Chapter Fourteen

He trailed one hand slowly along Jada’s naked side, then slid his palm across her abdomen. Her flesh was moist with perspiration. Her breathing was erratic, having only just climaxed moments earlier. Chandler kissed her bare shoulder and nestled his head against hers. He closed his eyes and savored the moment. It felt so right to be lying with her, their bodies naked and sated, the bed beneath his back, comfortable and surrounded with quiet peace.

His eyes jerked open. He couldn’t afford to let his guard down. Vampires weren’t known for their tender reveries. He heaved a long sigh. He wanted Jada for himself, but short of turning her, of making her a vampire and controlling her for his own selfish purposes, he saw no way of fulfilling his desires. Sooner or later, she would learn what he was—a creature of the night, undead, sharing little human emotions aside from the sex act.

“Were you careful when you broke into Collins’s office?”

The question caught him off guard. He separated his head from hers and stared at the side of her face. She had a most becoming profile. Her nose was perfectly proportioned for her face, her lips were plump, perfect for kissing, and her lashes were long and brushed her cheek when she closed her eyes.

He drew in a long breath. “As careful as any burglar, I suppose.” He caressed her abdomen, trailing his fingers up to her breasts. He cupped one mound, squeezing it gently before he inched his hand up to play with her nipple. Needing to distract her from the conversation she started, he slid one hand beneath her waist and pulled her body atop his.

A worried look claimed her features as she raised her head and looked down at him. “Did you destroy the office—I mean is it going to be obvious that there was a break in when Collins returns?”

He nodded his head, remembering the broken safe and the splintered desk drawer.

She shook her head and grimaced. “You better stay away from the club for a while.”

His brows drew together. “You have enough evidence to convict Collins. Arrest him and end the case, Jada.”

She bit her bottom lip. “It won’t be that simple.”

Chandler grasped Jada by the upper arms and pushed her to one side, levering himself up on the bed. “Explain that. I broke into that office in order to get you enough evidence to convict the crook so you could be done with your dangerous investigation. Now you tell me there’s more.” His eyes narrowed.

“Collins will be back in town Monday morning. I’ll have him arrested then and I’ll get a search warrant to look through everything else in his office.”

Monday morning? The words lodged in his brain.

“As soon as he’s taken into custody, my days as an exotic dancer are over.” She smiled at him. “But until then I have to be up on that stage, strutting my stuff, and pretending I like all the attention, and Mike has to play the role of bouncer, tossing out anyone that can’t behave.
