Morgan squeezed Leigh’s arm, wishing she could take her pain away. “Exactly. I need you to think, Jake. Go through everyone you’ve met in the last couple of months. Is there anyone who stands out at all? Someone who might have been acting odd around you? Maybe seemed a bit enamored with you—even obsessed?”

Jake was silent for a minute before slowly shaking his head. “I’m sorry. I wish I could give you useful information, but I just can’t think of anything.”

“I need to talk to Mike. Even if he isn’t involved, he may be able to help the investigation. I’ll also need access to the emails you two deleted before allowing me to see your email accounts.”

Leigh and Jake exchanged a guilty look.

“I’m sorry, Morgan. I didn’t mean to hold up your investigation…”

“It’s alright, Leigh. I understand now why you did it. Just be completely honest with me in the future, alright?”

“I will be, I promise.”

“With that in mind, I could really use access to your WhatsApps, too.”

Leigh nodded. “Sure. I’ll download WhatsApp onto your laptop and sync it to my phone.”

Jake, on the other hand, bit his lip. “I’m not sure about that, Morgan. There are things that you’d… rather not see on my WhatsApp.”

“What kinds of things?”

“Um… private things between Mike and me.”

“I’m not interested in your sexting with Mike. Don’t worry, I’ll skip through it as much as I can. You don’t need to worry about me being traumatized or anything. I may be a lesbian, but I’m not going to expire at the sight of a cock. It won’t turn me on, but it’s not going to bother me.”

Jake finally nodded. “Alright. Just be prepared for some… kinky stuff.”

Well, now he had Morgan curious. “I’ll be prepared.”

She glanced at Leigh. Would Leigh be interested in exploring that kind of thing with her? She’d love to have Leigh tied up and at her mercy, begging to come for hours before Morgan finally allowed her release.

Fuck, now she was getting wet. She forced herself to think of threats to Leigh’s life, which effectively killed her arousal.

“It’s late; I think I’m going to get some sleep. I’ll have Mike come over tomorrow. You two should get some rest—or do whatever it is you’re going to do tonight.” Jake winked at them before going to his interleading room, closing the door behind himself.

Morgan turned to Leigh. “I’m not tired.”

“Me neither. You up for another round?”

“Fuck, yes,” Morgan breathed. She stripped so fast that she was fairly sure she must look like a blur to an outside observer. As soon as she and Leigh were fully naked, Morgan crawled over Leigh in bed, pulling the covers up over them.

Watching Mike and Jake was sweet. Morgan became convinced within the first three minutes of the meeting that Mike wasn’t the one threatening Leigh. Leigh had been right—Mike didn’t seem to have an aggressive bone in his body. He was soft-spoken with a quiet sense of humor that made Morgan think the two of them could be good friends, given time.

Unfortunately, Mike wasn’t able to give her any more useful information than Jake or Leigh could. It left Morgan frustrated, but more determined than ever to find the person threatening Leigh and get them behind bars.

“I want you to make a list of everyone you’ve dated in the past five years. The likelihood of it being an ex is high.”

“It’ll be a short list. Mike and I have been together for the past seven years.”

“And you’ve never… strayed?”

Thankfully, Jake didn’t get offended by the question. “Never. We’ve been exclusive for all that time, and we’re both happy with keeping things that way.”

“That makes things trickier. Alright, we’ll do it this way. Make a list of everyone you’ve had prolonged contact with over the past year, as well as any incidental contact that stood out for you.”

“I can do that. I’ll get started on it right away.”

“You and Mike should do the same thing, Leigh. I want to cover all my bases. Whoever this person is, he’s interacted with at least one of you before, I’m sure of it. We just need to find that link and follow it straight to him.”
