Months had begun to pass but it didn't make for enough physical evidence yet I was in control of my entire investigation due to me being the Special Agent in Charge.

The only problem was my Administrator. She was a pain in the ass. Always wanted to rush time.

It was the main reason we always bumped heads when it came down to me and my agents. But, my conviction rate spoke for itself so she knew to stay the hell out of my way.

This time was different though. It was strange, she always kept her eyes glued to every last one of my investigations but this time she let me roll dirty, on my own with no backup.

It was dangerous yet beautiful. No one could blow my cover.

The best part was I was getting closer to Isabel which led to me gaining more leverage and rank within the cartel. Which meant soon I would have my hands on a hell of a lot of incriminating evidence and once that moment hit that meant I would have a sure conviction.

Isabel had begun looking at me as a daughter. That fact itself had opened her emotions up and let her guard completely down.

"You always up this late, salvaje fuego?" I heard a voice say causing me to turn around seeing the man standing in the dark corner of the roof terrace

(wildfire)

Damn, he's good.

No one had ever snuck up on me without getting caught.

"When I want to. You?" I replied vaguely turning back toward the blinding night lights of Mexico City

"When I want to." He replied snidely

'What was behind those black eyes?' was all I could think while I cracked a smile at his response before turning him out and continuing to listen to my music that played aloud.

'Broken hearts are made for two'

'One for me and one for you'

'Tell me have you heard the news'

'We are now in love'

'So I guess that I should mention'

'That I am in no condition'

'To put you in this position'

'I might fuck this up'

'But whatever the case, you're my favorite mistake...'

"Why are you still here, Armando?" I asked still sensing his presence as I lit a recently rolled joint and brought it to my lips

Another great thing about undercover work was the fact that my drug test wouldn't be counted against me since I was protecting my cover.

"...Because I don't put any fear in you...and it intrigues me." He spoke up after a long pause

"I'm not one of the coños that work for you; That's why," I replied as I blew smoke from my lips

(pussies)

"Why don't you come and work with me then?" Armando asked as I felt his body heat radiating next to mine

"You're a one-man show. You don't need me. Isabel would've assigned me to you if she felt you needed me." I answered after taking a sip of my drink and turning to see he was now standing next to me

"Eso es lo que me gusta de ti. Dirigen el negocio igual que mi madre. Sin tonterías. Me vendría bien una mujer como tú a mi lado." He says

(that's what i like about you. you handle business just like my mother. no bullshit's involved. i could use a woman like you by my side.)

"Careful what you wish for..." I rebutted still not paying him too much attention

"You always been this stubborn?" A low chuckle following his inquiry

"It's a turnoff, isn't it? A beautiful woman going against a man's request. Don't take it personally. I turn down every man's requests." I retorted teasingly as I smiled turning my back to the city to face him

Armando just placed his forearms on the concrete ledge I sat on taking in the view before saying, "No, not at all. It actually makes me more fond of you."

I smirked to myself as I looked to my side this time catching his gaze.

"How'd you get that scar on your bicep?" He asked with his eyes never leaving mine

"Knife fight. How'd you get the bruised knuckles?" I asked not backing down from the intense eye contact we held

I had noticed his knuckles a while back I just had to let him know he wasn't the only attentive one.

"No me gusta la gente que habla demasiado." He answered simply

(i don't like people who talk too fucking much.)

"But, you're sitting here talking to me?" I rebutted as I lifted myself from the ledge now standing a few inches below him with his eyes still on me

"I think I can settle with you having a big mouth."

I couldn't help but smile. Most people would be terrified by a cartel leader's heir flirting with them. Not me, I was now intrigued.

"Then, maybe I could take you up on that offer," I said as I grabbed my phone beginning to walk off

"Mi mamá cree que podrías ser la mujer perfecta para mí, Simone. Demuéstrame que estoy equivocado." He stated, stopping me in my tracks.

(My mom thinks you could be the perfect woman for me, Simone. Prove me wrong.)

"You don't even believe yourself when you say you want me to prove you wrong, Armando," I replied with my tone as conceited as my aura

I didn't even turn back to face him. I just continued walking into the mansion's stairwell.

This is the longest conversation me and him had ever had; Why was it so compelling? And, why did my name sound so good rolling off of his tongue? Oh, yeah, and why was he so handsome?

He was trouble and that was a big problem for me, simply because I love trouble.

It made my dopamine levels spike.
