Eddie and Amy sparred again in the evening, but his head wasn’t in the game. He took the boat out to clear his mind. He still felt like a heel for accusing Amy of flirting with Vince and telling her he wanted nothing from her before kissing her like she was his lifeline. The woman pushed his buttons every time she opened her mouth. He had to come up with a way to deal with her or go crazy.

Leaving while her ex was still a threat was out of the question. Ignoring her wasn’t a good idea either. He’d tried it and hated it. He liked hearing her voice, the catch in her breath before she laughed, the way she wasn’t afraid to stand up to him or laugh at him.

“You’re going to be okay once you stop fighting it, bro,” were Chase’s last words before he hopped on the plane. Eddie now knew the attention his cousin had paid Amy hadn’t been serious.

“It’s going to be fun watching him crash and burn,” Ron had added, smirking.

Eddie could still hear their laughter. Was he fighting a losing battle with Amy? There was something about her that touched him deep to his core and no matter what he did, the feeling refused to go away. Maybe it had something to do with her present predicament. He was often at his best, or worst, depending how one looked at it, when he was on a case. It often consumed him, leaving little room for anything else. Maybe once he had Nolan behind bars, the need to protect Amy and never let her out of his sight would go away. Or maybe he should sleep with her and get her out of his system.

Even as the thought crossed his mind, he knew it was idiotic. If he needed to get laid, he knew who to call. An image of Clarissa flashed in his head. Long legs, model-slim, blonde hair perfectly cut and styled, intelligent brown…no, hazel eyes. He was sure they were hazel.

He killed the engine and pulled out his cell phone from its holder and speed dialed her number. What had Amy called Clarissa? A booty call. Eddie chuckled.

“Yes?” Clarissa’s melodic voice drifted over the line.

Eddie waited for the rush of heat that usually accompanied the sound of her voice or thoughts of her, but it didn’t come, confirming his fears. He was no longer excited by other women. First Lauren, now his regular sex partner. Maybe seeing her would do the trick.

“Who is this?” she asked sharply.

“It’s me.” They’d been seeing each other for nine months and she still hadn’t added his number to her list of contacts.

“Eddie? What a surprise! Are you back?”

“No. I’m still in Sandpoint. Do you want to come and join me?”

There was silence then a dry chuckle. “Sweetie, I don’t do backcountry. Second, I have work. I thought we had an understanding.”

Clarissa was a stickler for rules. They hooked up on Fridays and that was it.
