Cheyenne tossed her purse on the table, cringing when its contents rolled out onto the faux wood floor. She’d get them later. Right now, she needed a nap before work started in a few hours.

That’s right, a few hours.

She’d accomplished many things in the last forty-eight hours, but sleep hadn’t been one of them. Sure, she’d gotten a few minutes here and there, in between lovemaking sessions and heartfelt conversations. They seemed to slip in between them, mutually unable to keep their hands off each other. They had spoken about anything and everything under the starlit nights – everything, that was, except for her true identity, although not for lack of trying on his part. His suspicions were obvious, his reservations valid, as if he knew her resume belonged in the fiction section. Would he investigate on his own?

Meals had been haphazard, too. Pizza delivery the night of the ruined lasagna and then a parade of takeout and leftovers the rest of the weekend. Now she plopped on her bed, much harder than the softness of Julian’s luxurious mattress, and placed a hand on her head. She’d spent the rest of the weekend with him, leaving only enough time for half a night’s sleep before the work week began.

This was ridiculous.

She may not have broken department regulations – only because Julian was never a target in the criminal ring – but the relationship was definitely detrimental to the investigation, the case and her sanity in general. The more she focused on him, the less she could concentrate on finding the criminal. The more he focused on her, the less attractive she would be to anyone looking for an easy target. She’d known that going into the date on Friday. So what happened?

He happened. It was like sitting in front of a three-scoop ice cream sundae, complete with caramel, whipped cream, hot fudge and cherries (all of which played a part during the weekend) and trying not to eat it. Julian was her ice cream sundae, and she was simply not strong enough to resist him.

Which was positively ridiculous.

The worst part was that it was more than physical attraction – far more. As much as she loved his creativity in pleasuring her, she enjoyed their conversations just as much. They talked for hours about so many things. Like a cliché, they eagerly finished each other’s sentences, with similar opinions and judgements, likes and dislikes. How she managed to keep her secret, she didn’t know, especially when he tried to expose her (in more ways than one) every chance he got. She’d managed not to blow her cover, but for how long? Hopefully she hadn’t missed anything.

Was she falling for him? She couldn’t be, not after what happened to her family. She understood actors. They were charming and perfect one minute and would vanish the next. It was simply in their nature.

Yet somehow a date that was supposed to last a couple of hours progressed through a night, then another day, another night and still another day.
