They rode back to the funeral parlor in comfortable silence. Lexy was surprised, and a bit dismayed, to discover she had enjoyed Jack’s company.

She’d even liked flirting with him, although she told herself it was to try to get information. It had paid off too because now, at least, the blackmail angle gave her something to go on. She felt a little bad about not telling Jack that Kevin had been asking about her but she figured it might not be smart to tell him things which could cast suspicion on her.

Jack parked near her car, then jumped out to open the door for her. They walked over to her car slowly, enjoying the warm summer evening, the sound of peepers chirping filled the honeysuckle scented air.

Lexy unlocked her car turning to face Jack. “Thanks for supper. I can’t believe I’ve never been there before - the food is wonderful!”

“You’re welcome,” Jack said, then reached into his pocket producing the key to her bakery. “Here’s your key. I’m sorry about having to keep your bakery closed.”

Lexy reached out to retrieve the key and her fingers brushed his as she took it, causing a tingle of excitement.

Lexy looked up at him, her stomach flip flopped at the way he was looking at her with his gorgeous golden brown eyes. Was he going to kiss her?

Jack leaned in towards her. She felt her breath catch in her throat. His lips met hers. Soft. Casual.

Lexy snaked an arm around his neck, pressing her body closer, wanting more. She felt his strong arms around her waist, pulling her in tighter. His lips pressing harder. His tongue probing.

The shrill ring of Jacks cell phone broke the spell. He pulled away, wrenching the phone from is pocket.

“Hello,” he barked the greeting into the phone. “Yes. Where. Darling. I’ll be there.”

He turned to Lexy. “I’m sorry, I have to go out on a call. I’ll call you later.” The last sentence was more a question than a statement.

Lexy, managed a nod, still too breathless from the kiss to speak. She watched him get in his car and speed off.

Lexy stood in the parking lot for a moment, her lips still burning from his kiss. What the heck had she been thinking?

Even though she couldn’t deny the warm, tingly glow she felt when she was near him, kissing the handsome detective could add a bunch of complications to her life which she just didn’t need now - and who had he called darling on the phone?

Her eyelid started to twitch nervously. The last thing Lexy needed was to get involved with a guy who had a girlfriend. Better to keep her hormones in check and stay away from Detective Jack Perillo.

She hopped in her car. Being in an empty funeral parlor parking lot at night creeped her out. She couldn’t help but think of the man she had talked to at the wake. She wasn’t sure what he had meant or if his words were a warning intended to keep her safe or a threat intended to scare her off.
