Chapter Thirteen

Jasmine opened the hotel room door. Jared had reserved only one room, with one king sized bed. The hotel was sold out because Kansas City’s professional football and baseball teams both had home games; otherwise, she would have gotten them transferred to a twin room. Chad had been quiet on the drive. It wasn’t a moody silence, more reflective than anything. She’d listened to music the entire way. Her kind of music, not his. He never said a word, just stared out the side window.

In the room, he placed both of their bags on the faux leather bench at the end of the bed and shrugged, cracking his neck in the process. “I’m going to go shower.” He turned and grabbed his bag and shut the door to the bathroom two steps later.

Jasmine took off her jacket and her weapons. She put the guns on the nightstand beside her credentials, cuffs, and knives. With all the hardware off, she stretched and groaned with the pull. She reached for her cell phone and double checked the door was dead bolted and the privacy bar was engaged.

The shower came on as she dialed. “You’re late,” Jared’s voice rumbled in her ear.

“You know why. Did the team pick up the fan mail?”

“Yeah, I had to pull assets off other events, but we are starting to go through it.”

“What the hell is with this room?” She flopped onto the bed and gazed unseeingly at the popcorn ceiling.

“What’s the problem? One room, two beds. Deal with it, Jazz.”

“One room, one bed, Jared.”

“I reserved two queens.”

“I got one king.”

“Okay… so make a pillow wall and tell that son of a bitch if he touches you, he’s dog meat.”

Jasmine giggled at that. “What if I want him to touch me?” She waited for several long minutes before Jared answered.

“Jasmine, do not compromise your objectivity.”

She could image the face he was making. By the sound of his voice, his teeth were clenched, and he was trying desperately not to go off. She wondered if his face was as red as the day Jade had taken his motorcycle and crashed it when they were growing up.

“He’s not involved in these murders. You know it, and so do I.”

“Even if I make that claim, he’s still in danger, and you need to keep your head out of the clouds and keep your eyes open. You can’t do that if you are involved with this man.”

“So you’re telling me you can’t take care of Christian?” Jasmine had no idea if she was going to act on her feelings. Hell, she had no idea if Chad was going to make a move, but she’d be damned if she’d let her brother treat her like a fourteen-year-old girl on her first date.

“That’s different.”

“And that’s bullshit! It isn’t any different. Tell you what, Jared, why don’t you pull your head out of your ass and ask yourself if you’d say that to any other operative, or if it’s just me you’re treating like a child.
