this.”
                  As much as I didn’t want to trust my sister, I was caught between a rock and a hard place. Though I went along with it, a checkmate the last thing I was willing to allow my sister to have.

Moving the Queen
    Audrey
                  I played my brother like a perfect game of chess. Though I recognized he was more than a lowly pawn, I knew the next piece would be. Javier’s shift was a mere few hour away, and I had to dress the part to win his affection. The most important task, however, was not letting on how Darla’s death had disturbed me.
                  It was obvious to me that a tragedy would befall her the very morning that she burst into the scene. Though the sky was radiant with sunlight, all I could see were the heavy clouds looming ahead. Darla was not to blame; circumstance murdered her. I just needed to discover which of us had to do with it.
                  Casually, I glided into the house where I saw the wing to Sebastian’s room had the door close. He must have shut himself in after the previous day’s tragedy. I could only imagine if he witnessed the poor girl’s corpse. Though I wondered if it were he.
    Sebastian was only a gentleman when he wanted to be. In an instant, he could turn from sweet to sour; I’d seen it myself. Darla could have easily become another toy of his that he threw away like yesterday’s news. Still, something about his wailing during her disappearance sent cold shivers down my spine. I knew whether or not he was involved, Sebastian felt the tragedy.
    Upon reaching my room, I swung open the door and found my way to the closet. Quickly, I changed into a red brazier with a matching lace thong. Searching through the bottom of the drawers, I pulled out a miniskirt, which I slipped on my waist. Finally, an oversized jacket with a hood, and a little tease to my hair completed the ensemble.
    With only a half an hour to spare, I raced toward the setting sun above the trees. Birds chirped in the distance as I made my way through the path. Each step along the dirt brought back crisp images of Darla lying in the dirt. She looked like my twin inside of my riding attire. Suddenly, my heart started to race. Taking in a deep breath, I let it out slowly to calm my nerves.
    The sky was nearly dark at the time that I reached the edge of the grounds where the security office was. The previous guard was leaving just as I stepped close to the small brick building. Quickly, I moved to the side and out of sight as the guard climbed into his car. After the engine revved, and he sped away, I turned the corner and pushed into the office.
    The room was small, dark, and cold. There was a single window that faced the incoming main road. Impressively, a hundred small LCD screens lined on nearly each part of the walls. Looking down at his computer screen, I saw Javier sitting with his back to me. On his monitor was a video of a young, naked woman with her legs spread open. Her hair drifted carefully down her breasts as she moaned for the man who came into view.
    “Hello,” I interrupted. Secretly, I was disgusted at the sight of the pornography. Mostly it was because, after seeing Darla, I couldn’t stand the sight of a helpless young woman.
    “Audrey?” Javier asked after he spun around in the padded chair. “This isn’t mine; the old security guard always watches this shit and–“
    “ Shh …” I said stepping closer to Javier. “It’s okay, baby.”
    “It is?” Javier asked with widening eyes. “Do you want me to leave it on for you?”
    With his crisp, masculine jaw line, and deliciously full lips, he would be able to make a woman very happy one day. However, Javier was an ignorant fool, and just another man who thought about his cock more than he did his safety. Still, I needed him to play puppy dog for me. It was the only way that I could discover the truth.
    “Turn it off,” I growled. “I’m going to give you a
