grabbed one and popped it open. This was going to be more difficult than she’d thought.

He decided she was crazy. She was going to bring him into this roach infested room, get naked to entice him and then sit and tell him that his entire life was a lie? And she had the nerve to think he’d believe a word that came out of that sexy little mouth?
Jake was not dumb. Just because he spent his time on a Harley, traveling around with his crew and making his living in less than honorable ways did not mean he was a fool. She was a con artist. Self-admitted, at that. And she was trying to con him. But for what?
So he’d turn on his brothers. No doubt about it. The question was, what did they have on her that she was going to this extreme to take them down? Or what did she have on them that they were so interested in doing the same to her?
Jake knew the best way to get the truth out of a woman. Any woman. Just rock her world. Women would reveal anything in the throes of passion. They were all predictable like that. So maybe that’s what he’d do. It was business right? A means to an end. It didn’t mean anything.
“Can I have a soda?” He’d wanted to ask for one but hadn’t. This was his way to open up a little towards her. Sit down. Have a chance to talk again. Get closer. By the end of tonight, he’d know what he needed to know. “So, how did you find out this stuff you claim is true?” Jake sat back against the wall and waited to hear what she came up with for this one.

Something was up. Allison knew better. He went from absolute denial to sudden interest. His facial expression went from anger to interest and kindness. He wasn’t being up front. But it was okay. She knew how to appeal to him. The same way you appeal to any man. Make him want what he can’t have. He will do anything to get it. That she knew from experience.
“I was working. They mistook me for someone else and made some comments. I asked the right questions and got the answers. I was going to tell the guy I was working for, but your friends found me first.” Allison handed him the can and sat down beside him, making sure to be close enough for their legs to touch.
“You work for people?” His eyes glanced down briefly and she knew that he noticed.
“Of course. Look, it’s like this.” Allison hated trying to explain. “Someone hires me. They want to find something. A secret that someone is keeping. An item that the person took from them. Money that has been swiped. Who knows? So they pay me to go in and find it. I get paid well, and I move on.”
“Someone paid you for this information? Who?” Jake leaned towards her. The plan was working.
She put her hand on his knee, casually, to create a little more spark for him.
“My clients are confidential. But they didn’t pay me for this. I was supposed to find something else. But when they thought I was somebody I wasn’t, they gave it to me willingly. I figured it’d be enough to get a good check out of my client and so I was going to do just that. But next thing I knew I was running through tunnels and hiding in this place.” Allison waved her hand around. “But I can’t complain. The bed’s comfy.” She smiled at Jake in a way that she knew was a tease. Her mom always told her if she really wanted to know what someone was thinking, look into their eyes.
His were telling stories of desire. Which would be a very sexy look for him. If she wanted him to be sexy. If she weren’t just doing a job.
CHAPTER FOUR
She was buying this shit. Hook, line, and sinker. She slid close to him. She touched him. A few of the right moves and she’d be putty in his hands. As he placed them on her body. Starting with those nice little tits. He could imagine his hands cupped around them. Teasing them. Touching them. Jake shook his head. He had to keep his focus. This was business, not pleasure. Just so happened
