“DH.” I BLINDLY POKE AT the body beside me and connect with something—his side, his arm, his abs… they’re all equally firm—but he doesn’t budge. “Wake up.” I shake him.

“A little lower and to the left would be nice,” he murmurs.

“Is sex all you think about?” I joke.

“It’s hard not to when you’re lying half-naked beside me.”

A sliver of light from the bathroom falls on his side of the bed, giving me a peek at the sleepy smile on his face. “Your phone was ringing.”

“Whoever it is can call back at a decent hour. I’m too tired to move.”

I laugh and nuzzle into his chest. “So much for ‘a little lower and to the left.’”

“I can make an exception if it’s worth my while. Especially if you’re on top again.” His hand trails up my side and finds my breast right as his phone rings again.

“Sounds like it’s important,” I say, an inkling of doubt creeping in. Is he getting a booty call? I reach for my phone on my nightstand to check the time before remembering that I left it in the kitchen when I answered the door last night. I haven’t been out of my room since DH carried me here, unless you count our trip to the shower.

He rolls to the side of the bed and fishes his phone out of the back pocket of his jeans. “Hello?” The irritation in his voice is comforting. He obviously wasn’t expecting this call and isn’t happy about it. “Thanks, Iniguez. I’ll be there in twenty.” DH throws the phone on the bed and rubs his hands over his face, then curses and throws the sheet back. “That was the police department. They brought in two suspects who were caught breaking and entering some guy’s house. They found my address in one of their pockets.”

“So why do you have to go down there?”

“Rhoads Auto has had a contract with Moore PD for about 15 years. I asked the guys to do me a favor and keep an eye on the shop after my mother showed up. Sheila’s bad news, and I have a gut feeling that she’s up to something. Iniguez wants me to check out some mugshots to see if anyone looks familiar.”

DH stands up and pulls his pants on—which is a damn shame, because I could stare at his naked body for hours—then scans the floor for his shirt.

“It’s still in the hallway.” When he returns to my room, I’m dressed in yoga pants and a pink Taylor Swift shirt.

He drapes his arms over me and kisses the tip of my nose. “You don’t have to come with me. It’s two in the morning. You should go back to sleep.”

“I know I don’t have to come, but I want to.”

He rocks back on his heels and tips his head to the side. “Why?”

“Because you don’t have to be alone anymore.” I unwrap my arms from his waist and slide my hand down his forearm, hooking my first finger onto his pinky.
