“As a heart attack.”
“Let me go, Ashey.”
“You can’t assault Jake, Sis. I’m sorry.”
I pulled away from Asher, ignoring his edict, and faced Jake. “Which part of your body would you like me to hit?”
His eyebrows rose and he let out a surprised chuckle.
“I’ll stay away from your... ah... private area, but I need to know which part of your body will get me locked up.”
“I’m not gonna arrest you, Addison.”
“Then you’re useless.”
Jake dropped his head back and laughed.
I growled, lunging forward but not getting far... you know, because my brother grabbed me again before I could do any damage. “Maybe we should all just take a minute,” he suggested. “Jake, if you’re finished questioning Addie, I’m going to walk her to her car before I talk to Dylan.”
Jake looked over his notes. “I think we’re done here.” He pulled a business card out of his pocket, sliding it between his index and middle finger, and offering it to me.
I scowled at him and didn’t move.
“My card. Please take it in case you think of anything that can help Ms. James.” His gaze locked with mine and then slid to my mouth. My breath caught and I couldn’t stop myself from licking my lips as he continued to stare at me. He made me feel all floaty and crap. This was not me. Men didn’t make me feel floaty and crap, I did it to them! Gah!
And just when I’d written him off for an asshole. I took his card and, when our fingers brushed, another fire ignited beneath my skin. Who the hell was this guy and why did he affect me like this?
Asher tugged at my arm. “Okay, Sis, let’s get you out of here.”
I reluctantly led him to my car and then took off. I had a plan, which required a stop at my apartment and then the local Target. I was getting Dylan out of that jail if it was the last thing I did.
