would look at one of her uncles the same way again if they told her the things Hawk was about to tell her.
Shuddering, Melonee grabbed some clothes and took a quick shower. Everyone would be waiting by the front door for her.
Once she was dressed and ready to go, Melonee made her way down the hall. She rolled her eyes when Johnny walked up next to her, giving her a knowing smile. “So everything went well?”
“The next time you want me educated on the subject of sex, come talk to me yourself,” she said, holding back her irritation. She knew Johnny was only trying to look out for her.
Johnny grew serious as he nodded. “I’ll keep that in mind. But I thought maybe it would have been better coming from someone who wouldn’t use pet terms for the anatomy.”
Melonee stopped walking and stared at Johnny. “Just what kind of pet terms?”
He blushed. “Do you really want to know?”
Not really. “Come on, french fry. Let’s go do some shopping.”
Chapter Six
    Adam paced his apartment, deep in thought. He had the files he was supposed to be working on open on his table, but that wasn’t what was on his mind.
    Melonee Brac.
God, why couldn’t he get her out of his mind? Adam had been to Brazil, Italy, France, and many other countries where beautiful women were aplenty, and he had had his fair share of sampling their ample bodies. So why was he so obsessed with this small-town woman? What was it about her that he couldn’t even concentrate on the job he was sent here to do?
Running his hands over his head, Adam decided that maybe he needed to get out and take a walk, go sightseeing, or jump into the damn water down by the pier—anything to get his mind off of her.
Donning his jacket, Adam jogged down the steps of the apartment building he was living in and walked outside, taking in a lungful of cold, December air. Instead of getting wet at the pier, Adam decided to be a little more practical and head to the coffee shop.
Today wasn’t as cold, so walking suited him just fine. It also gave him a chance to check out the new buildings and businesses in town, businesses Les had left out of his dossier. Vincent still hadn’t called Adam back, but he knew it would be a few days before he heard anything from the man.
As Adam passed by the obviously new movie theatre, he couldn’t help but feel as if someone was watching him. The hairs on the back of his neck began to rise as he glanced around, but he didn’t see anyone paying him any attention. There were a few cars driving by, a handful of people on the streets, but no one was looking his way.
Even though he had confirmed no one was paying him any attention, the feeling wouldn’t go away. He strode into the small coffee shop, pushing the thought of someone watching him from his mind. It had to be the lack of sleep he was experiencing. No one knew why he was here, so no one would think to keep an eye on him.
Not until he began his slow progression through town, talking the people into selling their homes to the large corporation.
Before Adam ordered his hot chocolate, he headed toward the back where he assumed the bathrooms were located. As he entered the small hallway, he was shocked to see Melonee coming out of the ladies’ room.
From the expression on her pretty face, she was just as surprised to see him. Her blue eyes rounded as she stared at him and then quickly looked behind him. Adam turned but didn’t see anyone in the hallway with them. “Hello, Melonee.”
He could see her swallowing tightly as she once again glanced behind him. “Hi, Adam.”
Her voice alone was doing things to Adam that still confused him. No other woman’s voice made his cock rock hard just from hearing the sweet tone. He couldn’t understand it, but he had an overwhelming urge to pull her into his arms and lay claim to her.
What the devil?
He wasn’t here to hook up with anyone. That was the last thing he needed right now. What he needed to do was walk away, but instead, he stood
