snorted. “Is she trying to get me killed, then?” What the fuck was Hell doing discussing him like that with Murray?
Murray laughed again. “Now Trace, you know I’m not the jealous sort. I have no reason to be, right?”
“No reason at all.”
“I like to indulge Helene whenever possible.”
Which meant … what? That Helene could have him?
With the game wearing on him, Trace rubbed the bridge of his nose. “You’re generous with her.”
“I don’t mind her admiring eye. It’s often valuable to me. Just remember that my generosity has a limit.”
“Always.”
“So … I may assume that this new assignment won’t cause you any trouble, whether little Priscilla is truly an innocent or not.”
“No trouble at all.”
“Excellent.” Murray’s words reeked of arrogance. “Keep me informed.”
“Of course.” Even as Trace closed the phone, he heard Murray’s humorless laughter, and it left him on edge.
The sick bastard was up to something—but what? And how much damage would it do to Priss?

Through the oversize T-shirt she’d worn as a nightgown, he could see the generous swell of her breasts, and even the outline of her soft nipples. From the jut of that stupendous rack, the shirt dropped over a flat belly down to rounded, shapely thighs. She was so small boned, Trace thought, her wrists and ankles fragile, feminine.
