"Uncle Hank, can you get me some castor beans?" This kid, she keeps you on your toes; always up to something. Add the fact that she's her dad's carbon copy and well - "Who are you planning to poison little girl?""Who-what? No one, what do you mean? I have to go mommy's calling me. Coming mommy." The little sneak hung up as I grinned.I hung up on my end and called her dad. "Lyon, what did you do to piss off your daughter lately?""Which one? The damn place is crawling with them.""My girl.""Mengele? Nothing why, what did she say?""Well, she's trying to get her hands on castor beans and knowing your kid as I have come to, there can be only one reason for that.""Fuck me, Catalina, get in here." The panic in his voice cracked me the hell up."I'll go and let you take care of that little issue. Call me if she drops any bodies and you need help with clean up. Then again you're pretty good at that shit yourself.""Fuck you, I have to go deal with Hitler's youth catch you later." I hung
Lyon Chapter 1: LYON
I wasn't expecting her, so I guess that's why she blindsided me. This was totally unexpected and at a time when I had all but thrown in my hat and said fuck it.I'd been playing the field for a while now, and was tired of it. I was looking for something more; something was missing. I'd come close once, but thank God I escaped that nightmare. Turns out she was more interested in status, and all that other superficial bullshit.So I'd taken a step back, and taken myself out of the game. There just wasn't anyone in my circle that came close to what I was looking for, so I'd decided unofficially to hang it up. I was thirty two, and I guess my biological clock was ticking, if such a thing even existed for a man.That's when she sidled into my life with no big splash and no fanfare. That wasn't her style, and maybe that's how she did it. Maybe that's how she wrapped herself around my heart so effortlessly.She was a complete enigma, and she was totally opposite from every woman, or girl, I'd

After Jared returned from running her home I called him into the office. I had a few questions I needed answered.He was still all smiles and excitement, which led me to believe, there was more going on with them than he was saying."What's up, Colt, you wanted to see me?""Yeah come in and sit down."I studied him as he sat across from me, and his relaxed posture as he slouched in the chair."You sure she can handle working around here, Jared, this place is not your everyday run of the mill office.""Don't worry man, she'll be fine, just let her get settled in and she'll be a great asset I promise.""Why're you so into this girl? I thought you weren't interested like that.""Nah man, she's like my kid sister, it's just, she's had a hard time lately, and I just want to look out for her, ya know. We've always been tight. Our fathers are like brothers man.""Okay, if you say so. I heard you getting into it with Jennifer before, how'd that go?""Seriously, what did you ever see
Lyon Chapter 3: KAT
I'm extremely nervous. It's my first day on the job and already I'm dreading it. The work shouldn't be a problem. I'm kinda smart, so taking orders and putting them into a computer spread sheet should be easy enough, but Jared hadn't told me his boss was so...male. Then again Jared doesn't know my little secret, no one does. "Kat, you sure you want to do this so soon. Why don't you give yourself some time?" "It's okay, dad, I need to stay busy. Don't worry about me, Jared will be there, so I'll be fine." "If you're sure, I just don't want you to think you have to work. I can give you an allowance until you decide what you want to do." "Thanks, dad, that's sweet, but I'm cool. Now eat your breakfast and get to work." "Yes ma'am, you know you don't have to do this everyday. I can always grab a bite at the diner on the way." "It's no trouble, dad, stop worrying." "So, how's this new boss of yours, he seem like a nice guy?" I took my time answering. I knew because of what

Chances are I was going to be fired anyway, so what the hell. "Fact of the matter is, you were obnoxiously rude, Mr. Grumpy. If you want respect, then you first have to give it." "Excuse me young lady, do you have any idea who I am?" "Marcª" Again Colton tried to intervene, but I beat him to it, enough is enough. For the past three months or so I've been playing the coward. Just because life had thrown me a curveball, didn't mean I had to roll over and play dead, and I'd be damned if I was going to play the coward here like I had in Arizona. "Listen, Dragon heart, I don't really much care who you are. From the looks of you, you have money, and maybe that's why you think you can get away with treating people just any old way, but your money doesn't mean squat to me, so why don't you take your money and your pompous attitude and go fuª" "Katª" " Sloaneª" Jared and Colton cut into my resignation speech before I could get to the good part. Suddenly there was a burst of

That night I called my mom for our nightly chat. My mom is my sounding board whenever my mind becomes overcrowded. "So how's the new job sweetie, you like it?" "It's fine, mom, pretty easy, but guess what. So this guy calls today and he's as rude as you want to be, he just rubbed me the wrong way you know, so I kinda let him have itª" "Wait a minute, you did what?" "I put him in his place, next thing I know he's showing up there." "He didn't hurt you, did he baby?" I hated the panic in her voice. "No, mom, let me tell you. So anyway, turns out he's this Uber rich old coot with the manners of a wildebeest, but guess what, he gave the boss a contract to supply him with bikes for all his ventures and apparently there are a ton of them.""Like, he works with Hollywood and racing circuits here, and in Europe, among other things. He said he liked my style, and that's why he finally decided to give Colton the contract." "Colton, ooh....... first name basis already, is this Colt
Lyon Chapter 6: LYON
I was gone for about an hour before I felt it was safe to return. I'd done some thinking while I was gone, and I'd realized that part of my problem was Char's stupid prediction, which made no sense because I don't believe in that shit anyway. So there was really nothing like a blooming attraction, or anything going on, just the power of suggestion I guess. I turned the corner and almost had a heart attack. She was standing on the seat of a power bike holding onto the handlebars while my crew stood around watching her. I didn't run, or yell, or make any fast movements. I didn't want to scare her, and make her fall. She flipped herself over the bars and back into the seat in a seated position. That's when I moved forward, well when my legs finally worked anyway. The crew was whistling and applauding while she grinned the biggest fucking grin I had ever seen on her face behind the helmet. Everyone grew quiet when they saw me coming, and some of the men started to scatter. "
Lyon Chapter 7: KAT
Well, I couldn't find a good enough excuse to get out of coming to the BBQ, so by Sunday evening, yes the last minute, I found myself in the nearest town shopping, something I used to love, but haven't had any interest in for a while. Everything seemed foreign as I perused the shops, like I'd forgotten how it was done. The last sales girl wasn't much older than I in this one place, and she was super helpful. She was all about body structure and what looked best on which frame, but I just needed a pair of jeans and some chucks, that's all. Instead, I left the place with some dressy cargo pants in dark blue, a white sleeveless silk tee, and three inch spike heeled wrap around sandals. When I tried to argue that the shoes weren't suitable for a BBQ, Susan, the helpful shopper, told me the outfit wouldn't work with anything else. So that's how I ended up at a BBQ packed with strangers, dressed like an idiot. Or at least that's how I felt before everyone started complimenting me on
