"You'll live, guess what?"

"What princess?"

"Someone here has been digging into those accounts or trying to access them anyway."

"What do you mean, I thought we decided those were smoke screens to throw us off the scent?"

"Yes Donovan but it's still money. How many people you know of the criminal element who can deny the lure of money?"

"You've got a point, but it still doesn't make sense for this person to set up those accounts and then go after them this early in the game, something's not adding up for me. Only because I don't think our doer is that stupid."

"What if we have more than one doer? What if your mumblings have been right and you know who is somehow involved?"

She's so cute, I may or may not have forbidden her to ever mention Carter's name again in this lifetime while I was buried deep inside her last night, or should I say one of the times I'd been buried deep inside her?

"My gut says he is, it's too much of a coincidence that someone associated with him ends up here in a location known only to locals.

What was he doing in the area? Nothing we've found so far suggests there were any official dealings going on in the Cove, so it has to be something else.

Either our VIC was involved in something illegal that got him killed, or he was set up.

Either way, the answers are here, we just have to keep digging until we find something. Speaking of which, have you been thinking of what you want to do next?"

"About what?"

"You know about what, about your job." I held my breath as I awaited her answer.

I hadn't come right out and told her I didn't want her going back to work.

Well, maybe some of the things I've said in the past few weeks said it for me. But as much as I hated the idea of her putting herself in danger for a story, I couldn't very well snatch her dreams away now could I?

"I thought we were going to discuss that when this was all over?"

"Did we decide that? I don't remember, by the way mom said she called you to discuss wedding plans."

"Yes we're getting together this afternoon so no sneak attacks, both our mothers will be here."

"Damn, I had been giving an afternoon quickie some thought."

"You're a horn dog Donovan Chase."

"Your point?"

She got way too quiet on the other line for a second, before she answered me in her soft voice.

"I'm sorry I wasted so much time, sorry I didn't come to you sooner."

Fuck, maybe I could get the mothers to come over later. I needed to hold her, to be with her. Those heartfelt words, spoken so softly, made me want to wrap myself around her and never let go.

"You're here now baby that's all that matters." I felt like crying, I guess I’d joined the ranks of the imbecile. My dad had always warned me that this day would come, because I use to tease him about being wrapped around mom’s pinky.

"About my job...I think I might want to stay close to home. I can't very well go traipsing all over the globe after we're married now can I?"

Thank you-thank you-thank you. I fist pumped the air and tried to keep my mega watt smile down to a minimum, though she couldn't see me. I'm sure this hadn't been an easy decision for her to make.

"I'm going to spend the rest of my life making sure you don't regret that decision baby."

“You already have.”

Well shit. We stayed on the line a little longer before I had to get back to work.

Since she was going to be busy this afternoon, I decided to tug at this latest string.

If someone here was involved, then I had to start looking at my neighbors.

There weren’t too many that I would suspect of shady dealings, but you never know do you?

***

By end of day I had a list of names to start with, but I decided to table it for later.

Right now I wanted to spend some time with my girl. I wasn’t about to let a little thing like murder get in the way of our new beginning.

Chapter 25

DONOVAN

“Okay you’ve had your fun, now it’s time to work.” I’d just rolled away from her; our juices hadn’t even dried yet.

“I’m on break.” I rolled onto my stomach and buried my head in the pillows. She was a little tigress off her leash since she’d got me to fuck her without holding back.

It amazes me that she can fit all that passion in that tiny package, but somehow she manages it.

Her hand came down on my ass when she couldn’t get me to move. “We have to have this done before our wedding, which if our moms have their way, will be in a few short months.”
