could careless about Jerry. No matter what Carly told you. What exactly did she tell you?"

"That you're hyperventilating over him."

"Utterly ridiculous. And even if I was," she looked at Milo and added "which I'm not!"

Milo nodded, nervously.

"Even if I was," Alexis said to Sonny "that is certainly my business and not yours."

Though, the words she spoke were true, Alexis did get a slight thrill out of knowing Sonny gave a damn about who she was dating. But where was all this concern when she fell into a quickie marriage with his own half-brother?

She tried not to let her brain get stuck on deciphering Sonny's motive. That was a train of thought that would only lead her in circles, she was sure.

"Do you even know what kind of man you're dealing with? What he is capable of?" Sonny's jaw clenched. "Jerry's insane and would not hesitate to hurt you if he thought it'd further some plan of his. Don't mess with him. This isn't a game!"

It was nearly impossible for Alexis to hold onto her anger when he was looking at her with such intensity. The heat in his eyes came from frustration right now but it reminded her of another time when he looked at her with those some dark eyes, when they flared with desire and pain and need.

"Don't order me around," she told him. "I'll see who I want." She paused and then asked, her tone more probing than she intended, "Since when do you care?"

"This guy isn't some pansy like Ned or Cameron that you can lead around by the nose."

She unconsciously gripped Milo's tie tighter and exclaimed "I never did that. Those relationships were quite equitable. And, like this one I am not having with Jerry, also none of your business."

Nearly choking, Milo finally broke in and said "Sir, there was no sign of Mr. Jacks while I was at Ms. Davis' home and I don't think there is anything to ..."

They both looked at him. Sonny asked, "What are you still doing in here?"

Milo motioned to his tie.

"Oh!" Alexis said, letting go. She straightened his tie and then patted his chest gently. "You may go now."

The bodyguard gave her a small smile; he looked at Sonny for confirmation. His boss shook his head at him in disgust for blowing this assignment then motioned him out of the room. Milo fled without another word.

Alexis turned back to Sonny. "He's a nice young man. I think Kristina might even have a little crush on him."

Putting both her palms on his desk she leaned closer to him and, letting her voice drop down to a throaty whisper, asked, "But why would you send a boy to do a man's job? You should have known spying on me wouldn't be child's play."

He didn't answer, not right away, instead he just sat there with his eyes locked on hers, looking at her in such a way that she felt exposed, naked, and discovered all at once.
