She smiled at his comment and had no interest in correcting his misunderstanding. I am here. But not for what you think. The man stared off at two hard looking men in the corner. The way they stood, focused on him, said that he was important. But perhaps not as she had thought. Members of an inner circle might have a guard or two present. But never that looked at him as if he was the danger.
She was tempted to leave him to his watchers and continue her recon when he moved toward the balcony and then turned to her and introduced himself, offering his hand. Inwardly, she rolled her eyes even as she gave her own cover name. "Lucy Nolan."
Another pansy-ass who thought himself royalty or some such. His hands were soft and delicate and feminine, far more than her own. She had no doubts of her own attractiveness. She'd seen the hunger in men's eyes quite often. But this man displayed none of it. It was entirely possible his interests ran to other men.
She eyed the two guards again. Was that the reason? Mexican culture still had a strong machismo sentiment despite decades of social reform. Still, it seemed unlikely that would be the reason.
Curiosity peaked, she didn't look away from the men while she spoke to him. "Your friends don't seem much impressed with your lineage."
She wanted to laugh at him. Peerage. She decided to be a bit rougher with him. "Does Oakland distrust men of distinction such as yourself?"
