Chapter Seven

Vega woke up panting and completely entangled in her sheets. She’d had the dream again.

Two and a half weeks since Jack ordered her home to Detroit to heal and Grayson’s searing kiss still hadn’t melted into an unpleasant memory. Something about it had made him seem so…vulnerable. Damn.

Her mind was wrapped around Grayson as tightly as her sheets had cinched up between her overheated legs. Her nipples puckered as she imagined just what kind of lover he would make.

She had to be out of her mind. Sex with him would be dangerous—crazy. Even so, the air in her dark, lonely bedroom was so heavy with lust it threatened to suffocate her.

She should call Butch.

During the day, she worried about Fiona traipsing through Atlanta in search of a murderer. At night, Grayson slipped into her dreams like a thief, caressing her with his gentle hands until he provoked her into a distressing pique of frustration.

She always woke up overheated.

She definitely should call Butch.

She punched her pillow a couple of times as if wounding a stuffed fabric square could solve anything. What she needed was satisfaction.

Not even Butch’s skillful attentions could help her with this one, damn it. If she were to ask a shrink, he’d tell her she was frustrated over losing to Grayson. Her dreams were no more than a manifestation of that frustration. She knew all that.

She untangled herself from the sheets and climbed out of bed. Four-twenty, the clock read. Sleep wouldn’t return again for a while and the dojo opened at five. She might as well get up.

Besides, some extra time spent training might help chase away her demons.

“Let me get back on that horse, Jack.” Vega planted herself in middle of her uncle’s office, refusing to budge until he said the words she wanted to hear.

The low afternoon sun blared through his windows. The weeklong arctic blast had finally blown itself out, but not even the return of daylight lightened her cagey nerves.

Spending the entire day in the dojo, getting her butt kicked by the master, only added to her frustration. She needed to get back to work. She needed to prove to everyone, herself included, that failing to apprehend Grayson didn’t necessarily brand her a failure. Hell, bounty hunters were lucky to have a fifty-percent success rate. Her determination had led her to an unprecedented one hundred percent capture rate. Her perfect record could survive one blemish. Couldn’t it?

“You were supposed to spend the day with your mother.” Jack leaned back in his chair and gave her a chilling glare. “Gillie called five times looking for you. Five times I had to listen to how I nearly got you killed.”

Damn. She’d forgotten all about her mother’s plans to drag her to every fashionable-clothing store in Detroit. Her mother called it “Step One” in reforming Vega’s wardrobe. “I’ll call her tonight and apologize.”

“You do that.” Jack flipped open a file folder on his desk and began reading.

She refused to take the hint and leave.
