Chapter 109

I’d had to do a bit of investigating when I learned one of my people had been seen with a male escort. If it had been Syd or Lyn, it wouldn’t have caused much concern, but since it was a male officer, I needed to be sure he wasn’t setting himself up to be blackmailed. When it turned out the escort, known in the trade as “Sweetcheeks,” was not only well thought of, but knew how to keep his mouth shut, I dropped the investigation, although I kept an eye on my officer. Another lapse in judgment could very well prove fatal, not only for him but for the men who worked with him.

A few months later, however, he’d left the Company when an elderly relative passed away and left him a good deal of money.

I glanced from the escort to my lover. I didn’t suppose I was surprised Mark would know a male escort, although I was surprised that he’d pay for sex. He’d never struck me as the kind of man who would do that.
