CHAPTER 11

Tristan

As quietly as I could, I climbed out of my bed and grabbed some sweatpants and a t-shirt before I made my way out of my bedroom and back to the living room. The glowing clock on my stove told me it was just after two in the morning. I had only slept maybe an hour, assuming I was that lucky.

I was used to not being able to sleep. I was used to having my mind racing with different thoughts. Tonight they weren’t racing because of past memories or a case, though. Tonight, I couldn’t get my mind to turn off because I was mentally freaking out about having sex with Hawke.

This was all kinds of bad.

We were working together. We would still see each other even after this case was closed. I’d never slept with anyone who was connected to my job, because I didn’t want that awkwardness at work. I shouldn’t have done it. I can normally keep myself in line and yet, for some reason with Hawke, I couldn’t resist him.

Once again when he’d touched me it felt like a fire had exploded within my body. And once again he felt familiar. I had never been with him. I hadn’t met him before this and yet, my whole body was reacting to him like I had known him my whole life. It was ridiculous and made zero sense. No matter how much I try to ignore it, my body didn’t want to listen.

I had to put distance back between us. I had to get my mind focused again. I couldn’t let Hawke’s presence distract me. I couldn’t let him break down all of my walls. Last night was a slip up and it wasn’t one I could allow to happen again.

Letting out a sigh, I plopped down on my couch. I glanced at my phone and noticed that Detective West had sent me the evidence that he’d collected from Spy Guy.

I opened my laptop up and pulled up Detective West’s email. I had to focus on what truly mattered—catching my parents’ killer. I couldn’t afford to let Hawke distract me again. Too much was riding on me finding this arsonist. Too many victims were counting on me to solve their case and get them justice. I couldn’t let a pretty face distract me any longer. Even if he made me feel things I had never felt before.
