. You always have amused me. The Jicard family is interested in taking over and the amulet in question is within reach.Thepower to hold the throne? Logan could tell by his actions he was correct. Ah.I m right.Wellthen soon we ll take Aleksandr down and you can have all you ve desired. You are not to touch Aleksandr.Stunned, Logan inched back and stared at the vampire.While he was well aware the mancould easily strike him down, rage built in his system. You know exactly why I want himdead!Lifting Logan s chin with a single finger he leaned in and pressed his lips across Logan s. You ll get all that you want.Have I ever denied you?Shuddering, Logan hated the control the vampire had over him. No, but I don t understand.Palming his chest Logan pushed his lover back. I assure you this is all about taking down Aleksandr but there are some things you don tknow and I m not able to tell you.However, you will have a prize.Moving away from the monster s grip, Logan eyed his haunted look. What do you want?  Jax Steele.Narrowing his eyes, he was more than curious. Isn t he simply a cause and effect of thekills?Smiling, the vampire eased back and folded his arms. There are many things at work here,dear boy.Everything was calculated carefully for this moment in time.Jax Steele is moreimportant than you know. What if you don t get the amulet? I will.The piece is close.Closer than you think.While Logan knew he would be damned if his thoughts read, hemasked the words as he was taught so well to do.He needed time to sort out what to do. Verywell.I have it under good authority new and very creative photographs are being producedtonight. His minion knew only that there were other vampires in town and while his master wasaware of his choice, he didn t know all the pertinent details and Logan was going to make sureand keep some things secret for as long as he was able, risking what he knew of as life but if hecalculated everything carefully, Logan could quite possibly win a kingdom. You made the deal.Very good.Then I have my work cut out for me.Logan sighed. What do you want me to do with Jax?He smiled and licked his lips. Aleks has requested a meeting as part of the bargain.My guessis that the good detective will be with him.You re going to make that meeting.Set it up at thegallery. And how am I going to take him? By enlisting the help of your little minion you hold so dearly.Give him this. Handing himthe dagger from the first kill, he grinned. This should take down the good detective.I want thisback.Nodding, Logan smirked as he grabbed the jeweled piece.First things first, he would captureFelicity and then he d have enough power to perhaps overthrow a Kingdom. Chapter FourteenJax had more reservations than anything in going to see Aleksandr and on this night every cellin his body ached to the point he was unsure he could handle pretending.Jax had stared into themirror for what seemed like hours after his shower shaking even as the steam from the hot waterforced thick moisture and heat into the small room.Aspirin hadn t curtailed the constant ache inhis joints and he had been popping tums for hours to calm his stomach.However nothing workedto cease his ragged nerves.The night and the photo shoot was going to take everything out ofhim.He was too tired to think it through.Then again, Jax was too exhausted to know what hewas doing. All right.It s time to figure this out.Dressed in tight black linen pants, a cerulean blue silk shirt and cowboy boots, he stoodshivering even in the heat of the bathroom.Sighing, Jax gazed at his haunted reflection.Whatwould come of the photo event? Would it be the bait they needed? Strolling into the bedroom,his heart was heavy.As he picked through his jewelry box, selecting the only expensive piece heowned, a Rado watch, his thoughts drifted to years gone by.It had been the last gift that Paulahad given him and he almost never wore it.It wasn t that it reminded him of her as much as itreminded him of what he was missing in his life.Perhaps it was time to begin a new andremember what had made him the man he was in the first place.Sitting on the edge of the bed, he held his head in his hands and remembered.Hot tearstrickled down his face for the first time in several years.The boy had been barely three and fromwhat he knew of the family a happy child.Investigating a series of gang related murders that hadturned into ugly slaughters meant to send a message; he and his team had been close to catchingthe street thugs who had turned several neighborhoods into a war zone.The rival gang hadgunned down six members in two separate gangs killing two innocent bystanders and maimingthree others in their five-week rampage.Four of the victims had been mutilated almost beyondrecognition.Jax had almost caught one and from that ugly night as he screamed at the suspect,raging in a way he d never before, the tides had changed.During the last week that member had taunted Jax, following him and threatening his family.Jax had been forced to send his wife and daughter to his mother s house and even then, theasshole had almost killed his mother while trying to kidnap his daughter.For that Paula had never forgiven him.When Paula had fled, refusing to tell Jax where they were going, Jax hadturned to the bottle in his rage grow to the point of carelessness.The single lead he had snappedup with a vengeance ignoring his Sergeant and everything that was human inside.He wasdetermined to nail the fucker.Instead, a baby had been stolen away from his mother [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
