How silly of me to forget.” Again she giggled.
    Micah took another sip of whisky, enjoying her performance. It had been years since an actress entertained him so well. “What exactly did the article say?”
    “Why, I really couldn’t say, sir.” She leaned forward, whispering to him conspiratorially. “It was such a long time ago.”
    “Please try,” he insisted.
    “Well, it talked about how the body that washed up was so badly decomposed they had a hard time identifying him. Except Senator Anderson had that one missing finger from the war between the states, well, they identified him by that.” She closed her eyes, giving a very convincing shudder. “It’s just too gruesome to even think about, sir.”
    Fighting hard not to laugh at her performance, Micah arched one brow in her direction. “Did the article mention anything else about Senator Anderson?”
    “Oh, just that he was the foreign affairs committee chairman, or some such thing.” She rose and approached him once again. “Some more whiskey, perhaps?”
    “If you please.” A past mistake had taught him well the lesson of moderation, but Micah let her bring him another drink. Another chance to watch her round little bottom sashay across the room again was worth holding a full glass for a while.
    “Did that terrible man, Blackwood, give you any clue as to why he murdered the poor senator?” She smiled sweetly at him. Her eyes, the exact color of the amber liquid in the tumbler, warmed him more than the whiskey ever could. As she returned, he bit back a groan, concentrating on her question and not the swell of her breasts so generously displayed above the gown.
    “He did rant about the men he worked for being powerful enough to take over the government.” He accepted the glass she handed him. Her fingers trailed lightly across his when she released it. “Thank you, ma’am.”
    Gracefully, she sank to her knees at his feet, batting her eyelashes up at him. “Please call me Claudia, Micah. Do you have any idea why he would say something like that?”
    Obviously, she wanted to get information from him, while revealing little on her part. In fact, she hadn’t told him anything he couldn’t read in the newspapers. The minx wanted to play the flirt, did she? He wondered exactly how far she intended to go.
    Setting aside the glass, he reached a hand down to stroke her hair. A shadow of fear crossed her features. She schooled it quickly.
    “Well, Claudia , Blackwood seemed to think once he disposed of Laura, no one would connect him to the murder.” He let his fingers trail down the smooth skin of her cheek. She trembled, but didn’t move away. “I would imagine someone, or a group of people, with enough power to cover up the senator’s death for six months could be in on the conspiracy, don’t you?”
    “Yes. Yes, I suppose that’s true.” The pulse at the base of her throat quickened against his fingers. “Did that terrible man mention any names?”
    Micah let his fingers tip her chin upwards. “No, he didn’t.” Holding her head still, he leaned forward. “Has anyone new or unusual shown up at the library?”
    Claudia’s tongue darted out to moisten her lips.
    The naïve act sent heat sizzling through his blood. Controlling the desire to crush her beneath him, he lowered his mouth to hers, inhaling the sweetness of her breath as he sampled what she so innocently gave with a soft gasp.
    Micah slowly increased the pressure on her delicious lips. His hand slid off her chin, down over the smooth column of her neck, urging her closer. When she moaned, he took advantage of her parted lips and slipped his tongue inside her warm mouth, dancing with hers. He fought his own urge to groan.
    He moved his other hand over her shoulders, moving her upwards. With his hands and lips he guided her off her knees, very slowly onto his lap.
    When her soft bottom settled on his thighs, Micah enfolded her in his arms. He groaned.
    For a few moments longer,
