quick and shy. “I’ll be careful. Promise.”
    “I’d be happier if you weren’t so near.”
    She sighed in pretend exasperation. “Okay.”
    Up close, Kade noticed her dark freckles on the bridge of her nose from extra time in the sunshine. He wondered if she freckled anywhere else.
    “What?” she asked.
    Kade didn’t want to scare her away. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief. “You have mud on your cheek.”
    She reached up to touch her cheek as he used his handkerchief to wipe the smudge. Their eyes held with a curious intimacy he’d never experienced with any woman.
    “Thanks.”
    “No problem.”
    He turned away, rolling his eyes at the fact that he couldn’t find the right words to say to her. He’d never had problems talking with women. The only thing Kade felt completely comfortable in was his job. It was probably why he didn’t have long-term relationships. Most women couldn’t get past the hours he put in on the job. The women that stuck usually considered his work the third lover he was cheating with.
    Lightning snapped off in the distance with thunder chasing down the rain. The sky cracked open, and the rain started to fall. It wouldn’t be long before the rain started to hammer again. Wynn turned her head up to the building raindrops.
    She looked incredibly sexy with the dewy mist clinging to her flushed cheeks. Kade had to check the urge to kiss his way over her wet lips as she parted them for the rain. Drops of rain clung to her long lashes. She licked her tongue out over her lips, catching the rain. Kade felt his sex harden. He thought of those lips tipping his dick into her mouth, and he nearly came. His teeth locked down hard as he struggled to keep his spunk in his dick by thinking about baseball.
    It didn’t work. He half shot into his tactical pants.

Chapter Four
     
    Rain hammered down on both of them. Wynn wasn’t sure what the change in Kade was all about. Something passed within his eyes she didn’t know how to define. For a split second, she saw his eyes dilate before he looked away.
    Maybe she read it wrong. It was probably something animal that came along with the hunt of the job. She knew that feeling. It was the shot of adrenaline that hit right into the heart. It always came before she took down her target. The tables were turning hard. She was losing control.
    “We can sit in my Jeep and talk,” he offered.
    Ranger Gentry’s older model government-issued Jeep Cherokee was parked next to hers, blocking her in. Kade opened the door to the passenger side, and she got inside. She watched as Gentry moved around the front and slid behind the wheel.
    He ran a hand through his black hair as the memory of her fingers doing the same minutes ago made her pussy weep with unfulfilled need. Half an orgasm was never enough. She needed penetration to feel complete.
    “Are you out here investigating a crime,” she asked.
    “Missing person.”
    A tickle of uncertainty clenched around her heart. The radio crackled, and Gentry replied. She pretended not to know what he was talking about. “Oh? Who’s missing?”
    His eyes locked onto her in such a way that made her breathless. “You are.”
    Her heart raced for the wrong reason. “I’m not missing.”
    “We have a report out of Boston. You and your Jeep were reported missing nearly a week ago.”
    “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she lied.
    For some odd reason, she couldn’t lie well to him. It felt so wrong, as though he could tell every word coming out of her mouth wasn’t true.
    The ranger’s voice came from far away. Wynn felt dizzy and sick to her stomach at the possibility of more lies to come. She had to get out of there. She grabbed for the handle, fumbled, and dove out of the car. She heard Gentry call her name, but she couldn’t make out the words. They were lost under the echo of thunder and lightning and rain. Wynn’s body felt sluggish as she tried to run through the muck to
