Chapter 8

“M mm. I thought I smelled coffee.”

Jeremy turned away from the bay window, where he’d been staring out at the forest, clearly lost in thought, and grinned at the sound of her voice. “You’re so easy, Torry,” he teased, those hazel eyes moving over her freshly scrubbed face in a slow, thorough look of male appreciation. “All it takes is the promise of a little caffeine, and you come running.”

“You’ve found my weakness,” she sighed, making him laugh as he moved to pour her a cup.

When she’d awakened, alone in the bed, she’d found three suitcases and four boxes full of her personal things stacked in a corner of the bedroom. Glad that her stuff had made it there so quickly, she’d pulled out a pair of faded jeans and a dark blue sweater, gotten dressed and decided to venture out of the bedroom. The smell of freshly brewed coffee coming from the kitchen had lured her like the promise of honey to a ravenous bear.

“You take cream and sugar?” he asked, glancing over his shoulder. Feeling chilled, she curled her sock-covered toes against the warm tiles of the kitchen floor. “A little of both would be great, please.”

“Ya know, I’m thinking I won’t mention this caffeine addiction of yours to Mason,” he told her as he pulled the cream out of the fridge. “Not that I don’t love him like a brother, but it’ll be more fun watching him figure out his way to your heart all on his own.”

Torrance winced at the mention of the man’s heart, thankful that Jeremy’s back was to her as he moved around the kitchen. She recalled all too clearly Mason’s earlier explanation of how things would work between them. He’d made it perfectly clear that he’d share his body…and nothing more.

God, she’d been so stupid.

If she’d listened to the voice of reason whispering in her head last night, she’d have realized that with such a powerful connection between them, she wouldn’t be able to separate her emotions from the physical hunger. Having his hands and mouth on her body had only intensified her feelings—and now her lust had already evolved into something deeper.

“Is he here?” she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral as Jeremy handed over a heavy mug and she took a seat at the table.

“Yeah, Mason’s in his office,” he told her, while he went about putting on a fresh pot of coffee, since they’d emptied the old one,

“checking to see if we’ve had any leads come in from Covington. We’ve got a whole network of informants who’re keeping an eye out for Simmons.”

She asked about the boy, and Jeremy filled her in while he finished with the coffee. “He’s been coming around slowly, so we’re keeping a close eye on him. Mason’s desperate as hell to get something out of the kid. Something that we can go on.” Taking in her troubled expression as he sat down across from her at the gleaming pine breakfast table, he sent her a gentle smile.
