CHAPTER ELEVEN

THE COVERT OPS mission wasn’t over. In fact, Shaw figured it was more important than ever. Because it was possible that in a weird, unintentional way, he and Sunny had given Ryan and Kinsley permission to do the same stupid thing they had just done.

Kiss in a public place.

Yeah, talk about being stupid. Shaw had been so caught up in the kiss that he hadn’t noticed the teenagers when they’d come into the Lickety Split and obviously spotted them in the booth.

Heck, Shaw wasn’t sure he would have noticed a zombie apocalypse after his mouth had discovered that Sunny tasted just as good and right as she had all the other times he’d kissed her. It shouldn’t have felt like a startling revelation, shouldn’t have caused him to go hard, but there it was. His life. His reaction to this woman made him brainless.

He didn’t mind word of the kiss getting around to the adults—it’d get the suitors off Sunny’s back and uphold his end of the favor-bargain. But that kind of public display of hormones wasn’t a good example for Ryan and Kinsley.

“There they are,” Sunny whispered. “No hanky-panky.” Like him, Sunny was at the corner of the large front window of the diner, peering in.

Shaw spotted them, too. Unlike Sunny and him, Kinsley and Ryan sat up front on the red padded stools at the counter—where the other diners and anyone driving by could see them. They each had a menu, likely deciding what to order.

Judging from their body language, what they weren’t doing was considering hanky or even some panky. Kinsley was nibbling on her bottom lip, and both had tight grips on those plastic-coated menus that were seemingly riveting, considering how quietly and intensively they were studying them. Everything about them screamed first awkward date with the prying eyes of the town looking on.

Sunny released a long breath and stepped back from the window. “Okay, I feel like an idiot,” she said.

“I’m right there with you.”

And it was coming on the heels of him feeling stupid for the public kissing. Worse, it was entirely possible that someone had spied Sunny and him spying on Kinsley and Ryan. That would generate another level of gossip that none of them needed.

“Come on,” he told her, maneuvering her back toward his truck, which was still in the police department parking lot across the street.

“Are we going to your place?” she asked.

The question threw him so much that he practically stumbled. Shaw stopped and stared at her.

Sunny shrugged, maybe trying to look casual, but he saw some of the same nerves in her body language as he’d seen in Kinsley. Sunny was even doing some bottom lip nibbling. Not on his, as she’d done in the diner. But on her own.

“I figure everyone will assume that’s where we’re going anyway,” she added.

Yeah, they would, and while Shaw thought it was a fine idea to take her to his house, he didn’t like that Sunny might be having doubts about it.
