“The truth?”
“Yeah, that I was investigating McQuarry’s death.”
“From what angle?”
“I was vague on that point, but they took the bait without much more needed.”
“Interesting. All right, what time?”
“In an hour with the widow, lunchtime with the mistress.”
Scarlett nodded with approval. “Good. Let’s make it happen. Time is ticking.”
Grabbing her coat, she swung it around her shoulders but was surprised when Xander pulled her close by her lapels.
“What are you doing?” she asked, wary.
“Just reminding you what’s between us,” he answered, brushing his lips against hers, igniting heat with the slow slide of his mouth. She didn’t need reminding. Her mouth opened and his tongue accepted the invitation, dancing with hers. A dangerous fire burned between them but they didn’t have the time to play. It took extreme force of will to break the kiss but she did. Xander released her and she left everything unsaid, choosing to spin on her heel and walk out the door.
