not to fall for him. Men like Sean were easy to fall for, which made them a danger to any woman with an open heart. She had to guard her heart well against him. She took some comfort in the fact that he understood their situation and was comfortable with it.

Sean sat at his desk reminiscing about Kelee. He loved the way her body had responded to him last night. He couldnât wait to make love to her. He wanted to feel her wrapped around him. He wanted to hear her cry out his name. Last night he knew he had put his mark on her. She would have given in to him regardless of the condom issue. He laughed under his breath because last night he did have a condom. He wanted to make sure that she really wanted him and she did. His plan to seduce her was going along just fine.
âI see she still have yuâ smilinâ; must be nice,â Jack said, entering his office. Sean pushed all thoughts of Kelee aside.
âWhaâ yuâ have for me?â
âYuâ not goinâ to tell me who she is?â Jack asked.
âNo,â he insisted.
âMusâ be good.â Jack grinned.
âCan we move on?â he asked, pretending to be annoyed.
Jack laughed. âNow I canât wait to meet her.â
Sean glared at him and Jack got serious, briefing him on a potential bad situation involving some deportees who were actually from Africa looking to start up a drug ring.
âPut Hall and King on it; the minute they do someâting I want them locked up,â Sean told Jack.
Deportees were the leading cause of violence in the Caribbean these days. Many of them were too embarrassed to be deported to their native island so they told the U.S.A., Canada, and England immigration that they were from other islands. Many of them were starting to create gangs, causing violence to escalate on some islands. Jamaica was having a big problem right now with its deportees. Sean wasnât about to have any of itânot in St. Pala. The minute they did something illegal he was locking them up for good.
âWhaâ âbout Mike?â he asked.
âHeâs still in Cayman.â
âI want to know the minute he sets foot back here,â Sean insisted.
âYuâ got it.â Jack nodded.
âNoâting on Adams and Penn?â
âNoâtingâ. Iâm runninâ out of âtings to tell the families,â Jack told him.
âTell them they had to go to Cayman to do an investigation.â Sean was grasping at straws and they both knew it. Jack gave him a questioning look. He also knew that Adamsâ and Pennâs wives wouldnât buy it, but it was all he had to give right now. He had run out of places to look for them; it was like they had disappeared into thin air. Sean had to keep the faith. He wouldnât believe anything until he saw his men, dead or alive, preferably alive.
âYuâ sure yuâ want to do that?â
âJusâ tell them.â He sighed, frustrated. He didnât want to give them anything to worry about when he didnât have any proof.
Jack left his office. Sean sat in silence listening to the rain beat against the air-conditioner unit in the window. He needed to find his men. He had exhausted just about all his possibilities, but there were still a few people he could call, so he got on the phone.
Sean spent a great part of his day on the phone. By the time he had gotten home he was drained. As he relaxed with a Red Stripe beer, his thoughts drifted to Kelee. He picked up the phone.
Lori answered the phone on the third ring. âHello?â
âHey, baby mama,â he teased, and Lori laughed.
âKeep it up,â Lori warned, amused.
âHow yuâ feelinâ, by the way?â he asked on a more serious note. She was on the last leg of her pregnancy and he knew it wasnât always pleasant. He had heard enough stories from his sisters to know.
âNot too bad,â Lori
