Chapter Twenty-One

Ethan awoke at dawn. He’d always been an early riser, looked forward to getting things done in the quiet hours of the morning. Lying beneath a comforter in the big king-size bed, he shifted, realized something was different today. It took a moment to remember last night and the soft curves of the woman whose naked bottom pressed intimately into his groin.

His morning erection stirred. He remembered he had broken the rules, remembered the hot night he and Val had shared. He heard her soft purr, felt her hips nudging, caught the flirty glance she tossed him over a pale shoulder covered by a fall of long honey-gold hair.

Reaching for the bedside table, he grabbed a condom and sheathed himself. Gripping her hips, he slid into her waiting warmth, taking what he wanted. Her moan was low and throaty, thick with pleasure as he moved. It didn’t take long before both of them were sated.

Rolling onto his back, he listened to Val’s deep breathing, knew she had drifted back to sleep. She’d been amazing last night, giving and taking, pleading and demanding. It occurred to him that the depth of sexual gratification they’d shared was new to her. If he were honest, the emotional attachment he felt made it new to him, too.

He refused to consider what that meant. He wanted her; she wanted him.

One thing he knew: Val had deep sexual needs and he was just the man to satisfy those needs. For now that was all that mattered. In the meantime, there were other things more important than pleasure.

There were murders to solve and people to protect. It was his job. That job wouldn’t end until this was over, no matter what Matthew Carlyle said.

He kissed Val’s temple and rolled from the bed, padded naked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. It was Saturday, a well-deserved day off, at least for Val. Once he was dressed, he would check his e-mail, see if he’d gotten a reply to the message he’d sent Sadie. He’d get his work done and let Val sleep.

At least for a while.

Dressed once more in jeans and a T-shirt, he sat down in front of the sofa, opened his laptop, and pulled up his mail. Sadie’s reply popped up, along with an attachment.

Thursday night, as he’d worked through possible leads and tried to keep his mind off Val, he’d had an idea. During his cop days in Dallas, he’d stumbled across a group of local psychologists who conducted an interactive online forum once a month. They gathered to discuss unusual cases, get feedback between group members, though no patient names were ever disclosed.

He’d discovered the group when a female doctor named Helen Burk had helped him track down a dangerous schizophrenic who had murdered his parents. In the beginning, Helen had been reluctant to break doctor/patient confidentiality, but as the evidence mounted, along with fear the guy might kill someone else, she finally came forward.

Ethan had no suspect this time. Helen Burk wouldn’t give him squat.
