He could feel it in the pit of his stomach. It was the kind of thing that grew when you were trapped between a rock and a hard place.

The rule book couldn’t be clearer. It told him that Amira Rashid should be sitting there beside him, on the journey back to the station and to Burke and Cole. But there was no way he could let that happen. He knew that if they ever got their hands on her, Burke and Cole would be at the poor girl like heavyweights. They would bully her, frighten her and, in the end, break her into little pieces. Amira needed more, he decided. She needed protection. She needed to be handled with kid gloves. So it was clear to him. He would take it upon himself to keep her out of harm’s way. He would keep her at the farm until either the case was solved or the detectives had returned to the smoke. The rule book be damned, he decided. He would worry about it only when they threw it at him.

He imagined himself crushed between the Burke woman’s thighs. The sensation, he concluded, would be pretty much the same.

He put the detective out of his mind. If he had to think about a woman, he decided, he would think about Jenny Martin. Jenny Martin, who in such a short space of time had become so much more than just a person of interest. There was something about Jenny, he decided, something about her that put him at ease, that seemed to generate in him a natural trust. It was that country vibe that she had. She was so honest and earthy, so plain and down-to-earth. And there was more, something silly and yet enormously appealing. He loved her freckles.

Sure enough, the woman had some years on him. A decade, at least. Probably more. And there was an added complication. In caring for Amira, she had become a player in the murder inquiry. But he knew that none of this really mattered. She held a real attraction for him and he hoped and sensed that she might have some feelings for him, too. The truth of it was, he wanted her. Plain and simple. And, he thought, as he lifted his balls off the sweating car seat, it had better be sooner than later.
