Chapter 9

Rachel was still smiling when she walked into her apartment after dropping Addy off at home. Locking the door behind her, she headed straight for the bedroom, where she slipped out of her dress and kicked her heels into the corner of her closet. The little .380 double action pistol that had been tucked into the thigh holster nestled against her leg came off next, then finally her panties. She almost laughed as she tossed her underwear into the hamper. The evening hadn’t been anything like she’d expected it to be.

In a word, it had been ah-mazing.

While she was thrilled with how the night had ended for Addy and Ben—with the girl promising to talk to her friend soon about how she felt about him—it was spending time with Knox that had her almost…well, giddy was about the only word she could come up with to describe it. Normally her name and giddy would never exist in the same zip code, but what the hell? It fit now.

Yeah, she was a little bothered she’d lost time again, while trying to find Addy at the high school. That moment of hesitation when she’d asked Knox if he’d be interested in taking a job with STAT had her a bit concerned, too. And there was still the whole former-hunter thing of his to deal with. But she’d worry about all that later. Because seriously, when was the last time she’d been this excited about a man?

That would be never.

She padded barefoot into the bathroom, ignoring the oversize bath towel she’d draped over the mirror the other day. If she could have figured out how to do it, she’d yank it off the wall and throw it out. But since she couldn’t—not without forfeiting a chunk of her security deposit—the towel would have to do. Regardless, she didn’t plan to ever look in the damn thing again.

Rachel turned on the water in the shower, letting it heat up as she replayed the evening’s highlights. There were so many good moments she had a difficult time focusing on one or two things. Telling Knox about how she became a cop was one thing, but she still couldn’t believe she’d admitted she’d been in the science club. No one knew about that part of her life, not even the members of her pack.

She and Knox had fit together like two pieces of a puzzle, his hard body pressing against hers, making her feel like she was standing too close to a fire, his heat threatening to scorch her right through the dress she’d been wearing. And that kiss? She’d never experienced anything like that. If Ben hadn’t shown up when he had, they’d probably still be going at it. Unless they’d moved on to something else entirely. She laughed. That would have been one Valentine’s dance none of those kids ever forgot. Of course, she and Knox would probably be in jail right now.

It wasn’t until steam filled the bathroom that Rachel realized the water had gotten plenty hot while she’d been daydreaming about Knox.
