Chapter Nine

The heavy veil of sleep lifted from Tara’s eyes as she slowly came alert. Barely any light came through and what did was a muted gray.

Still snowing.

She sat up and ran her gaze over the baggy T-shirt covering her body. Nothing else. Not even a pair of panties.

What the fuck happened last night? She lay back, physically and emotionally exhausted.

I remember telling all about the hit on me, the protection they were all going to need and—

She bolted back up again, jackknifing in the bed.

I told them about Drew.

It all came rushing back. The look of betrayal from both parents, but most of all the one from her mom, Adalyn. Tears sprang up at the recollection. Fighting them back, she frowned as she stared at her bedroom door. Almost shut. She slept with it open. Always.

Is Drew here? Tara sighed. If he is here, would it truly be so bad?

She didn’t think so. However, lying there wondering did not help her, so she decided to find out.

Later.

Later turned out to be mere moments when she heard male voices in the outer space of her apartment. Not voice, voices.

Spurred into action, she exited her bedroom and went to the living area, where she stopped short at the view before her. Drew stood there talking to Detective Savvas and two uniformed officers.

In fact, he acted like he owned the area. There was also the matter of his state of dress. Or the lack thereof. Dress pants were the single article on him and he didn’t seem at all perturbed by that as he conversed with the men.

Pivoting on her heels, she retreated for some pants at least. It wouldn’t do for her to be entertaining officers of the law in a shirt.

The men were still conversing when she returned. Drew gazed at her, a private smile tipping up his bow-shaped lips. “Morning, beautiful.” He gestured to her.

She was over halfway to him before she realized he was ordering her around in her own place. Furious she’d responded to his beckon, she scowled at him.

Doesn’t even give a damn. His smile never left his face and when she got beside him, he kissed her as he wrapped an arm around her waist. Her gut tightened as she pressed up against his warm body. His hard body.

The man smelled divine. She didn’t know how he did it, not to mention if he’d been with her all night. No way she had anything in her place that would have him smelling like this. Because if she had, she’d have clothes in it so she could wear his smell even when they weren’t together.

“The guys and I were just talking.”

She struggled to control her eyebrow from jacking up at his statement of the ‘the guys,’ as in her mind they should have been there only in an official capacity, not for setting up a time to head out to the local ball park for a beer and a game.

Sliding her gaze over to the detective, she held his for a moment before saying.
