Chapter 7

Trey caressed the lips of the woman who’d just given him two of the most intense orgasms of his life.

He gave her a quick kiss. “I’m sure it’s nothing,” he lied, suspecting otherwise. As he made his way downstairs, his heart pounded. When he’d looked out her bedroom window, he saw the cop car parked in her driveway, and the shadow of a burly male figure filling her doorway. With the hacker never far from his mind, he hoped to God this wasn’t another attempt to torment her.

When a fist beat against her screen door, Peanut went on a barking rampage.

“Coming,” Trey announced. He swiped Peanut up with one hand, unlocked her deadbolt and opened the interior door. The police officer’s stone-faced expression changed to one of surprise and then amusement, which Trey assumed was due to his rumpled state and the tiny dog in his grasp. Trey ran a hand through his sweat-slicked hair. “Can I help you?”

The officer coughed into his fist. “Sorry to interrupt—er, bother you. I received an alert from the security system at this address. It’s policy if the owner doesn’t answer the phone, we send someone by to assess the situation.”

“Must be a mistake. Everything’s fine.”

“Do you live here?”

“No, but the lady of the house is…indisposed.”

The officer glanced into the foyer. “I need verbal confirmation from her.”

“Sure.” Trey called over his shoulder, “Devon, honey, can you come down for a minute?”

He heard her light footsteps dash across the bedroom floor and through the upstairs hall. She ventured downstairs wearing his dress shirt, which she held closed over her breasts.

Testosterone still raging in his veins, his body amped up on sex hormones, he hardened at the sight of her in his shirt. She looked small and fragile swamped by the fabric.

A territorial surge heated his blood. He didn’t like the cop seeing an eyeful of her wearing next to nothing. “This officer needs to know everything’s all right here.”

Eyes wide and wary, she swallowed. “Fine. No problems here. What was the alert, if you don’t mind me asking?”

“We don’t receive those details, ma’am.” The radio at the officer’s hip crackled and a dispatcher questioned if he was at the residence. He unclipped the radio and held it to his mouth. “False alarm.”

“Can you hang on a minute?” she asked him. After the officer agreed, she went to the security panel attached to the wall near her door. “Huh. That’s strange.”

“What?” Trey went to her side. Peanut’s miniature growl made the dog’s ribs vibrate against his palm.

“You saw me disarm my system when we got here…” She checked the small clock perched on the narrow table beside the door. “Forty-five minutes ago.”

Trey nodded.

“All three lights are flashing, red, yellow and green. That’s not supposed to happen, at least I’ve never seen it before.”

“You’ll have to call the security company for details, ma’am,” the officer said. “I just answer the calls when they come in.”

“Sure, I understand. Thank you for responding.”

“Glad to see everything’s okay.” He touched the brim of his hat, turned and headed to his car.
