been rejected again as Jake he rolled off her. Then he reached down to pull her to her feet in a move so quick it made her dizzy. She might have wobbled just a little but she thought he was going a bit too far when he gave her a look of concern and shoved her down onto a shabby armchair.
    “Put your head between your knees if you think you’re going to faint,” he gritted out before heading for the door.
    Well, doesn’t he have a high opinion of his sexual prowess? She watched him walk away. But her body was still quivering with little after spasms and her toes were only now starting to uncurl so she kept seated admiring his sexy behind as he walked away.
    He tore the door open moving to pretty much cover the opening. “I need you to stand down, Officer Stone,” he said.
    A hand shot out to keep him from closing it, a dainty female hand. “Not so fast, stud. The silent alarm went off and you know the drill.”
    Officer Stone? “Kathy,” Samantha cried out happily, recognizing her childhood girlfriend’s snarky tone and springing off the sofa to race to the door. Ignoring Ramsey’s quelling frown, she eased past him to see her pal on the doorstep. “Hey, girl, I heard you’d joined the force. What’s going on here?”
    “Sammy Jo,” Kathy squealed with delight, her eyes going big and she leapt forward to hug her saying, “I wasn’t expecting to see you here.”
    Samantha hugged her back hearing the concern in Kathy’s voice. What is going on here? She let her go asking, “I’m just on an impromptu vacation. What’s all this about a silent alarm? Since when does this old place rate one of them?” She felt Jake tense next to her and didn’t need to look at him to know he was giving Kathy one of his patented repressive glowers. Tough, she needed to know. But when she put the focus back on Kathy, she saw the same repressive cop stare. Oh shit, they are both keeping secrets.

    There was a certain ring of truth to what he was saying. It did explain the studly PI’s state of partial undress like he’d just rolled out of bed. She looked at the cabin seeing his shoes by the door, a new chenille throw on the sofa and let out a sigh.
    “You okay, girlfriend?” Kathy asked in a concerned tone, looking from Samantha to Jake. And then she smiled, her eyes widening.
    Samantha blushed knowing Kathy was staring at the impressive hard-on still tenting Jake’s pants. A blush that made her heat up all over. Then she glanced down at herself and noted her white skirt was still hitched up high around her ass and her silk blouse had come open revealing her new red lace bra. It had been her let’s go seduce Grayson and find out if we’re sexually compatible outfit. In retrospect a big mistake. Then she caught Jake’s sultry gaze on her and changed her opinion shivering with delight. Maybe she could salvage something out of this dicey situation. “I’m fine, girlfriend.”
    “So I noticed,” Kathy said with a smile.
    Samantha flashed a rueful smile knowing Kathy was well aware of her yen for the forbidden fruit of Jake Ramsey. “With a big mouth like that, I’m surprised they let you on the force.”
    Kathy grinned. “They had to take me. I aced the exam and besides I come from a long line of cops.”

    Samantha held back a gasp as he tried to throw her out. How could he after what we’d just shared? It was the dash of cold water she needed to cool her arousal. But if he thought she’d actually run he was dead wrong.
