considered his strategy,
noting the way the smaller vehicle’s hood dipped in response to the application
of brakes. She’d been flying along.
    She pulled the Bimmer over, and he
drifted on by, to pull a three point turn and come up behind her. Candace hadn’t
made eye contact at all, staring straight ahead through the windshield, and he
figured she had to know it was him. She didn’t cut his two deputies dead when
they either spoke or approached her. As he parked he reached for his hat,
running a finger along the brim, before exiting the vehicle. He took his time
settling it on his head, watching Candace’s profile in the side mirror, willing
his professionalism to the fore when all he really wanted to do was drag her
back to the cruiser, handcuffed, and take her home with him. Someplace
safe—and easily accessible for both their pleasure. The plan suddenly
came together.
    Approaching the open window, he
spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. “You were hitting seventy, Candace. We’ve had
this discussion before.”
    She didn’t reply, instead thrusting
her paperwork toward him. Her picture on the license didn’t fit with the stony
visage looking dead ahead. Despite the customary, don’t smile, hair tucked behind your ears , dictates of the DMV,
Candace’s full mouth, with its eminently bitable bottom lip somehow quirked up
at the corners, and there was no mistaking the sparkle in those baby blues.
Just as he remembered her—full of life and joy, bubbly, vivacious, and all
those adjectives people applied to her. But then, he’d admit he’d hardly given
her anything to smile about, primarily because she wouldn’t give him the time
of day. That was gonna change.
    Tugging the license and
registration from her stiff fingers, he decided to play her game. “Step out of
the vehicle, Miss Grant.”
    That garnered him a wary look, a
quick glance that she instantly modified into boredom. He didn’t miss the way
she flickered her eyes to her watch. Was she meeting someone? On her way to a hot date? Sheridan lay in that direction, and whatever
Candace got up to, she didn’t do it in Barrister. The rumors he’d overheard
flourished, of course, in a town that throve on gossip, but her father’s money
and position served to feed such things. Resentment and bitterness always
lurked beneath the superficial, often fake, regard, when people were beholden.
Reece had access to a different form of contacts and knew the truth of some of
those rumors. He wasn’t surprised about Candace’s interests, merely
disappointed he hadn’t been able to guide her and take the journey with her.
But he’d done what he had to back then. That she hadn’t accepted his
explanation and apology, wouldn’t even give him the opportunity to discuss it
further, grated him raw.
    He opened her door and stood back,
breaking procedure, instantly grateful for the way the door frame concealed his
sudden erection, his cock saluting the vision emerging from the Bimmer without
any regard for his bigger brain. The top she wore, if one could call it that, as
it hardly covered her attributes, cried out for him to touch the silky fabric
and tug on those discreetly concealed laces. The length of shapely leg revealed
by the short skirt flirting around her thighs forced his hands to grip the
metal until he thought it might groan beneath his grasp. Better it than the sound
he barely managed to swallow.
    Once again his woman was on the prowl, no matter if she didn’t know she was his. He was
damned if he’d let her take what she was offering up to Sheridan or any other
place loaded with men who couldn’t possibly appreciate her the way he planned. Disappointment
again soured him, and he impatiently shoved it aside. He’d waited long enough.
    “What?” A hint of nervousness
whispered through the aloof question.
    “This is the third time, Miss
Grant. I assume you recall what the consequences are for speeding. Three
strikes.”
    Narrowing, blue eyes locked with his
