Chapter SixIan resisted the urge to shelter Kieralyn as they dealt with the cops. Her pounding heart rate slowed as she stood, telling the officers how she’d come out for some night air and had been taken by surprise by the men. Ian added details from his side as they were asked for.
Neither he nor Kieralyn offered more information than was requested and the police quickly loaded the men in the back of their cruiser and drove away. Keeping the truth of who she was, what she was and what she was working on from the police seemed like a natural thing for Kieralyn. She hadn’t stumbled over her answers once.
“Why aren’t we including my team?” Kieralyn followed him into the house. “What game are you playing?”
He walked to his bedroom and went to the closet for a fresh change of clothes. Stepping out of his slacks and underwear, he listened to her behind him. She didn’t even try to hide the fact that she was watching him change.
“Calling in the cops gets those men away from the house long enough for us to get someplace else.” He put the clothes in the laundry hamper, grabbed some clean underwear from a drawer and pulled a pair of jeans from a hanger.
“The wires will track their location and allow us to hear who they’re talking to.”
“Your agency doesn’t have the right to do that kind of surveillance.” She’d grabbed some tennis shoes from her car before joining him and the police. Her shields were back in place. The agent was back in control. “What are you doing with equipment that can do that?”
“Who do you think develops most of the listening devices you use in the FBI?”
“A team of scientists.”
“Yeah. Me more often than not, with Dante’s assistance.” He pulled a V-neck T-shirt from a hanger and pulled it over his head.
“Your security guard?”
“He’s more than that. We’re still testing these. Why not test them with you to oversee the results?”
“This is about more than testing a new product. You’re holding back the truth behind your interest in helping me with this case.”
“My lover sneaks from my bed, most likely with intentions of running away while I sleep, but instead goes outside and has two men try to hurt her.” Her heart lurched when he called her lover. His hearing was a great tool at times. “And you think I don’t have an interest?”
He walked to her, wanting to pull her close and entice her back into his bed. “No one comes on my property under similar circumstances without me finding answers.”
“Then why didn’t you tell the cops about them going after me? Why make it sound like they’d only tried to break in? You could have kept them in a cage much longer.”
“The one who held you when I came outside followed us from the club.” He brushed a thumb along her cheekbone and cupped her face. “We lost him at my office when we got into your car, but obviously they’re well connected to have found you here.
