SEARCH FOR THE SPEAR Cynthia Breeding 71

Chapter Seven: Clues

Sara was quiet on the short flight from Halifax to Boston the next morning. She could still taste Lucas’s kisses and feel his strong arms embracing her, keeping her pressed against him. The thought of his tongue teasing her with alternating slow, gentle and then deep, long thrusts made her start throbbing at her very core.

She had to stop thinking like this. After Loser Number Three, she realized that she was attracted to good-looking men with an air of mystery about them. A hint of danger even. LNT claimed to have worked for Homeland Security and wasn’t allowed to offer much information about his past. It had been a sheer fluke she found out he was married. The Loser before him raced sports cars on and off the track. And the first? An actor she’d supported because she was drawn to his Rebel without a Cause-brooding personality.

And all three of them had been subtle in their approaches to her. No blatant

flirting and smooth lines like Alan Caldwell used. Oh, no. That ruse would have been easy to see through. Her Losers had all talked to her, seemed to value her opinions, asked for advice. Made her feel like an intelligent woman. The passion they’d shared in bed left her no doubt they desired more than her mind. Then, frustratingly, they would disappear for days on end only to reappear dangling their charismatic selves as bait.

Her Losers would be card-carrying members.

She stole a sideways glance at Lucas, seated in the aisle seat beside her. He was working on his laptop again. Perfect example. He appeared to be all business and exuded enough pheromones to make a nun think about removing her habit.

This morning at breakfast in the dining room, he’d acted like nothing out of the ordinary had happened last night. Like he hadn’t claimed her mouth in hot, torrid kisses that left her breathless. Like his hands hadn’t glided along the rounded sides of her breasts as he caressed her back. Like there hadn’t been a promise of a lot more before they were interrupted. He had merely poured her coffee for her from the carafe left on the table and returned her purse to her.

‘What are you working on?” she asked finally.

He looked up just as the flight attendant was announcing preparation for landing and saved his file. “Just some notes on Balor that I need to send to Gavin later. I want him to dig through some layers of protection.”

“Do you think Baylor will try again?” she asked as they entered the terminal.

He glanced down at her. “With absolute certainty. He wants a copy of that

manuscript.
