Chapter 8

Trygg could have stayed buried inside Sia’s soft, wet warmth all night.

He’d lost count of how many times he made her come. His own performance had been one for the records. Hours later, somewhere between midnight and daybreak, she had fallen asleep in his arms. His eyes remained open. Sleep was the last of his concerns. He had a handful of evidence lying on the dresser just out of his reach—evidence that might lead him to Santino—yet he’d just shirked his duty in order to steal a few hours of pleasure with Sia.

No doubt about it, making love to her was worth every second and then some.

Yet when he considered what he’d just done, guilt raked him.

Anger, too—directed only at himself.

He knew better than to let anything distract him from a goal.

Santino might already be regrouping after the bungling of his men’s handling of Rosa. If he had moles inside JUSTIS, he might already be aware that the evidence collected from the dead woman’s room had gone missing sometime during the night.

And all the while, Trygg had been lost in a blinding, unquenchable need for the woman still dozing at his side.

Damn it.

This could not happen again. He couldn’t allow it. Not until he saw this mission through to the end. Then, maybe he could think about Tamisia the Atlantean.

Right now, she was a distraction he could not afford.

Rolling away from her, he moved carefully out of the narrow bed and got dressed.

Rosa’s phone and the other items he had retrieved went silently into the pocket of his leather jacket.

He glanced over his shoulder at Sia, indulging in one last look at her beautiful face resting on the pillow. The pale blonde hair that had felt like silk between his fingers was fanned out around her in sexy disarray. The mouth that had given, and taken, such erotic pleasure was softly parted, her lips the same petal pink as her nipples, which tempted him even from across the room.

He wanted to reassure himself that all they had was sex and some unexpected synergy, but even he knew that for a lie. Sia was different than any woman he’d known before, and not only because of what she was. Being Atlantean was the least remarkable thing about her.

Christ. He was too far gone and he’d only had a single night with her.

How useless would he be if he let this thing between them become something more?

What if he actually allowed himself to fall in love with her?

He chopped that idea off at the knees.

There was no room in his life for that kind of weakness. Love was treacherous. It was as cruel a master as the one he’d spent the first part of his life enslaved to…and the one he so stupidly trusted immediately after breaking free from Dragos.

He swore he’d never put himself in those shackles ever again.

And as tempting as Sia was, the only master he served now was his commitment to the Order.

He started to walk away, but a jab of regret slowed him before he took the first step.
