The Last Resort (A Kate Jasper Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
Even in the dark I could tell the figure in the doorway was menacingly tall and muscular. At least it couldn’t be Paul Beaumont. Paul was small and slender, the guy in the doorway was huge. He looked as big as my sweetie, Wayne. I centered myself and stepped cautiously forward until I was close enough to see the face that went with the body. It was a scarred and pitted face, dominated by an enormous cauliflower nose and brows so low I could barely glimpse the sorrowful brown eyes peering out. Hot damn! The guy wasn’t just as big as Wayne. He was Wayne! “I’m sorry,” Wayne growled softly. “Couldn’t stay away. Kid at the desk told me which building you were in.” The leap I made into his arms would have probably knocked over a smaller man. But Wayne just moved with it and lifted me into the air. Then he pulled me to his chest. I put my arms around his neck and held tight, my feet dangling above the ground. “It’s okay?” he inquired, his low voice muffled by my hair. “Okay?”
