CHAPTER ONE
Craig
“Reese!”
I ran to catch up to her outside the school where she taught. I had Becky run a background check on her so I could find out where she lived and worked. I figured it would be a little creepy to show up at her house, but work was good. There were other people around and she would feel safe.
I took in every inch of her as she turned toward me. She was short, maybe 5’ 3”, but she was so damn beautiful. She was curvy and had blonde hair in one of those pixie haircuts. It looked damn good on her too.
She turned and her eyes widened. She looked around quickly, so I followed her gaze, thinking she saw something suspicious. “What’s wrong? Is someone after you?”
“No,” she said incredulously. “Why would you assume that?”
“Because you were looking around, like there was danger or something.”
“Yeah, you’re the danger! Why are you here?”
“Because I wanted to talk to you. I feel like we got off on the wrong foot in the coffee shop and you’ve been ignoring my calls-”
“Because I didn’t give you my number.”
“Well, I didn’t get it on our date-”
“We never had a date. Look, it was nice to meet you, but there’s nothing going on between us. We aren’t dating.”
I scratched the back of my neck, not sure why she was denying what I saw clear as day. “Okay, I can see how you would think that there’s nothing between us. I mean, high intensity situations cause stress on new relationships.”
“We’re not in a relationship.”
“But we could be,” I grinned. “See, I think you’re not really giving me a chance here. We had a connection back in that coffee shop.”
“What we had was some banter before I found out that you murder people for a living!”
I shook my head slightly. “See, that’s not entirely accurate. First, I told you that I worked in security, and I even told you that sometimes I took out the bad guys. I never lied about that. And second, I never ever murder anyone. I strategically take out people that should otherwise be dead or imprisoned because they’re really bad people.”
She stared at me dumbfounded and I grinned, thinking I had gotten through to her. “I don’t believe it.”
“You’re starting to come around, am I right?”
“Are you really this…obtuse?”
“Okay, I resent that. I’m not stupid. I’ll admit, there are some times that I can be a little…oblivious and it’s gotten me into trouble, but I know exactly what happened in that coffee shop and you do t
oo. You can’t deny that we had something.”
“Yes, I can. We didn’t have anything in the coffee shop. See? I just denied it.”
“I object your denial,” I said firmly.
“What? You can’t just…ugh!”
“You’re so cute when you get flustered. I could just pick you up and carry you around in my pocket all the time.”
She glared at me and stomped past me to her car.
“So, should I pick you up tonight?”
“No!” She spun around, putting her hands on her hips as she stared me down. “I don’t want to go out tonight. In fact, I don’t want to see you ever again!”
She got into her car and slammed the door. I went over and knocked on her window. "Seven?”
She threw her car in reverse and squealed out of the parking lot. “Hey, this is a twenty mile an hour zone!” I shouted.
I grinned as I walked back to my truck. I had a date for tonight and it was going to be great. I just had to figure out what to wear. And I needed to get in a workout and get rid of some of this pent up frustration that I had. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that little pixie on her knees, sucking my cock. It made me so hard that I was constantly walking around feeling like I had a pole down my pants.
When I walked into the training area at Reed Security, I was pleasantly surprised to see Alec and Florrie sparring. This was perfect. I needed some good advice, and seeing as how they both just went through a bunch of shit, I figured they would have some good perspective.
“Hey.” I gave a chin lift to Alec and pulled Florrie in for a hug. I was feeling the love today, even if she wasn’t. She punched me in the shoulder.
“What’s with you?” she grumbled.
I spread my arms wide and grinned. “I’m in love.”
“What?” Alec spat. “What the fuck are you talking about?”
“Reese,” I reminded him.
“Yeah, but I thought you hadn’t been on a date with her.”
“Well, no, but it’s only a matter of time,” I said with a smile. “I saw her today and I’m taking her out to dinner tonight.”
“How did you convince her?” Florrie asked. “I thought she didn’t want anything to do with you after the coffee shop.”
“Well, okay, technically, she didn’t agree to go out with me to dinner, but I figured that if I showed up at her door, she couldn’t turn me down.”
They both just stood there and stared at me. I was starting to feel like maybe they didn’t think this was such a good idea.
“Are you trying to get arrested?” Alec asked. “I mean, if you show up at her house and she doesn’t want you there, she’s calling the police on your ass.”
I chuckled slightly. He thought he was so smart. “Come on, we have it pretty good with the police. I’m not seeing me getting arrested.”
“Okay, I know I’m the only female here and it took me a while to admit that I love Alec, but what makes you think that you really love her? Or that she’s going to fall for you?”
“I’m glad you brought that up, because I was wondering, do you think you would have realized how stupid you were being sooner if you and Alec had actually dated?”
“What the fuck are you doing?” Alec growled. “Shut the fuck up.”
“No, I’m interested,” Florrie said, looking at me intently. “Is that how you think you’re going to win her over? By forcing her to date you?”
I shifted uncomfortably at her implications. “I’m not forcing her to do anything. She just hasn’t gotten a chance to really know me. See, if I show up enough, she’ll realize that maybe I’ll just leave her alone if she goes on one date with me. And that’s when I make my move.”
“You throw her in the trunk of you car and kidnap her?”
“No,” I chuckled. “Why would I…I’m not psycho.”
“Look,” Florrie stepped forward and placed her hands on my shoulders. I looked to my left shoulder and raised an eyebrow. This wasn’t like Florrie, so it had me a little concerned. “You can’t show up at her house tonight. She’s going to freak out and you will end up in jail.”
“No,” I laughed. “You just don’t understand how charming I can be.”
She sighed and backed up. Alec held out his hand to me. “Good luck tonight. I’ll be waiting for your call.”
“My call?”
He turned with Florrie and headed for the ring. “From jail.”
