CHAPTER TEN

Blane appeared to be livid, his gray eyes flashing fire as he looked at Kade.

“I’ve been worried sick,” he snapped. “Kat got off work hours ago. You said you were going to get her. Where the hell were you?”

Okay, now I felt exactly like a teenager, complete with a pissed-off “father.” A chill racked me and I shivered.

“Can we come in before you start the interrogation?” Kade snapped.

Blane’s jaw clenched and he backed up, allowing Kade and me into the house. As we walked down the hallway, I could feel Blane’s eyes on me, especially when we stepped into the light. And when I stopped and turned, his gaze raked me from head to foot and back. I remembered what Kade had said about Blane throwing a fit and raised my chin. I wasn’t about to be looked down on for having to wear a uniform to work, even if it did make me look trampy.

“Romeo had Fourth of July uniforms for us,” I couldn’t help explaining.

“You’re soaking wet.”

My cheeks burned. “Got caught in the rain,” I said with a shrug.

Blane seemed to let that go, thank God. He turned to Kade. “I’ve been worried about you, both of you. I tried calling a dozen times. I was just heading out to find you when I heard you at the door.”

“I said I’d get her and I did,” Kade retorted. “No need to check up on me, brother. Or was it something other than her safety you were concerned about?” He gave Blane a cold smile, turned, and walked up the stairs. I heard a door open and close, then Blane and I were alone.

Blane pushed a hand through his hair, heaving a sigh. The muscles of his shoulders and neck looked tight and I suddenly felt bad. He had enough on his mind.

“Listen,” I said. “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you were waiting up for us.”

“You didn’t think I’d notice you sneaking out of here?”

Crap. Busted. “I didn’t want to bother you,” I hedged.

“Didn’t want to be alone with me, you mean,” he corrected.

“That’s not true.”

“Isn’t it?”

The look on his face was so pained, I couldn’t stop myself from going to him. I rested a hand on his arm.

“I’m here now,” I said. “What can I do to help? Did the police agree to come here?”

He nodded. “Tomorrow morning.”

The anxiety that had lifted while I’d stood in the rain came roaring back. “Are you all right?”

Blane didn’t answer. Instead, he glanced down to where my hand rested on his arm. Self-consciousness kicked in and I pulled back, but he caught my fingers in his and held them.

“I don’t want you in the room tomorrow when they come,” he said, his eyes catching mine.

“But I don’t want you to be alone—”

“I won’t be,” he said. “Charlotte will be here.”

My heart seemed to skip a beat. “Oh?” Coming to hold your hand, is she? My cattiness and instinctive desire to claw her eyes out surprised me.

Blane didn’t seem fooled by my oh-so-nonchalant response.
