Chapter Four

Jackson placed his hand on Iona’s ankle. She made a humming sound but didn’t pull her attention away from the television. He glanced at her where she was comfortably stretched out on the couch with her feet in his lap. They were having a relaxing day after a hectic week of his being called in and Iona preparing for a presentation. She was headed out of town to California tomorrow, and Jackson wanted to spend some time with her before she left. Thankfully, he wasn’t on call today—Arissa was—so he wasn’t going to be anywhere else but here with her. Although she was only going to be gone a week, he couldn’t help wondering if the distance she’d been placing between them in the last week would increase. Ever since they’d both admitted they were getting used to each other. For him, nothing had changed except that he’d finally said it aloud to her. Yet Iona was acting skittish and he didn’t like it at all. Today was the first day that he’d had with her to get to the bottom of what was going on with her.

I’ll talk with her as soon as the show is done. Jackson had learned from experience not to interrupt her when she was watching her favorite TV show, Criminal Minds.

He tapped his finger on the arm of the couch, watching her more than the show. Iona had a familiar smile on her face. When Jackson focused on the screen, he realized why.

“A man could get a complex from how you get whenever you see Shemar Moore.” Jackson gripped her ankle firmer.

“He is something to look at”—Iona didn’t even look away from the screen—“but he’s not the only one I’m watching this time.”

Jackson looked at the TV again then at her. “Reid?”

“Oh yeah. And his real name is Matthew Gray Gubler.” Iona looked at him, her smile becoming sultry. “There is something about a smart man who is handsome too that does it for me. How they can spout facts like they know everything—that makes you want to jump them.”

“I don’t act like I know everything,” Jackson protested.

“Really?” Iona pulled her legs out of his lap and shifted to her knees on the couch. She leaned over and crawled toward him. “Just last night someone was trying to tell me some obscure fact about architecture.”

“I’ve become interested in it since you mentioned about what you do,” Jackson mumbled. “It wasn’t acting like I know everything. I just found it fascinating.”

“And I find it interesting that you took time to find out information relevant to my profession.” Iona put her hands on his shoulders and straddled him. Jackson put his hand on her hips.

“You do, huh?” Jackson grinned. “I must have you captivated, since you’re ignoring your TV crushes for me.”

“They are not crushes. I just enjoy watching a fine specimen of man.” Iona lowered her head. “Such as the one before me.” She kissed him.

Jackson opened, kissing her back. The ringing of his cell with a familiar ringtone made him pull away.
