Chapter 12

Grant lay on his side, half covered in Emily’s sheets. She was on her back, staring up at him as he traced the lines of her body with a fingertip.

The pleasures they shared had been shattering, powerful. But since they slowly detangled from their tight embrace and he covered them with her tousled bedclothes, she had scarcely spoken a word. Only watched him with a look of contentment softening her expression.

He had certainly found release. Pleasure so intense, so potent he’d almost let himself go inside of her. But they had already established they would be very careful to avoid a pregnancy. He would have to be more aware, more restrained, the next time.

He shuddered at the thought that there would be a next time. And a time after that. Emily was his, in every wicked way. At least until their partnership ended.

But for now he had to focus. At least for a little while.

He let his fingers skim over her arm. “We should discuss this case you uncovered.”

She smiled up at him, eyes dancing. “You do know what to say, my lord.”

He couldn’t help but chuckle and marveled at how good it was to laugh again. He hadn’t really allowed himself to feel so good for a year. Now it seemed natural.

“I would wager talking about cases is exactly what you like to hear,” he teased.

She shrugged one shoulder. “I’ll admit I love my work.”

His smile fell. She loved her work, even if it put her in danger.

Emily must have sensed the shift in his mood, because her tone became businesslike, efficient. “And you are correct. We must work quickly to uncover what purpose the imposter and his cohorts have in mind. We must determine how much danger the Prince is in.”

“If Cullen Leary is involved in this plot, I would say a great deal.” Grant pursed his lips as he stared down at her. His mind returned to the night Leary had chased her, and the thought of her in such danger turned his stomach. “I don’t like the idea of you being involved, especially since the man went after you once already.”

Her eyes narrowed. “I won’t have that discussion with you again.”

He let out his breath in a harsh sigh. “We need to have the discussion again, Emily.”

She shook her head. “I uncovered this case and I won’t be shut out. Not because of some misguided attempt to protect me. I get enough of those from my friends, I don’t need them from you.”

Grant’s mouth set in a thin line. The woman could be ridiculously stubborn. There would be no convincing her to back away to protect herself. He could only hope he would be able to keep her safe.

“Very well,” he ground out. “But we still need to determine our first step. The men who chased you that night at The Blue Pony, did you recognize any of them?”

She shook her head. “Only Leary. The man in the costume was too made up to determine if I knew him or not and the other was a stranger.
