above his heart. Nobody would have themselves permanently inked with the word Karma , and a sword that had a drop of blood dripping from it and it not be deeply personal.
    “Yeah, it does. No prizes for guessing that I strongly believe in the golden rule. What a person sows is what they reap. That’s why I enforce justice.”
    “Interesting. And the drop of blood? What does that mean?”
    “That’s for Amy and the baby. The sword is for vengeance. The fight for justice.”
    “Hmmm,” I hummed, deep in thought.
    “So what’s it for you, Eva? Mercy or justice?”
    “No question. Mercy. Definitely mercy over justice.”
    “I figured that much. You have a good heart.”
    “So do you; underneath that tough-guy exterior is a great heart. I’ve seen it even though you try to hide it.”
    “Why would I hide it? You give me too much credit, sweetheart. When somebody shows you who they are, believe it.”
    “That’s exactly how I do know. Every now and then you knock my breath away by doing something incredible for someone else.”
    “I’m just doing my job, that’s all. I can hardly take praise for being a good guy.”
    “You can fool others, Harrison, but not me. I see through you.”
    The scary thing, it was true. I saw what nobody else did. Unless I was so desperate to see something else there other than hatred, anger and retaliation.
    The snort he let out made me smile. Of course he wasn’t going to agree with me and I had to suppress the urge to run my hands through his already messy hair.
    I glanced at the clock. “It’s two in the morning, and I’m hungry.” I’d eaten plenty of Thai food earlier, but my stomach was rumbling. Lately I had a voracious appetite.
    “You didn’t have dinner?” Harrison raised an eyebrow.
    “Do alcoholic beverages count as a food group?”
    He rubbed his chin. “Still evading my question.”
    “When I drink a lot of wine, especially red wine, it makes my metabolism speed up like crazy. Add sex to that and I’m ravenous.”
    My stomach rumbled again. Louder this time.
    Harrison laughed. “Vigorous exercise like sex can have that effect on a person. We’ll have to fix that problem.”
    “What, no more sex?”
    “Fuck, you are adorable. And such a tease.” He tucked my hair behind my ear and kissed my forehead. “And no, it means I’ll have to see what I can rustle up in your kitchen.”
    “Um, I hardly have anything in the refrigerator or pantry. I’m trying to empty it out before I move.”
    “You have eggs? And bread?”
    “Yeah, I give Miu-miu an egg every couple of days to keep her coat shiny. So there should be some in the fridge. The bread may be a little stale,” I said, wrinkling my nose. “But there is juice and coffee.”
    Harrison’s eyes raked my body where I leaned against the top railing of the bed. “You’re getting too skinny, Eva. You need to eat better meals, baby. I don’t want you breaking when I fuck you.”
    Slapping his arm, I laughed. “Don’t be ridiculous. I won’t break. And besides, a girl can never be too skinny, too beautiful, or too rich in this town.”
    Grabbing a handful of my ass, he grinned at me. “Just make sure this stays as sexy as it is, and I’m a happy man.”
    “You think I’m sexy?” I drawled, tracing my finger along his jaw.
    “Fuck yeah. You’re the sexiest woman I know. And I know, um, a few.” He grinned sheepishly. Pulling the sheet around my body, I had the sudden urge to hide my nakedness from him.
    “I’m sure you do,” I said, a pain twisting my heart. I wasn’t the jealous type, so it took me somewhat by surprise to find that I hated the idea of Harrison with other women.
    Rolling off the bed, Harrison strutted to the doorway before turning his naked body around and gifting me with the sight of his magnificent torso, his perfect smile, strong muscular legs and very needy cock nearly taking my breath away. I’d never tire of looking at him, although in this case I was probably
