![]() What I wonder is what makes you suspect he's working for Martinez?"įury makes the muscles at his jawline tighten. I don't let him, stopping him with a hand on his arm. He reaches again for his jacket and starts to stand up. Still, why wouldn't Max's own people believe him?ĭoubt must be reflected on my face because Max's expression darkens. And my own impressions of Foley were less than favorable. He's the most stable, reliable man I know. ![]() "The better question is how many people believe it?" "I'm sorry he dragged you into this," he says. "I thought it was a trick to get me to contact you. I barely have time to shrug into a robe before he gets to the bedroom door. He's dressed and heads straight for a chair where he picks up his gun and clips it to his belt. So, I lie there for the ten minutes it takes Max to return to the bedroom. He needs to know what I suspect about Foley following me and I need to know what's going on between them. I don't know whether I should follow Max into the shower, press for answers, or get dressed and out of here before he gets back. He goes straight into the bathroom without looking back. Max throws off the covers and climbs out of bed. "Is that the reason you wanted to see me?" You didn't mention any of that last night, did you?" I had a chat with an FBI agent this morning who says you're in trouble. "And if you want to talk about holding back, how about what you've been doing? I heard that you haven't checked in with your boss in over a month. A dirty trick, but he's backed me into a corner. If you feel I've been holding back, I'm sorry." I decide to turn the tables. He won't look away, won't let me off the hook. How would he react if he found out some of those characters are not only inhuman, but immortal? And I just happen to be one of them? But while "different" to Max means delusional, maybe even criminally psychotic, all the same, he believes they're human. I know he goes to Beso de la Muerte and he's admitted to me that some of the strange characters he's met there are a little different. Vampires aren't known for their self-control as I've just so dramatically proven. You hold back." A small smile lifts the corners of his mouth. But there was-is something else going on, too. But he stops me with a curt wave of his hand. I start to argue that of course I was different, I'd just found out I had a niece in big trouble. The last time we were together like this"-he motions to the bed-"you seemed different." "I can't always tell how you'll react to things. "When you weren't here, the temptation to take a nap in a real bed was just too strong. That I was to come here and wait." He relaxes a little, smiling. He stares at me a second before answering, "Culebra said he got a message from you. I take the coward's way out, counter with a question of my own. But how to explain it? Especially since I know it will never happen again. He shifts, turning so that he is looking straight into my eyes. "If you have to ask, it has been too long since we've had sex." I clear my throat, try again, going for more of a tease this time. His eyes are clear blue again until he looks at me and a frown clouds them and tightens the corners of his mouth. The weariness and tension that were so evident last night are gone. His skin, where it touches mine, is hot, flushed with what passed between us.
