CHAPTER TWENTY

AT TEN THE FOLLOWING MORNING, Mark hung up the phone. The DNA results were conclusive. There was a ninety-nine point nine percent likelihood that the bones were Angela Caruthers. He was scheduled to interview Jack at eleven thirty.

He looked back at the bed, where Libby lay sleeping. Sunlight spilled in from the east-facing window, giving her skin a golden glow. He hadn’t wanted to rush this, their first morning together, but he didn’t have a choice.

He slid back in bed next to her and gathered her in his arms. She opened her eyes. “’Bout time you woke up, lazybones,” he said.

“Good morning,” she said with a sleep-saturated smile. She ran a fingertip along the edge of his pectoral muscle. “You look delicious.”

“That’s ’cause I got laid last night.” He nipped her neck and worked his way to her earlobe. “How ’bout you? Do you always look this good in the morning?”

“No. My skin has a four-orgasm glow today.”

“Only four? I’m going to have to work harder.” He reached into the nightstand and grabbed a condom.

He made love to her slowly, silently, her gasps of pleasure as he woke her body and mind the only sound in the room. He was ass over teakettle crazy for this woman. And it wasn’t the sex—although that was nothing short of spectacular—it was Libby and her intelligent eyes, her forthright manner, her passion for her work, her courage in her convictions, and, of course, her sexy underwear.

He’d failed her last night. He’d left her in jeopardy and she could have paid for his mistake with her life. He didn’t know if he would ever be able to forgive himself.

His mouth captured the sounds of her coming as her body shuddered in climax. His orgasm followed. An intense wave of pleasure, his relief was both physical and emotional.

Afterward, they lay in a spooning position while his hand stroked along her hip. “I have to leave for work soon.”

“I should get some work done today, too. But frankly, I don’t even care about the project at the moment.” She rolled over and faced him. “I wish we could just pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist.”

“You can. Stay here today. Get some rest,” he grinned, “because when I get home, you’re going to need your energy.” He slid his fingers through her hair, and then tightened his grip and pulled her to him for a deep—but too-brief—kiss. “I’ll try to be back by six. I’m taking tomorrow off. Sunday, too, if I can.”

“If I’m going to take the weekend off, I’d better work today. I’ve got a report to write, interviews to transcribe. Can you drop me at Simone’s so I can get the Suburban?”

“Sure. We’ve got twenty minutes to get ready.”

She climbed out of bed. “Shower with me?”

“And another wish comes true.” He followed her into the bathroom.

“You saw another shooting star last night?”

“No, I held one in my arms.”

She stopped and faced him. “You better watch it. You say things like that and I’m going to fall in love with you.
