Jessie watched Justice North from the far corner of the room and bit her lip. Shereally wanted to work up the nerve to approach him. He’d been on the news often buthe appeared even taller and better-looking in person.Not too many people intimidated her but the man who had been appointed theleader of the New Species Organization by his own people was one of those rare few.She respected strength and courage, something he seemed to have in abundance.She debated the wisdom of having a conversation with him. Justice gave orders toher bosses and held the power to change some of the task-force policies that she didn’tagree with. The chance of finding another opportunity to have a chat with him was slimto none. She wasn’t allowed to attend briefings her team leader held with the tallSpecies leader. Her opinion was irrelevant to him but the issues were important.She hesitated, considerin

Jessie cleaned up their dinner dishes and put them on the bottom empty shelf of thecart. She lifted the lids on the four smaller dishes to identify the desserts when shepulled them out and set them on top. She knew a lot of the Species weren’t fond ofchocolate and ignored the fudge cake to study the other dishes. One was a mixed-fruitconcoction piled on what appeared to be angel food cake. The other two were pieces ofapple and pumpkin pie. She glanced at Justice for a moment, trying to decide which onehe’d enjoy more. She picked up the fruit and the apple pie and grabbed a spoon beforeapproaching him.He must have sensed her behind him. He turned and cupped the bottom of thephone to mute his voice. “I’m sorry.”“Which one?” She held them out.He smiled and accepted the fruit. She had guessed right. She held out the spoon buthe didn’t have a han

Justice read the note Jessie had left on the bed. He’d gotten hung up with the pressby the reporters but had hurried back to his room looking forward to being with her.He read the note again, understood she’d gotten an emergency call from the task forceafter they’d gotten a lead on a New Species female and she’d had to leave. Tim Obertohad sent someone to pick her up. He snarled and crumpled up the note in his fist.Justice pulled out his cell phone and froze. What would he do? Call the head of thetask force and complain that he’d ordered Jessie to work when Justice wanted to climbback into bed with her? He cursed and lowered his cell. Jessie would never forgive himif he did that. Human women were private about their sex lives and independent. Hedoubted she would want the task force and the people she worked for to know she’dbeen in his bed. She’d also possibly re

Justice grimly adjusted his tie for the hundredth time as he glanced at his securityteam. Humans stared at them as they entered the hospital lobby but it wasn’t unusual.Six large Species males, all dressed in black uniforms but one who was a nice businesssuit, was bound to draw a lot of attention. Justice ran his nervous hands down his darkgray jacket as he paused in front of the nurses’ station. The female lifted her chin andher mouth dropped open, nearly competing with her wide-eyed gaze.He tried not to intimidate the woman by speaking in a soft tone. “We are here to seeJessie Dupree. She was brought in as a shooting victim.”The woman snapped her mouth closed and swallowed hard. “You’re New Species,aren’t you?”Justice refrained from growling and flashing fangs. He didn’t want to carry on aconversation with the nurse. He didn’t want to

Jessie closed the door and held the large bag of takeout food from the NSOcafeteria. She hadn’t eaten all day and the smell of dinner made her stomach rumble.She turned on lights to study the living room, debating whether to eat or explore. Herstomach rumbled again, settling the debate.The couch was plush and comfy as she sat, settled the bag on the table before herand opened it. The scent of prime rib made her groan. Justice had to have ordered it forher since they hadn’t asked her what she wanted. At least she hoped he’d donesomething that thoughtful. For all she knew, prime rib could have been the day’sspecial.She’d gotten to spend time with Tiny and Halfpint again. That had been great.She’d always believed her job rewarding since joining the task force but nothingreaffirmed that more than seeing the changes in the two. They’d been frightened,i
