Chapter 9

He’d had some great sex in his life, but nothing—nothing—compared to what he and Carrie had just shared. The deep vulnerability she brought to his bed, her genuine surprise, and then that shattering explosion of joy from her had brought a level of emotion to the lovemaking that he’d never experienced before. It was a revelation. And here he thought he knew a lot about sex. Hah! Turned out he knew zilch about making love. Until now.

“I beg your pardon?” Carrie stammered up at him.

“Your name. Your real name. If you’re willing to share your body with me, willing to let me see inside your soul, and willing to make love with me like that, the least you can do is let me know your name.”

“My name is Carrie Price. Carrie Ann Price.”

“So you legally changed it, then? From what? What name were you born with?”

She shook her head, looking panicked that he would force her to tell him.

He spoke more aggressively. “You’re a suspect in a criminal investigation. You need to answer my question.”

“So this is an official conversation, then?”

He nodded grimly, once, just the tiniest dip of his chin.

“Then you should probably not be in bed with me. Unless of course, it’s standard police interrogation procedure to have sex with the people you’re questioning.”

Dammit. Her tart words stung with barbed truth.

She frowned and pushed at his shoulders. He propped himself up on his elbows to stare down at her earnestly, but he didn’t release her lower body from beneath his. She didn’t get to evade the question or run away from him this time like she had every time he’d brought up her past so far. He was being an ass, but he couldn’t help it. He was so damned frustrated that she wouldn’t tell him something as simple as her real name.

“Look, Bass. I have a past, and I want to keep it in the past. I swear I’m not a criminal and I’ve broken no laws. If you want to be with me, the deal is you have to accept me for who I am now and move forward.”

She didn’t trust him. The realization was a cold bucket of water on his libido and he rolled away from her and sat up. An urge to swear and throw something came over him. What the hell was it going to take to get through to her? If she wouldn’t tell him herself, he was going to find out some other way.

He muttered, “I’m going to go check in with the guys.” He got out of bed and went hunting for his clothes. “I want to see if they found any tracks for the guy in the tree outside your room.” He jerked on his jeans and bent down to tie his shoes. “Stay here. My room faces the courtyard, and I’ve got two guys sitting down there on watch. No one’s coming in through my window to get you.”

He yanked on a T-shirt and left without a backward glance, grabbing his laptop off the desk by the door on his way out.
