Chapter Seven

The shock of that took her breath. She had had no idea where his questions had been leading. No idea that Rob believed a woman was mixed up in what had happened.

Maybe that’s why he had sent her out here. Not to jar Nick Deandro’s memory, as he had told her, but as a test of some kind. An attempt, if he believed she was involved, to entrap her.

If that were the case, then Nick wasn’t the victim of this charade. She was. Victim. Suspect. Did they both think she had had something to do with the hit? Not professional, Nick had said. Not the usual mob mechanic.

She understood now that he was probably right about that. Only, he was terribly wrong about the rest of it. About her role in what had happened to him. “You’re wrong,” she said.

Suddenly his hand released her wrist. She didn’t know what he intended, not even when she felt it touch her cheek. There was nothing about the movement that was the least bit uncertain.

His fingers tangled in her hair, tracing downward to the abrupt end of the chin-length strand he had captured. And only then did she understand…long blond hair that used to tangle around me when we made love.

Slowly his hand fell away. Not to grip her wrist again. Not to touch her in any other way. But his forearm was still around her neck and the familiar feel of his big body was pressed tightly behind hers.

“Are you that woman, Sterling?” he asked again. The import of the question had changed somehow with the difference in his tone. She knew that what he was asking now was not what he had asked before.

They weren’t the same two people who had met on those nights in the darkness of her small apartment Hiding because it was dangerous to do otherwise. Meeting only when Nick believed he could safely get away from his assignment for a few hours. When he could disappear without being missed.

Are you that woman? It seemed like such a simple question. It wasn’t, of course, and it was one she still didn’t have any answer for. All she had was another question Are you that man, Nick? That same strong man?

Suddenly, his arm released her throat. It slid across her body, and his hand wrapped around her upper arm. His other hand found her left shoulder. Still standing behind her, gently holding her shoulders, Nick bent and pushed his mouth into the softness under her ear. His tongue traced over her skin, leaving a trail of heat and dampness behind.

Automatically, she tilted her head to rest her cheek against his hair, feeling the black silk of it brush her throat His teeth teased the sensitive lobe of her ear. Finally his tongue slipped inside the small ivory channel, the feel of its movement hot and enticing. Then his breath touched the moisture it had left, soft coolness against the warmth. A shivering seduction.

So familiar she was unable to prevent reaction.
