Tawny Taylor Carpe Nocturne 2: Kiss Me, Kill Me - 44 ­
wrapped her arms around his waist and practically melted into him. He smelled so
good, like fresh spring air. He was warm and strong, his voice soothing. The total effect
was heating her insides to a pleasant simmer.
She tipped her head up to look at his face. He was gazing down at her. His
mouth pulled into a gentle smile when their eyes met. Her breath caught in her throat.
“I’m not sure what to expect. I hope we won’t have to find out firsthand.”
Her mood launched into the stratosphere. “Does that mean you’re going to help
Burke?”
“Not exactly.”
That brought her spirits back to earth in a hurry. She was nearly motion sick
from how fast they fell. “Oh.” She let her forehead rest against his chest.
“I must do my job to the best of my ability. New information I’ve discovered has
raised doubts about whether Langton is the murderer, which is why I haven’t stopped
searching for the truth, whatever it might be.” He gently lifted her chin until she was
looking him in the eye again. “I’ve never sent an innocent man to the executioner, no
matter what kind of pressure I felt from my superiors.”
“You’re being pressured?”
“It’s part of the job.”
“In other words, if Burke is innocent, you’ll find the real killer, but if he’s guilty
you won’t stand in the way. He’ll pay for his crimes.”
Miko nodded. “No matter what the consequences to us. The law must come
first.”
That was all the reassurance she could ask for. Miko would find the real killer. It
would be only a matter of time before they were all three together. Complete. And the
aching would ease.
She decided to show her gratitude to her Master in the way she knew best. She
spread her fingers wide, tangling them in his hair and pulled on the back of his head
until his mouth met hers. The kiss was consuming and passionate. Her tongue parried
with his in a fierce battle as their bodies melded together.
