After a silence that was not an easy one, because she could almost hear their thinking about heras a problem, Georgia asked, "Am I really in danger? We would go to the police."They don't have the time. Nor the manpower. We've got it under control." Mac has another cookie." Is there really any danger?" Georgia was persistent." Not with us around. Just don't go outside.""Not with us around. Just don't go outside."" I am getting claustrophobic.""We'll get some travel tapes for the VCR." Mac stood up and stretched. " Don't stay up too late, children." And he left.George looked at Luke. "What is really going on?" Very openly, Luke replied, "Herb has a network that you wouldn't believe. We are excellent antagonists. Matched. They saw that pink car of yours parked by building all that time and they got curious. I would bet anything that's what happened."" Will I ever see my car again?"" Of counsel! When this is over.""Is there-any real danger?" she asked it, yet again.Herb wants

She began to writhe, for she wanted to be against him. She frowned and made little discontented noises as she tried. He didn't move. She released his shoulders and gave him a hair-raising kiss., touching only his lips. He swallowed nosily and breathed through his mouth.She looked into his eyes, with hers almost screened by her heavy lids, deliberately leaving it damp from her tongue. Still watching him, she lifted his T-shirt and bunches it up under his armpits-Simce he was acting as if his hands were glued to the wall. She gave him another soft smile.She put her head down along his chest and closed her eyes as explored it with her fingers and tongue. He gasped and twitched and his breath was hot in her hair. She ran a nail around his male nipple, then tried to suckle it. She licked and nibbled and he shuddered. But he left his hands against the wall.She examined his navel quite minutely and contemplated the barrier of his shorts. She looked up into the molten lava of his eyes and

He watched her as she flipped quite a chunk of pages back to the place she was drawing him exercising. She sudied him minutely. That she would look ot him that way made him self-conscious. Conscious of himself. Aware of his body. That he was a male being closely studied by a female.Naturally that made him more aware of her body and that she was a female and a willing one, at that."You really ought to lift weights. Since we have the time, I could get you started. Stand u,"She put aside her pad and pencil and stood before him."This movement," he instructed, "will tone these muscles." He traced the line of muscles. "And this one does all these." He bent her and traced all those that simple movement would affect.One thing led to another and he relaxed them both.They retrieved Minny form the roof and bird watching can be exhausting, so the little cat curled by the glass sliding door and napped. The lovers fixed a lazy lunch and although they hadn't done any bird watching, they too, n

"In the morning?" Luke's father was a little uncertain and looked at Luke for guidance. "I see." Georgia looked back at Luke. "I suppose it slipped your mind?" "I didn't mention It?" He knew good and well hadn't and it made her furious! "I've been held here for almost two weeks." "What do you mean?" his mother asked slowly. "I've been held here against my will." And his mother said to her son, "Now, what?" To distract hos mother, Luke told her, "She's learning to cook." "Don't you cook, Georgia?" Georgia didn't reply but said to Luke, "It's exceedingly interested and excessively telling that you have a mother who comes here, finds you've imprisoned a woman and she doesn't say, "How shocking!" She says, 'Now, what.' That says a lot about you, Luke Montana. " His mother's head went up, his father looked at Luke and Like laughed. A genuine, amused, impulsive laugh. It made his father smile. It made Georgia madder. She smiled sweetly and said a sugar-coated, "I kn

Just about then, since there was an hour's time difference, it was after four o'clock at the Montana Electronics company, Inc. In Indianapolis, Indiana.Luke was frowning at the walls as phone in his hand rang yet again. Where was she? How long did it take to go out . Where was she? How long did it take to go out and buy some steaks? The car had been delivered at eight-thirty and she hadn't been there since.A very strange feeling gripped Luke. He went back to the meeting, jerked a hand at Mac and backed out the door to wait in the hall."What's up?""I can't get hold of Georgia," Luke said. "I've been calling her since about ten morning and she doesn't answer. I have a bad feeling about this."Mac discounted that. "She probably went to a movie or apartment hunting, or shopping. Women never sit by the phone and wait for someone to call them. They had about all over the place. You'll be smart to take home some deli food for super tonight." The. Mac urged, "We better get back.
