DESCRIPTION
Everyone needs a
hero.
That’s what
Detective Molly Masters tells me. “What we need,” she says, “what the whole
world needs,” she pleads, “is a
champion.”
The only thing I
want to talk about with Molly Masters is how I’d like to make her scream my
name when I push her up against a wall, slide my hand up her thigh, and live
out my wildest fantasies.
“Someone who
will fight against injustice,” she says.
I’ll fight
against anything you want, honey. Just come a little closer.
“Someone who
will stand tall in the face of adversity,” she says.
I’ll do it
standing, sitting, or lying down. See how easy I am?
“Someone who
believes in the value of a good deed,” she says.
I believe in the
value of me, sweetheart. Because I’m Lincoln Wade. Jaded genius,
obscenely wealthy, capable of violence, and looking for revenge.
Molly Masters
might have delusions of grandeur. She might see me as some superman capable of
cleaning up the scum, filth, and corruption in Cathedral City.
But I’m not the
hero she’s looking for.
I’m the dark
alley where all her good intentions hide.
So be careful
what you wish for, Molly Masters.
Because you’re
about to get it.

EXCERPT ONE
Little red lights line the tunnel. It sorta reminds me of
an airport runway. The mud turns to concrete about twenty feet in and there’s a
small light up ahead. I’m really not sure what to expect, so I get my gun out
just in case.
A few paces on and the tunnel turns sharply to the left
where the light is brighter. I can hear yelling. Bike boy is yelling.
Someone is talking back to him, but he’s laughing too. I
let out my breath and relax a little as I creep forward into the chamber. The
first thing I see is the wrecked bike mounted on a red mechanic’s lift. Then
toolboxes, some weird contraption that looks like a… robot, rolling around? A
computer, then another, and another. A whole wall of computers, actually. Food
wrappers and half-empty protein shake containers. Parts. A black muscle car. A
long table lined with shit that looks like pieces from a chemistry lab. And a
massive aquarium-sized tank holding luminescent jellyfish.
All this time bike boy is yelling and waving those
black-gloved hands in the air, splashing a protein drink all over the floor.
“What the fuck, Case? I told you not to mess with my bike,
you asshole.”
“I didn’t touch your bike, Lincoln.”
“Stay the fuck out of my business. I crashed the goddamned
bike and had to hitch a ride home and Sheila is somehow offline. Offline! You
motherfucker!”
“Calm down,” Case says. “She’s not gonna miss anything
being offline for a few minutes. In fact, if I were you I’d be asking how it’s
possible she got knocked off so easy. Doesn’t that strike you as weird?” It
comes from a giant face on a wall-sized flat screen mounted on the side of a…
cave? What the fuck? “And you lost your right to work alone months ago, so
don’t get all self-righteous about me being around today.”
“What’s that supposed to—“
“Hey, asshole,” the guy on the screen says over bike boy’s
tantrum, cutting him off.
“I didn’t need this complication—” Bike boy stops talking.
Because the guy on the screen is waggling his eyebrows at me. “What the fuck
are you doing?” bike boy asks. “Stop making stupid faces—”
“We have com-pan-eee.” The guy on the giant screen
nods his head at me.
Bike boy whirls around, shoots me a dirty look, and then
growls, “I’ll call you back,” as the giant screen goes black.
We stare at each other for a few moments, our eyes locked.
“Oh, my—”
“You’re still here,” he says over me.
“—God.” I look around one more time.
1. Cave filled with…
2. Super bike.
3. Souped-up muscle car.
4. Giant flatscreen phone chat.
5. Computers everywhere.
6. Robot?
7. Some kind of science lab.
A few loud beeps interrupt my list. “Online,” a female
voice says from the ceiling. A pause, and then, “There has been a breach and we
have a visitor.” A hologram in the form of a woman appears in the middle of the
cave and I can only assume this is…
8. Sheila, apparently back online.
I look around a little more and spy… not a cape, thank God,
but a… a…
9. Helicopter, parked at the far end of the enormous
cavern.
And then I get the perfect list after all, because I see…
10. Guns.
No, they are more than mere guns. I know my way around a
gun and these are—
“What the fuck are you doing here, gun girl? I thought we
parted back in the forest.”
“Oh, my God,” I
repeat. “You’re Batman.”
EXCERPT TWO
“You know what Case and I call you behind your back?”
“Come on, Lincoln—”
“No, fuck you, Case. You get all paranoid because I go
missing for a few hours—”
“A whole fucking day, you asshole. A night and a
day, actually. Where the hell did you go? And what’s the deal with the girl?”
“It’s been taken care of.”
“I hope you did it right,” Thomas says, taking his martini
from Mac, who makes another quick escape down to the other end of the bar.
“Because you’re fucking up a lot of plans right now.” He glares at me from the
corner of his eye. “And we never gave you authority to start killing people.”
“We? What is this we shit? You’re so sure we’re on
the same team, Thomas?” I laugh, it’s so absurd. “Maybe we were way back, but
you haven’t been one of us for a very long time, brother. Way too long
to just start talking about bygones. So why don’t you put your fancy black
gloves back on, take your coat off that stool, walk back the way you came, and
go fuck yourself.”
“Shit,” Case says with a grunted laugh. “You’re an idiot,
Lincoln.” Case grabs my gun hand and points it at Thomas. “Shoot him, then. If
he’s not one of us, then shoot the fucker and prove it.”
I can’t shoot him. The three of us know this. And it’s not
that I’ve got some sentimental affection for the old days. Some long-ago sense
of loyalty. No. I simply cannot shoot him.
My hand trembles and I’m not even aiming, Case is. My whole
body starts to sweat and my hands heat up. Perspiration collects on my forehead
in drops and then it’s rolling down my face. The shakes start and I’m ready to
double over from the nausea. Another second and I’ll collapse to the floor.
I wrench my gun hand away from Case, lower it to the
ground, and the symptoms of inhibition poisoning ease back. But it takes many
more seconds to recover than it does to be affected.
“I guess I am one of you,” Thomas says with a satisfied
smile as he takes another sip of his martini. “Now be a good boy, Lincoln, and
do your job like we planned it. Stop this madness before you get us all
killed.” He gulps the rest of his drink, places his glass on the bar, and then
reaches for his wallet, throwing down a twenty. “I’ll see you both Friday night
at my new headquarters for the SkyEye party. And feel free to bring your date,
Lincoln. I’d love to see her.”
“It’s sick what you did over there,” I say.
“So you saw it?” Thomas asks, one eyebrow raised. “I think
it’s quite spectacular.”
“Yeah, if you want to be reminded of death.”
“You’re so dramatic, Lincoln. Grow a pair, will you? This
is the big leagues and I’m not going to let you mess this shit up over petty vengeance.”
“Says the kettle to the pot.”
“My plans are a lifetime in the making. A legacy. I’m only
taking what’s owed to me. And don’t you ever forget that I’m the one who saved
you, Lincoln. I could’ve walked out and never looked back.”
“I thought that’s what you did,” I growl.
Thomas looks over at Case. “You better get him on a leash,”
he says, turning his back to us and walking out. “Or I’ll step in and do it
myself.”
There’s a lingering silence as the door whooshes shut after
Thomas makes his exit and when I finally look over at Case, he’s got lots of
questions. “What?” I ask.
“What did you do to the girl?”
“I took care of it.” And I did. But damn if she hasn’t been
on my mind ever since. Everything about her has been on my mind since the
minutes we wanted to fight out on the road. And she had a badge in her purse
issued from the CCPD.
Detective Molly Masters.
Why didn’t I know she was the new detective?
“What if she…” Case stops, maybe choosing his words
carefully. “What if she becomes a problem?”
“I told you,” I growl, giving him a look from the corner of
my eye. “It’s taken care of. She won’t be a problem.”
I leave Case at the bar, all his questions unanswered. If I
wasn’t offered answers about why Thomas is here, then why should Case get
answers about me?
“You better go home tonight, Linc. I’m fucking serious.”
I shoot him the
finger over my shoulder as I walk out the door.
EXCERPT THREE
“Give in tonight,
Molly. And I’ll give in tomorrow.”
“What’s that mean? Why do you have to talk in riddles? Just
tell me what the fuck is going on.” My words come out as a hoarse whisper and I
look at the ground. And I’d be lying if I said he wasn’t turning me on. This
alpha shit. I should hate it. I should rail against it. Slap him again and walk
off. Walk straight the fuck out of here with my head up.
But I can’t say that’s how I feel, because I don’t.
“Hold your skirts up and find out.”
I force myself to look up. His eyes are not bright with
mischief. They are dark, and cold, and commanding. And his lips aren’t curled
up in some playful smile. They are straight, slightly parted. And I can see his
tongue doing a little dance inside his mouth, like he’s thinking very hard
about something. His hand leaves the wall and he drops the soft fabric of my
silk skirts so he can place both leather-clad palms on my cheeks. Gently. And
this is the only gentle thing about him right now. Because he scares the fuck
out of me.
“Do it,” he says, his mouth finding mine. His lips pressing
into an unbreakable kiss. His hands caressing my skin. His body moving forward,
his knee taking position between my legs. “Lift those skirts, Molly,” he says,
his words tumbling against my tongue. “Let me slip my hand between your legs
and play a little. Let’s have a good time tonight and forget that it’s all
gonna come crashing down tomorrow.”
“I don’t—”
“Please,” he says. The word is so soft. So filled with
longing, and regret, and emotion. It reminds me of that friend of his while we
were dancing. His plea makes me want to obey. Against my will, I try to
convince myself. But it’s a lie. There is something on the tip of my tongue.
Like my brain has been keeping secrets and they’re about to explode out of me.
So I reach down, grab a fistful of silk tulle and I give him what he needs.
Permission.
His mouth is suddenly hungry and crushing. His tongue
dances inside me. One hand leaves my face and goes to his belt and I hike my skirts
up even more, exposing the bare skin of my leg. The brisk air flows upward,
making my pussy tingle with anticipation. His belt buckle drops away, and he
tugs on his zipper just before he presses his hard cock against my hip.
I push forward, making him groan with the pressure against
his hard-on. “Do it, then,” I whisper. “Just do it. Before someone comes.” The
voices of other couples in the maze are louder, but there’s no way for me to
tell how close they are to finding the center. Or finding me here, doing this
with him.
He grabs my skirts, the sudden force enough to make me gasp
with surprise, and then he reaches between my legs and pulls my panties aside,
just enough to slip a gloved finger inside me. “Open your legs wider, Molly.”
Just hearing his gruff voice say my name sends my mind
spinning. Why? Why is he making me feel this way?
But that thought disappears as soon as the pressure inside
me turns to pleasure. I obey his last command like I’m that computer thing in
his cave. Forced to do his bidding. At his beck and call and under his spell.
Just as that thought crosses my mind, his cock—full, and
hard, and throbbing just like my pussy—replaces his finger and I moan. Loudly.
“Oh, God.”
“Shhh.” He laughs. And that laugh twists the whole thing around
from forbidden and terrifying to reckless and tantalizing.
“I want to fuck you in the open,” he says. “Right here
under these spotlights. With all those high-society fucks two hundred feet
away, oblivious to what’s coming. All paranoid and pathetic, wondering what
we’re going to do next. And if you make noise, Molly, I’ll have to drag your
trembling and aching body over into the shadows and that would ruin everything.”
“Oh, God,” I say again.
“You don’t want me to ruin everything, do you?”
I shake my head as I stare up into his eyes. He grips my
waist like he never wants to let go. He rocks against me, pressing me so hard
up against the cold pedestal, I can feel the roughness of the stones embedded
in the concrete.
“Wrap your legs around me,” he says, fisting my hair with
one hand until my head jerks up. “And look at me when I fuck you.”
I lift my leg and his other hand is there helping. I wrap
myself up against the hard, defined muscles of his stomach and around his hips
just as he thrusts inside me.
“Fuck,” he growls, biting my earlobe. “They’re getting
closer. Two more right turns and they’re gonna find us. And if you think I’ll
stop, you don’t know me very well. So come for me, Molly. Come for me and say
my name in my ear as you do it.”
“What—”
“Lincoln,” he whispers. “My name is Lincoln. Say it. I need
to hear you say it.”
