she studied the red sash. Her body hid his hands
from Eric. If she untied Bruce, would he help her or
work against her?
You know, Bruce, I m going to miss you, Eric
said in between the rustling sound of removing his
clothing.
She glanced at Bruce s face to read his reaction.
He licked his lips, and a horny grin marked his
mouth. I agree, Eric. I always enjoyed our time
together.
Sarah tried not to vomit.
You always picked the best piece of ass at the
Syndetic compound, Eric continued. And I could
count on you to share or provide me a release.
Footsteps met the floor behind her back. The
stretchy lace slipped from her fingers. The knot
didn t budge.
That s far enough. Jake s voice washed over
her in a wave of relief. She turned to see the gun in
152

his hand pointed at the large armed man between
them.
Eric lunged forward and knocked her onto the
bed and across Bruce s abdomen.
Back off, or I ll
Oh, yes, Sarah. Now suck me? Bruce lifted his
hips like he thought she d comply and bucked
beneath her while Eric rammed his gun against her
side.
Bruce s putrid scent hit her nasal passages, and
she jerked back to avoid contact with his cock. Her
head slammed into Eric. The crack of his jaw
bounced around her head with the pain of the
impact. The weight of his body eased off her. She
turned to see Jake ram Eric against the wall.
The man groaned at the abuse. All business,
Jake didn t say a word as he secured the cuffs onto
Eric s wrists.
Sarah caught the feral glint in his eyes when he
threw her black dress at her. Thank you, Jake. For
saving me.
Don t thank me yet. We still have some
unfinished business to take care of. He turned to
Bruce still lying prone across the bed. But you
might want to dress. The police are due to arrive any
moment now.

Jake stood by the bedroom door listening to
Sarah and Police Chief Perkins talk. They both sat
on the couch going over the facts. Thanks to Perkins,
the local police weren t taking Sarah to the main
police station with the other two men.
The soft glow of Sarah s raven hair drew Jake s
gaze. Tension mounted between his shoulders. He
couldn t keep his eyes off her, not after finding her
with two naked men. He d heard everything they d
said. His self control stretched to the breaking point,
he d wavered close to killing Eric and Bruce for the
153

abuse they d planned for Sarah.
But now, with them secure in the custody of the
police, he couldn t help but worry about her. Her
crisp apple scent revealed her inability to take much
more. Her mind and body required a release from all
her pent up emotions. He opened his stance to ease
the pressure building in his loins, the ache to make
love stronger than ever. He clenched his fists at his
sides and resolved to never let her out of his sight
again.
We dropped the murder charges, but you ll need
to tell us what happened today. Perkins patted
Sarah s hand and stood up. You can come in
tomorrow. I know you re exhausted right now.
Perkins took several steps toward the door then
stopped and addressed Jake. She s lucky you caught
up with her when you did, or this case would ve had
a different ending.
Sarah shifted uneasily and glanced over her
shoulder then lowered her head. She hadn t said
more than two words to him since he told her the
police was coming. His arms ached with the
impatient urge to hold her close, to drive thoughts of
anything but him from her mind.
Yes. And of the two guys you have in custody,
one would be dead, and the other would ve gotten
away with murder. Jake shuddered. And what
would they have done to Sarah before Eric killed
her?
Not a happy possibility, if you think about it.
Perkins strolled to the door. Jake followed glad to rid
the cabin of the last of the police.
Don t be too hard on her, Jake. I know she
scared you with the situation she put herself in, but
she did find us answers. A little extreme in her
method, but she achieved her goal. Perkins stepped
onto the porch. Think now, the Dragon Center won t
have to worry about Cornerman being re-elected.

Black Dragon s Heart
After this mess, the ex-representative will be lucky
to be allowed to stay in the country.
Hey, I guess. Jake said his fare-wells and
watched the police chief walk through the dark to
his vehicle.
Jake turned back into the cabin. The door to
washroom clicked close. He fought the conflicting
emotions churning in his gut. Not only had she
almost gotten herself killed, but she d also left him
tied to the couch. He needed relief from the ache in
his soul. He d come too close to losing her and
wanted to reconnect with her in the most basic of
ways. He walked toward the washroom unwilling to
wait any longer.

The cleaning wash of the misting stall didn t
help. She couldn t force herself to talk to Jake. He
might have saved her from Bruce and Eric, but she
still felt dirty.
Her mind replayed the scene in the bedroom.
She hadn t planned to be caught in such a mess,
but....
The results of her actions sifted through her
