“How did you put it again? He is someone that is local and probably has been local his whole life. He knows how to blend in and most likely works a job that we see him doing every single day. He also knows where the cameras are and is aware of the time of day that would be optimal to leave a body without being discovered. Whoever did this is highly intelligent and someone that is taking pride in the fact that we, as the FBI, haven’t found him yet when he is right under our nose. Maybe he has even shaken our hands.”

I smiled as her eyes went wide. I could see the pulse jump in her throat as the pieces clicked into place.

“I have to say you were quite eloquent and the only one that was correct in everything you said. And I love that you think my work is beautiful.” I smiled wide. “I take immense pride in what I do, and I know that you’ll be the most beautiful addition yet to my collection.”

Her mouth dropped open but quickly snapped into action as she spun on her heels, poised to run, or so I thought. Instead, Sunshine made to grab for my crowbar hanging on the wall, and I gripped her arm tight before she could touch it. I also wasn’t expecting the hard elbow that connected with the side of my face. It hit me with enough force to make me stagger back a step, but I kept a firm hold of her arm, forcing her to come with me. She turned in my hold, and I managed to tighten my abs just before she kicked out and caught me in the gut.

She spun in the long jacket pulling it from her body and began to strike me as quick as a cobra. She landed a left jab, a right jab, and then a left one again. Stumbling back, I stopped as my ass came into contact with the car parked in the garage. I saw the kick coming and managed to move just enough so she caught me above the knee rather than it being the debilitating blow it would’ve been.

Each hit she landed was getting me riled up, but not angry. I was getting turned on. My cock was rock hard inside my jeans, and I had to suck in a deep breath to steady the surge of strange desire that slammed through me.

Her eyes glanced down for just a second, but I knew she noticed how excited I was.

“That’s it Sunshine. Keep hitting me, I like it.” I licked the blood from my lip and then laughed as her fist came again with a yell, but this time I caught her wrist.
