Chapter 18

When they returned to Dillon’s apartment from the man cave, he didn’t even suggest Kat return to his bed. Part of her was disappointed, but another part knew it was the right decision. The conflict between what she wanted to do and what she should do was already wearing on her. The sooner this was over and she was far, far away from Dillon, the safer and saner she would be.

She lay on the couch, staring at the ceiling, for a long time. Hacking into the Diablo Beach computer system put Dillon on the opposite side of the law from the FBI. How did he reconcile his actions with his job? And when had he become the Shadow with a friend named Chaos? Had he gone to the dark side as a result of their breakup? It was all just too weird to comprehend.

Kat stewed and mused and worried until her head spun. Eventually, exhaustion gave her a reprieve, and she fell into a fitful sleep.

On Thursday morning, she awoke to the wonderful aroma of coffee. Her eyes fluttered open to the sight of a steaming cup on the table in front of the couch.

She felt Dillon’s steely gaze on her before she spotted him in the recliner. He was already dressed, and wet strands of ebony hair hung on his forehead as evidence of an earlier shower. She fought the urge to pull the sheet up to her neck as they stared at each other for several minutes. His piercing blue eyes bored into her as though looking for answers or explanations of what she’d said to him last night after they’d made love. He could look all he wanted because she could never reveal the truth.

“How do you feel?” he finally asked.

She stretched and turned her head to the left and then to the right to find out. “Still a little sore, but the headache’s better. Hopefully, the dizziness will be gone today.”

“Don’t push yourself.”

“What time is it?”

“Nine.”

“Wow, I never sleep in this late.”

“You didn’t get to bed until four.”

She expected more, some discussion of the night’s events, but he only pressed his lips together. Sighing, she sat up and pulled the sheet around her as she reached for the mug of coffee. The heat in her hands felt comforting, and the first swallow spread warmth through her stiff body. Closing her eyes, she enjoyed another sip.

“Your phone’s been ringing.”

She gasped, and her panicky gaze shot to him. Oh no, Mom’s calling or texting about Skye. Did he see—

His gaze hardened in response to her reaction. “Don’t worry. It’s still in your purse, and I didn’t peek.” He rolled his eyes before stomping into the kitchen.

Kat scrambled from the couch to grab her purse and robe from the other chair. Only a slight wave of dizziness hit her before she sat down again. Thumbing the phone’s screen, she found two calls from her mother and one from Charlie Lee.

After a glance at the kitchen doorway, she hurried down the hall to the bathroom.
