“Alright. By the way… I’m looking forward to Round Five.”
“We could go in and start right now,” I said, jerking my head back towards my room. “I could be the ring girl and the opponent.”
“Mmmm… I like that.”
“Ding, ding,” I said, imitating the sound of the bell.
“I thought you wanted to drop the boxing metaphor,” he smirked.
“You convinced me there might be… benefits to keeping it going,” I said seductively.
He grinned. “I got to get out of here while I still have my wits about me.”
“Call me.”
“Just shoot me a text as soon as you get up, and I’ll call as soon as I can.”
“Okay.”
He smiled one last time, gunned the motor, and was gone.
I watched him disappear down the road under the streetlamps.
My heart felt heavy and bruised as I turned away.

Iopened the door to my room and stepped inside. My mind was swirling. Thoughts about Jack… about the Midnight Riders… about Ali… about what the last two hours meant for my investigation…
About all that hot, glorious sex.
My lower parts throbbed with the memory. I savored the ache he’d left behind, because it reminded me of every thrust. Every second he’d been inside me. Every ripple and burst of orgasmic bliss.

As I did, the door slammed shut on its own.
No – not on its own.
Someone else had closed it.
In the complete darkness, a gloved hand clamped across my mouth and something cold, hard, and cylindrical shoved into my back.
A gun.
“Scream and it’ll be the last thing you do,” a male voice said. “Do you understand?”
I nodded, terrified.
I knew a good bit of Krav Maga.
Not enough to get away from a gun pointed at my kidneys.
If there hadn’t been the gun, I might have stood a chance.
