Third Eye P.I. Chapter 55: Cassiopeia
After breakfast, Mom drove Cassie home to Eryn's farm. Margo Woods always carried herself with an air of confidence that rarely got ruffled, but today, Margo seemed agitated and when she was agitated, she wouldn't be deterred. Suddenly, Cassie regretted the half hour drive, in which she would be at her mother's mercy."Cassiopeia," Mom started. Cassie rolled her eyes, bracing herself for the impending lecture that was cued by the use of her much despised and apparently non-birth name. "You need to make some reconsiderations where your career is concerned. I hate that you've inherited your father's gift, but having it means you need to be careful and your line of work.""Mom.""Let me finish," Mom said. "I know you love your job as a private investigator, and I also know you've lost so much in recent weeks. I just want you to think about it. You've always laughed when I voice my concerns, but your job is dangerous, and I don't want anything more to happen to you or anyone else."
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 56: Sneak Attack
Being back at the farm, meant she would have to face Ben, but it couldn't be helped. It saddened her that they wouldn't get a chance to explore their feelings for each other, but she knew it would be for the best. She just didn't know how to broach the subject and didn't know if she should since they agreed to keep things casual. Thankfully, Ben was racing in Calgary for the weekend, so she had time to think about it.Closing her eyes, she welcomed the heat of the sun on her face, enjoying what could be one of the last warm days, before winter cursed them all with mounds of snow and bitter cold. Shaking her head, she erased all negative thoughts, so she could enjoy the ride and just be. The wind in her hair whisked away her worries, and she felt rejuvenated. Gunner slowed his pace and turned his head, stretching his nose back for Cassie to stroke. She obliged and followed it up with a neck scratch. Digging her heels in, she urged Gunner forward, and they spent the next hour whippi
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 57: The Reprieve
Ben took her face in his hands, guiding her lips to his. Commonsense, along with the world around them, spun out of focus as his tongue probed her mouth in the most demanding kiss she could ever imagine. Her insides twirled with joy and her inner slut took control, demanding she wrap her legs around Ben and hold on for dear life. Sure, a tiny voice inside her head whispered for her to stop. Ben loved Kali, but desire muzzled that meddling bitch's voice. If she couldn't count on a future with Ben, she would at least have this. Just one more night. She could totally fight the stronghold desire had over her, but she didn't want to. Why should she? Ben turned, backing her up against the truck. Leaping up, she wrapped her legs around his waist, inviting all of him. He ground his hardness into her, pinning her against the truck while teasing her, taunting her, kissing her slow, reveling in every morsel. When she was dizzy with lust, he released her and stepped back, grasping her han
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 58: Trapped
Stephanie Smith turned out to be the perfect lawyer, and she wasn't a man, so Cassie wouldn't run the risk of yet another ridiculous attraction she couldn't control. The papers would be served to Greg early next week, and after a year of separation, everything would be finalized. Stephanie respected Cassie's need to keep things as civil as possible and promised to remain subdued unless Greg contested. He wouldn't because he was in love with Sara, or so he thought. As crazy as it seemed, Cassie hoped Greg legitimately loved Sara, because if Sara inadvertently persuaded him her way, Cassie couldn't imagine how to handle it. She shouldn't go there, but the not knowing was haunting her even though she no longer wanted a life with Greg, a life that imploded just weeks ago when she caught him shagging Sara.Breathing deeply, Cassie closed her eyes and pushed thoughts of the two of them together into the back of her mind. Thank God for meditation and deep breathing because if she couldn'
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 59: Missing Husband
When Cassie stepped into the office, Randy pulled up a chair beside his, so they would both be facing Tricia. She sighed inwardly at the thought of sitting so close to the fire, determined to conceal her desire for him while maintaining an air of professionalism. "So, Mrs. Schmidt, how can we help you?" Randy asked."Jason is missing. He didn't come home from work on Wednesday, and I haven't been able to contact him. His phone goes straight to voicemail, and his emails haven't been read.""I know, the police stopped by and requested the case file," Randy replied.Cassie raised an eyebrow. Why didn't he mention this sooner? Tricia glared at Randy, sniffing back tears for effect. "Yeah, well, thanks a lot. I went to them for help, and now they think he walked out on me, but I'm here to tell you that is not the case. Maybe, he'd leave me, but he would never leave Chase. He would never leave his son!" She choked on the last words as tears began to flow. Tricia patted her eye
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 60: The New Hire
They left Tricia in Randy's office, closing the door behind them. The look Randy gave Cassie indicated how fucked up the situation seemed. They didn't have a chance to chat about it because Karly emerged from Daniel's office, stunning Cassie to the core."You have got to be kidding me," she muttered. "I shouldn't have come in today.""Nonsense. You have perfect timing. Karly's our new hire.""What?" Cassie hissed, tossing him the death glare. It was as close as she could get to punching him. Pulling it together with new speed, she plastered a smile on her face as Karly approached."Cassie," Karly said with a giggle. "It's all good. Daniel and I worked things out, and I have you to thank. I loved being a police officer, but I love Daniel more. This way I can have the best of both worlds. Randy has been so kind and generous. I'll be working as receptionist, and once I get my bearings, I'll be taking on cases.""Umm." Cassie didn't have the words. The last time she saw Karly, Ca
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 61: Some Secrets Should Be Kept
Karly's hostility was felt and reciprocated. Her presence got under Cassie's skin, but she didn't quite get it. It was almost as if Cassie wanted Daniel for herself, even though she didn't want him that way when he wasn't touching her. She wasn't one to be territorial, yet here she was feeling like she needed to piss on a tree and mark her turf. One thing she knew for sure: things were going to be awkward as ass if she couldn't convince Karly that her interest in Daniel was purely professional. How do you convince someone of something when you can't even convince yourself? What if Eryn was right and there was something between them? Was there?They walked a full block before either spoke. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence, more like they were both trapped in their own heads and didn't know where to start."I don't think you should ever tell Karly," Cassie finally said."I can't keep lying to her.""If she finds out that you saw her rape and didn't act, you'll be history. I
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 62: Man in the Woods
Cassie arrived home to an empty house. A text from Eryn stated she'd gone into the city to see Jack, and Cassie would need to feed the horses supper and breakfast. A smile curved her lips as she thought about how happy Jack made Eryn. After what Kevin Lanoway did to her, it was nice to see her being treated well. She deserved the best. Jack Brady was about as close to the best as any guy could get. Not only did he look like a Greek god, but he had a badass job as world's hottest karate instructor. Cassie started taking his classes to keep an eye on Tricia when her husband, Jason, believed her to be having an affair with Jack, who was also teaching their son, Chase. Jack almost busted Cassie and Eryn watching his house, but Eryn saved the day. It turned out that Jack was innocent, and he and Eryn hooked up because of the case, and they were now practically inseparable. "At least something good came out of that fucked up case," Cassie mumbled.She also learned to like karate.
