“Don’t

worry

about

it,”

he

said

through

her

helmet

speaker.

“It’s

not

after

us,

but

we

should

get

back

to

the

boat.

It’s

not

safe

to

tempt

fate.”

She

nodded

her

agreement

and

was

about

to

swim

back

toward

the

ship

when

Creighton’s

hand

stopped

her.

“Aren’t

you

going

to

take

a

picture?

You

may

never

get

a

chance

to

see

another

shark

this

close.”

“I

don’t

want

it

to

see

us,”

she

whispered

and

heard

the

now

familiar

chuckle

through

her

helmet.

“It

won’t

hear

you

even

if

you

whisper,”

he

teased.

“Take

the

picture.”

Her hands trembled as she drew the camera up, and she realized she was holding her breath again as she snapped

the

picture. The shark continued to swim

with

the rest of the

fish,

not paying the least bit of attention to the silent spectators.

“Are

you

ready

to

go

back?”

Creighton

asked, watching as the camera drifted in the water by the strap holding it around her wrist when

she

let go of it.

Her legs were shaking, and she could feel the adrenalin burning within her veins as she nodded, feeling his hand in hers again as he

pulled

her

along

beside

him.

She

glanced

behind

them

several

times

to

make

certain

the

shark

wasn’t

following,

but

it

had

swum

further

out

to

sea

without

even

noticing

their

presence.

She inhaled a deep steady breath and

glanced

beside

her

to

Creighton, who

was

watching

her every move like a panther stalking its prey, causing her heart to begin racing within her chest.

Her smile was shy and timid, and she could hear the

soft

chuckle fill her helmet once again.

Once

they

reached

the

ship,

Ruelle

reached

down

and

pulled

her

up

by

the

straps

across

her

shoulders

as

Creighton

lifted

her

around

the

waist, his dark eyes smiling at her through his visor. It was a strange sensation to have his hands on her, and she felt their heat burning through the rubber wet suit. She

was

thankful

once

again

that

she

had

lost

those

fifteen

pounds as she was hoisted out of the water.

She

quickly

stripped

off

the

mask

as

Creighton

pulled

himself

out

of

the

water

to

sit

across

from

her.

“Have

fun,

Mademoiselle?”

Ruelle

asked

pulling

the

tank

off

her

shoulders.

“It

was

awesome,

thank

you…er,

merci,”

she

corrected

herself.

“Thanks

to

Creighton,

I

got

some

great

pictures.”

“Oui,

Crey

is

a

great

leader.

I

am

very

happy

he

joined

us.”

“So

am

I,”

the

man

in

question

said

as

he

looked

up

from

his

seat,

now

void

of

his

air

tank

and

diving

gear.

Ruelle

laughed,

patting

the

younger

man

on

the

shoulder.

“I

leave

you

to

finish

helping

Mademoiselle

Dennis,”

he

said

with

a

wink.

Sandra

glanced

up

just

in

time

to

see

the

exchange,

then felt the sting of color edge its way up her neck and into her face.

“Now

all

is

aboard,” Ruelle continued. “We

go

back,

no?”

Ruelle

walked

away

as

he

made

his

way

toward

the

glass

cabin.

Two

deck

hands

began

to

gather

the

gear

as

Sandra

pulled

the

wet

suit

off,

slipping

her

shirt

back

across

her

bikini

top.

Creighton

watched

while

she

slipped

her

dark-blue

shorts

over

her

bikini bottoms

and

smiled

a strange, almost inviting grin when she caught him.

How

could

anyone

be

this

handsome,

with

such

a

perfectly

sculpted

straight

nose,

full

kissable

lips

and

dark

seductive

eyes

and

perfect

smile? There was enough of him to make two normal men. Something

in

his

manner,

assured

her

he

was

vividly

aware

of

the

effect

his

appearance

had

on

the

opposite

sex,

and

that

he knew she had been checking him out. A strange sensation began to caress her insides, a mixture of heat and tingling that seemed to tug at her stomach.

“Shall

we?”

he

asked

her, waving

his

hand

back

toward

the

seats.

Sandra nodded as she preceded

him

down

the

narrow aisle

to

the

empty

bench

where

they

had

sat

before, feeling the heat of his eyes on her backside.

Everyone

was

talking

very

animated

about

their

experience

and

events

of

their

afternoon as she sat

looking

out

across

the

crystal

blue

sea

and

sighed, a contented grin caressing her lips.

So

far,

Cote

d’Azur

had proven

to

be

a

very

interesting

place

to

visit.

  • TRUST ME   Chapter 420

    Sandra hung up the phone with a slam, then glanced to her grandparents who were sitting at the kitchen table. She was starting to get angry with all the rejections and dead-end avenues. She called Davies and told him she wanted him to get the plane ready to go to France, only to be told the police had restricted his flying. They were concerned that whomever it was that had killed her husband would try and sabotage the jet.She was getting frustrated and felt like she was being held back. If she didn’t know better, she would think she was being placed under lockdown. She could understand the police’s concern, but she had more men around her then they had at Fort Knox, and she would be willing to take all of them with her if she needed to.“I can’t leave the house, I can’t go to France, I can’t even gather eggs,” she grumbled as she joined the older couple. “What am I supposed to do? I can’t sit here and wait until doomsday to find out what happened to my husband.”“Honey, you’re going

    The room was warm as the setting sun shone through the blinds. Two detectives sat on the sofa, watching as the man continued to pace the floor. Trying to keep him calm was growing increasingly harder with each hour.Creighton could only assume the horror his family was going through, not to mention Sandra. They had been having difficulties, but this made all of that seem trivial. He had to call her, he had to contact her somehow and let her know he was alive, but the police were refusing to allow him the chance. They had to keep him concealed for the time being, though it was steadily becoming impossible. The man was acting like a caged animal, anxiously trying to find a means of escape.“How much longer do we have to sit here?” he growled, looking to those gathered around.“We need you to remain patient for a little longer,” a bald-headed man told him. “Monsieur Ashford, we understand what you’re going through…”“Like hell you do,” Creighton snapped. “I have a pregnant wife at home w

    “I know she’ll be happy when it’s over,” Emma said, returning to the room, her eyes red from the tears she’d been wiping away. “She can’t let Brandon go to school, and she has to keep the children inside instead of letting them go out to play.”“I’m sure they are going stir crazy,” Cathy said with a frown. “Especially Grace. That little girl is used to having the freedom of the farm to run and play.”“The only good thing is the weather,” William told them. “It’s been really wet, and she doesn’t like getting her dresses dirty.”“Sounds like her aunt,” Andrew said with a soft chuckle.“Maybe we should take this meeting over to my sister’s,” Cathy suggested with a sideways grin.“Let me call Derek and Kristin,” William said, standing and walking to the phone on the wall. “They wanted to know what you found out.”“Just have them meet us at Sandra’s,” Andrew told him. “We can discuss this all there.”“I thought Sabrina and Irena would be here,” Cathy said, looking at Emma who was wrapping

    Parker and Harvey held off the reporters for as long as they could alone, then eventually had to call NHT’s security. Within a few short hours, there were enough burly looking men to scare off anyone trying to get near the house. Sandra kept her children inside, though it really wasn’t difficult. The rain had eased by supper, but just like the past several days, it picked up again this morning.Max growled as he laid of the entry. The noise of cameras clicking, and the soft hum of voices mingled among the breezes of the day. She had tried to watch television, but every station was reporting on the accident. Eventually, she had no choice but to surrender and put on Grace’s favorite princess movie. At least it kept them from listening to those who insisted that there was no hope in finding any answers this soon.Sandra drew a deep breath as she wiped the moisture from her forehead. She had decided to keep herself busy and baked two apple pies, along with nearly a hundred sugar cookies.

    “No, it’s about assuming you knew what I would want. You did this, claiming it was for us when it was for you. You can’t stand the idea that your little sister has something you never would. It was bad enough when I felt like I was competing with Creighton for your attention, but now I’m watching you compete with Sandra for the mother of the year award.”“Stop comparing me to Sandra!” Cathy screamed. “It’s not my fault she’s perfect. She’s always been everyone’s favorite. I can’t tell you how many boyfriends I’ve dumped after I found out they were using me to get close to her. I didn’t want Creighton, but after he chose her over me, it made me angry. I was competing with her again, and she was too stupid to realize it. He chose that simple, no makeup, no fuss girl over me. She shares his bed, when I’m a better lover then she would ever be. She has his money, his admiration, your parents’ admiration, even my grandparents enjoy spending time with her over me. She even has a perfect body

    “Maybe Michelle heard from him,” the boy said hopefully.“I haven’t spoken with her, but I want to call in the morning. She may know something more than the police do.”The two were silent for a long time as they considered their own thoughts, until Sandra realized the tea was gone. She looked to Brandon who looked like he was finally able to fall asleep, then stood and took the cups to the sink.“Come on, son,” she told him, wrapping her arm around his shoulders. “Let’s see if we can get some sleep.”“Mum, can I come sleep with you?” Brandon asked once they reached the second floor of their house.Sandra smiled and hugged the boy, nodding as he looked up to her.“You can sleep on your daddy’s side,” she told him. “Just don’t tell him I let you in our bed. He may get jealous.”Brandon smiled as he walked with her into the bedroom. Sandra helped him between the covers and tucked him in, then left to check on Grace. The house was silent and soft snores of her little girl could be heard
