Chapter Thirteen

Ryan had tossed and turned all night thinking about what Lisa told him the night before about Beckett.

Rage had kept Ryan from being able to let go of his emotions and give in to sleep. And everything inside him wanted to crush Beckett Alcorn. Lisa felt alone, but someone like him didn’t stop after one victim. Ryan was realistic enough to know that it would be next to impossible to find out who else Beckett had preyed on.

Trying to figure out a solution had kept Ryan in tangled sheets.

If it wasn’t for that, he would’ve been awake thinking about the couple of kisses he and Lisa had shared. Ryan honestly didn’t know what to make of what was happening between them. There’d never been so many sparks in a room with two people or so much fire in a kiss before Lisa. All he knew for certain was that this was different than anything else he’d experienced. He chalked it up to the string of bad dates he’d had in the past year.

What dates, Hunt?

There hadn’t been a real date, someone he was truly interested in, in a very long time.

For one person to be everything he needed seemed a tall order, especially since Ryan didn’t particularly need anyone. Had he truly been looking for a partner? Or had he given up after Maria, Chelsea and Sandy consecutively had made no qualms about caring more about what he did for a living or what SUV he drove than anything else?

In fact, he liked talking to Lisa more than almost every other activity he could think of. Well, except for one, and sex with Lisa was totally out of the question.

Most likely their history and a natural curiosity gave that extra pull toward her. How many times in high school had he tried to work up the nerve to ask her out but couldn’t? She’d shot him down cold when he finally mustered the courage.

Looking back, he might’ve done the same thing if the shoe were on the other foot and she’d come up with the same lame line he had. What was his brilliant phrase? You wanna go grab a mocha with me and do some homework?

In all fairness, she should’ve laughed in his face. He remembered how uncomfortable she’d become when he moved closer to her. He’d thought it was because she couldn’t get away from him fast enough. Now he knew the real reason.

Ryan untangled himself from the sheets, threw on a pair of jeans and shuffled down the hallway. No good could come out of too much thinking before a man had his coffee. He stabbed his fingers into his
