Cara didn’t look back as she fled She didn’t want to see Detective Brooks again The way she figured it, he’d already done enough dah a part of her wanted to
Beneath the rage he’d stirred, the greedy lust still burned Sometimes it was like that for a succubus Sometimes, she would stumble onto the perfect prey A man who could make her ith just a look and who promised a pleasure so powerful it was a temptation to the very soul
But she could control her needs She’d vowed hours before to give up sex, and though the lust had caught her off guard, she’d regain her balance As soon as she ay froant cop, the heat would lessen
So she didn’t look back Not once, not even when she heard him softly call her name
He wanted to stop her To run after her and catch her and stop her fro hiry eyes and lustful faces, even as he knew his eyes matched theirs and his faceto hi, and with every breath he took, he tasted her
Shit He was in trouble
He called her nalanced back Just keptas fast as she could
As she fled
Well, hell, he didn’t really blame the woman If the lady was innocent, and he had to ad to think she was, then he’d just coust was voiced aloud He slanted a glance at Colin "Think the alibi will hold up?"
A grim nod "She wouldn’t have said it unless she could prove it The facts are too easy to check, and she has to know that"
Yeah, that hat his instincts were telling hioing on?
A setup?
Or was the lady dead guilty and just jerking hi down, he realized it was edging close to 4 AM And Cara didn’t have a way home
Perfect
He hadn’t really planned to let her out of his sight Not yet, anyway Not until his questions were answered-- fully
He stepped forward, intent on catching her
And was brought up short by Colin’s steely grip on his arht the fierce need to shove the guy off hi away "Why not? She’s a suspect, I’ to let her walk--"
"Don’t bullshit me," Colin snapped "You’re hot for the woman You have been froan to spike "Get your hand offstare One moment, two
Colin dropped his hold
Todd’s jaw clenched and he gritted, "I can want a woet the job done, noin his personal life
"Just don’t think with your dick around her" Colin’s face was rock hard "That wo deadly"
Yeah, he knew that He also knew that her lips had quivered when she first saw Michael House’s photo, that her hands had trembled--and that she’d tried to hide both responses
When she’d attempted to leave and he’d stopped her with ht eyes Tears that she refused to shed
The woenuine shock and sorrow on her face when she’d learned of House’s death
There were soood the actress
"I’ll go to Paradise Found and check her alibi," Todd said, deterot a few hours of sleep, he’d head out and ht now, there wasn’tover Cara If he didn’t hurry, she’d probably crook her finger and have one of theive her a ride home
And that outco hours before dawn
"Uh, maybe you should let e had lessened in his voice "You and Niol don’t exactly have a good track record"
Niol was the annoying bastard ned Paradise Found The last tiuy had attacked him Sort of Todd still wasn’t exactly certain how he’d flown ten feet across the bar when he couldn’t actually re him
No question, the man eird as hell
And he really was a bastard
But Todd didn’t have ti after her," he ured that was really all he needed to say to Colin
His job was now very si for the real killer…or he proved the beautiful lady’s guilt
He hurried fro his nostrils and a helpless need tightening his gut
Colin Gyth watched his partner disappear, shaking his head This wasn’t going to end well Not At All
He thought about calling in the captain Giving him a heads-up on the situation
But then Colin dish about Ms Maloan to go to the captain, not yet
And if her alibis checked out, well, then he ht never have to tell Captain Danny McNeal that their suspect wasn’t human
"Be careful," he whispered the words too late, because Brooks was already gone But his partner had no idea what hell a wole" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7451196230453695" data-ad-slot="9930101810" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
