With Tinsley’s assistance, we exited through the theater’s outside door, but stopped on the edge of the parking lot to survey the school and remaining vehicles. Two Prius, a Lexus, a newer model Dodge Ram pickup, a couple battered sedans, an old pickup, and a paneled van remained.

“If I were going to judge folks by their vehicles,” I folded my arms over my chest as a night breeze brushed over my skin, “I’d say that grouping of tired transit parked in the handicapped spaces belongs to the night cleaning crew.”

Luke nodded. “And I’d say one of the Prius belongs to Tinsley. Or maybe the Lexus.”

“So the green Prius, I’d guess is Dr. Vail’s. That is if she’s still here. That leaves the Ram and one other car.”

“I can run their plates,” said Luke.

“That’d be pretty cool if you did. One of them might be our flashlight stalker.”

“Or not,” said Luke. “There were more vehicles here when we arrived. They might have taken off. Or if it was a kid, they might have ridden here on a bike.”

“I’m not so sure if Peerless has the kind of students who ride bikes. Maybe a golf cart. Or a Bentley.” I rubbed the gooseflesh on my arms. “You’re being awful helpful.”

Luke rocked back on his boot heels. “I don’t want you to think I’m a total dick. And I do want to make it up to you.”

“And it helps that this isn’t your case.”

“This isn’t a case at all.” Luke grinned. “But yeah, it helps a lot, sugar. You’ve given me a couple ulcers in the past, but this here has been fun.”

“Are we friends now, Luke?” I swung my gaze up. And found myself centered within dusky gray eyes staring back at me.

“We’re trying, sugar,” he whispered. “But it’s real hard when you look at me that way.”

Shit. He was looking at me that way, too.

Thoughts of Tara, family feuds, and squirrels fled my brain. A rush of heat invaded every cell in my body like the rumbling of a volcano ready to erupt. I felt barely cognizant of strolling up to Luke, my hand reaching to brush his bruised cheek, and he capturing my hand to place his lips against my palm.

I pulled in a breath as his lips feathered from my palm to my wrist, and down my arm to the crook of my elbow. His eyes met mine and I caught the wicked glint of steel that doused me in more fire, until I couldn’t breathe. I realized I held my breath and let it out in one long rush as Luke hitched me against his body. His hard planes met my soft, slight curves. His lips fell over mine and set to plunder and invade my mouth.

I was the defenseless village to his barbarian horde. And I had thrown open the village gates to give a welcome party. One of my hands curled to fist his ripped t-shirt and the other tangled into his luscious, soft curls. Luke’s hands slid lower to hike me harder against his body.
