unfortunately they don’t work on
every attacker. And in case you haven’t noticed, I’m bigger than
most.”
    Oh, she’d noticed. Everything about Chaz was
big. She was glad he couldn’t see the small smile covering her
lips, because right now his cock was growing hard against her lower
belly.
    “My size alone would prevent you from doing
any real damage.”
    “I’m sure there’s something I can do that
will bring you to your knees,” Val whispered.
    In an instant the atmosphere between them
became charged with a sexual current that promised sparks would
fly. Chaz was still crowding her against the wall, only the hands
encircling her wrists let go to slide up her arms in a caress that
left her sighing. As he reached her upper arms his thumbs stretched
out to glide over her flat nipples, which puckered immediately. Val
gasped as the prickle of awareness traveled all the way down to her
pussy, causing it to spasm.
    “Oh, baby,” Sensing that he was lowering his
face; she raised hers and met him halfway. “You definitely have the
moves to bring me to my knees.”
    When his lips first touched hers it was
soft, exploratory, teasing Val until she trembled wildly. Her
reaction drew out the animal in him, and Chaz’s kiss turned hard
and hungry. As she opened her mouth beneath the pressure of his,
and sucked his tongue inside, his hands caressed her breasts and
body with purpose.
    Wildfire raced through Val, and she couldn’t
believe how fast things developed between them. Some part of her
brain registered that they were outside of her apartment building,
that they were losing control against the wall with the moon
peeking in and out of the clouds. If Chaz was worried about where
they were he didn’t show it. His hands had moved under her
tee-shirt and were squeezing and shaping her bare breasts with
barely restrained passion.
    Without warning, the lights of a turning
vehicle landed on them. Val gasped at Chaz’s quick reflexes when he
snatched up his gun, and pulled her around the corner of the
building into the darkness. Holding her against the wall he
carefully peered around the edge. Once he seemed satisfied with
what he saw, he turned his attention back onto her.
    “Trouble?” Val asked, still slightly out of
breath. Her body was humming with arousal.
    “Probably just a tenant. Come on; let’s get
back to your apartment.” He tried the maintenance door before Val
could warn him that it was locked. “Shit!” He paused for a moment,
and Val imagined he was thinking about options. “We’re sitting
ducks here, let’s go.”
    He curled his hand around hers and tugged
her in the direction of the main entrance. Walking at a brisk pace,
Chaz made sure she was between him and the building. The thought of
him using his body to shield hers from a possible bullet produced
fear in Val. She didn’t think she could live with herself if
something happened to him. For the first time since this nightmare
began, she was glad they were leaving town in the morning.
    As they walked along, she noticed Chaz’s
gaze shifting all around them. She could feel the tension in his
grip, and knew he was on full alert. He reminded her of a warrior,
without the trappings. Yet her imagination provided her with the
tantalizing visual of him in protective armor, with a shield and a
sword, riding a stallion.
    Get a grip, girl. You’re losing it. They
both breathed a sigh of relief when they entered the lobby. The
night attendant was behind the desk, head bent as he appeared to be
working on something. He glanced up when he heard them enter.
    “Any word on what the fire alarm was all
about?” Chaz asked him.
    “Oh, Mr. Evans! I was just about to leave
you a message. Looks like the same issue that we’ve been
experiencing for the last few months. Someone has been messing with
the alarms.”
    “Thanks Ted.”
    “We think it’s kids,” Ted continued as they
walked toward the elevators.
    “That’s highly possible, Chaz,” Val
