During the summer after his college graduation, Alex Hayde went home to help out at the family's tiny tavern. That evening, he carried a platter to the door of a private room. Just as he was about to step in, he caught snippets of whispering from inside. "Damn, this new Ms. Yoppe is tough. She keeps throwing wrenches into the Water Conservancy Project. If she wasn't such a looker, I'd teach her a lesson." "Heh, heh. So the boss has a soft spot after all. Kimberly Yoppe's got a huge rack-soft and full, real tempting… But I've got a plan. You can have both the money and the woman." "For hell's sake, quit teasing me. Spit it out!" "We invited her to dinner, didn't we? I've got something that makes people compliant… Slip it in her wine. Once it kicks in, she'll throw herself at you. Boss, you just go with it. With that kind of leverage, the Water Conservancy Project will be as good as yours. She's new here, still finding her feet. She can't take you on." "You know what, that makes sense. You've got tricks up your sleeve. We'll do it your way. I can't wait to have my way with her all night." Alex flinched. Through the crack of the door he saw three heavyset men rubbing at their chests and laughing. The one they called Boss Denford was bald. Two others sprawled beside him, one with dyed red hair, named Cain, and the other with lank long hair, named Nichel. Greasy, leering smiles spread across their faces. Cain held up a little bottle, grinning as he tilted it toward an empty glass. It clicked for Alex right away. He'd heard how Lionel Denford swaggered around the township, preying on the weak. Men like that turned his stomach. And now they were laying a trap for the new township head. If they wormed their way into the Water Conservancy Project, the folks here would pay the price. But should he stick his neck out? Denford was not a man to cross. As he hesitated, a woman in a tailored suit stepped into the doorway. She was composed and striking, fine-boned and arrestingly pretty, tall with a confident sway. What drew the eye most was the firm rise of her chest beneath the blouse, the fabric lifting with her breath, the line of buttons taut. She was ripe with the allure of a woman in her prime. She glanced at Alex without a word and pushed the door open. Alex paused, then followed with the platter. Kimberly Yoppe did not sit. She stood straight and said, crisp and steady, "Mr. Denford, I came today to make my position clear. As for the Water Conservancy Project, there's no point coming to me about this anymore. As the township head, I have to put our people first and answer for the quality of the work. The Committee Meeting will decide who takes on the project. Coming to me won't change that." Lionel Denford's expression didn't flicker. He smiled. "No need to get worked up, Ms. Yoppe. I'm not a small-minded man. We can talk about the Water Conservancy Project later. I invited you tonight to smooth over our misunderstanding. Drink this and we'll call it even, friends from here on out." As soon as he heard Denford press her to drink, Alex's stomach knotted. Denford and his cronies were trouble. And the way Ms. Yoppe had just stood her ground made Alex admire her. If a woman like her fell into their hands, it'd be a travesty. He shot a glance at the glasses on the cabinet, grabbed four. "Gentlemen, sorry about this. Your wine glasses were used by the last party. We forgot to swap them out. Let me get you fresh ones." He stepped up, ready to switch the glasses. "Get lost. We don't need new glasses." Cain slammed Alex's hand away, eyes bulging. Alex flicked a look at Ms. Yoppe. Her face was composed, her gaze cool. Her blouse strained at the buttons, a pale gleam showing where the fabric pulled. Alex pursed his lips and spit to one side. "Let's at least change the lady's glass. The old one isn't clean." He put extra weight on "isn't clean," meeting her eyes to warn her. "Don't change mine either. Go serve someone else." Ms. Yoppe didn't catch his meaning. She shot him a sharp look. Denford, seeing it, gave Nichel the barest nod. Nichel lunged, seized Alex by the shirt, and shoved him to the door. "If I don't call you, stay out." The door shut. Nichel planted himself outside like a bouncer, flexing his hands, shoulders set for a fight. Sweat slipped down Alex's back. If Kimberly drank the dosed wine, she'd fall straight into their snare. What could he do? He set the glasses down, picked up a bundle of chopsticks, and went to try again. As he reached the door, Nichel barred him, eyes glittering with malice. Alex feigned a turn toward the next room and stood still. Inside, Denford's voice carried. "Ms. Yoppe, you're every bit as capable as any man. You're the real deal. Finish this drink and we'll call it square." "Mr. Denford, I have to get to a county meeting. I won't take more of your time. Goodbye." The door opened. Kimberly Yoppe, cheeks faintly flushed, shot Nichel a chilly glance, then looked past him at Alex. Alex's heart lurched. He ducked behind the counter with his platter. Ms. Yoppe left the little tavern and disappeared into the dark. Nichel dashed back into the room. Alex crept to the door again to listen. "Fine. If she plays hard, I play harder. You two, go after her. She's heading east for the county meeting. In two minutes the drug will kick in. She'll burn up all over. I'll give her the full treatment!" "Oh yeah, boss. Then it's up to you, top to bottom or bottom to top. Either way, those soft, pale tits will feel great in your hands." "Use your head. That backside is pale and soft too. Boss can start wherever he likes." "Ha, ha, ha. Move it. I'm about to burst." Alex heard every word. His blood boiled. The bastards were beyond rotten. No. He couldn't let Denford's scheme succeed. Without thinking, he spun and sprinted for the back door. Outside, the night had deepened. He ran hard along the road. Ahead, he spotted Kimberly Yoppe collapsed on the ground, her body curled tight. Her fingers clawed at her blouse. A low, hazy moan escaped her lips.
