Page 38 of Tempting Jada

Chapter Nineteen

Jada was in the kitchen with the girls when Titan and a few others came in. She hadn’t seen him all day, and from his look, he’d been through something rough.

He held a hand out. “Come on, Babe. I need you.”

She wiped her hands and walked to him. Neither said a word on the way to their room.

“Sit down, Babe. I’m going to shower quickly.”

“Do you want me to help you?” she asked.

“No.”

She watched him shed his clothes and walk into the bathroom. She heard the shower turn on and a few minutes later turn off. He came out with a towel wrapped around his waist and walked into the closet. She was surprised he was clothed when he came out. She thought they were going to make love.

Instead, he sat on the edge of the desk and pulled her between his legs. He held her tightly against him, and she hugged him back and waited. He’d talk when he was ready.

“We got the fucker,” he said.

She rubbed his back. She didn’t have to ask who he was talking about.

“We still are questioning him, but he gave us the name of eighty-seven women he’s killed in the last fifteen years.”

“Oh, God.” She couldn’t imagine being in a room with that kind of evil.

“We confirmed everyone. He gave us areas to the ones that haven’t been found.”

“I’m so glad the families will finally get closure,” she said.

“Hmmm.”

“Are you waiting to get more names?”

“Yes. We want as much information out of him as possible.”

“I hope he’s hurting because he’s affected so many people’s lives.”

He kissed her forehead. “Fuck, yeah.”

“Good. Can I get you something to eat?”

“I know I should eat something. I haven’t had anything since last night.”

“Come on. I’ll get you something light first and a beer.”

“Hell, yeah. A beer sounds great.”

Several women were still in the kitchen but didn’t ask questions. She made up a plate for him while she grabbed a few beers.

“Where do you want to sit?” she asked.

“In the other room.”

“Do you want some private time?” she asked.

“No. I want you with me.”

“Okay.” She followed him in and sat silently in the chair next to him. A few people stopped to talk, but they mostly left him alone.
