Excerpt from Hidden Machinery Chapter Fifteen: Compliance
“Well, Delphie,” the stranger purred, “I thought of you the moment I laid eyes on it.”
Tori's head snapped up.
Delphie? No one called Choufleur that. Not if they wanted to live.
She focused her attention to the end of the hall where the receptionist desk was stationed around the corner. Choufluer was managing the phones while Kovacs and Orla were on assignment across the department. She couldn’t see who was in the waiting room. But she could hear plenty.
“It was on full display,” the man continued. “Sleek. Sculpted. Impossibly well-defined. I said to myself—‘Only one woman could appreciate this properly.’”
Tori lifted both hands from her keyboard in an involuntary gasp of horror.
Was this really happening?
“You’re not seriously doing this right now,” Choufleur replied, her voice dry. But there was something unreadable beneath it. Was she amused? Annoyed? Tori couldn’t tell.
“Come on,” the man said, his tone thick with self-satisfaction. “You know I’m your type. Exotic, dangerous, limited edition.”
Tori looked around. Where was Kovacs when she needed her?
“Some things,” the man added, a little softer now, “are meant to be handled delicately. Held in the palm of your hand for just a moment before it melts on your tongue.”
