to making love, she was able to
achieve the next best thing with him in these soft winded skies – a connection.
As her legs wrapped firmly around his forever beautiful back, and her hands
were given to touch his warm and impenetrable neck, she couldn’t help but
imagine the two of them lying together. Naked in each other’s arms.
    She didn’t
know exactly where Zane was going to take them. Stacey had doubts about
returning to their apartment, as though there would be some missing piece of
the puzzle there. The more she thought about what they were doing, the less
sense it made. But at the same time, to know that Zane was fighting for her –
that he was willing to stand up for her when no one else had… It gave her hope.
    Zane knew
more about Stacey and her background than she would ever have thought was
possible. When they landed on the roof of a tall building, Stacey looked below
them, and didn’t immediately recognize where she was. It was only after she had
properly dismounted and Zane had shifted back into his original form, that the
plan was announced.
    “So are you
going to show me where this all took place?” he asked.
    Stacey’s
mouth fell open, amidst her surprise.
    “Hey,” Zane
said. “Are you alright?”
    Stacey felt
the tears in her eyes, which made her even more embarrassed.
    Zane put his
arms round her for comfort. He pulled her into his chest.
    “What is it?”
    “No one’s
ever been so nice to me,” she gushed. “I’ve had other boyfriends, but they
would never –”
    “You’re worth
it though, right?”
    He stepped
back from her. Looked into her eyes.
    “I don’t
know,” Stacey mumbled. “No.”
    Zane
proceeded to kiss her. Long, hard, deep. She didn’t know what he was doing.
    Then she
realized.
    He was making
her feel worth it.

 
    CHAPTER
FOURTEEN
     
     
    To be lost in his arms. To feel as
though there was nothing in the world that could stand between them. Stacey had
ridden Zane to and through the clouds, but as they stood upon this building
now, she knew they’d never been higher before.
    Still
interlocked, she laughed, and then watched her laughter light up his eyes. He
then grabbed a hold of her hand and led her towards exit door.
    “You have a
very nice laugh,” Zane said solemnly. “But out of respect for your friend –”
    “Right,”
Stacey said. Except they weren’t exactly friends.
    Zane opened
the door and the two of them entered the top floor and proceeded through
another door which led them to stairs leading downward.
    “So you
mentioned that your friend might have killed herself…”
    “Yes,” Stacey
answered. “That’s my suspicion.”
    “Why do you
think that?”
    “Right before
she died she left this horrible Facebook message saying she was afraid I was
going to kill her. We’d just got into this fight a day or so before about her
borrowing my clothes and … taking my food without asking.”
    “She was stealing?”
    “I don’t
know. I had food there in the pantry and it went missing. Nothing big, just a
few tins. And of course she was the only one who could have taken them. But she
denied it and … it got a bit ugly.”
    “That doesn’t
sound that ugly. Not something one would kill herself over.”
    “Look, I … I
don’t know if she did, or why she did or … I just know I didn’t do it.”
    They reached
the next floor and moved through the passageway. “Which floor are you on?”
    “The one
below this one.”
    They found
the next set of stairs and continued downward.
    “We’re not
going to find anything,” Stacey said. “Whatever would be there, the police
would have found it. I don’t really…”
    “Hush,” Zane
cut her off. “Let me be the judge of that.”
    “Okay.”
    Soon they
reached Stacey’s floor and she led Zane to her apartment. The door was shut and
locked. Before she had a chance to speak and offer more words of caution, Zane
pounded his fist loudly on the door.
    When there
was no answer, he called out,
