nothing. I ve been up against all kinds of monsters.
He supposed she probably had, not that it made him
feel any better. Still, she was strong, capable and clearly
well trained, and he knew there was nothing he could do or
say to deter her, but that wasn t going to stop him from
trying.
 Plus I know you ve got my back, she added for good
measure, as if sensing him weakening.  Which is more
than I can say for my partner. She made a gesture with her
head.
It hit him then that she actually trusted him. That threw
him off balance for all of two seconds. Then he processed
everything she d said.
 What partner? he asked suspiciously, and looked
toward the spot she d gestured to in time to see a guy
leaving with a hot blonde.  That him?
 Yeah. Sunny waved a hand just as a couple moved
past them, their hot bodies brushing up against Blake s
back as he caged Sunny between his chest and the wall.
He briefly glanced over his shoulder and took in their
gyrating bodies. Christ, if not for the clothes separating
them, undoubtedly the couple would be fucking then and
there.
 Forget him, Sunny said bringing his attention back to
the matter at hand. He doesn t believe anything out of the
ordinary is going on, but I can demand he call for backup if
we need it. Right now the bulk of the investigation is up to
us.
He wasn t too keen on the idea of this partner. Then
again, if he had to, he could always turn Sunny in if he
thought she was getting too deeply involved.  Okay, he
said, letting the matter of the partner drop for the moment.
 We need to shake Neal and his friends so we can talk and
figure out a plan of action. It shouldn t be too hard. I don t
think they were hired for their intelligence.
She nodded. Then she slipped her hand into the front of
his shirt, the long folds of his leather coat swinging closed
around them, making it look for all the world as if they were
indulging in a little foreplay before they made plans to meet
up later.
Sunny angled her head, and her lashes flutter against
his skin as she put her mouth close to his ear.  They re still
watching us, she murmured.  How do you suggest we
shake them?
 By convincing them I ve got things under control.
Her eyes flared hot, indicating that she knew exactly
what he was referring to. Without hesitation, her lips met
his, and she moved restlessly against the wall. Her pert
nipples scraped against his chest and as instantly he
ached to touch them, and taste them. As his thoughts raced
off track, he damn near dropped to the floor and dragged
her down with him.
As he rooted his feet, she trembled in his arms, and he
could feel the heat rising in her. She stroked his face and
her touch went right through him. Lust bombarded him and
as the air around them charged, his cock throbbed so hard
against his zipper he was sure it was going to burst free.
His muscles rippled and it was all he could do to maintain
composure.
 Is it working, she questioned in a soft tone before she
slipped her tongue inside his mouth.
A sudden, unexpected riot of emotions overcame him.
Oh yeah, it was working all right. Working to make him
forget that she was crawling past his defenses without even
trying.
As his body ached to join with hers, and cravings like
he d never before experienced swamped him, he casually
shifted his glance and Sunny followed the movement.
 They re not leaving.
 What now? she asked, and he noted how she didn t
seem in a hurry to come up with another plan, as if she was
taking as much pleasure in this charade as he was. Jesus,
the way she responded to his touch really did something to
him, and truthfully, there was nothing he d like more than to
stay there, keeping her pinned to the wall while he indulged
in her mouth and the way her sexy body pressed against
his. No, that was a lie because everything in him was
suddenly screaming possession. It felt so intimate, so right
being with her and what he really wanted was her in his
room, naked and writhing beneath him so he could spend
the entire night with his cock buried deep inside her.
 I guess we have no choice but to let them follow us to
my room. When she gave him a strange look, the fire in her
eyes licking him from head to toe and he went on to
explain,  Hell, they obviously think I m auditioning you, so
the only way to shake them is by giving them what they
want. Once were inside we can talk privately and put
together a plan of action.
Before they had a chance to escape, Tabby sauntered
into the room and brushed up against them, causing
another complication for them both. Blake bit back a curse,
as he worked to tame his cock. Not only was Tabby
interfering with their getaway, he didn t want to put her, or
anyone else, in any danger. And now that he d sampled
Sunny, something told him he d never have a taste for
another. He drew a breath and struggled to make sense of
his reactions to her.
Blake shifted, and Tabby moved in close, rubbing her
body against his.  I see you two are getting to know each
other. She gave a wink and added,  Mind if I join in?
Blake offered her a sexy grin, and turned on a bit of his
demon charm, hoping to put her under his spell so she d do
what he wanted.  Why don t you go grab us a drink, Tabby.
Seemingly pleased that she was going to get in on the
action, she disappeared through the throngs of people.
When the goons continued to watch with interest, Blake put
his mouth close to Sunny s ear.  You get rid of Tabby, he
told her, trying to ignore the slow, steady movement of her
fingers. He paused, slipped a key card into her back
pocket and added,  Then I want you to meet me back in my
room. He gestured with a nod,   Check the card number. I
switched rooms, he added, lifting an eyebrow. When she
opened her mouth to speak, he cut her off and added,  You
should wear a less distinctive perfume. He inhaled deeply,
then grinned.  Although I must admit, vanilla is my favorite.
Vibrant green eyes met his and she whispered back.
 I m bringing my dagger.
He laughed.  I d expect nothing less.
Ten minutes later, Blake made his way to his new
room, having put off his move into the suite Trevor s had
assigned him for as long as he could. He d made the
switch earlier that morning, but last place he wanted to be
sleeping was on the same floor as Trevor and his goons.
With Trevor s final words still ringing a warning in his
head& we ll be watching, he pushed open the door and
entered.
As he tossed his coat over the suitcase he d unpacked
earlier, and took in his new digs, he suddenly had the
feeling he was still being watched. He casually made his
way to the window to shut his blinds when the smoke
detectors caught his attention. One room. Two smoke
detectors.
We ll be watching&
Was the place rigged? He inconspicuously examined
the detectors closer, and that was when he caught site of
the camera lens haphazardly hidden beneath the plastic.
Oh, fuck.
He was intelligent to understand the significance of
those two detectors and why Trevor had insisted on the
new room. Because clearly he planned on  watching the
initiation process.
And goddammit, Sunny was on her way&

Michelle paused outside room 412, hardly able to
believe she was knocking on a demon s door. Well,
technically she didn t have to knock since he d given her a
key card.
She trusted Blake. She wasn t sure why. It wasn t
smart, or even rational, but if she were honest she d have to
admit that she d come across too many humans who were
as much a monster as he was. Maybe more so.
She slipped the card in and took one cautious step
forward. Blake met her at the door and pulled her into him.
He put his mouth close to her ear.  They re watching.
She buried her face in his neck to muffle her words.  I
know, she murmured [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
