CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Eva sat on one of the purple-velvet-covered sofas in the lounge of Alex’s penthouse apartment and frowned at the photo album that lay on the coffee table in front of her.

“There,” Alex said, pointing to one photo in particular. He was standing beside the coffee table, Honor at the opposite end. The album was their mother’s, and Honor had bought it over for Alex to look at just in case the photos might reveal anything new about the Seven Devils.

Eva had woken up that morning to find a text from him asking her to come over and look too, since there would be more pictures of Fitzgerald. She didn’t particularly want to see any more pictures of him but since concentrating on something else was preferable to thinking about Zac and what had gone down between them, she went.

The picture Alex had pointed to was a group shot of seven young men, sitting on or standing around a couch and laughing at the camera. They were all holding whisky tumblers and looked like they’d had more than one.

“That’s him.” Alex tapped the face of one of the men standing behind the couch. Tall and blond and handsome. The quintessential, clean-cut WASP college student. He had one hand on the shoulder of the young man sitting in the middle of the couch, whose blue eyes were discernible even in the horrible flash of the camera.

Fitzgerald. And Alex and Honor’s father.

“There’s Guy too,” Honor added softly, nodding at one of the men sitting on the arm of the couch, another blandly handsome blond.

“And fucking Conrad.” Alex sighed. “I can’t believe we haven’t gotten anything on any of these pricks.” He turned and looked down at Eva. “You haven’t had any visitations from our friendly neighborhood mercenary?”

“If you’re meaning this Elijah guy then no. But then I’ve been covering my tracks online. It’ll look like I’ve dropped all investigations into the Devils.”

“What about Zac?”

A small jolt of electricity went through her. It had been two days since she’d left his house, going home by herself in her limo, her body aching with unfulfilled sexual hunger. She’d never thought it would actually physically hurt, but it did. It also left a strange hollowness in her chest and a furious kind of anger in her blood that she didn’t understand.

All she’d wanted was to know him. Was that so fucking wrong? Yeah, she’d never asked him about himself, and that had been deliberate. Mainly because she didn’t want to have to reciprocate.

Selfish much?

Well, yes, she was beginning to understand that. But there was also another reason.

If she didn’t know his past, she wouldn’t know him. He would remain an enigma, hardly even a person. And that made him safe. A wall to push against when she needed to push and to support her when she needed support.

He wasn’t just a wall anymore though. And as she’d lain in his arms, drifting with the aftereffects of the orgasms he’d given her, his warmth and strength around her, she’d realized she didn’t want him to remain an enigma any longer either.
