Chapter Seven

Scarlett twisted amongst the sheets, her body pleasantly sore. She remembered last night and couldn’t help but smile. Never in her life had she experienced such equal measures of passion and pleasure. Bain had satisfied her in ways she never knew possible.

By the time she peeked open her eyes, she realized Bain was gone. A moment of panic settled in her gut. She rushed into a sitting position so fast, a wave of dizziness caught her off guard. “Bain!”

His large frame filled the doorway of the bathroom, a white towel around his waist and toothbrush in his mouth. “Yeah, babe?”

Her nerves eased the instant she saw him. The more she fell for Bain, the more she worried he’d be killed because of his line of work. She couldn’t lose him.

“Nothing.” She tugged the sheets up over her breasts. “Why are you up so early?”

“I have another job. It came in early, and I only have two days to prepare.” He disappeared back into the bathroom. She could hear the water flowing into the sink and then the clink of a razor against porcelain.

He was so casual about murder, but she knew he was a killer and still wanted him, so she couldn’t really complain. It just felt wrong. Scarlett wondered who the unlucky victim would be this time, and if he deserved what was coming to him or not.

Bain strode into the room, his rock-hard body not easy to ignore. She watched every muscle move and shift as he tugged on a pair of black jeans. He buttoned up and then sat on the edge of the bed with a fresh t-shirt in hand.

“There’s something we have to get done today,” he said. “This friend of yours, the one who knows you went to Semenov’s, I need her address.”

“What? No!”

He squeezed her thigh. “I didn’t say I was going to kill her. But she needs to be dealt with.”

“What does that mean, Bain? I told you I’d rather take her place if someone has to pay for something. She doesn’t deserve for anything bad to happen to her.”

“Look, my boss won’t stop until I clean shit up. I still don’t know what I’ll do about you, but I know for damn sure I can’t have that girl running her mouth,” he said. Bain slipped the t-shirt over his head, the cotton clinging to his muscles. “We need to find her so you can tell her you’re alive and well. Her life’s in your hands, so make sure you give her a convincing story. I need her to recant her police report.”

“I don’t need to give her a story. I want to be here. With you.” She touched his neck, tracing her finger along the intricate patterns. “If Lisa believes me, will everything be okay?”

“One thing at a time, sweetheart. You have fifteen minutes. I’ll be getting things ready downstairs.” He seemed all business again, the previous night’s vulnerabilities long forgotten. She didn’t want to lose that gentle side of him she was falling in love with.
