*****

If kissing Megan had been stupid, making love to her was suicidal. It should have been sex, plain and simple. Hot and sweet, making a nice memory and spicing his anticipation for next time, even if the woman with her legs wrapped around him was a different one. No matter how good the sex, that's the way it had always been.

Instead, Mac felt sick with a hunger to hold her more tightly. He lay there across her big bed with Megan's head on his shoulder and his arms around her. His skin was cooling except where it touched her. He closed his eyes and pressed his cheek against the thick silk of her hair, trying to make himself face tonight's finality. She was supposed to go one way tomorrow, he another. It was pretty damned unlikely that they'd ever find themselves in the same bed again. What was he going to do, take two weeks of vacation next summer to see if she wanted to take up where they'd left off?

Assuming he was alive—and that she was alive. If she had to hide only for a matter of days, he was confident she wouldn't be found. But what if this thing dragged on? What if weeks passed, months? Sooner or later she would use her bank card, charge something on a credit card. She'd get homesick and call her mother. She'd start forgetting tonight's terrifying events and convince herself it had really been him they'd been after. And then she'd come home. Maybe by then they wouldn't care about her, but Mac didn't believe it. A professional killer was professional because he almost never screwed up, and when he did he cleaned up after himself. Megan was a little mud on the carpet that wouldn't be tolerated.

What if she died? Died because of him? A detached part of Mac was staggered by his own emotional response. He wanted to believe that he just couldn't face the fact that she might suffer more because of him. Gut-level honesty forced him to look at the truth: He needed her. He could no longer imagine life without her.

She murmured something and shifted, not away but closer. Just like that, he wanted her again. Mac was smart enough to know his reaction wasn't totally sexual. She was his, all his, when he was buried inside her.

He swore silently. He had never wanted to kill, even though he'd done it. But tonight he would have given his right arm for both men to die. Then Megan, at least, would have been freed from this nightmare. Dead men don't care about witnesses.

There was no way he was going to let her go tomorrow. The certainty hit him as hard as a slug from a .44 Magnum. He immediately tried to justify it. The least he could do was see her settled somewhere, make damned sure the bastard who'd escaped tonight hadn't made a quick enough recovery to follow her.

He owed her. Mac didn't want to think about love.
