Chapter Seven

Leah turned to look at Cain. She wanted to hate him, or be angry with him, maybe even a little bit pissed off, but instead she found herself aroused by the sight of him. This wasn’t a good thing, so she turned her attention back toward the computer screen.

“I thought you said I could use Lewis whenever I needed him?” she asked.

“You can. It doesn’t stop him from getting in touch with me for this information. Is Cameron a parent?” he asked.

Leah frowned. “No. Have you ever talked with Frank, your chef?”

“Yes, I talk with him all the time.”

“And what about the reason behind his being in prison?” she asked.

“I’m aware of it being a cop that wanted to make his life hell over a woman. So what?”

“So what?” Leah shook her head. “This woman left the cop. She left the state or even the country for Frank, so this cop would stop making his life misery.”

“That cop didn’t stop making Frank’s life misery,” Cain said, stepping further into the room. He closed the door to his office and came closer to her.

She couldn’t help but be lost in him as he started to remove his jacket. Underneath he wore one of his crisp suits. The kind that just screamed … man in control. Cain was always in control. Those hands were capable of so much more, and she was not going to sit there fantasizing about them. She was going to stay focused on her work.

“I did,” he said.

That shouldn’t have been sexy, but it was.

She was starting to see that Cain took care of his friends. They were his first priority, and that she could respect. She also admired it.

“Anyway, that doesn’t matter. I was talking to Frank today, you know, trying to distract him from the fact you’ve ruined his perfectly organized pots and pans. He told me how the two of you met and what caused him to be in prison.”

Cain nodded his head. “Yeah, Frank truly didn’t deserve to be locked up.” He blew out a breath. “A piece of shit cop that exploited his power. There was no stopping him.”

“And you didn’t think to ask Frank why?”

“Oh, I know why. Between men, it is always a woman, and they are always causing us some kind of trouble.”

She didn’t like the smirk on his face. “You’re saying those things to rile me up, but they’re not going to work. Anyway, did he tell you this woman was in love with Frank, and that to save him from the cop, she left the country?”

“I heard something.”

“And you never thought to find her, after what you did to the cop?” she asked.

He shrugged. “I talked to Frank about it, but he didn’t seem interested. The cop had taken several years of his life, and in all honesty, I don’t think he wanted the trouble of being with a woman.”

“That is so sad,” she said.

“Sad, but true,” Cain said. “I didn’t bother finding her. Let me guess,
