Read Breath of Fire for Free Online

past couple of months—Canada, New York, Florida, Texas, Washington, California, Mexico, Chile. Should I go on?”
    “No.” If I’d known the FBI had a Paranormal Division and a guy who was tracking me, I’d have taken more care at hiding my tracks. I kept my eyes steady on his, not giving any of my thoughts away. He wasn’t afraid to look me in the eyes. He somehow knew I couldn’t read him.
    “Coincidentally, these are some of the locations where I’ve gotten word of persons missing and found crime scenes like the one I just left. So I figure you’re one of two things. A: You’re the killer, which I don’t think you are. I’m not saying you haven’t killed before, but not this time.” He didn’t wait to see if I’d react to him calling me a killer. “Or B: You’re hunting them yourself, and cleaning up their messes behind them to keep local authorities from homing in on your own investigation. I figure this scenario is more likely.”
    “Prove it,” I said.
    “I wish I could.”
    “Then it seems like we’re done here. Have a nice life, Agent Ford.”
    “Aren’t you curious to hear what I want? Or do you want to try and read my mind again?”
    I growled low in my throat before I could help it. “You’re trying my patience. What do you want?”
    “I’m proposing we combine forces and work together. For starters.” His gaze was filled with desire and danger—two things that attracted me like a moth to a flame. “What do you say?”
    It was unfortunate someone as sexy as Agent Ford had turned out to be such a pain in the ass. Now I was going to have to worry about stumbling across him when I finally fulfilled the warrant of execution. And with the way he’d protected himself against any mental invasions, it didn’t look like I was going to have a lot of luck erasing his memories.
    “I’ll pass.” I held out my hand once again so he’d get the point and get off my porch. “I don’t think there’s anything I can help you with.”
    He took his glove off this time before taking my hand, and when flesh touched flesh, the bottom dropped out of my stomach, my vision turned black and my breath faltered. It was as if I was trapped in his body’s embrace, and his mind didn’t reveal anything he didn’t want me to see. I knew he was attracted to me, and I knew by his shadows that violence and anger lurked behind his carefully built walls. I felt his touch over my body, whispering through my mind and caressing the deepest part of my soul, the sensation the most erotic feeling I’d ever had.
    I remembered to breathe, and grey, hazy flecks floated in front of my eyes before my vision came back. He pulled me closer and rubbed his thumb in circles over the top of my hand.
    “Let go of me.” I looked into his eyes, using the strength of my power to get him to release his hold over me. But it was useless.
    “You could change your mind,” he said.
    I wasn’t sure if he was talking about working together or my request that he let me go. He was right, though. I could change my mind in either case.
    “How about dinner?” he asked.
    I was starting to think he was trying to compel me, but my blocks were just as sturdy as his. “I don’t think so. I think both of us would be better off if we never saw each other again.”
    “You might be right. What about breakfast?”
    My mouth quirked into a smile before I could stop it. He was persistent—I’d give him that. I tugged my hand away from his and immediately felt an emptiness inside me that he’d somehow filled. Noah Ford was an unknown. And it probably wasn’t wise to let him continue his investigation without keeping tabs on him. He might even be helpful some way.
    “Let’s start with dinner,” I said. “We’ll see where it goes.” What the hell. I liked sex as much as the next dragon, and it had been a long time since I’d found anyone interesting enough to bother with.
    Agent Ford smiled at me like he knew what I was thinking and
