CHAPTER TWELVE

Dan was warm. Too warm. He went to toss off his covers, but there was only a light sheet over him. And a soft, warm body next to him. His eyes snapped open. It was dark, and he lifted his head to check the clock. Almost four. He should go. Mack shifted and murmured something, then settled back against him.

There was just enough glow through the curtains from the lights in the parking lot to cast soft shadows on Mack’s face. He studied her, wondering what it was that made her completely irresistible to him. She was pretty, but he knew plenty of good-looking women. She was fun, and that was different, but then again… Gallant Lake was full of fun-loving people. But no woman made him laugh as easily as Mackenzie Wallace did. And for sure, no woman made him lose his head the way she did when they kissed.

And the sex. The sex was incredible. The stuff of wet dreams, not reality. He frowned. He’d been in a bad spot when he got here last night. He probably shouldn’t have come up. But she’d ordered him to. He ran his finger down her arm. She twitched but didn’t wake. Big bad police officer taking orders from a woman he couldn’t shake. Not from his dreams. Not from his life. Not yet, anyway.

He kissed the soft skin behind her ear, and she stirred again. She made a low sound, and her eyes swept open. She turned and smiled at him over her shoulder.

“Hey, you.” Her voice was still thick with sleep.

“Hey, yourself.”

Tonight was great, but it wasn’t serious. He had to leave. He couldn’t sleep over. So many smart things he should say. He rolled her onto her back.

“I want you.”

Funny how the truth always came out when he was with her. Her eyes went dark, and her smile deepened.

“You had to wake me to tell me that?”

“Yup.” He kissed her, grinning against her mouth as her arms wrapped around him.

“Good choice.”

Mack whispered his name, and any scraps of doubt left his head completely.

Their first time had been intense. Hard. Fast. Passionate. Fun. But this time was slower. Smoother. Softer. Quieter. And even better.

Afterward, they stayed locked in an embrace. Mack quickly fell asleep, but Dan was wide-awake. He stared up into the dark. He hadn’t exactly been celibate since his divorce, but it wasn’t easy doing the casual dating thing when you were the local law. He had to be careful about whom he socialized with in public. He didn’t need people seeing him partying or having a one-night stand with some woman or catching him sneaking out in a walk of shame afterward. His reputation wasn’t just important to him personally—it reflected on his job, his daughter, his ex, his whole Sheriff Dan shtick. He drew in a long breath. It was a lot to live up to.

Right now, wrapped up in Mackenzie Wallace, all he could think was how much he wanted to stay. How much he wanted to make love to her again tonight, and tomorrow night, and the night after that.
