The bedside clock read just after two am. Dear Jesus, tonight had been hellacious. She went straight for the mini-fridge and grabbed a water, downing half of it at once. She’d prefer something stronger, but there wasn’t anything open at this time of night. The police had taken two hours, and now her nerves were fried. Jake walked in behind her, his boots clopping over the thin carpet, and she handed him the bottle of water, still uncapped. “Thanks,” he said, tipping it back. Despite the long night, she could still appreciate the arch of his neck and the curve of his jaw as he leaned back and drained the water bottle. And the way his lips had felt on hers earlier. Amazing. Just watching him gave her nerve endings a strange sort of recharge. Suddenly, she was wide awake and nervous as hell. She wiped her palms on her jeans and paced toward the wall, needing some distance. “You all right?” Jake asked, dropping the empty bottle in the trash can and coming to stand in front of her.
