who killed them. Their spirits just wandered aimlessly, unable to cross
over.
I tried to walk,
stumbled around, started to fall, and then large hands caught me. Feeling
flushed, dizzy, disgusted and aroused all at the same time I really did not
need someone touching me right now. Still too open, I didn’t need anyone else’s
thoughts or feelings floating around in my head.
“So what’d ya
see?” Malone’s hot breath tickled my neck. So close, one arm around me with his
hand at my midsection, his other on my arm to keep me steady. My back rested
lightly against his large, thick, muscle ripped chest. Thankfully, I didn’t get
a read on anything from him personally. I never did. Somewhere along the way he
must have learned how to block, of course many cops did it naturally. For that
I was thankful. The last thing I wanted to see was what went on in Mike
Malone’s head.
Even though I
wouldn’t get any visions from him, I really did not want Malone touching me
right now. His heat added to my own and sent waves of need rolling through me.
Without actually feeling his desires or sensing his thoughts I could feel his
maleness. I took another deep breath to steady myself. Didn’t work, I just
inhaled the manly and not at all unpleasant aroma of Malone. I pulled away and
turned to face him.
“Seduction, sex,
then he killed her. Just like the others.” My voice came out shaky and unsure.
I tried not to look Malone in the eyes because I wasn’t very good at doing that
stony-cop-face thing and shutting down. It wasn’t that hard to avoid his eyes.
He stood so much taller than me, looking him in the eyes meant I had to look
up, which would make me dizzy. Already off balance, I couldn’t risk it getting
any worse. So I glanced sideways at him, avoiding all direct eye contact.
“So she came
then she went.” His sarcastic smile made his eyes twinkle but underneath his
expression grew cold. I knew he hated this bastard but the sexual nature of it
got a rise out of him, and he aimed it directly at me. A way he blew off steam.
Some of the guys goofed around and joked over dead bodies so they didn’t fall
part. Malone liked to mess with me.
I focused on his
smirky smile, all big white teeth and full sensuous lips. Wow, grandma what big
teeth you have. The better to eat you with my dear. Oh yeah, eat me, eat me,
eat me.
Stop it Anwyn,
the magick and murder is messing with your emotions and obviously your mind. “What
an elegant way to put it, Malone, but yes, intense orgasm then she died.”
“So, ah, you
experienced all of it?” he asked with just the slightest hint of a sneer
playing at the corner of his mouth.
Holy witch on
wheels did I feel it. I wasn’t about to tell him that though. “Some, that’s how
it works, you know.” His eyes said clearly he did not believe me completely and
wanted to know more.
He bent forward
and whispered so only I could hear what he said, “You’re looking a bit flushed
and your nipples are hard as hell. I’m thinking this one affected you more than
any other time. If you want… as soon as we’re done here, you and I can go
somewhere and I can help you relieve some of that…pent up desire.” He almost
sounded sincere. And I almost wanted to take him up on that offer.
Almost. My
stomach flip-flopped at the same time my nether regions urged me to go for it. “No
thanks, Malone. I don’t need any help, especially not from you.”
He actually had
the nerve to look insulted and hurt. “Enjoy your battery operated friend then.”
I felt heat
creep up into my already blazing cheeks as he turned and stomped away.
“We’re done here
guys.” He turned to the guys from the coroner’s office. “Bag her, tag her, and
get her outta here before we’re overrun with drunken gawkers. The crowd is
already starting to form and I see media towers up on Saginaw Street.”
Malone looked at
me again. “I’ll need you at the Station tomorrow to give me an official
statement of
