Chapter Thirteen

Mallory looked out her window each time a car passed by her house. Hendrick was due to arrive any minute and her lack of patience was being felt by the carpet under her pacing feet. She couldn’t believe she was so enamored with the man she was acting like a schoolgirl getting ready to go on her first date.

She couldn’t stop thinking about their kiss at the ballgame. It had been hot and sexy and everything she’d ever dreamed a kiss would be. So instead of acting like the mature adult she was, she’d spent the morning changing her outfit and shoes, and then fixing and re-fixing her hair and makeup.

Of course, she didn’t care too much for a bunch of cake on her face, so the waterproof mascara and liner and a hint of lipstick was what she’d settled on. She assumed she’d be sweaty and possibly muddy within the hour, so she didn’t understand why grooming seemed so necessary.

Hendrick Meeks. That’s why. Dammit.

But after a game of soccer, he’d told her they would be off to another adventure, so she’d gone through her clothes again, choosing two outfits she had stashed in her backpack so she could change. He’d refused to tell her what they were doing after soccer, but had said to bring nice clothes, preferably a dress, but saying a pair of dress jeans and heels were just fine. She wanted to pack yoga pants and a hoodie to be defiant. She might be able to act as if she didn’t care in front of him, but she knew the truth.

She was waiting with the cliché bated breath.

As she was glancing in the hallway mirror for the eightieth time, her ears caught the sound of a car stopping and a door shutting. He’d arrived. Was she going to have him come inside? Could she trust herself enough to show him around, give him a tour of her small but modern home? Nope. That wasn’t a good idea as her clothes, including her panties and bra, were currently thrown on the bathroom floor.

She’d gotten home late the night before, had been more than a little buzzed, and beyond sexually frustrated, and cleaning had been the last thing on her mind. Then she’d woken late after tossing and turning for hours and had been in a rush to get ready before Hendrick arrived. Hendrick was most definitely not coming inside . . . at least not yet.

He knocked on her door, and she found herself flinging it open within a second. She should’ve stood in front of it and taken some deep breaths first. The sight of him made her knees a little wobbly.

“Good morning,” Hendrick said in that voice that did beautiful things to her body.

“Good morning; you’re right on time. I just finished getting ready,” Mallory said. She was having to constantly remind herself she wasn’t a teenager on a first date. They were partners working on an important case.

She stepped outside, firmly shutting the door behind her, bringing the two of them beautifully close.
