Anger furled through my chest as I saw the stranger standing there interrogating my little girl.

“Fuck you!” Tiffany hissed, pointing her finger at the intruder. “Who are you to come in here and judge me?” She paused, looking the woman up and down, and for some reason, I had the impression that they knew one another, though I wasn’t sure why. “In fact, how are you here? I never pressed charges, so there can’t be an active police investigation.”

“That’s right, little girl.” I wandered farther into the room, holding the door frame. “There is no active police investigation.”

They both turned to me as I spoke, Tiffany’s eyes warm and grateful, while only horror resonated in the outsider’s gaze.

“Do you know this woman?” I asked, turning my attention to Tiffany.

“She was one of the police officers who handled my case when…” Tiffany’s words dried up, but her sheepish expression conveyed the end of her sentence. The intruder was in the police service and had worked on the case against me.

“So, you’re a cop?” My focus drilled into the woman who’d dared to break into my house. I knew the police were corrupt, but since when did they break and enter? The very least this bitch needed was a warrant and a damn good explanation, and frankly, even that might not be enough to placate me.

“That’s right.” She blew out a breath as if the confession had somehow saved her. “I’m with the police, and—”

“No.” Glaring at her, my jaw tensed as I ended whatever pointless defense she was about to attempt.

“No, what?” she countered, no doubt trying to recall her training as she assessed the size of me in front of her only usable exit. She’d already squeezed herself through one window, but she wouldn’t be fleeing Barrington House in the same way. Based on the fury swimming in my system, she might not be fleeing at all.

“You might be a cop, but I don’t think you’re with the police at all.” It was the only answer that made sense. Why would the police still be hunting me? They had nothing on me whatsoever.

“Master?” Confusion glimmered in the little girl’s eyes. “What do you mean?”

“Master?” The cop balked. “After what he did to you, how can you call him that by choice?”

“I have another question.” I’d heard just about enough of this shit. “Why the fuck are you in my house?”

“You didn’t let her in, Master?” Tiffany asked.

“No.” Beckoning my lover forward with one hand, I snaked my arm around her as she raced to meet me. “Whoever she is, she broke into the house via a bathroom window. I just watched her acrobatic performance on the C.C.T.V.”

“What?” Tiffany’s tone dripped with disdain. “You broke the law to gain entry?”

“I had no choice,” the cop argued. “I had reason to believe that you were hurt.”

“If that was true, you’d have a warrant.” Tiffany’s tone hardened, reminding me of the woman I’d seen in action in court. It was an unexpectedly alluring aspect of my little girl.
