Excerpt
from Chemical Attraction:
“Depending on how long this has been
going on, we’re talking about millions if not billions of dollars.” Joe stood
and paced at the foot of his bed in the Blue Room at the B & B. “Well, the
proof would be with materials management, right?”
Leaning against his headboard, Madeline
nodded. “They would have the master supply list and shipping manifests. Getting
those would be a start. The supply list would show the bulk chemicals ordered
and the manifest would show the delivery of those actual items.”
“What’s their security like?” he asked,
impressed by her knowledge and instincts.
She reached for her iced tea with her
left hand and used her right to wipe the condensed wetness off the tabletop.
She took a mouthful, swallowed, and sighed. “They have cameras all over the
place. The front desk has four screens that they flip through to any area, but
security has a room with monitors for every camera.”
He continued to walk the six steps from
one side of the room to the other. “They have cameras in materials management?”
“That department has three. If it weren’t
for the cameras, I’d walk down there and make copies of the lists. They hang on
a clipboard out in the open. There’s even a copier in an alcove next to it,”
she said, crunching her ice.
“Where are the cameras placed?” he asked,
clenching his jaw at her distractions.
She grinned. “One picks up the clipboard
and the hallway. There’s one at the gated door, overlooking the supply room,
and the other is directly across from the copier. I have no idea how to get to
it by myself.”
He looked at everything in the room, but
Madeline stretched out on his bed. He struggled against temptation. “A lot of
people work in that area?”
“Four guys are in and out of the
department throughout the day except for lunch. Between noon and one, they eat
in the cafeteria and leer at women.”
He moved the blue lace curtain to the
side and looked at the empty street. In the window’s reflection, he watched
Madeline position herself across the bed onto her abdomen. She bent her knees,
putting her feet in the air. He turned back around as she propped her head on
her hands. He kicked his shoe across the room and watched it thump into the
door. Frustrated, he plopped into the chair, folded his arms, and stared at
her.
“Why are you doing that?” he finally
asked.
She smiled. “Are you mad at me? Your body
language says you are.”
“You want fun, huh?” She squealed as he
leapt across the bed toward her. When she tried to roll away, he pinned her
beneath him. As he hovered over her, he gently moved a strand of her hair away
from her face. “I told you. You are too damn tempting.”
Lowering his head, he kissed her. The
bolt of lightning shot through him again and, God, he liked it. She squeezed
his biceps, making him instantly hard. Her kisses seared his lips. He was
definitely playing with fire. As he slowly lowered his body, they heard
pounding on the ceiling.
“I better go,” Madeline whispered as she
tried to catch her breath.
Suddenly aware of his position, he
scrambled to get up. “God, I’m sorry. I’ll walk you home.”
Damn, how could he be so irresponsible?
He had worked with many women over the years and had always kept it strictly
professional. Now, he was compromising not only his mission and career but her
life as well.
