involved I think he will talk to you. Call by the bike shop next week” Simon said “I jus t can' t believe he's gone, he was always such a careful rider on his bike and maintained it to perfection so this seems so bizarre”
James reached for my hand as Simon hung his head and walked away.
“Have you seen Charlotte?” I asked.
“No, but we need to keep this information of Simon's secret for the time being, both from Charlotte and Rob until I find out what might have been in this encrypted file”
“You think it might shed some light?”
“Maybe, I know this is supposed to be where we move on but coupled with Felicity saying that he was staying I just can't let it drop, even if the police have”
“Ok, but we do have other things that we need to do, it’ s only three weeks until we get married”
He pulled me into his embrace and planted his lips firmly on mine.
“How could I forget” he murmured.
Charlie saw Felicity and Daniel trying to make a stealthy escape from the crowds. Running across the grass of the cemetery she cornered them at the lynch gate, barring their path.
“What did you do to him” she screamed, her fists still clenched . Her face was red with rage.
“I don't know what you mean dear?” Felicit y countered , her voice calm.
“You killed him to stop him coming back to me, you evil witch” Charlie pulled back her arm and aimed a punch straight at Felicity. However Daniel was too quick and grabbed her arm before she connected with Felicity's cheek bone.
Daniel moved so that Charlotte was pinned back against the wooden gateway.
“Get off me, you're hurting” she yelled. From out of nowhere Zach appeared and aimed his own punch at Daniel, catching him square in the jaw. He landed on the grass as Zach stood over his former friend.
“Leave her alone, go back to your fantasy life” he spat.
Felicity had already wandered through the gate and stood waiting for Daniel to get up. If only Keith had been around with his camera.
Daniel stood up and brushed down his trousers and jacket, casting a look at Zach that was hard to fathom.
“Stay out of our lives” Daniel said, taking both of them in with the statement.
“You too” Zach countered, his dark eyes blazing. His hand twitched to lay another punch on Daniel but he restrained his urge. Instead he turned to Charlotte who was crying and rubbing her arm.
“Are you ok?”
She nodded and tried to back away from him, but the gatepost prevented it. She hadn't seen him since New Year's Eve and even now she was in turmoil.
As his strong arms pulled her shaking body against his chest she caught her breath on the scent of his aftershave. Closing her eyes it took her straight back to the reckless night in his office. She had been back there many times in her dreams and they always woke her up in a cold but aroused sweat.
“You really shouldn't mess with them” he said.
“How would you know? She's a bitch through and through. I know wha t she' s capable of and I'm not giving up. I know she has something to hide”
“Well, she knows you're coming now. Perhaps subtlety and stealth would reveal more” Zach said, his hands running down her spine and resting on her butt.
Charlotte looked up at Zach, extremely aware of his grip, pushing her against him even tighter.
“So, when can I see you again?” He breathed.
“Um...uh...I don't think I can”
“I think that if I can help you out with your investigations then perhaps you can find some time?”
Before she could answer his lips were pressed against hers, their heat searing against the numb coldness. Trying to move back just made him press his weight against her. She tried to speak and his tongue dived inside and jousted with hers until she gave in.
Helplessly she squirmed in his embrace, her body betraying her true feelings of desire.
“Charlotte....Charlotte” she heard her name being called. Zach let her go and stepped aside so that Charlie
