At her parents’ house, Kim had learned that the best defense was a good offense. So when Scott gave her the questioning look about her so-called errands, she excused herself from talking to Laurel and Jamie, grabbed a plate, and started piling on food two feet away from the officer. Everyone else was seated and chatting on the other side of the lawn.

“Errands, huh?” Scott said under his breath as he picked up a salt shaker to season his food. He kept his voice low.

“Uh-huh,” Kim said.

“These errands wouldn’t have to do with a certain list, would they?”

“In fact they did.”

Scott plopped a piece of watermelon on his plate. “Kim, you need to be careful. What I said the other day—maybe I didn’t emphasize the point enough. We don’t know who these women are.”

Kim scooped salad onto her plate, then paused to put a cherry tomato to her lips. “I have a name for you. A man who was harassing Melody of Melody’s Cupcakes and may have paid someone to up his game. Do you want it?” She popped the tomato in her mouth.

His face was stern, but his eyes also watched her lips as she chewed and swallowed the juicy fruit.

“I want it,” he said.

“Good.”

She took a step closer to him and reached around his body to grab her own watermelon wedge. He didn’t move, and as her arm brushed against his navy jacket, a shiver of desire ran through her. When she looked up at him, his eyes were heated. They drifted down her body, lingering at her décolletage which because of his height probably afforded him a view of even more of her breasts than she intended. She didn’t mind.

“Careful, Culpepper,” she whispered. “This is a family event.”

His eyes cut to the side, making sure the rest of the group wasn’t within earshot. “Come to my place. After. We can talk.”

Talk was probably the last thing Scott had planned, judging by his expression and the hunched way he now stood, hand shoved in his pocket, probably to hide the desire he too felt. At least there were some advantages to being a woman.

Teasing was another. Flippantly, she smiled and said, “I might be able to do that. Let me check my schedule and get back to you.”

“Be there,” he nearly growled.

Laughing, she turned on her heel and walked away to sit with her family, adding an extra sway to her hips.

But halfway to the group of chairs where her family sat, she caught Laurel’s eye. Her sister was sitting on Jamie’s lap, but she was staring at Kim, her mouth wide.

O.M.G., she mouthed.

Shit. The women in her family were pretty much Sherlock Holmes when it came to figuring out things you didn’t want other people to know, like whom you were sleeping with. Kim had no doubt Laurel had observed her and Scott’s posture as they stood by the food. Maybe even read their lips, because she was snoopy like that.

Kim cut a glance at her mother,
