It might have been a trick of the shadows of the lacy black bra she was wearing, but it seemed to drop into infinity. “I certainly won’t have to resort to a pumpkin shell.”

I swallowed, wrenching my gaze away from her breasts with a strange qualm of vertigo. But the place I looked next, into her eyes, was almost as bad. There seemed to be an even deeper drop there, and I could see it clearly every inch of the way into those red depths.

“Suppose I don’t want to be kept?”

“Would it do me any good?”

“Nope. Now that I have your scent, I could track you from here to Nippon.” She grinned again. “So what’re you gonna do?”
