Jayda gulped down her wine, the alcohol scalding the back of her throat in the process.

Just desserts.

As soon as she’d said those five needy words, she regretted them. Words like that defined a person, and they weren’t her. This wasn’t her. She was a homicide detective hunting a killer. Now was the worst possible time for her defences to crumble. She’d already had one lapse of control for the evening. The last thing she needed was another. She pushed up from the couch. ‘So, let’s see if my theory on the key holds up.’

Grabbing it and her laptop, she sank back into the couch, balancing the key on the computer just below the screen. Her fingers raced over the keyboard without waiting for Seth to comment or offer input.

He did, regardless. ‘It’s from a security deposit box.’

Pine filled her nostrils and the cushion beside her dipped. He made himself comfortable, too close for sensible thought. Heat scampered across the side of her body adjacent to his, their thighs so close nothing more than a cat’s whisker separated them.

She riveted her eyes to the screen. ‘You got part A of a two part question right, Einstein. Now for part B. A security deposit box from where?’

He took the key and turned it in his hands. ‘It could be from anywhere.’ His breath fanned her hair and she fought the urge to turn, to bring her lips in line with his.

‘Not just anywhere. Here.’ She turned the screen, so he could see better, so he didn’t have to lean further in and send her body’s already screaming senses into hyperventilation.

‘Black Keys Security? You know this, how?’

‘The colour of the key, along with its size and shape. When Dad was undercover we used a deposit box there as a means to get messages to him safely. And once he returned home, he decided to keep it for a bit of fun, every once in a while leaving little notes and surprises for Bec and me to find.’

The memory thickened her throat. She swallowed. Focused on the blinking cursor in the middle of the screen.

‘There must be other places that use black keys.’

‘Perhaps. But I’ve a hunch this is the place.’

She turned. So close she could see silver lights shimmer in his irises. Her lips parted, tingled. Closer. She wavered, he moved in.

Her head jerked back and she averted her gaze to stare once again at the computer screen. ‘I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.’

‘You have Bec’s funeral.’

His mouth was still so close. So reachable.

‘In the morning. Our afternoon is free.’ She moved off the couch, out of his heat, and set her computer aside. ‘Now we only have two things left to figure out.’

His brow arched, dragging her mind back to their initial meeting and the bad-boy look that had her hooked from that very first moment.

She swallowed. ‘What’s for dessert and where is Madden’s child now.’
