[B.S. #2] Bound to Cyn
would just pretend we’re not the same person. And I don’t believe in anything mystic.” Reaching the door, she grabbed the handle and turned back. “Thanks, Lance. I know you always have my back. I just have to do what I think is best for me.”
    A thoughtful Lance watched as she left. He knew she was making a mistake with Angel, but he would play it her way. He just didn’t think she would get very far with her efforts. Angel looked like a guy that wouldn’t let anything stand in his way. And if Cinnamon thought he wouldn’t recognize her in her normal everyday wear, she would soon find out how wrong she was.

Chapter Five
     
    Angel walked with Clay up to the front door of the Playground that night. Clay seemed to be off his game today, answering back with only grunts whenever Angel talked to him. Putting his hand out, he grabbed Clay’s sleeve just before the first step. “What’s up? All day at the office and the drive here you haven’t said a word that made sense. Are you still having problems with Laura? Is there anything I can do? Is something gone wrong with this case?”
    Clay shook himself out of his depressed thoughts. He didn’t have his mind on the case. And that’s what bothered him. All of his life the next mission, and now the next case, was always foremost in his mind. But not since he met Laura. He just couldn’t get her out of his mind. He had been watching her place for the last few days and watched as different men came and went. He wanted to jump from his truck every time he saw them and chase them away, but he had no rights now that Laura had given him his walking papers. “No, there’s nothing wrong with the case. In fact if you want, I’ll take the spice side tonight. You can stay in the vanilla bar where you will feel more comfortable.”
    “No, that’s OK. I will take the spice side again. Maybe you should call Laura and clear things up with her. That lady sure has you twisted in knots. James and Avery should be back in a few weeks and it will free up some of your time to court your lady.”
    “What makes you think I’m having woman problems? I just thought that you would like the vanilla side tonight. Don’t read more into it than that.” Clay didn’t want Angel thinking too hard on his problems. With Angel, he would probably figure out the problem before he could. And while he liked Angel, sometime his insights were too personal and uncomfortable even if he was right.
    “OK, have it your way, but I’m taking the spice side tonight. Although, I still don’t agree with everything that is going on, I’ve learnt from Mark to keep an open mind. And I also want to find a certain lady. She eluded me last night, but I hope she will be here tonight. Don’t forget when you have time to ask Lance about her?”
    “Are you telling me that you’re smitten?” Clay ginned at Angel. “I’ll ask Lance. I’m sure that he will know who she is. Let’s get going and look at the feed from last night. Grant said he saw nothing but I’d like to take a look, also.”
    Opening the door they walked into the entryway to find Bob, the big bruiser, behind his desk already. He looked more like a prize fighter than a doorman.
    “Hi, Bob,” Clay greeted him. “Where’s Lance?”
    Bob didn’t return his greeting, just pointed toward Lance’s office.
    “You coming to look?” Clay turned to Angel at his side.
    “No, you go ahead. I’m going to start looking around the spice side before it fills up. Catch up with you later. And don’t forget to ask Lance about Cyn?”
    “OK, OK, I won’t. Just remember while you’re looking for your Cyn, that we are also looking for a wannabe Dom.”
    Angel paused as he opened the door to the spice bar. “I won’t. Maybe you should take your own advice and call your lady and settle things.”
    Clay opened the door of Lance’s office and thought over Angel’s words. He woulddefinitelyhave to deal with Laura. She was taking too much of his thoughts
