“I’m sure she texted him the moment we left the room,” Shane said.

“That slimy bastard is going to wish he’d never met Grace Rowland when I get done with him.”

“Cassidy—” Shane started. She ignored what she knew was coming.

Jax cut him off when she realized she didn’t have her cell phone. “Would you call Naomi and get an address on LeVech?”

“Why don’t you let me take care of LeVech?”

Vehemently she shook her head. “No way. I want a crack at him.”

“I think it would be better for everyone if you chilled out.”

Jax abruptly stopped and turned to face him. “I don’t need to chill.”

“Have you taken a look at yourself, Cassidy?” Shane asked. “You look like a hype who’s seen better days. You can’t go anywhere looking like you do. Not to mention you seem to have some personal vendetta LeVech.”

“Vendetta aside, Shane, I’m going.” She turned on her heels and strode past him.

Shane grabbed her arm. The touch startled her. She whirled around and shoved him away. The velocity of her move sent him sprawling onto his ass.

“Jesus Christ, Cassidy!” Shane bellowed. He lay spread-eagled a good ten feet away from her on the asphalt. His stunned face looked up to her. What had she just done?

She strode up and stood over him, so ramped up on the continued surge of adrenaline that she could barely keep her feet planted. “Don’t touch me. Not when—not when I’m unprepared for it. Not when you’re angry.” Jesus. What was wrong with her? He wasn’t Montes, he was Shane, her partner.

She reached down to offer him a hand up, but he shook his head and managed without her assistance. As he brushed himself off, he gave her a sideways glance. “I thought you were over that.”

“I am!”

“Then what’s gotten into you tonight, Cassidy?” he softly demanded.

Jax shook her head. She knew, but she didn’t want to go there. Didn’t want to think about it. For once, the least threatening option to occupy her thoughts was Cross.

Cross. He was the reason she was so off balance. She felt out of sorts, not herself, but better than herself. Supercharged. She ran her finger through her hair, securing the errant locks behind her ear. And there was the vampire thing.

“Cross has me rattled,” she said, hoping to steer him away from her behavior. It worked.

Shane smoothed down his suit jacket and said, “The whole vampire thing is unbelievable.”

“No shit.” Jax struggled with the unbelievable factor herself and what she had witnessed with her own two eyes. This entire mission was taking on an entirely different dimension from what they had anticipated. Cross a vampire. She still couldn’t believe it—what Cross did tonight. He had saved her life.

“You’ve been through a lot tonight. Go back to your hotel room, Cassidy,” Shane said, looking over at her. “I’ll pay LeVech a visit and find out who’s been taking pictures of him and Grace Rowland.”

Jax stopped abruptly and shook her head. “I want to kick his ass.”

Shane laughed, easing some of the tension.
