Free Intrigue at Haven's Crossing by Kyleigh Drake Page B

a tall, dark, extremely built man who was walking their way. “Adriano! It’s good to see you. I want you to meet someone. Myka, this is Adriano Santos. He owns the gym where I work out. Adriano, this is Myka.”
    “It is my pleasure to meet you, Myka. What a lovely name for such a lovely woman,” Adriano had a heavy, sexy accent that made her jaw drop open. When he took her hand and kissed it, she thought her heart may have skipped a beat.
    “Th–thank you. Sir,” she said as she swallowed the lump in her throat. My God, he would be perfect for Sheila! I’ve got to tell Kim.
    “I have been wondering where you have been for the past week, my friend, and now I know the reason for your absence. You have been working out at home, instead,” he said as he looked at Myka and smiled. Myka could feel her face getting red, and she immediately looked away and took a deep breath as the men continued to talk. She couldn’t wait to call Kim and tell her about Adriano, but it was already late, so it would have to wait until tomorrow.
    The rest of the evening was uneventful, and Myka was grateful. After they were finished, she reached up and kissed Blake on the lips. “What’s that for?” he asked in surprise.
    “For bringing me back here. I liked it much better, and I had a good time. So, can I ask you a question?”
    “Myka, you know you can ask me anything.”
    “Well, uh, I was wondering about Adriano. Is he married or anything or in a relationship?”
    Blake looked at her with uncertainty. “No, ma’am, he is not in a relationship.”
    “Where is he from exactly? Is he a nice guy? Is he a Master, too?”
    “Myka, is there something you need to tell me? Are you looking to trade me in already?”
    “Blake, no! Of course not. You’re not getting rid of me that easy, mister.”
    “Okay, well that definitely makes me feel better. So, why all the questions?”
    “Our friend, Sheila, she’s a personal trainer. She’d be perfect for Adriano. She’s tall, blonde, and beautiful. He wouldn’t be able to resist her. Now, tell me everything about him,” she said anxiously.
    “He was married once for about ten years then moved here after the divorce. He’s had his gym about seven years, I guess. He’s a good man and not a Master, but dominant. He’s from Brazil, knows how to speak Portuguese, and loves his mother. I’m not sure of his blood type, but that shouldn’t be hard to find out.” Myka hit him playfully for his sarcasm, but was thrilled the guy was single. And thank God he wasn’t a Master. Sheila wouldn’t go for that.
    After they got home, they made love Myka’s favorite way—with Blake in control, and it was amazing. And as she dozed off in his arms, she could’ve sworn she heard him whisper, “I love you.”

Chapter 7
     
    The next day, Myka got up and got dressed for her day at the spa. Before she left, Blake again reminded her, after tapping her on the nose and giving her a warning look “Drive safe, princess, or you won’t be driving at all.”
    “I will , Blake,” she said, sounding like a teenager being lectured by her father. She grabbed her purse and headed out the door.
    When Kim saw the Camaro she screamed so loud that Caleb came out to check on her. “It’s freaking gorgeous! I’m so happy for you, but I’m jealous, too—they won’t even let me look at a car like this.” Logan and Caleb both came and checked it out, and after they gave their lecture about driving safe, the girls drove away for their appointment.
    “So, have you ever met Adriano Santos that owns the gym?” Myka asked.
    “I’ve heard Logan and Caleb talk about him, but I haven’t actually met him. Why?”
    “Oh my God, Kim. I met him at the club last night. Not only does he own a gym, he is one of the most gorgeous men I have ever laid eyes on in my life! He would be perfect for Sheila. He’s from Brazil, and he has this sexy accent that would drive any woman wild.”
    “Wow. It sounds like I need to
