from your surgery. It ll calm you down, so you won t
hurt yourself. I need to leave soon.
He blinked, and his eyes grew glassy. The drug
appeared to be working. Leave? Where are you
going?
No where special now. I m heading to the
bedroom to put on some clothes. You can relax for a
while, and I ll be right back. Sarah leaned over and
placed a light kiss on his mouth.
When his lips lingered, she let him deepen the
kiss. The painful ache in the region of her heart
begged her to reconsider. If she stayed with him and
forgot about the harm Syndetic s drug might inflict
on other innocent women, then maybe...
Guilt twisted in her gut. She d worked for
Syndetic and might ve contributed to the problem.
With so much anger burning through her blood, she
couldn t let it go.
If Jake would only listen, he might understand
how she felt. But no, he refused to see past his need
to protect her.
All her life she d wanted to be a chemist to help

people and save lives. Now, possibly responsible for
others pain and the death of her own child, she had
to rectify the situation.
She closed her eyes and inhaled his scent,
memorizing it just in case...
She tugged away from him and rushed from the
room. Her red dress landed on the bed, and with a
push of a button a closet opened. She chose the black
dress she d worn the day she left Syndetic and the
same red air-heels. From another hidden
compartment, she drew out a lacy underwear wrap.
The teaser would cover the center part of her body
and hopefully trap her scent.
Sarah slipped on her clothes and walked into
the other room. Motionless on the couch, his head
cocked to the side, his eyes closed, Jake appeared
totally relaxed. She picked up his suit off the floor
and searched for the Zeppelin s sensor in his pockets.
If she planned to return to Syndetic, she had better
get there quickly, before she changed her mind.
After finding the device, Sarah retrieved the
extra patch she d left on the floor and stashed it in
her pocket with the sensor.
The one patch worked so effectively on Jake. She
decided to stash the second one in her pocket in case
she needed it.
She covered Jake s wrist with her fingers. His
steady pulse reassured her. He d be incredibly angry
when he woke. He would not only be furious with
her for tying him to the couch, but also for leaving
him behind.
She untied the knot around his right hand and
kissed the red mark around his wrist. The drug
would help him sleep, and she d be back at Syndetic
by the time he woke.
He moaned and shifted on the couch.
Stepping back, she circled behind the couch and
undid the strap from the metal lattice work. She
129

walked back around the couch and, for a brief
moment, stared at his beautiful naked form. He d
never trust her again. No marriage, no future, her
life with him was over.
Blinded by her tears, Sarah left their suite and
hurried down the hallway to the exit of the building.
Rounding the corner that led to the foyer, she heard
voices and paused.
The large glass dome area had several paths
leading past tall trees and flowering bushes. The
fragrance of wild flowers scented the air. A group of
pine trees blocked her view of the front entrance.
A flashback of her speedy trip through the forest
ran through her head. The gun, the blood, Jake
almost dying. Her chest tightened, and her palms
grew sweaty. She checked over her shoulder to see if
anyone stood behind her.
Look, Cornerman, William s stern tone
suddenly rang through the area.
Sarah caught sight of him walking through the
inlet with a short pudgy man beside him. The
stranger appeared vaguely familiar, but she couldn t
recall where she d seen him.
You won t get away with this, William.
Cornerman s face turned red. Syndetic
International is a respected company who has been
in business for years. They are not guilty of the
crimes you re accusing them of.
William stopped and turned to the man. You
must have fast informants. I filed that request with
a judge only a short while ago.
It doesn t matter who told me. The volume of
Cornerman s voice rose with the level of his
agitation. This is just another ploy by Dragon
Center to ruin our society with cruel propaganda.
The short pudgy man shook his little finger, a rude
gesture that mocked her brother. I will not stand by
and let you falsely accusations Syndetic. Once I m
130
Black Dragon s Heart
re-elected, I ll organize a committee to review all DC
policies. You can t file charges against an honest
company like Syndetic without stronger proof.
William glanced at the guard standing nearby.
The man stepped forward. Cornerman, it s very nice
of you to drop by, but I m late returning from lunch.
I have a meeting to attend. You ll need to arrange an
appointment to see me.
The guard took Cornerman s arm.
But I m not... the man sputtered.
William walked toward the aisle where Sarah
stood. She quickly wiped her tears from her face, so
he wouldn t see. He stopped beside her. What s
wrong, Sarah?
Nothing. I was just wondering about the man [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
