“Are you sure?”
She stood and walked right up to him, sliding her hand around his neck and bringing his lips down to hers.She gripped his neck tight, not letting go of him as she teased his lips and plunged her tongue into his mouth.
Damien sucked in a breath and resisted the urge to take over the kiss.He let her lead, answering each swipe of her tongue with one of his own.She whimpered against his lips, and he hauled her against his body, letting her feel the effect she had on him.
She broke the kiss with a reluctant sigh.“I am very sure I’m not afraid of you.”
“Good,” he whispered against her lips.
“I’m not super excited to go to the police station, though.”
“Do you want me to drive you?”
“You don’t have to do that.You have a job.”
“My boss knows where I am and is on board with whatever I need to do.If it’ll make you feel better, I’ll take you there and bring you back here.”
Harmony hesitated a minute, then nodded.“Okay.Thank you.”
Harmony chewedon her lip as Damien checked in with his boss and the police captain to let them both know she was safe and he was bringing her to the station.It had been years since anyone noticed anything about her whereabouts, let alone broke in to find her.
Twice.
She tried not to be secretly pleased he was going a little alpha and a whole lot overboard.She really needed to get a life if she was so giddy about it.Technically, Damien could have gotten into a lot of trouble for showing up at her lab like he did.And he could have gotten shot the night before when he was at her apartment.
She was happy neither happened, but both could have.
Why did that make her even more excited?What was wrong with her?
“You ready to go in?”Damien asked.
She looked up and realized they were parked in front of the police station.“Sorry.Yeah.I’m good.”
Damien got out first and hurried around to her side, his head turning from side-to-side as he moved.
A chill ran down Harmony’s spine.“Do you think someone is watching us?”
Damien didn’t look at her.“I have no way of knowing, but if someone is, I want to see them doing it.”
Harmony wrapped her arms around her waist to fend off the anxiety rippling through her.She wasn’t cut out for all this.For being stalked and followed and walking into a police station to answer questions about a dead woman.
Damien opened the front door and nodded to where Captain Patrick was waiting for them.
“I’m happy to hear you’re safe,” Captain Patrick said as he shook her hand.“And I’m sorry to bring you down here.”
“It’s okay.I understand.I think.”Harmony didn’t, but she’d never been a part of a police investigation before.
“Detective Murphy is going to ask you some questions.He is putting together a timeline of Pamela Mercer’s evening in hopes of finding out what might have happened to her.”
“Okay.I’ll tell him what I know, but we only spoke for a minute.”
“That’s okay.We need to know everything we can.”Captain Patrick looked at Damien.“I need you to stay here.”
Damien nodded and winked at Harmony before Captain Patrick led her through a secure door and into the back of the station.
Harmony looked around, feeling both safe and in danger.It was nice to know there were so many people there who could help, but she wasn’t so sure they weren’t going to be looking at her as a suspect.
Captain Patrick showed Harmony into a room, then closed the door behind her with a promise that Detective Murphy would be in soon.
