Humming, July climbed from the shower and wrapped a thick, fluffy towel around her head. She grinned at herself in the mirror.

“He cooked breakfast for you,” she whispered, pointing at her reflection. It felt damn good to be pampered. “You’ve got to show him how much you appreciate that.”

But how?

With a long, sensuous kiss.

The thought floated through her mind, and she blushed so thoroughly, the tips of her ears turned red. The truth was she wanted to do much more with Tucker than kiss him.

“July Johnson,” she scolded, shaking her finger at her mirror image. “There are plenty of other ways to reciprocate. Stop thinking like a teenage girl with a crush on the high school bad boy.”

Properly lectured, she dressed and wandered through the apartment, toweling her hair dry.

“Tucker,” she called out, entering the living room and glancing around for him. “Where are you?”

No answer.

“Tucker?” She peered into the clean kitchen. He’s tidy, she thought. But where was he? Puzzled, she frowned.

Her cell phone rang. “Hello?”

Heavy breathing.

July frowned. “Who is this?”

More heavy breathing answered her.

July sucked in her breath, the phone suddenly hot in her hand. “What do you want?” she asked, fighting to keep the quiver from her voice.

“Mind your own business. Got it?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, sir. Who is this?”

“I think you do know.” There was no mistaking the ominous tone.

“Are you threatening me?”

“Just keep your mouth shut about anything you might have seen last night, and you’re in no danger.”

“I don’t know what you mean.” It had to be her neighbor or his brother on the other end of the line.

“Very good. I see you’ve gotten the point.”

“Yes,” she whispered.

“Remember, keep your mouth shut. We’re watching your every move.

Terrified, July dropped her phone. Clasping both hands over her mouth, she took a step

backward and bumped into the kitchen sink. Nausea rose to her throat as a sense of utter violation washed over her.

“Tucker,” she whimpered. “Where are you?”
