Nikolai 2 (Her Russian Protector #6) - Plot & Excerpts
"Get us a table?" "Sure." I turned to the side to avoid being whacked by a tall and impeccably dressed man carrying a briefcase. The downtown finance and energy crowd seemed to have descended upon the restaurant for their popular lunch service. Ten's suggestion that we go elsewhere seemed terribly prescient now. My shadow stood a few feet behind me. I glanced back at him and instantly noticed his tense posture. A pang of guilt struck me. Ten's time on the inside probably made loud, noisy places like this difficult to handle. His hard-edged gaze jumped around the busy, bustling room. No doubt he saw potential threats in every face. The hostess smiled at me. "How many in your party?" "Three," I said, stepping up to her station. "The wait time is forty-five minutes to an hour," she replied with an apologetic expression. "I'd offer to seat you at the bar until a table opens but…" "That's fine. We'll wait." I moved away from the hostess and lifted on tiptoes to see if I could spot Erin. I turned toward Ten.
