DeMonte's Secret- Series 2

Chapter Thirteen: One Hell of a Shock

Dimmed lights, soft jazz, and sophisticated laughter filled the room. Wine and champagne was being served along with shrimp cocktails and cheese.

A long thick toned leg caught his attention. They were accented with black stilettos. His eyes traveled up the leg to see them attached to a thick waist and great ass that was covered by a long black dress that fell to the floor. It had a slit that went up to the upper thigh.

Beauty caught his eyes. That perfect shimmering waist long auburn hair made him drool. Oh and those green eyes. He walked towards the only piece of beauty he saw.

"Champagne?"

He asked as he held out a glass of champagne.

"I prefer red wine."

The gorgeous woman said.

"You do temp me Mrs. DeMonte."

The man said smirking.

"But do I?"

Yasmin asked as she sipped on her red wine her perfectly red colored lips catching his eye.

"God when this is over."

He purred.

"Down boy, down."

Yasmin said as she fixed her hair. Luckily for her, their agencies had semi permanent hair dye. It stayed in long enough until taken out by special shampoo. Her disguise was perfect. Her hand felt so bare without a ring.

"Don't get used to this."

Chris said holding her bare hand.

"Wouldn't dream of it sunshine."

She said as she placed her glass down. She adjusted her breasts and winked at Chris. Yasmin couldn't risk being caught with him. She walked into the ballroom to see him there dressed in white. It hit her instantly. The honey brown hair and the seaweed green eyes. The jawline and the facial features.

"What?"

Yasmin asked shaking her head half an inch to the right, half an inch to the left. Her breath was sucked from her chest as tears filled her eyes. She slowly walked over to him- stopping after her first step. The famous smell hit her nose. She closed her eyes and breathed it in deeply. She exhaled and looked at him with blurry eyes.

"Gage Austin Benson."

She whispered. A tear fell from her eye as she looked at him dancing with a beautiful brunette. That's when she knew it couldn't be her brother. Her eyes nearly tricked her.

Common mistake. Of course. He had been dead for 10 years. Yasmin laughed to herself and shook her head. She turned around to wipe her tears.

"May I.."

The voice paused for a second.

"Have this dance?"

It asked all smooth and romanticly. Yasmin turned around to see the Gage look-a-like standing there.

"Why sure."

Yasmin said getting back into her character. He lead her to the dance floor and held her close and tight. He held her perfectly. Exactly the way he used to.

"You know Kitty, I preferred you a honey brown."

He said into her ear.

"It is you.."

Yasmin said looking up into those familiar green eyes.

"In the flesh."

He said softly.

"But how? You died when I was 18."

Yasmin said as they danced along the floor.

"I had become a secret agent for the army and they, uh, kinda faked my death. I've been alive all this time searching for you guys."

He said looking at her.

"How's my Jason? Has he moved on and in love with another man?"

He asked. Yasmin shook her head chuckling.

"He's fine. Head chef at my brother in law's restaurant."

Yasmin said. She looked in amazement at her brother. Her own brother in the flesh.

"Nonno, como sta?"

"Grandfather, how is he?"

Gage asked looking around.

"Lui è buono."

"He's good."

She couldn't believe it.

"Gage, I'm not going to lie to you, I have important things to do here. Things I'm not sure you should know about yet. But, go look for a blonde haired guy, with blue eyes, about 6'4 with a scar on his eyebrow. You'll know it's him because well- he's the hottest guy in here."

Yasmin said looking around.

"Is he single?"

Gage asked smirking.

"No, he's my husband."

Yasmin said smiling.

"You have Jason patiently waiting for you, you know."

She replied.

"I was kidding. I could never leave Jason. Oh how I missed him."

Gage said his voice fading as he recollected their memories.

"Go look for him. When you go up to him, say Cynthia Myles Reins."

Yasmin said.

"Got it."

Gage said as the song ended. Yasmin hated to see her brother go but she knew she had to complete this mission. Yasmin was smiling to herself as she turned around. She seemed to waltz go the bar and ordered a glass of rich red wine.

She wasn't paying attention to the details around her.

"A martini suites the occasion."

A very distinguished voice said as a martini appeared in front of her face. Yasmin looked up and smiled grabbing the drink.

"Well, hello Mr. Walberg."

Yasmin smirked.
