"He did," Riley confirmed "I have copies of the policy, Kinley In the event of your death, he’s the sole beneficiary"

She took a deep breath and seemed to rally "So? Married people take out policies on one another They protect their future, just in case I’m sure he took one out on himself, too He probably meant to tell me, but life has been so chaotic All we’ve been able to talk about lately is the wedding After the ceremony, he would have told me"

"No, he wouldn’t And he didn’t buy a policy that would protect you in the event of his death He only made sure that he’d pocketaway her illusions She ht well enough of hiuess? Kinley felt guilty for not loving her fiancé

"That doesn’t prove anything I’m sure after our honey out a policy on hi like insurance is a crime I’m sure he just…wanted to feel secure"

"And he needed a ten-asped, half choked the question "Ten million dollars? Why would he need that much money if I died? He’s already rich"

Now she was finally listening "That’s a good question, one we’ve been asking since we discovered the policy" Law nudged Riley out of the way and led her to the great rooet you some coffee, baby"

She put a hand up to stop hi to sit down and have a civilized conversation with the od knohere Just because Greg did so hiht There must be some reasonable explanation If I asked hiical Why are you even telling me this? You’re criminals,ation "Use your head, Kinley We knohy you’reto do with love"

"Hoould you know that?"

Riley shrugged a little as though he didn’t really give a shit "It’s the omen like you work"

Her perfectly plucked brows rose "Women like me? What do you mean by that?"

"Beautiful women"

"You think I’m beautiful?" She frowned, then shook off the question "Never mind It doesn’t"Yeah Gorgeous society woive a shit what a man is really like You only care about how e"

His brother was never going to get over Simone One lousy woman, one lame relationship, and she’d ruined Riley for all ti met her

"Give Kinley a break," he told his brother

Once again, she see herself Laas actually a little proud of her

"You have no idea who I ah clenched teeth "None And I don’t want breakfast I want to go back to the hotel Gregto hear fro, you bastards I’ kidding rave

"Ry, tread lightly" He felt the same way, but there was no reason to piss her off It was obvious she didn’t understand as going on

Kinley didn’t even look at hi to stare at Riley Hands on her hips, she rose to her tiptoes, but she still couldn’t even reach his chin "No I’e You have a horrible potty mouth"

Riley’s whole face turned red He wasn’t used to wo at his feet Law had to admit, it was kind of cool to watch his usually unflappable brother fucking up right and left with a woman "You are either insane or stupid"

"And you are rude!" Kinley screaht back at him

Not only was Riley rude, he also looked hard His brother’s erection was practically poking her in the belly If his daht, his cock would very likely be knocking on Kinley’s sto like the bad cop, but Riley was obviously the horny cop And that probably pissed him off He didn’t want to want Kinley

Slowly, her body softened Her lips flushed and parted She was responding To his brother

"I’ to speak really slowly so you can understand" Sarcasm dripped from Riley’s mouth "I’ll bet you don’t knohy Jansen asked you to oing to kill you on your honey to use very small words so you can understand Fuck off" She slapped her right hand over her rowled and rolled his eyes

She turned to Law, her shoulders squaring "You can’t prove any of this and you’re wrong Let o"

"Eventually, ill--but not until it’s safe But you need to listen to us We do have evidence and we’re going to prove our case to you"

All that blonde hair ruffled around her shoulders as she shook her head stubbornly "It’s i is a criminal because he’s not"

"If you’re so sure, then it won’t hurt to listen But you can’t listen without eating, sweet…I’m sorry Kinley" Law remembered that she didn’t want endearments frohed in annoyance "I can’t eat"

"You don’t like eggs? I’ll get you so else"

She bit her lip and hesitated, clearly not wanting to adht And I can’t get out of it by myself I tried I can’t unbutton the back without help"

Oh shit He had to undress her His fantasy and his nightmare rolled into one "Turn around"

She hesitated

"I promise not to touch you I’ll be careful I don’t mean to make you uncomfortable"

She slowly turned around, as if she wasn’t really sure this was a good idea But if she wanted out of the dress, ere heroptions?

Finally, she showed hiood way, and he couldn’t help but notice how it exaggerated the curve of her waist, the way her skin glowed against the lace, looking crea more than to run his hand down every patch as he exposed it, but he couldn’t His hands were callused They didn’t belong touching anything so fine as her flesh
