Chapter 8
Many moments passed before Carter, having gone completely numb, was able to take his first steps into the spacious penthouse.
"What...what are you doing here?" Carter asked stumbling over his words.
"Waiting for you," Fox said.
Carter could have blown over by a desk fan at that moment. He wasn't sure what was going on. He had just torched four men alive to get into the building and at the Vampire. Instead he found Fox, sitting casually behind a table.
"Waiting for me, but why?" he asked thoroughly confused. "Where's the Vampire? This is supposed to be his penthouse."
The room was dimly lit, but he could still make out the look on her face, that look that told him she was, as always, the smartest person in the room.
"Oh, Carter," she said getting to her feet.
She wasn't wearing her typical skin tight black jumpsuit with all the toys attached to her belt and wrists. No, she was wearing a silky low cut V-neck shirt with a long skirt that had a high cut slip up one leg, exposing her shapely calf and thigh as she stepped out from behind the table.
"You always were the simple one. You always looked for the simple pleasures," she said and as she passed in front of him, lightly cupping his crotch for the most brief of moments as she brushed her hand across his jeans.
Carter had to force himself to keep from snatching her wrist, snapping her around, and embracing her in a passionate kiss. He wanted her bad, and she knew it.
"So you're behind the drugs?" he asked.
Carter hated confrontation and it took all the gusto he could muster to come right out and say it.
"Well you were able to put that much together." She clapped in a mock congratulations as she spoke.
"But why?"
"Money," she answered plainly. "What other reason is there?" she asked, but Carter was shaking his head in denial.
"No. No, I know you better than this."
"You know nothing about me!" she shouted.
Fox turned on him and got right in his face, but he held his ground.
"You know nothing about what it's like to watch someone with powers like yours just squander them. No, I needed the money for all my little trinkets and toys to keep up with the users like you."
"I don't believe it," he said.
"Believe it, because that's the reality." She propped both hands against the table and lifted herself up to a sitting position.
Fox looked at him seductively and using one finger beckoned him to come closer.
"You know I still have feelings for you."
He fought the urge to go to her. His heart soared at the thought of being with her again, but his head ached, something was wrong with this picture. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but his anxiety level spiked, his adrenaline pumped, and his blood flowed hot like magma. Carter almost took off right then, his fight or flight mechanism telling him he needed to run.
"Think about it...all the drugs and money you could ever want.
