Ten

Back at his condo, Cam felt anxious and out of sorts.

Yara had barely spoken to him since they'd shared that scorching kiss in his office. He was second-guessing himself.

He'd spent weeks getting to know her ghost, and now he had the real thing. To him, she was an old friend. To her, he was a stranger. And yet she'd kissed him with just as much passion as he'd given.

That had to mean something.

The four of them had grabbed a bite to eat after working through the afternoon. Things were coming together for the case against Kaine. It was damning, enough to send to New York's district attorney. Yet, all of his victims, including Yara, wanted to stay out of the courts. Out of the papers. And Cam couldn't blame them, though he wished they'd change their minds. A guy like that deserved jail time.

If they couldn't put Kaine's feet to the fire outside the system, Cam would have to convince the women to come forward officially. For their sake, he hoped it didn't come to that. They'd all been through enough.

He and Yara were back on the floor in his living room.

She'd changed into Jo's yoga pants and had borrowed another one of his t-shirts, this time Interpol. The sight of her in his clothes, in his home, gave him dangerous ideas. He was a big part of why she was in this mess. He had no right to look at her, much less feel for her anything other than guilt. And a determination to do right by her.

And yet he couldn't get that kiss out of his head.

She'd burned him with it. He could still taste her on his tongue and fuck if he didn't want a whole lot more.

Cam had to scrub the memory of it out of his head. Of how she tasted and sounded. Of how she'd clung to him, all soft curves and scorching heat.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Spying a deck of cards on the side table, he grabbed them. Apparently, there had been nothing on TV, since Yara switched to a music channel. Reggae, sultry and smooth.

As if the air between them wasn't already too overcharged for comfort.

Cam was desperate for a distraction.

"Do you play?" He set the deck on the coffee table.

"Not really." She sat yoga-style, facing him.

He frowned. "Not even Blackjack?"

"Is that the one where you need to get twenty-one without going over?"

Cam grinned and opened the deck. "I knew you were a shark."

That earned him a small smile. Miracle of miracles. Yara was beautiful, but when she smiled, she took his breath away.

"Hardly. But go head. Deal."

He did, first shuffling the cards in a way people had always found impressive. Yara covered her mouth to stifle a yawn. Okay, then.

He dealt a hand and placed the deck on the table.

Yara slid her cards off the table and into a practiced hold. She barely glanced at them before holding them against her chest.

He tried hard not to follow the path of that hand, so close to her tempting flesh.
