Chapter 9

Still rattled from the kiss Drury stole from him, Brycen gladly alighted from DAI’s helicopter. It had started to snow, falling lightly now, but the forecast said it would pick up by noon. The helicopter pilot had warned them they’d have to get back before then.

Drury kept smiling at him all the way here. This morning. In the helicopter. Her sparkling blue eyes held a knowing, intimate light. She haunted him. He wondered if he overreacted to a kiss. Ridiculous that he should feel threatened by Drury, her mouth, her softness. But she did do that to him. Her lifestyle and her beliefs didn’t match his. She had a son. And she lived in Alaska. He swore he’d never come back here, that he’d move forward and live a life of abundance away from bad memories and people who despised him. And yet here he was, back in Alaska, reminded of bad memories, facing people who despised him. He wished he could resolve the latter, but Kayla’s family would never let him. Part of Kayla’s death would stay with him always, but he had succeeded in moving forward—up until now.

He felt in danger of being drawn back to Alaska, through a beautiful woman who fit him more than he’d like to accept right now.

Her mouth touching his, her hands gliding up his chest and around his neck, breasts pressing to him, thighs against him, replayed for his pleasure as he walked toward the Cummingses’ home. She had tasted him in sultry urgency. He’d wanted to lift her and put her on the passenger seat and take her right there. He’d imagined it. He imagined it now, removing her pants and opening her just for him.

He didn’t think she’d been prepared for the Kelvin scale heat they generated. She’d taken hold of his jacket as though to remove it and looked up at him in a daze. Both of them had lost their breath. He met her passionate face and barely managed to heed their location—in public. He could take her to the back of the SUV...

He imagined what that would have been like. The windows were tinted. He could start the engine to keep it warm inside—not that they’d have needed heat. They could have gotten completely naked. He could only imagine what she looked like without clothes. Stunning. Soft. Wet for him...

“You going in or what?”

He snapped out of that hot dream and realized he’d come to a stop at the door. Drury had knocked and rung the bell. No one was home. He turned the doorknob. It was unlocked. No one locked their doors here. And Melvin must not fear anything if he still left it unlocked. He went inside. Much of the place was similar to the last time they’d been here. He did a quick search, finding Evette’s purse in the same place as before.

She hadn’t been home at all. Ignoring that bad sign, he left the bedroom and looked for anything they might have missed.
