Free Faye's Spirit by Saskia Walker

small article, but it mentions the death of a woman who worked locally. It describes the accident and says that she was single and worked as a cook in a local business.”
    She sat back in her chair.
    “Useful?”
    “I hope so. It means I can ask more leading questions the next time she appears.” She rose to her feet, apparently enthused by what she’d found out.

    Jai admired that quality about her. And many others.
    After they’d returned the microfiches they made their way back to the car. He held the passenger door open for her and watched as she got in. She moved like a dancer, somehow elegant and graceful even in her bohemian gear, as if she’d done ballet or something.
    Whatever, it appealed to him. And to Garth. Yes, being around Faye had revealed a side of Garth he hadn’t seen before, one that his old friend had previously denied.
    He got into the driver’s seat and put the key in the ignition, then paused. It was past midday, but he knew Garth would be handling things at the site. Faye looked as if she needed to talk.
    Faye had her head back against the head rest and seemed deep in thought.
    “What are you thinking?”
    “Well, we now know the cause of death. It was a car accident on an icy road. No suspicious circumstances. Not that the police recorded, at any rate.”
    “What did you think it might be?”
    She shrugged and turned to look at him. “Sadly, several cases I’ve encountered have been suicides, and that’s what held them to our world.”
    Jai didn’t have an answer to that, mostly because he could see that she carried some of the sadness she’d experienced.
    As if she grew aware of him studying her, she focused. “Maud’s was a tragic death but it was an accident. Mind you, I’m glad I don’t have to tell Garth that someone died in dubious circumstances in his house.”
    “No, that is good news. Garth really doesn’t need any more reasons to take himself seriously.”
    “Yes, I can see you are dedicated to helping lighten him up.” The warmth in her smile made Jai doubly aware of how much he liked her.
    “I like the guy, I figured out I could help him out with that.”
    Her eyes twinkled. “In for the long haul, huh?”
    She was very astute, and he felt the humour of the moment passing between them as she locked gazes with him.

    “It does seem to have become a life cause.” He shifted in his seat and turned to face her properly. “It was good to see him loosening up a bit last night. Everybody needs a little bit of kinky sex in their lives.”
    Recognition flickered in her eyes. “How kinky do you like to get?”
    Trailing his fingers along her thigh, he looked directly into her eyes a bit longer.
    Faye’s lips parted and her eyes darkened. She was such a sensual, responsive woman.
    “I’m all for experimentation, going with the flow when life presents intriguing opportunities. Last night was good. Garth was turned on, even when he wasn’t getting in on the act.” He winked at her. “He wouldn’t admit it though.”
    “And you?”
    “Of course, I love watching sex.” He eased his fingers over the curve of her thigh and between her legs. “I enjoy experimenting, capturing the moment. Life is short, after all.”
    Her eyes widened and she nodded down at his roving hand. “This is what you mean by going with the flow?”
    “You’re a very attractive woman, and you haven’t slapped my wrist…you haven’t crossed your legs and crushed my hand…yet.” He gave her his cheekiest grin. “I figure you’re going with the flow, as am I.”
    He moved his hand higher and cupped her pussy through her underwear. Then he reached in for a kiss.
    She returned his kiss immediately and looped her hands around his neck as if she’d been waiting for it. Her hips moved, and he could feel the heat of her pussy in his hand.
