AN ASSASSINATION INVESTIGATION (1)

Xaden looked over the body as Erik returned.

"I just called in Damian. He is coming in," Erik said, and then he looked Xaden over. "You're still butt naked."

"My bare ass is barely the thing to be noticed. I have a dessert assassin lying dead in my bath." Xaden said.

"It can't be that bad." Erik said. "You could have died. But I didn't."

"Yeah, I didn't, and you coming in to save me was a waste of time," Xaden said. You barely did anything to her—if you did at all."

"But at least I interrupted your murder." Erik said.

"A blade won't kill me." Xaden said. Then, it occurred to Xaden.

He turned to face Erik, but he had already left the bath.

Xaden followed him.

"How did you just come at the nick of time?" Xaden asked suspiciously. "You burst in like you knew something bad was going to happen to me."

"Of course I did. I'm your gamma, and we have telepathy," Erik joked as he picked up a robe and handed it to Xaden.
