Red Star

[Nhysa]

Life was busy. Nhysa had a new identity embedded in a local security firm, which meant the Custody intended to keep her on DI soil for now, but also that her work had become a rotation of different assignments. She was a perfectionist above and beyond the realm of duty, and such things always took a time of study and acclimation. Still, when the invitation came from Tan Li, she accepted immediately.

The smile upon her arrival, gym bag in hand, was one of hungry appreciation, and her eyes roamed him up and down in unabashed anticipation for the morning ahead. Nhysa enjoyed watching him work, and the man’s body was art. Her greeting was visceral; a hand wound the front of his shirt to pull him down and close, and her kiss was possessive and deep enough to make a spectator blush. She smiled around it when she released him. “I have never been here before,” she said, finally taking in the building behind him. Of its reputation she knew, of course. She smoothed the rumple she’d made of his clothes, mostly for an excuse to touch him again. “Lead the way, dear one.”
