Chapter Fourteen

Finn hadn’t planned on seducing Kayla when he snuck into her room. It just happened. He realized he needed her more than sleep. He knew he’d never get a minute of rest if he stayed in his bed, so he tiptoed down the steps to slide in beside her. She wanted to keep their relationship a secret from her coworkers and he respected that, but the murder of his high school sweetheart had him reeling.

Kayla provided him with the comfort his soul craved. He’d been shocked to discover Sally Sue lived so close. A little over an hour away. He didn’t love her anymore, wasn’t sure if he ever did. But she’d been a sweet girl who didn’t deserve to die just because she used to date him.

Tyler’s instincts had been spot-on from the beginning. Whoever was killing people had a connection with him. He’d searched his brain, but he couldn’t come up with anyone who would want to hurt him. Then the frightening thought of the killer coming for Kayla had him bolting from his room. She was strong and skilled, but what if the unsub—to borrow her term—used a gun as they did on Fred? She was well-trained, but she wasn’t bulletproof.

He was afraid she’d balk when he crawled in beside her. When she didn’t, he relaxed for the first time all day. He couldn’t keep his hands off her. That might be a problem when her coworkers were around. They managed precious little sleep between bouts of spectacular sex. Now, as he headed to the meeting with his teammates, the lack of rest was catching up with him.

“You son of a bitch.”

Finn didn’t have time to react before Trevor Short blindsided him, landing a solid punch that sent him stumbling backward as pain exploded in his jaw. Before he could respond, Dmitry tackled Short to the ground and unleashed a barrage of blows he was famous for in the league. Finn worked his jaw to make sure it wasn’t broken. It’d be sore as hell, but no damage done.

“That’s enough, Dmitry.”

His teammate jumped to his feet with pure glee in his eyes. He loved a good fight.

Trevor remained sprawled on the floor with blood leaking from his nose and mouth. His right eye swelled. Finn hauled him to his feet and pinned him against the wall, ignoring his grunt of pain. “You want to tell me what the hell that was about, Short?”

“I don’t have to tell you shit, old man,” he spat.

Finn smiled at his belligerence. Without looking, he felt the solid wall of his teammates behind him. They always had his back. “I’m going to ask one more time. It’d be in your best interest to answer.”

Dmitry cracked his knuckles, itching for another shot at the brash rookie.

“Fine. You want to know why? They stripped me of my signing bonus. That’s why. I’m talking millions. Not only that, but my agent said the front office wants to trade me.”

“So? What’s that got to do with me?”

Trevor bared his blood-stained teeth.
