Chapter Eight

Six feet of blue uniform, gleaming badge and a nasty smile: Airport Security again! This one waited for him at the door to the rest room when he made his exit. Luke shouldn’t have been surprised, but he was damn tired of the whole mess.

“Your wife told me I could find you here,” the man said with a twist of his mouth when he said wife. “I’ll need some information from you for a report.”

“Report? What kind of report?” Luke rapidly searched his memory. He’d already filled out all the necessary declarations when he’d turned in the gun he’d pick up at his destination. As for the stolen luggage caper, Arden had taken care of that. What kind of report did the City of New York want from him now?

“We need to make out a report about the kid you helped bring into the world,” the guard said with a smirk.

The baby? “Jenny Alcott brought it into the world. All I did was be there for her when there wasn’t anyone else around to handle it,” Luke answered. He was trying to be patient, but enough was enough. For a bachelor and an amateur in the maternity world at that, helping little Noel into the world was two kids too many.

“Still, it was you, wasn’t it?”

Luke wasn’t sure which unlucky star he’d been born under, but it looked as if it was positioned firmly over his head. At the rate things were going, if the guard chose to follow the rules, he could be arrested for practicing medicine without a license.

“Yes,” Luke answered, resigned to the inevitable. “Now, what’s this about a wife?”

“The little lady back there.” With a frown, the security guard gestured to where Arden was hovering in the background.

“Oh, that wife,” Luke answered. In all the excitement of delivering Noel he’d forgotten the agreement he’d made with Arden to pass as husband and wife for the duration. In spite of playing at being her groom all night, he hadn’t quite gotten around to thinking of himself as her husband.

There was no denying he hadn’t been able to cool the growing attraction between them. It presented a complication he had to face, the sooner the better. Not only was the charade cramping his style, pretending to be her husband wasn’t fair to Arden. What if she took the whole thing seriously?

A skeptical look crossed the guard’s face. “Haven’t been married long enough to remember you have a wife?”

Hell! Luke recognized a snide remark when he heard it. Somehow, he’d managed to add more fuel to the man’s suspicions. Namely, who Luke was and what he was doing here. Just his luck! A quick glance at the frowning guard’s left hand told Luke the guy was married.

“Hardly,” Luke joked when what he really wanted to do was punch the guy out. Not just him—he was tired and disgusted enough to take on anyone who crossed him. He gritted his teeth and made a show of glancing at his watch.
