Book Excerpts
“I told you, Liam. I play by house rules, and this is
my house, so my rules.”
He stared her down. “What if someone doesn’t like your
rules?”
She shrugged. “I can be flexible. Can you?”
No. Not on this. They weren’t talking about cards or
making food. They were talking about something dangerous. Something they both
wanted, but he knew he could never have. Friendship was all he could offer
Julie, no matter how much more he wanted.
“We have standard fitness tests every six months.
Flexibility isn’t a requirement of the FBI.”
Her smile faltered before she burst out laughing. “Oh,
Liam. You’re hopeless. Fine, we’ll play by your rules. For now.” She winked.
“Go set up the movie. I’ll get the popcorn.”
She moved off to the panty, and he beat a hasty
retreat to the sanctity of the living room.
For now.
The words sounded like a threat, a very tempting one.
He grabbed the remote, flipping the TV on. Scrubbing one hand down his face, he
groaned. How the hell would he survive two weeks alone with this woman? He knew
one thing, Ryder’s water heater would be getting zero use. For the next two
weeks there would be nothing but cold showers in his future.
The beeping of the microwave echoed from the kitchen.
Moments later, Julie came into the room with a bowl of fluffy white popcorn.
She sat on the couch, patting the seat next to her.
“Come on FBI man. Time to get our movie on.”
He glanced at the couch—which had never seemed small
until this very moment—and the tempting woman sitting on it. A hot flush of
sweat broke out all along his body.
Oh yeah, there would be many, many cold showers for
the next two weeks.
