so I think you should leave.”
    Shana was so proud of herself. All she wanted to do was rub her body up against this man and lick him. Uh, no, no licking. She must be losing her mind.
    The more she looked at him, the more she felt a connection and wanted to reach out and touch him. Not just shake his hand but maybe squeeze that firm backside. Oh, hell, she couldn’t control her thoughts and she could feel herself blushing.
    She had to get away. Wait, this was her house. “Well, are you going to leave?”
    He simply smiled and said, “Grant is my brother, and because of the job we do, we are required to bring back-up. I’m sure you understand. If you’d like I can wait outside and we can talk about your system while he sets up. He needs to check the pre-existing alarm before installing the panic button. I’m sure you understand.” Leave? She was crazy if she thought she could escape that easily.
    “I don’t think that’s a great idea. I’m very busy and have plans to attend to when you’re finished. Grant told me it would only take fifteen minutes.”
    For the first time, Jake noticed her clothing. She was wearing business attire with the sexiest three inch heels he had ever seen. He wanted to rip her clothes off, bury himself deeply within her while she dug her spiky heels into his back. Whoa, down boy. Control.
    “If it’s a bad time we can complete the work and I can come back later. Or I can meet you at the diner for lunch and explain the program and how you key in the passwords.” He saw her eyes widen. Okay, too soon. It wasn’t like he was proposing; it was just lunch for crying out loud.
    “Forgive me for being blunt Mr. Calhoun, but I’m not interested in lunch with you, or anyone else for that matter. I am very busy with work and raising my son .” She put emphasis on the word ‘son’ like that was going to deter him. “I’m not comfortable going anywhere with you, ever, but thank you. If you leave a manual, I’m sure I can figure it out.” Take that, Mr. Sexy. Not everyone is interested in your hard body and spicy male scent.
    Damn, she needed to get laid; unfortunately, she’d never trusted anyone enough to be naked with them. She felt drawn to Jake, but she had control of her libido. Yeah, right. If she had control she wouldn’t be creaming in her panties. She squeezed her thighs together.
    “Sure, Shana. I’ll be done in a couple minutes and then we’ll leave.” Grant looked at Jake. “Right, brother?”
    Jake nodded and went to the car to get the equipment. He waited outside while Grant did the work. It made him crazy to know that his brother was in his mate’s house; in her confidence while he was left out in the cold.
    They said goodbye to Shana and got in the truck. Jake was seething and Grant looked frightened, keeping his head down.
    “You smell of her and I want to rip your head off. Maybe you should roll down the window.”
    They followed her car, but drove past, when she stopped in front of the town lawyer’s office. She must be in trouble.

    Shana pulled up to the town lawyer’s office. She straightened her back and swore that she would no longer feel shame for what happened so long ago. She had brought the case file and the papers she’d received yesterday. Her palms were sweating and she felt like a scared little girl all over again. She would do this for her son. Ryan, the piece of shit, no longer wanted her but their son. Her innocent precious boy. She strolled confidently into the office, head held high but shaking inside.
    Shana left two hours later. She looked a mess. Her makeup was cried off and her eyes were red and puffy. Her face was flushed and her spirit crushed.
    The courts were leaning toward dual parenting where the mother and father both had contact with the child but not each other. The crime was against her and not the innocent child. Her lawyer, Kyle Malloy, told her he would fight for her, but it was ultimately at the judge’s
