Chapter 10

Ty opened his eyes. Something had woken him.

A moan? A scream? Had it been Jordan?

A jab powered into his ribs. Grunting, he rolled to the edge of the bed and sat up. Damn, her elbow worked better than an alarm clock. Amused, he watched her toss around.

The woman slept like a cyclone, twisting and turning all over the bed. He considered waking her, but when he held down her flailing arm and kissed her shoulder, she rolled over and became quiet.

He chuckled.

A light from the parking lot glowed through the mini blinds, illuminating the bedroom. Jordan’s bare, sleek back rose and fell as she took long, deep breaths. She was seductive even in sleep. His gaze traveled over her from the top of her blond hair down to the perfectly rounded bottom only half covered with the sheet.

A foreign pulse of emotion sizzled like a power surge. Possession, need and, if he was being honest, a good healthy dose of guilt, rose up out of nowhere.

She’d given herself to him when they’d made love, in ways he didn’t expect. He knew she’d done it, seen the passion on her face, felt the surrender in the tears that almost choked her. He’d wanted more than sex, demanded it.

He closed his eyes, remembering how they’d reached for one another a second time in the darkness. The memory of her rising above him, taking him in, moving in a seductive rhythm while white slashes of light from the blinds fell across her naked body was a vision seared into his brain.

She’d given him what he’d asked for, a real piece of herself.

His eyes opened. And how had he repaid her? By hiding the truth. By hiding the real reason he wanted Buck behind bars.

He would tell her all of it, but not yet. Already she’d accused him of being too personally involved, and she didn’t know the half of it. If he confessed, she’d never agree to work with him, and she was damn well going to work with him. He’d sooner open fire on the whole strip club than allow her to set foot in that dive without him. But that probably wasn’t a smart thing to admit.

The clock read 6:17 a.m. A trip to the bathroom was in order, just in case her next jab was lower and more on point toward his bladder.

When he turned the water on to wash his hands, he heard the scream. Sprinting back to the bed, he found Jordan apparently in the grip of a nightmare.

She sobbed and cried out. Most of the sounds were unintelligible half words and sickly terrified moans, but he thought he caught the name “Katy.”

“Jordan? Jordan, wake up.” His instinct was to grab her and hold her, but the last time he restrained her hadn’t gone well. He picked up just one hand and squeezed. “Jordan?”

In one quick, sweeping motion she woke, sat up, and scurried off the bed. Backing into a corner, she slumped to the floor like a cornered animal.
