Chapter 8

She’d barely closed the door of her condo when the chime sounded. Sighing, Melina turned back and pulled it open. Seeing who it was, she left the door wide and turned again to make her way to a chair. She badly needed to sit after her not-so-wise, cane-assisted hike to the pet store.

“Come in, Beckett. I know you’re going to anyway.”

Gower grinned as he stepped across the threshold and closed the door. “Boy, we need to work on your greetings. Hi Gower. Good to see you. Hi Melina. It’s good to see you too. Come on—try it with me. It’s called being friendly.”

Melina didn’t answer his sarcastic comments until she was seated with her foot propped up.

“Why do you come here every day? Is this one of those cases where I saved your ass, so now I own it for life? It sure feels that way.”

“No. But I like how you’re thinking about my ass. I know I keep thinking similar thoughts about yours,” Gower teased, walking over to sit across from her. “You look tired, Melina. Did you go out for a morning walk?”

Melina snorted. “My damn Sergeant Major isn’t as nosy as you are.”

Gower chuckled at her complaining, mostly because there was no venom in it today. “I’d be willing to bet he’s that nosy with his wife… or girlfriend. That’s a hint about why I’m here by the way. Keep trying to guess. I’m sure you’ll figure it out soon.”

Melina sighed. “I took a long walk this morning and now I’m paying for it. Apparently the cast gave me more support than I knew. I fucked up going out. End of story.”

Shaking his head, Gower rose and went to retrieve a dining chair from her small kitchen table. He brought it back and sat facing her. He patted his lap. “Foot up. I need to rub that ankle so it doesn’t swell on you. As you may recall, I’m an expert at rubbing.”

“And at innuendo,” Melina added. His grin was infectious and she ended up grinning back. “You’re a pain in my ass, Beckett.”

“Never,” Gower declared, reaching down to lift her foot. “I’m not into high country rear entry maneuvers. I’m a straight forward kind of sexual partner. Doggie style only by mutual agreement and I’m extremely careful.”

Melina snorted and then chuckled. “Do you ever listen to what you’re saying? You sound like a male prostitute.”

Gower smiled at the insult as he pulled off her shoe. He left her sock on so her foot wouldn’t get cold. “What I’m saying is that I’m an honest, fairly trustworthy guy who deserves a chance to be your bed partner.”

Melina closed her eyes. “And I suppose you think I should sleep with you because you’re such an expert on rubbing my feet?”

“No,” Gower said softly. “You should sleep with me because you want to sleep with me. There really isn’t any other good reason for that sort of thing. But I am a nice guy. I’m not over-selling myself.”

Melina closed her eyes.
