Chapter Fifteen

Brandi stretched before she opened her eyes. The chase at the mall flashed before her, and she grabbed the cover wanting to hide under it. By the time Jabari got her to the car, she was so tired it was hard to stay awake. Every bit of reserve she had was drained. Was it the running through the mall or the fear that did it to her? Whatever it was she passed out when she hit the seat.

How long had she been asleep?

“Hi, Fie.” She turned a little and rubbed him. He looked up at her with his big blue eyes. “You saved me. Thank you.”

She held him close giving him rubs as she breathed deeply, thankful for another day to live.

“Let’s go find Jabari.” She shook her head again. It sounded like he was telling her to look in the den. Impossible.

She got up to find she was wearing her shirt but not her pants. There was a pair of slippers by the bed. She slid her feet into them and went to the Den. Jabari was sitting at the computer.

“Hi, sorry I fell asleep on you.”

He looked up and gave her a smile. Her heart beats tripled. His blue eyes were warm and welcoming. His smile tilted a crooked edge that was so sexy she wanted to melt on the spot.

“What are you doing?”

“Research.” He pushed the chair back and gestured for her to get closer. Then he pulled her down on his lap before getting closer to his laptop.

“Do you know this is?”

“That’s Gerald Cox. I only know who he is because he used to represent my client. The actress I’m making the dress for.” He was running his hand down the side of her arm making her warm.

“Does he have a reason to want to harm you?”

“No, maybe, kind of.”

“What happened?”

“Piper took a trip to LA; she asked me to come along. It was business for her, but after that, we were going to make it a mini-vacation. One day while she was at a conference, I went to lunch and ran into a woman in the bathroom. She was giving herself a pep talk through her tears.” She twisted uncomfortably.

“I don’t just get into peoples business, but she reminded me of myself. So, I asked her what was wrong. I was in the right place. She was an aspiring actress with an agent who was treating her poorly. Demanding things he had no right to. He told her she would never make it, and all the other thing's men say when they don’t get what they want. I may have suggested she drop him. Do it on her own until she could find a better agent.

“That’s what she did. It probably wouldn’t have been a blip on his radar, except she got the leading role in a film. Now she’s Hollywood’s darling, and he has nothing. He deserves nothing.” She shrugged her shoulders. “I’m not sad. Why are you asking?”

“He hired the Xandarian to kill you.
