Eustace jerked his head away from her
touch. “As delectable as you are, Fancy, I’m still not interested in sampling
your charms. Your time would be spent better going after some other man.”
“Now, sugar, that’s no way to talk to
Fancy. You know I only want what’s best for you.” She leaned in and whispered
in his ear. “You know our cook you keep watching whenever she comes out in the
room? You willing to help her, sugar?”
Eustace tensed. What is this woman
up to? He studied her with hooded eyes and lowered his voice. “Depends.”
Fancy ran her fingertip along his left
jaw as she spoke softly in his right ear. “I need you to order a peach brandy.
You got the money for that, sugar?”
..... “Clyde
doesn’t keep his peach brandy out front. He only has a few bottles—for special
occasions. They’re locked away in his storeroom. I need to get in there to look
for something he’s keeping from Lorena. First, I have to get the key from him.”
Eustace sensed the woman’s words held
truth. He felt his body prepare for a mission. “I’m listening.”
She rose to her feet. While Fancy
trailed her fingers along his chest and across the back of his neck, she slowly
moved to his side and leaned over until her lips reached his other ear. “Now,
sugar, you see how Rosa and Sabrina are both working on two men to take
upstairs? I need to wait until they call Clyde over and get him busy making
financial arrangements. That’s when I’ll ask him for the key.”
Eustace held his body still and his
face expressionless, but his mind raced. Whatever is going on, both of the
others are in on it.
