CHAPTER

THIRTEEN

LAW HEARD THE ENGINE.

Vaguely.

But he tuned it out.

He was on a roll—the story was coming solid and strong. It hadn’t come like this in … weeks. Probably longer. Hope was somewhere working on whatever she was doing to make his life easier.

It wasn’t Lena, because she’d call first. It wasn’t Ezra, because he was with Lena and Lena would make him call first.

So, basically, it wasn’t anybody important.

That was all the information he needed to tune the world out as the story unfolded before him.

It was tricky, trying to talk the story free, instead of type it.

The damn voice-to-text software was a pain in the ass, even though he knew he needed to get used to it.

Still, today, for once, it was coming easier and he wasn’t about to stop. At least not until the low, throaty rumble of a motor drew closer, closer … closer.

A chill raced down his spine.

He tried to ignore it.

But as he went to talk out the next passage—it had just been in his head—the words froze in his throat and he found himself staring out the window.

He couldn’t see anything then.

Not a damn thing.

But still … he stared, waited, listened as the engine abruptly cut off.

Forty-five seconds later, there was a knock on the door.

Scowling, he saved and finagled the laptop off to the side, scowling at the cast that still immobilized his right forearm from just below the elbow. He shoved up out of the chair and was already halfway to the door when Hope appeared in the hallway.

“I got it,” he said.

She arched a brow at him.

“I’m supposed to be doing this sort of thing,” she reminded him.

He ignored her.

He needed to answer that door. In his gut, he knew it.

With a feeling that was a weird mix of both dread and jubilation, he turned the doorknob.

The door opened to reveal an Amazon. That was his very first thought.

His second thought was that he didn’t know how in the hell she’d ended up on his property, but he wanted to so he could send whoever a thank-you card.

Her eyes … Shit. Her eyes.

They were the palest shade of gold he’d ever seen, paler than whiskey, but just as potent, just as strong. Mysterious and beautiful.

They stared into his, revealing nothing.

Her skin was the color of coffee and cream, warm and smooth and delicious.

The leather jacket she wore seemed too damn warm for the weather they were having, but it suited her. Just like the plain black T-shirt suited her, just like the worn and faded jeans suited her.

He imagined black silk would suit her every bit as well. Black silk, pearls, red lipstick on that lush mouth. Or even nothing at all. Lust punched through him with a force that damn near leveled him.

She lifted a black brow at him.

Those lush lips parted and she said, “Are you Reilly? Law Reilly?”

Oh, shit. She was here looking for him.

Maybe fate had decided to smile on him.

He stepped aside and gestured her inside. “I am.
