Chapter 5

Craig sat at his desk, fingers on his keyboard, eyes on his monitor. But all he was seeing were pictures inside his own head. Nita Reynolds in her elevator. On her dining room table. In that hot skirt. In nothing at all.

And God help him, as she slept in his arms, warm and trusting and entirely defenseless.

How could he have fallen for her?

Because you’ve been half way in love with her from the first time she tried to skewer you on the witness stand.

“Uh-oh. I think I know that look.”

Ray Morgan’s voice startled the hell out of him, but Craig managed not to jump out of his skin. “Dammit, Razor, someone oughta hang a bell on you.”

Ray handed him a coffee. “No need. My knees are getting creakier by the year. You’ll soon be able to hear me coming.” Ray plunked himself down in Sean Casey’s vacant chair and opened his own coffee. “So, what’s the story? You’re looking like a man with a woman on his mind. And not in the good way.”

“Oh, Christ.” Craig glanced around the empty bullpen. “That obvious?”

“The last time I saw a face like that was in my own mirror when Grace and I had that trouble last year.”

That trouble was a Russian mob boss who’d put himself between Ray and his wife.

“You guys almost died, Razor. I don’t think this compares.”

“Yeah, but the almost dying part wasn’t the worst part.” He leaned back in the chair and kicked his feet up on Casey’s desk. “The worst part was thinking I’d lost her. And that’s the look you were wearing just now.”

Craig busied himself opening his coffee lid. “Again, hardly compares. You and Grace had been married for years. I’m talking one night. It’s nothing.”

Ray took a sip of his coffee, then put it down on the desk. “Bullshit.”

“Excuse me?”

“Okay, maybe you were with her just one night, but no way a woman you’ve only just met messes you up like this. It’s gotta be someone you’ve been stuck on a while. Which explains why you’d never let Grace set you up.”

“No, I never let Grace set me up because I’m not interested in a relationship.”

“Sorry if I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but I repeat, bullshit. You want a relationship, all right, but you want it with this woman, not someone Grace has in mind for you.”

“Gee, thanks, Dr. Phil.”

“Dr. Phil?” Razor swung his feet to the floor and sat up in the chair. “Dr. Fucking Phil? I could shoot you right now and be completely exonerated by the Police Commission.”

Craig snorted. “You’re probably right.”

“Goddamn right I am.” He pushed to his feet. “Enjoy your coffee.”

“Ray?”

The other man stopped and turned. “Yeah?”

Shit, why was this stuff so damned hard to talk about? “You’re right. I guess I do want a relationship. But she doesn’t. She just wanted … well, what she wanted, she got last night, shall we say.”

“Are you sure about that?”

“Ahhhhh, yuh. Pretty sure. When I want to cuddle more than she does, the writing’s on the wall.
