His climax loomed.
He could yield to it in a heartbeat.
“Please, Sir…?”
“Please what?” he growled, thrusting with gusto. “Say it!”
“Please, Sir, m-may I c-come?”
Her breathless, stammered plea catapulted him into his release. “Now! Come for me now!”
Closing his eyes and savoring the sparking spasms rippling through his limbs, his loud groans filled the room, drowning out her euphoric cries, until utterly drained, he slipped out and collapsed beside her.
His heart pounding in his chest and trying to catch his breath, he felt her snuggle against him. He wanted to sink into the mattress and doze against her glorious body, but he couldn’t allow himself the luxury.
“Where are you going?” she mumbled, grabbing his arm as he tried to leave the bed.
“The van picking up Jim will be here soon, and I need to ask him a couple of questions.”
“Can I—”
“Join me?” he interrupted. “Not this time.”
“I was going to say, can I watch on the camera feed? I have no desire to be in the same room with that bastard ever again.”
“I don’t blame you,” he muttered, walking into the bathroom. “Sure, you can watch, as long as you promise to stay put. I’m sure he’ll tell me what I need to know without much fuss.”
“Jim’s a broken man,” she said softly, climbing from the bed and pulling on her clothes. “By the time he realized he’d made a deal with the devil, it was too late.”
“I’m sorry to say his situation is not uncommon,” Scott remarked as he returned to the room and began to dress. “Drugs are the scourge of the earth. I may not be able to wipe out all the Conchellos of this world, but I sure as hell am going to get as many of them as I can.”
“That’s how I feel.”
“I know. Come on, I’ll set you up in the office.”
“Office?”
“It’s just a small room with a desk, a computer, and a supply closet,” he replied as they walked into the hall. “I haven’t had a chance to show you around this place yet, but there’s not much to see.”
Walking through the kitchen, Elizabeth’s comment echoed through his head.
Jim’s a broken man.
Scott wasn’t sure, but he’d soon find out.
Entering the room next to the one where Jim waited, Scott sat at the desk and opened a laptop.
“You’ll be able to see and hear everything,” he declared, logging into the camera network, “but be prepared.”
“For what?” she asked as he stood up and she slipped into the chair.
“I think Jim is a very good actor,” he replied, opening a cupboard and retrieving a balaclava.
“You don’t believe what he told me?”
“Very little.”
Pulling the mask over his head and leaving the room, Scott was determined to provoke Jim into revealing his true nature. Though he’d presented a remorseful, tragic figure to Elizabeth, Scott wasn’t convinced. Standing outside the door, he steeled himself for what he believed was about to happen, then strode in with his shoulders squared.
