Chapter Eighteen

In Celina’s top ten nightmares, she never imagined anything as horrifying as spending the night in a hotel with Chief Eugene Forester. Still dressed in Sara’s clothes, she sat on the single king-size bed and wondered if things could get much worse.

Celina had insisted on staying in Carlsbad. Forester had insisted on driving her to the hotel. All through L.A., he’d swerved and sworn and Celina had held on to the Jesus handle in the Taurus rental as if her life depended on it. She wondered how her security tail managed to keep up with them. To make matters worse, Forester wouldn’t let her sit in the car while he picked up the key cards at the front desk for the room reserved for them. He’d insisted Celina never be out of his sight, even though her security guards were sitting directly beside them in the hotel parking lot.

She tried unsuccessfully to convince the chief to get two separate rooms, but he wouldn’t cooperate. It wouldn’t have mattered; the hotel was booked with the exception of one room—a single, king-size bed with not even a pullout couch. Celina sat on the bed now debating the merits of sleeping in the straight back desk chair or the bathtub.

Sleeping outside with the security guys held more appeal.

What she really wanted was to sleep with Cooper. He was outside the hotel somewhere; she could feel it. He’d told her he was going to the Carlsbad satellite office to catch up on paperwork and assign the team members he could spare to follow up on the hotline calls, but that wasn’t all he was up to. Like he’d told Forester, he was assuming the position of bodyguard. He might have been out of sight, but he was keeping close tabs on her as he lay in wait for Emilio.
