Leonidas Montgomery was just leaving the Caf' when he noticed the cab pull up to the front of the quaint hotel across the street from the Caf'e. As the door was opened by the driver Leonidas stopped in his tracks to look and appreciate the slim shapely legs . Those legs had to belong to an American for American women were the only creatures in the world with legs like the ones he was gazing at. As Leonidas's eyes followed the legs up to slim shapely hips and then to the tiny waist and on to the delectable outline of small but firm breasts he had the strong sense of de ja vue. Leonidas knew the owner of those legs and he knew before he saw her face what he would see. He was irritated to realize that seeing her was causing the same physical reaction as before which was sensual and provocative.

If he didn't have to be somewhere whtin the hour he would hand arond a bit to see what Miss James was up to, but his meeting could not be resechudeld, yet he could not leave her unattended.
With a nod one of his security men stepped forward, "Nico, I want you to keep an ey on the Americian who just stepped out of the cab. Her name is Miss James and let me know everything she does and everyone she talks to." and Nico do not let her know she is being watched I don't want my little
