CHAPTER 15

SHE STOOD ON THE FRONT STEPS of his townhome. A skintight blue dress exaggerated her curves and revealed a tasteful amount of cleavage. A sneak peek at what he could get if the night went the way she wanted. What he wanted didn’t matter.

“Cortez, what are you doing here?” Dodge said. An honest look of surprise on his face.

She stared at him, her green eyes fixated on his. “I finished my interview early and thought, why not an early dinner?” A bottle of wine rested in one hand and a plastic bag hung from the other.

The aroma from the food in the bag wafted in through the front door. It was an unmistakable odor, and it was his favorite, Chinese.

“It’s a little early for dinner, don’t you think?”

“We can have dessert first.” She said as she slid past him and into the house. “That’s what’s great about being an adult. You get to choose when and who… I mean, what you eat.”

Dodge shut the door, following her into the living room, watching her every move, not sure what to make of what was happening. The reporter paused, and scanned the room, looking at the medals and awards on his walls. She had been here before and he was sure she saw the same scene the last time she had spent the night.

“I almost forgot how many of these things you have.” she said, picking up a plaque from the bookshelf next to the bedroom door. She peered over her shoulder. Her right hand sliding under one of the shoulder straps of the blue dress she was wearing. The silky material slipping over her shoulder and down her toned arms. Without another look back, she disappeared into the bedroom. Dodge stood by the makeshift desk in his dining room peering into the dark room. He had been down this road before, and it had ended in a train wreck. He wondered what she was up to. What was her angle. The only thing he knew for sure was she didn’t come out of the bedroom, and him standing in the next room with a confounded look on his face wasn’t going to get him any answers.

Q

The pair sat on the bed, eating Chinese food from the containers. Dodge in an old t-shirt and boxers—Cortez wore nothing. She was proud of her body, and who could blame her? She had all the right parts in all the right places and knew exactly how each one worked.

“I forgot what a caring lover you are,” Cortez said, taking another bite of Kung Pao chicken.

“I’d say you did most of the heavy lifting this time. I was just along for the ride.”

She shook her head and smiled. “You never could take a compliment.”

“I’ll work on that.”

“Make sure you do, or the next girl might not find her way in here.”

The two finished eating in silence.

Once Cortez had finished her food and drank the last of her wine, she rolled over on top of Dodge.
