“Unless you don’t think you can do it,” he added. “I helped the LVPD a while back with a serial killer case, and the commissioner owed me one.”
“So, you got me a job?” She crossed her arms, fighting not to grin. Oh, this man was going to be a handful in life.
“No, you’re résumé that Reese hacked out of your computer, potentially got you the job. I simply arranged the interview.”
Emma started laughing at the conspiracy that had gone on around her. “Reese helped you out, huh?”
Croft grinned that devilish smile of his. The dimple in his unscarred cheek made him look like a wild young man again.
“I finally won him over,” he answered. “I think he believes now that I didn't have any ulterior motives of getting you into bed.”
It was now up to her, and she knew it.
“Can you do it, Em?” he asked again, this time with nothing but concern in his eyes. With the big pay raise, she’d never have to work again, but he didn't want to give her the easy out. Greyson knew she was a damn good investigator. The LVPD would be blessed to have her.
She touched his healing scar and made up her mind. “With you, Greyson Croft, there’s nothing I can’t do.”
“I feel the same,” he answered, taking her glass from her hand and placing it on the table. When he swept her up in his arms she began giggling.
“What are you doing, Grey!” she squealed, as he carried her to the lounge chair with the intent to get her naked, glistening in his eyes.
“I’m going to make love to my wife,” he answered, already nibbling at her throat.
“Out here?” she asked, incredulously.
He simply dropped down to the chair and had her straddle his lap. “Yep.”
“Grey! Everyone will see and hear us!” Emma stared at him as if he was out of his mind.
He started laughing.
“Seriously?” she asked, as he already had her lingerie pulled from her body.
“You know what they say, honey.”
Emma was distracted by his wandering fingers. “What, babe?” she answered, enjoying her husband’s busy hands.
Croft kissed her fast, exploring the depths of her mouth with such urgency. When he broke away, he stared into her eyes, finding the same need living in her.
“What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”
He caught her off guard and she simply started laughing. “You’re completely out of control.”
Wasn’t that the truth?
Meanwhile….
With a snip snip here and a stitch stitch there, the work was almost complete. Sometimes in Vegas, you could find the ideal victim, and sometimes you needed to create your own.
Either way, ‘Sin City’ was a fun place to call home. All the lights, the sounds and the shows, drew so many there for the excitement.
Then there were the women.
All perfect little plastic specimens, strutting their stuff for all the attention on the stage. Corseted in feathers, sparkling outfits and so much makeup, their own mother’s wouldn’t know them.
They must think life was perfect.
The laughter bubbled up and out, filling the room with the twisted sound.
No one was faultless.
Everyone was flawed, one way or another.
Now, it was a matter of pointing out the obvious to everyone who would pay attention.
They were all wrong.
The city wasn’t alive.
In fact, the opposite was true; as with everything…
Vegas is Dying.
