I flipped my pillow and punched it, trying to get comfortable. I had the air conditioning cranked up so high the window unit rattled with the force of the fan. But even that annoying sound didn’t distract me. I couldn’t sleep. Not because it was hot even at night, which it was. Not because I was obsessing about the missing persons case, which I was. Because of Laura.

I couldn’t sleep because of her.

She’d been an asset to the department so far. All indications pointed to her being a good hire here for the long haul. She was nice to Mrs. Rook, and she joked around with the other cops. In fact, she fit right in like she’d always been there. Like she was where she belonged. It felt that way, which was part of the problem.

Because when I looked at her, when I made her laugh, all I thought was Where have you been? I’d been looking for her in a thousand different faces for years, it felt like. She’d finally arrived. She had come back home where she belonged, and instantly, I had felt that click of recognition, of something sliding into place so that all the pieces fit.

It was madness. I’d been watching too much TV or something. There was no such thing as my missing puzzle piece or a soul mate or any of that crap that companies used to sell flowers and diamonds and greeting cards. It was nonsense, all of it. So I had to quit letting my thoughts go in that direction.

I’d known her a long time, or not really known her well, but I’d been around her when she was growing up. She was so much younger that I hadn’t had that much to do with her. She was Damon’s baby sister, so of course I teased her and gave her crap the same way I did with him. Except I wouldn’t call it the same at all. Not when I was torturing myself over her body and her laugh and her eyes.

She’d gotten quick results on the cell phone using her network of contacts from Charleston. Usually if I needed tech analyzed, I had to wait around till the state police got their thumbs out of their ass and decided to check it out. Small town precincts were low on the list, so it could be weeks. But Laura had managed to pull it off in mere days. She was so smart and resourceful and hilarious. Her irreverence made the job easier to take. Just being around her made everything feel easier. Talking to her was natural, and the banter, the kidding around made me feel energized, excited to see her again, hear what she had to say. She was always surprising me, and it made me want to get up in the morning. I never knew what was gonna come out of her mouth—it could be brilliant or disgusting or incredibly compassionate. No matter what it was, I couldn’t wait.

When she’d said sometimes the anticipation was the best part, that went straight to my cock.
