Only, they were hesitant.
That was until his wife used what they knew tended to lure the bad guys in.
Jinx baited the hook, telling them she was alone, scared, and made herself sound very young. She peppered the conversation with ‘she didn’t have family around’ mentioning it more than once.
And that worked.
If they were assisting with stealing women and working for Chevy, they wouldn’t be able to resist the lure.
And the outcome?
Well, it worked.
The two men were MORE than happy to offer to come to her—instead of her coming into the precinct. In fact, they were coming right out, and not to bother calling the cops again. They would handle it.
They promised.
Oh, Rogue bet they would.
When his wife found a pretty dress in the homeowner’s closet and put it on, she looked lovely.
In fact, she looked tempting.
She did her hair, makeup, and she tried to look a little too appealing for her own good.
While it should unnerve him, it didn’t. You didn’t walk up to a Mamba and grab it.
Someone was going to get hurt, and he knew it wouldn’t be Jinx.
When she noticed him staring, she started laughing.
“Rogue. Focus.”
He was.
He was focused on her ass in that vintage-y dress, and how it made him want to play man of the manor with his deadly wife.
“I could take you again,” he said, watching her slip on heels, and make herself lovely bait.
Oh, she bet.
“Maybe I’ll let you as we wait for the team to get here. You do know how much I love my husband all over me. He’s incredibly sexy and tricky. It’s that wicked smile, and those very clever hands that make me giddy.”
Well, if that didn’t describe him, nothing did.
Because he could, he gave her a kiss.
Then, he was serious. Staring into her eyes, he warned her.
“Be careful. I don’t like the idea of anyone touching my wife. I’ll be in the next room if you need me. Just yell for help.”
Was he serious?
She stared at him like he’d lost his mind.
“You do realize they didn’t codename me Mamba because I looked good in black, right?”
He actually laughed.
