Mr. & Mrs. Norcross - Page 2

Crap. Somehow her cover had been blown.

“That’s crazy,” Brynn said. “I’m Bea North. From San Diego. I breed fucking dogs, you idiot.”

The small guy shifted nervously. Cray’s scarred face twisted. “I’m not an idiot.” Then he reached out and touched her brown hair.

Brynn jerked her head to the side.

“Ed said to get rid of her,” the smaller man said.

“She’s too beautiful to get rid of.” Cray’s voice changed, edged with lust. “Shame to waste that.”

Her stomach clenched. “Why the hell do you think I’m a cop?”

“Informant owed Baker a favor. He passed the information along.”

Well, fuck.

“Someone is wrong, buddy. Do I look like a damn cop?”

Cray touched her hair again, running the silky strands through his fingers. “You’re beautiful. I’ve been watching you. I like your laugh.”

Now Brynn felt like concrete pooled in her belly. She heard the echo of obsession in his voice.

From her files, Travis Cray was dangerous. He was violent and did Baker’s dirty work with no question. He had several charges for assault, and one for stalking an ex-girlfriend.

Now she wondered if Cray had murdered Tom Moore on Baker’s orders.

Then an even greater danger popped into her head, and she froze.

Shit.

“You need to let me go.”

Cray laughed. “I have you right where I want you, sweetheart.”

“But if Baker finds out, he’ll be pissed,” the other man stuttered.

Cray whirled and glared at the man. “He won’t find out, will he, Ronny?”

Ronny wiped his hand across his mouth. “N-no.”

“It’s not Baker you need to worry about.” Brynn tested her bindings again. “It’s my husband.”

An unhappy look crossed Cray’s face. “I didn’t know you were married.”

Brynn’s pulse picked up. “Once he knows someone’s taken me, he’ll come.” She met Cray’s brown gaze. “And he’ll annihilate you. All of you.”

Cray was silent a moment, then he let out a low, grating laugh. “He’ll have to find you first.” He jerked his head at Ronny. “Come on. We need to prep for tonight.” Then the two of them walked off, their steps echoing into the darkness.

Brynn started work trying to loosen the ropes.

She knew that finding her wouldn’t take her husband long.

Then he’d come for her. Like a dark, avenging angel.

Or like the loving husband he was…who also happened to be a deadly former Ghost Ops commander.

The most dangerous man in San Francisco.
