“We go to considerable lengths to keep the truth from coming out,” Michael said.
“Maybe you need to stop doing that. Maybe if you did, fewer people would die at the hands of those…those creatures. And in the long run, there would be fewer of them for you to have to fight.”
“That argument sounds noble, but it won’t work,” Clifford said.
Michael said, “I’m not so sure.”
Clifford looked at him in surprise. “You can’t actually be considering—”
“Ms. Morgan might be right. Over time, a little education might make our job easier…and save some lives.” He turned to Jessie.
“I’m not saying that we’ll let you in on everything that’s going on,” Michael told her, “and you’ll have to do as you’re told. But if what you want is the inside story of what we do, I think we can accommodate you.”
“That’s exactly what I want,” she told him. She didn’t like that bit about doing what she was told—that had always rubbed her the wrong way—but they could work that out later.
Michael held out a hand to Jessie. “Welcome to the team, Ms. Morgan.”
As she took his hand and felt his cool, strong touch, an unexpected thrill crackled through her. That spark she had thought about earlier…it was there, all right. Lord, was it ever!
“If I’m joining forces with you, don’t you think you ought to call me Jessie?”
He smiled. “All right. And I’m Michael.”
She didn’t tell him that in her mind she had already begun to think of him that way.
Nor did she mention how her heart started pounding harder in her chest the instant his skin made contact with hers, even though just their hands touched, not their lips or bodies or—
Stop that, she told herself. She had to remember this relationship was all business.
Vampire-killing business.
