Forty-eight hours after she’d first noticed the symptoms, Eve stretched her arms above her head with a soft sigh. “It’s almost over,” she said.

“Happy to be rid of the mindless lust?” I suspected she was, because I was fucking relieved. As much as I had valued Eve choosing me to get her through her heat, and as much as I had loved getting to fuck her hour after hour until we were both spent, I was ready to watch out for Bull and his men myself, without having to rely on my team.

“I’m relieved to be able to think clearly again, but I did thoroughly enjoy this.”

I’d thought she felt that way, but it was nice to hear her say it out loud. “Me too.” I inhaled her scent. Our scents were now intertwined, mixed together after her heat. My bear really liked that.

“Now that I’m not incoherent, I need to check in with work. Do you have a burner phone?”

Back to the real world. “Yeah. I’ll get you one.” I didn’t stop myself from appreciating the view as she let the sheet slide down around her waist. I could look at her bare breasts forever.

“Thanks. Luckily, I have my boss’s cell memorized; I’ve dialed it from the office landline plenty of times.”

I pulled a new phone from the safe and handed it to Eve. All of my team kept three spare phones stored at all times, as well as a packed ‘go bag’ and extra cash. Eve gave me one last kiss and pulled on one of my sweatshirts. While Eve stepped into the kitchen to call her boss, I stripped the sheets off the bed and picked up the pillows we’d managed to fling around the room.

Eve returned within minutes. She stood in the doorway. Her bright green eyes clouded over. Her mouth was in a flat line.

“Eve.” I grabbed her shoulders. “What is it?”

“I talked to my boss,” she said, with zero inflection.

What the hell had happened to make her lovely voice a monotone? “And?” I asked.

She rubbed both hands over her face a few times before speaking. “The bastards burned my house to the ground.”

Fuck. Bull had moved fast -- faster than I’d expected. He obviously was still calling the shots. Had he been trying to harm Eve with the fire, or just send her a message?

“He was supposed to be in isolation at the jail. No communication other than his attorney,” she said. She leaned against the doorframe and dropped her eyes to the floor.

“There are probably guards on the inside.” I wanted to head down there immediately and start interrogating witnesses. And by interrogate, I meant kill. “I’ll call the fire chief. See if they have any evidence.”

“Thank you.” She lifted her eyes back up to meet mine. They were still dull, lacking the bright green sparkle I had come to look for. “I saved up for that house. I bought it a year after I got my job.” She sighed. “My boss said it’s a total loss.
