Chapter 10

As evening fell Dora found herself restlessly pacing from the kitchen to the living room and back again. Would Mark stop by to see her tonight or wouldn’t he? Would the stalker from the night before once again show up to terrorize her?

Agent Larry Albright had called her earlier to let her know that they’d made arrangements with campus security to keep an eye out for her and had also arranged for hourly drive-bys throughout the night by the Vengeance Police Department.

She should be safe, but that didn’t stop the edginess that kept her from completely relaxing, the tension that rode her shoulders like a wild cowboy she couldn’t throw off.

By the time eight o’clock came and went she considered changing out of her jeans and sweater and into her nightgown. Before she could put the action to her thoughts, a soft knock sounded on her door and she peeked out the window to see Mark standing on her porch.

The tension fluttered out of her, replaced by a simmering excitement. She opened the door and he gave her the sexy grin that moved her, that thrilled her.

As he stepped inside she closed the door and immediately moved to stand against his body. She closed her eyes the instant his arms wrapped around her. “I wasn’t sure I’d see you tonight,” she said, her face nuzzled into the crook of his neck.

“It’s been a busy day,” he replied.

“Coffee?” she asked. “I already made it.”

“I’m good right here,” he said, not releasing her from his embrace. “But, coffee is probably a better idea for us.” He dropped his arms from around her and stepped back, his eyes midnight-blue. “I want to play by your rules, Dora, but when you let me hold you, it’s hard to remember the rules.”

“Maybe I’ve been reconsidering my rules,” she said, her voice surprisingly breathy to her own ears.

His eyes flared a bit but he remained in place and stuffed his hands in the pockets of the dark windbreaker with the bright yellow FBI letters on the back and front. “Several of the men searched Troy Young’s outbuildings today and found a pair of shoes that appear to have the same kind of soil as the place where the murdered men were buried. I doubt I’ll make it to homecoming.”

“Then I think maybe we should take advantage of what time you have left here in Vengeance,” she replied. She stepped closer to him once again, so close she could feel the warmth of his breath on her face, see the desire that darkened his eyes. “I want you, Mark. I know you won’t be here for much longer. I’m not looking for a forever, but I’d like one night with you, a sweet memory to hold tight to when you’re gone.”

“I swore to myself that I was going to stay away from you, that there was no point in continuing having coffee and conversation with you when I wanted so much more. I swore that I wasn’t going to be here tonight and yet here I am.
