Josh rolled over and took Madison’s face in his hands and kissed her eyelids. “Woman, you are a surprise.” Madison returned his kisses with a gentle kiss. She didn’t say much but kept looking at him in disbelief. She had not intended for this to happen, but it did. She sat up on the edge of the bed, turned and looked into his eyes. “Now what? I hope this isn’t going to mess up our working relationship. I can’t have you watching over me like some pit-bull. I’m still an agent and can damn sure take care of myself.”

“Of that, I have no doubt.” He sat up next to her. “We can keep our jobs strictly business. We’re professionals, and we have a job to do. Now let’s finish this wine, and then I’ll get out of your hair so you can get some sleep.”

What Josh wanted to do was curl up with Madison, but he could see she would have no part of that…at least for now. I wish I knew what was holding her back. Wonder if she had a relationship that ended badly.

Madison reached for her robe at the end of the bed and wrapped it around her as tight as she could; almost as though she was protecting herself from something. I wish I weren't so afraid of letting myself go. I could get used to having Josh around…sometimes.

Josh picked up the bottle and poured the remaining wine into their glasses and then waited for Madison in the office area. She came up behind him, flipped the sheet off the whiteboard. It was quickly filling up with clues. “Let’s look at this with a fresh view tomorrow. I’m not as clear-headed as I’d like to be tonight.”

“I agree. I need to get some rest, too. I don’t want my mind swimming around with all that information from the board. I think we both could use a good night’s sleep.” He took the last swig of his wine and carried his glass to the sink.

Madison walked him to the front door. He turned and gave her a peck on the cheek and then left without saying anything else, but he wanted to pull her to him and feel her body next to his one more time, but he knew Madison would hold back. “We’ll touch base tomorrow to recap and then if you’re up to it, check out our other missing women,” he said in a back-to-business sort of way.

“Josh,” she called out, as he was walking toward his car.

“Yeah?”

“Thank you for a great evening.” She smiled as she held onto her robe.

“My pleasure.” What the hell goes on in that mind of hers? One minute I think she can’t wait to get rid of me, and the next, my heart starts racing. He climbed into his car.

As he backed up and turned around to leave, he glanced back one more time hoping to see her still standing there. But the shades of the office had been pulled closed, and she had already turned off the lights.
