guests are having. One of the men watching me brought me some books to read. If it weren't for the dark, dank basement prison and the fact that I'm being held hostage, this wouldn't be a bad vacation." She says and smiles.
    That's Sophie for you. She's always looked on the bright side of things. My baby sister is the only thing that's kept me going when life got dark.
    "I'll get you out of here. I've found someone to help me, so it should be soon. She's Tom Hunt's assistant, and I know she's got the information I need."
    "Oh, a woman? Is she nice? Is she pretty?" Sophie says hopefully.
    "Sis, seriously? You're being held hostage by the Russian mob, and you're worried about my love life?" Sophie is too much sometimes.
    "Like you have a love life." She says and rolls her eyes playfully.
    "Times up." The goon says from behind me.
    "I'll be back for you soon," I say and squeeze her hands.
    "Girl will be all right." The big man says and winks at Sophie. I'm surprised when she winks back at him.
    I guess I know who brought her the books and the decent food, and I'm a little less terrified for her when the realization hits that e she's got someone inside looking out for her.
    I should have known someone would be kind to her. Sophie brings out the best in everyone. So of course, if one person were working for Vlad who has a soul, Sophie would find them.
    "Hang in there, little bit," I say as her big, scary looking protector ushers me out.
    "Must follow the rules, or they take me off little bit’s guard detail," He says, and I understand that he's apologizing for not letting me in to hug her.
    "I understand. Thank you."

Chapter Five
    Lilith
    When I got the call at work today to meet Adam tonight, I was really excited. Far more excited than I should be. Then, I googled the address and found out it's an abandoned church. I'm not sure if that's exciting or terrifying.
    I run home after work and change into jeans and tennis shoes. I was wearing a navy pinstripe skirt suit and stilettos at work today, and that didn't seem like an appropriate outfit for an abandoned building. I also wanted to get those stupid shoes off my feet. My next job is going to have to be something where I can wear shoes that are more comfortable.
    I gave Adam my cell number today when he called my office so he didn't have to chance to call me at work again. My secretary would run right to Tom if she thought there was even the slightest chance she could get me fired and take my place. Yes, I am a personal assistant. Yes, I have a secretary. I need one to do my administrative tasks. She would also steal my job in a heartbeat if she could.
    My phone chirps with a text message right about the time I pull up in front of the church.
    Meet me around back. - Adam
    When I walk around to the alley, I see Adam standing next to a black and chrome motorcycle scuffing his boot in the gravel. He's 100% sexy in his black motorcycle jacket, and I imagine grabbing it and pulling him in for a long, slow kiss.
    "Hello, Lilith." His voice is smooth like liquid chocolate, and I want to hear him say my name a hundred times. Even that probably wouldn't be enough.
    "Hi, Adam. So, why are we here at the spooky old church?"
    "Wait just a moment." He says and slips a key into the back door.
    "Yes. Come on in. It only looks abandoned from the outside. We've got power and running water in here thanks to Beck's awesome hacking skills." He says and opens the door for me.
    "Becks?" I note a tinge of jealousy flopping around in my belly at the prospect of a woman in his life.
    "Rebecca Palmer. A childhood friend, criminal accomplice, hacker extraordinaire, and also a lesbian." He says and chuckles.
    "I wasn't. I mean." Damn, he picked up on my jealousy.
    "Sure. Sure. I didn't mean any harm." He says good-naturedly. "Follow me. I'd like for you to meet her."
    He leads me towards a set of stairs that descend into the old church's basement.
    "The basement?" I say apprehensively.
    "It's not so bad.
