Chapter 11

Landon touched his mouth to hers. “Jadin.” He murmured it, giving her hand a tug until she rested more closely against his chin.

She shuddered as he leaned down, covering her mouth with his. Jadin moved her head, silently asking for more.

She turned her head toward his and he brushed light kisses against her jaw. When her weight shifted slightly, he let his hand slide to cradle her ribs intimately.

With his right arm, Landon pressed gently, until she turned into his body. His breath came out with a rush and he pulled her up, so she lay firmly atop him, his hand threading through her hair to hold her head in place while his tongue swept into her mouth.

Jadin felt her world suddenly spin out of control. Landon’s kiss was filled with burning passion, and she felt a tingling sensation run through her body. Heat spread through her whole body.

“I don’t want this night to ever end,” Landon whispered.

“There will be many more nights like this,” she assured him. “We have forever.”

“Jadin, I didn’t expect to see you,” Blaine said when he answered the door.

She entered the foyer. “There’s something...” Her voice died at the sight of the woman approaching them. Jadin initially thought she might be a relative, but the look the stranger had given her—she was pretty sure this woman did not share his DNA.

He looked at Jadin and said, “This is Sandra Davis. She was in town, heard about Millicent and came by to offer her condolences.”

She was at the funeral, Jadin thought silently.

“This is my attorney, Jadin DuGrandpre.”

Sandra blinked and then smiled but it did not reach her eyes. She extended her hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Jadin was not fooled at all by the gesture. Nevertheless, she shook Sandra’s hand. “Blaine, I have to get back to my office for a meeting. Can you come by around three o’clock? There’s something I need to discuss with you.”

“Sure, but we can talk now.”

She glanced over at Sandra. “It’s fine. I’ll see you at three.”

“I found the packaging the champagne came in,” Blaine said. “I’ll bring it with me.”

“I can take it now,” Jadin responded. “I can drop it off to the lab on the way back.”

Sandra suddenly appeared nervous. She shifted from one foot to the other. “What is she talking about?”

“Someone sent me a bottle of champagne the day my wife died.” He walked away, leaving the two women alone.

Jadin surveyed Sandra’s face. She thought she detected a flash of fear in her gaze.

“Why do you need that? What’s that got to do with his case?”

“It could be nothing, but I have to exhaust all avenues.”

Before Sandra could respond, Blaine returned. “Here you go.”

Reaching for the doorknob, Jadin said, “I’ll leave you with your guest.”

Sandra’s reaction became her focus as she drove back to her office. The woman looked as if she was trying to maintain her composure, but something had spooked Sandra.

Jadin found herself checking the clock often. She had believed Blaine when he told her that he ended his affair.
