Did she think that if she kissed hiet why he’d come here to see her? Hell, if she had, he hated to admit that for a moment, it had worked Never had a woman taken him by surprise like that Never had one heated his blood to volcanic proportions with the way her body had pressed against his, her tongue slipping into hisin an erotic ith his

The spark of electricity between theotten into him to kiss her back? Convention If he was interested in a woman, he let her know it But he sure as hell hadn’t planned to go down that path Not that she wasn’t intriguing as hell, but she sure wouldn’t be interested in someone like him who didn’t believe in her special "abilities"

Would she tell hiet themselves into even hotter water if he spent any more time alone with her? He hadn’t even been alone with her

He breathed in the air and still smelled her sweet ferass that she’d been lying in after Mervin knocked her flat on her back He could still feel the way her body had pressed against hihs, soft and curvaceous and sensuous If he didn’t keep his distance froet what he’d come here for Was that her ploy? Sidetrack him with a siren’s lure and keep her secrets to herself? The vixen

All he wanted was to close the file on the murder case in Silver Town perht appeal to hiet on with his own business

Tolowered at hi to think that this case wouldn’t be cleared up easily, particularly if she ele with hirowled to be released, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to keep it leashed--even though Carol was newly turned and probably didn’t understand what she was getting herself into

"What did Ryan McKinley want?" Lelandi asked Carol, as she fixed a double cheeseburger for herself in the kitchen, where the aroue pie filled the air

Everyone else had already taken their food outside or into the dining area or sunrooh the house like the cool breeze through the open kitchen

Carol dished a haer onto a bun and topped it with a slice of pickle and to inside, she smiled at Lelandi

"He wanted a date Isn’t that nice?"

Lelandi fumbled with her plate and nearly dropped it "You can’t be serious Darien will never allow it"

Silva, who Carol swore overheard conversations better than any olf alive, sauntered into the kitchen "My,a death wish--or he’s one determined wolf I heard he kissed you like there was no to out one of the s?

Silva chuckled "Yep The bachelors are ready for a shon"

Eyes wide, Lelandi asked, "He kissed you and then asked for a date?" She shook her head "He’s got nerve" But her tone of voice reflected a trace of approval, and Carol noted a shadow of a shed to think she had been the one to suggest the date, and that if she hadn’t pushed Ryan into proving souys, he would never have kissed her How could he not believe her about her psychic abilities after all that had happened? Even Darien’s people believed her

In fact, she thought a couple of his people were a little afraid of her because of it What if so that he or she shouldn’t, and then Carol envisioned it and shared their ht bother some of theht

Lelandi ser "You knohen Darien told Ryan he didn’t want hiation, Ryan stubbornly refused to take no for an answer" She shrugged "I doubt he will this time, either"

Carol didn’t know that Ryan had been told he couldn’t help with the investigation, just that Darien hadn’t liked the idea But she couldn’t believe this issue of whether or not she was psychic was such a big deal that he’d butt heads with Darien over it

"So what’s the gathering all about?" she asked, figuring that hat she’d have to prepare herself for next Forget Ryan and his agenda<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7451196230453695" data-ad-slot="9930101810" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
