Yes.
Fingertips brushed her shoulder. Dee spun around, the weapon up.
Chase stared back at her.
“What? Christ, man, how the hell did you move so fast?” And so quietly.
“Where’s your partner?”
Thudding footsteps. Dee glanced back in time to see Sunshine make a break for the line of cars. She lunged forward?—
He jerked her back. “Your. Partner.”
“She’s getting away!” If Dee could trail her, they could find out where the vamps were hiding and?—
“Good. The bitch just threatened you. If she didn’t get her ass out of here, I might have killed her.”
What?
An engine kicked to life. No time to argue. Dee elbowed him, twisted, shimmied, then kicked out with her foot.
He flew back, and she shot forward.
“Dee!”
Her legs pumped as fast and hard as they could. Go, go. A car lurched forward, a small, red Ford. Exhaust burned her nostrils and the squeal of tires grated in her ears. Tag, get the?—
Damn. Her shoulders slumped.
Gravel crunched behind her. “That hurt, Dee.”
Doubtful. If she’d wanted him hurt, he would have been hurt. “You should have let me go.” She stared at the disappearing taillights. No tag. Sunshine had planned for their meeting. Turning back to Chase, she glared. “She got away.”
He rubbed his side. “Where. Is. Your. Partner?”
Dee tried to brush by him.
He grabbed her shoulders, trapping her against him. His eyes glittered down at her. “You know, the blond bastard who was licking your ear inside. Where is he?”
Ah, what was that? Jealousy? Men. Take away the jeans and designer labels and you had cavemen beating their chests. “Jude isn’t my partner.”
“Is he your lover?”
Her breath rushed out. “None of your business, okay? I’m on a case, you just let my lead get away and?—”
He kissed her. Chase crushed that too hard mouth down on hers and drove his tongue past her lips.
She could have broken free. Could have given him another hard punch but?—
Screw it.
She wanted to taste him.
So for a few wild seconds, she forgot the vamps and the death and she locked her arms tightly around him and she opened her mouth wide.
Yes.
Her tongue met his. She wasn’t the kind of woman who liked to be taken. She liked to take.
