he felt her tremors begin inside her pussy. He pushed hard, sending them both sliding softly into a stunning, seductive completion.
    He held her close. Her heart beat steady against his chest. Her particular fragrance scented the air, long limbs wrapped lazily around his, and soft skin glided against his hard muscles. She completed him.
    The moon was high in the sky and a cool breeze rustled the leaves in the nearby trees. “It’s getting late, or early, as the case may be. I’d better take you home.”
    She raised her head and stared at him. Her pansy eyes looked black in the darkness. Her expression was unreadable. She pushed herself up and went to gather her clothes. He followed and put the blanket, cooler with the partly empty champagne bottle, and towels into the truck.
    They didn’t talk on the way back. He wondered what she was thinking. There were still many things to be said. But it was late, and not the time.
    Brent kissed her lightly at the door. Waited until she was inside and the door locked before he left. When he got back to Drake’s he found a note taped to his bedroom door.

    Mick called. Things are popping. Call back as soon as possible.
     

Chapter Eight

    Brent flipped his cell open and called Mick. “What’s up?”
    “I found the name of Yannell’s wife. She was a widow, named Beverly Starling. There was a daughter, Diana, about eight when the mother married Yannell. This is the kicker, they disappeared around two years later.”
    “Thanks, Mick. That was good work.”
    “Oh, that isn’t all. One of our men is following Yannell’s daughter. She’d headed to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and now she’s on 25, driving toward El Paso. You think she might be coming your way?”
    “I suspect she is. What about Yannell’s man?”
    “He’s lying low. Not sure where he is.”
    “Well, we’d better find out. I have someone to call that might know. Get the team together and come here. I’m going to send you directions to an old ranch I bought. Plan to camp out there and stay out of sight until I contact you.”
    “Will do.” Mick disconnected the call.
    Brent stood at the window watching the hint of dawn on the horizon. He wouldn’t go to bed tonight. There was too much to arrange. And one lady that needed to finish the conversation she started earlier this past evening.
    He dialed Nate. “Hi, where are you?”
    “I led Yannell’s man to Kansas. I’ve been roaming all over trying to keep his attention on me.”
    “Great. Now, can you lose him and come to Texas?”
    “Your doubting me hurts my feelings, friend. Hell yes, I can lose him. Where am I headed to in Texas?”
    “A small town called Saddle Creek. Better alert your unit. I think this might be the break you’ve been waiting for all these years.”
    “Sounds like music to my ears. Are you going to give me any other information?”
    “When you get here, meet me in town at the Cut and Curl Beauty Shop. Come in the back way.”
    “You sure you aren’t playing some wicked trick on me?”
    “Now would I do that?” Brent chuckled.
    “Yeah, you would.” Nate clicked off.
    Brent headed to the shower. He needed some cold water to help keep him awake, lots of coffee, and a ton of luck if he was going to talk the proprietor of the local beauty shop into letting him use her back room. Yannell’s man would never think to look in that direction. And most of all, he had to get Angie to tell him her whole story.
    He shivered under the cold spray as he stepped into the shower. He’d stay in here a few minutes. It was going to be a long day.
    After he dried off and dressed, he went to the kitchen and poured a mug of coffee. He’d drank half when Janice came into the room.
    “You riding out with Drake today?”
    “Sorry, but I can’t. I do need to update Drake on what’s happening. Is he around?”
    “He went out to the barn to check on the sick mare.”
    Brent filled his mug. “I’ll catch him out there.” He waved, went out the back
