“If this fucker hadn’t started killing these girls right before—”
    “I get it. It’s fine.” And I know he means it, but regret hangs heavily in my gut. I love Matt, as if he was my own brother, and Casey and I both adore Nic, his new wife, as well. I was looking forward to their wedding.
    But, duty called.
    Duty always calls.
    “So, what brings you to New Orleans?”
    “Neither of us has ever been. I want to get away for a few days and we don’t have time to go out of the country. With her bakery, and the force, we can’t take that much time off of work.”
    “Will she bring some cupcakes with her?” I ask with a smile. God, that woman can bake. “Casey would love it.”
    “Don’t bullshit me. You would love it.”
    “Tomato/tom-ah-to,” I reply.
    “I’ll mention it to her. What dates work?”
    “Nothing works. I’ll make it work, though. I’m in the middle of a serial case. Maybe I can bounce some ideas off you.”
    “The Tulane University case?” he asks with surprise.
    “You’ve heard of it?”
    “A serial killer makes the national news, partner.” I grin at the nickname. “Don’t worry about us. Just make time for dinner. We can show ourselves around.”
    “I’ll make time,” I reply as I approach the green and white awning of Café du Monde. Sitting at a table at the edge of the seating area is a pretty redhead and gorgeous brunette, and I smile widely as I slow down to a walk. “I have to go, partner. Just e-mail me the details. Looking forward to seeing you.”
    “Me too. See you soon.”
    I end the call and approach the wrought iron railing that the girls are sitting next to, their heads together, talking and nibbling on beignets.
    Lila licks her lips and my dick immediately stirs to life.
    I want to feel that tongue on me .
    “Good morning, ladies.”
    They both look up in surprise. Kate smiles, and Lila’s mouth drops open as her eyes roam up and down my naked torso, making me chuckle.
    She likes what she sees.
    Which is damn convenient because she’s about to see a lot of me.

    “These should be illegal,” Kate says and takes a bite of her piping-hot, powdered sugar-covered nugget of deliciousness. I simply nod in agreement because my mouth is too full of my own nugget of deliciousness to speak.
    When I finally swallow and take a drink of my coffee, I lick my lips and smile at my friend. “Thanks for tearing yourself away from sexy Eli to have breakfast with me.”
    “I don’t have to be with him 24/7,” she says with a roll of the eyes. “Besides, he had to leave early for a morning meeting.”
    “So things are still going well?” I ask before taking another bite.
    “Yep,” she replies. “We have our moments when we want to strangle each other, which I assume is normal when you live with someone¸ but then we just have crazy awesome sex and all is better.”
    I laugh. “Well, here’s to crazy hot sex.” I salute her and take a sip of coffee. “Not that I remember.”
    “That’s your own fault,” Kate says. “You could so get laid.”
    “I’m not exactly the one-night stand type, and I don’t have time to date.”
    “Bullshit and bullshit.”
    “Excuse me?”
    “You had a one-night stand with Asher, and you do have time to date, you just choose not to.”
    “My job takes up a lot of my time,” I insist and glance over at a man as he starts to play his saxophone not too far away. “And I don’t usually do the one-night stand thing. I’m way too responsible for that.”
    “Everyone’s job takes up a lot of time,” Kate says and waves me off as if I’m being ridiculous. “It’s all about priorities. If seeing someone is important, you’ll make room for him.” She tosses me her sly Cheshire cat grin and pulls another beignet apart before popping part of it in her mouth. “And now that Asher is back, you can make room for him.”
    “I knew you were going to start with this.”
    “What’s wrong with
