Fatal Beauty (aka Her Revenge)

Her Revenge~Chapter Four

~Chapter 4~

“What the… argh!” Tessa yelled as she beat her pillow into submission. It had been four days since meeting Bron and she couldn’t get him out of her head. Bloody hell, he didn’t even touch me and I’m acting like some crazed teenager.

Tessa just laid there in bed staring at the cycling fan. Watching it spin, she recalled every detail of her brief encounter with the Brazilian god. Knock it off. Tessa wiped the sappy smile off her face. You can’t let a guy get into your head like that. Dammit you know better. Turning back over, Tessa buried her head in her pillow, screaming at the top of her lungs. Letting out any and all of her built up frustration over a man she just met.

“That’s it.” Tessa once again talking to herself leaped out of bed. “I’ve got to keep busy to get him out of my system.”

Pulling out her other cell phone, the untraceable kind, Tessa punched in a number. The phone rang once on the other end before someone picked up the line. “Name and status?” The dry tone cracked against the receiver.

“Silent Demise, 445.” Tessa replied automatically. Any other conversation between the callers was drop; all that could be heard was the clicking of keys through the receiver.  

“Well, well… it’s my little silent death, how is my lethal little girl?” The gentleman on the other end finally said, breaking the silence.

Tessa smiled. “Oh LeRoy… I’m smokin as always hun.”

“Well what can I do for you sweet cheeks; it looks like you’re supposed to be taking a month off after your last hmm… case. Did, you miss my sweet voice so much you just had to call in and say hey girl, hey?” Leroy chuckled.

“Oh, LeRoy honey, you know it.” Tessa laughed right along with him.

“You know girl, if you were a man, I’d have snatched you up by now.” LeRoy teased.

“Now don’t go breaking my heart there LeRoy baby, you know I'm your one and only. “ Tessa teased the man on the other end of the phone.

“You know I have nothing but love for you my lethal little girl, but enough play. What do you need?” LeRoy turned all business.

“Well, I need to keep busy. Do you have a case for me?” Tessa asked, getting straight to the point.

Tessa could here LeRoy clear his throat. “You’re not due to be back for another two weeks. What is the rush?”

“As I told you, I just need to keep busy. Do you have anything for me or not?” Tessa asked again. Feeling a little exasperated. She could hear him hitting the keys again… which brought her a little hope.

“Okay love, let me see what I can do. Call this number again in twenty-five minutes. Status 6549.”

With that, the phone went dead.  Tessa, flipped the phone closed and started pacing around the room. Hope he pulls something out of his ass for me. I can’t take this. With that, Tessa slipped out of the pajamas she’d been wearing all day and jumped in the shower. If LeRoy could pull a case out of his ass, she’d be ready to jump on it.

Feeling the water cascade down her back, Tessa began lathering up her legs with shaving cream. The steam caressed her body as she ran the razor lightly up the length of her long, sleek, muscular leg. Continuing on Tessa finished shaving her legs, lathered and rinsed her hair, and loofahed her steaming body with an alluring body wash. It didn’t take long for the twenty-five minutes to pass.

Jumping out of the shower, Tessa wrapped herself up in a towel and redailed the number. Listening to the phone ring, she waited for LeRoy to answer.  Finally he picked up. “Name and status.”
