instances of such in the labs, but he hadn‟t believed it to be true. Circs purred when

content, and most of the rogues in Pearson Labs were anything but.

Hale sighed, his breath stirring McKinley‟s left nipple into a hard nub. Though the

desperation to claim Hale had faded, his arousal seemed to be rousing again. Amazed

that instead of an aching lust, he felt a sense of pride and tenderness toward Hale, once

again smaller than himself. McKinley didn‟t know what to think.

“We need to talk,” Hale murmured. His palm drifted over McKinley‟s broad

chest, and he toyed with one taut nipple.

Heat streaked through him. “So talk. And move your hand, while you‟re at it,” he

grumbled. Unless you want another load in that fine ass.

“Sorry.” Hale removed his hand as if burned. On a sigh, he tried to slide away.

“It‟s okay. Stay.” He hoped Hale wasn‟t looking at his face, because it felt hot.

Embarrassed that he wanted to maintain contact, McKinley wasn‟t sure how to act.

He‟d never in his life felt so confused about anyone, with the exception of Paige.

Hale settled back onto him but levered himself on his arms to look down. Their

gazes caught and held. “For someone so ugly, you make me awfully hard.”

Startled at the teasing note he hadn‟t expected to hear, McKinley grinned back.

“Back at ya, playboy.”

Hale frowned. “How did you know they call me that?”

And so the “honeymoon” ended. He groaned. “Maybe you‟d better get off me so

we can talk. Circ to Circ.” He coughed and reached for his jeans. “And maybe we‟d

better cover up.” Before I fuck you again.

“Good idea.” Hale flushed and turned away. He reached in a drawer and threw

on a pair of shorts.

Once standing and facing one another, McKinley started. “I‟ve been working for

Pearson Labs for three years.”

“Yeah, as Pearl‟s bodyguard.”

“That‟s what he thought.”

“Oh? Oh… So you‟re telling me you killed Pearl?”

McKinley scowled. “What the hell kind of leap in logic is that? No, I didn‟t kill

Pearl. I wish I knew who did. I‟d hang a fucking medal on him.” Or her. He thought of

Paige. “I work for someone else interested in what the labs are up to.”

“You‟re kidding. So you aren‟t one of Pearl‟s boys? But you‟re Circ. How do you

explain that?”

“I don‟t, not yet. Hell, even Paige doesn‟t know everything about me.” Even I don’t

know everything about me. Anytime he tried to remember, the headaches and the attacks

started.

“But you tried to kill me and Derrick. You threatened Sabrina.”
