JJ frowned. “Did she seem…?” She shook her head, thinking how easy he was to talk with. As if they were friends rather than two people passing time in a bar.

“She wanted to warn you that I enjoy women. Which is true.” He rose. “I need to be going. I hadn’t realized we’d talked so long.”

It really was late—and she’d had fun. “I need to head back to my room, too.”

“Then, might I escort you to the elevator?” He held his hand out to help her to her feet.

“Sure.” She let him pull her to her feet, and they walked out of the bar and across the hotel lobby. Only two front desk clerks remained. One smiled at her and nodded. The other one, a curvy blonde with big hair, frowned and turned her back.

As she got in the elevator, she smiled at Cazador. “Thanks for the escort—and the conversation.”

“It was my pleasure. Good night, Nevada.” With a smile and a nod, he walked toward the rear of the hotel.

She shook her head. That was one amazing man…although she still felt a bit embarrassed about the aborted kiss. Just as well she’d never see him again.
