her note from the playroom and found her reference to her house of
light. He reread her letter and found mentions of the oceans, high
places, watching the waves, and the wind through her hair.
Going back to the book, he looked at what she had marked.
Three pages and one lighthouse located near Seattle, Washington.
Mariska Light guarded the rocky coast above Seattle overlooking
Puget Sound.

 Well, it s not the ocean but& 
Kyle heard the clock from the hall strike two. He realized it
was too late to call Collins and the call would have to be made later
in the day. Then the fact that real estate transactions were public
record moved him to go online. While he waited for his connection
to the internet to complete, he had another idea.
Opening his desk drawer, he pulled out his cell phone, the
mate to Raven s and a direct line to her and no one else. He turned
it on and first checked to see if Raven had left any messages but
found none. He tried calling her, only to get an automated message
stating the user s phone was not receiving and to leave a message.
Kyle hung up. What in the hell would I have said to her anyway?
With access to the internet complete, he began his search of
real estate transactions dealing with the area around Mariska Light.
The only one of note within the last year was listed under S. Walker
for a lighthouse. He continued searching, but found no other
listings.
He thought for a moment and jotted down some questions to
look into in the morning. What was Raven s real name? Sandra what?
What was the name of the man Crawford framed her for killing?
He put the letters into the book, made some more notes to
remind him of who he needed to see while making sure his pilot
stood by to fly him to the Pacific Northwest at a moment s notice.
Kyle lay on one of the black leather couches he bought right
after moving in. Something about Raven naked on black leather.
His cock strained against his jeans, as it always did when he thought
of her. He groaned, got up and went to his gym. With no one up to
bother him, he stripped out of his clothes and worked out in the
nude. He needed to feel free of restraints. Raven had taught him to
enjoy it and he understood more what she meant. His cock
throbbed, begging for her, as the rest of his body ached in
agreement.

Kyle awakened after ten after fallng asleep coming out of the
shower the night before. He lay sprawled across the bed naked,

feeling her absence. His longing for her intense, he vowed to be in
her arms within twenty-four hours.
He drove to headquarters to look at the police reports from
Boston. He learned Raven s real name was Sandra Evans and her
lover s name was Harden Walker. S Walker. Clever, my mistress.
He called Sam Collins and learned he was defending a custody
hearing at the courthouse. When the attorney finished and left the
courtroom, Kyle planned to be waiting for him. He left before
Wayne returned; leaving him a note telling his friend he might be
going out of town for a bit. His next stop, the courthouse.
Kyle waited an hour for Collins to leave the courtroom and
met him as he exited.
 Mr. Collins, I m Kyle Lansing.
 I was wondering when you d come to me. How s your back?
 Better, he answered.  Mr. Collins& 
 Son, please. I know why you re here. Can you come to my
office?
 Sure. When?
 Right now.
 Good.
They walked to the attorney s office a block away. Kyle liked
it a relaxing country air to it.
 Come in. Can I offer you coffee?
 No thanks. I realize this might put you in a bad position, but
do you know where my wife is?
 And if I claim privilege?
 I ll still be on a plane this afternoon to find her. All I need is
your confirmation of where I believe she went.
Collins pulled out a file from a locked cabinet Kyle assumed
he used for delicate or high profile cases. He placed it on his desk
and stood up.
 I have to check on something and I ll be back in a few
minutes. If, while I m gone, you happen to go through it, please
make sure you put everything back as you found it and don t tell
me.

Collins got up and left. Kyle took him at his word, slipped
behind his desk, and opened the file, shocked to see a letter
addressed to him from Raven.
Slowly he opened it:
My dearest Master,
If Sam has seen fit to give this to you, my worst nightmares are
fact. I can t even think how you feel or what I m putting
you through. For that, I am sorry.
I pray you will forgive me, but if you choose not to, I ll have to
live with your decision. I want you to come for me
willingly. If you choose to, you ll be able to find me at
Mariska Light, Washington.
Please, my Lieutenant

He quickly slipped the letter into his pocket when he heard
Collins return. He closed the file and stood up, meeting Collins as
he entered his office.
 Thanks, Mr. Collins, I appreciate your help.
Kyle left the office almost running. He didn t see the smile on
Collins face.

Within the hour, Kyle sat onboard his private jet, his heart
racing as they left New Orleans behind. In a little over seven hours,
he d be landing in Seattle, almost twenty-six hundred miles away
from the home they briefly shared.
Six months and over half the country away& He winced at
this, and then settled in for the long flight. He prayed she hadn t [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
