“No, let’s go. Carolyn’s never going to believe you went with me.”
    “I’ll deny it if you tell anyone.” He laughed under his breath as he kicked the truck into reverse.
    Seconds after he pulled onto the main road she leaned over and switched the radio dial. “Changing a man’s radio station is just as bad as taking control of the television remote.” He couldn’t hold back a smile.
    She grinned and simply pressed the scan button again. Seconds later, some God-awful pop music blared through the speakers.
    And she turned the volume up.
    “Come on, Izzy. Is this the best you can do?”
    Instead of answering, she grabbed a pen from the center console and used it as a fake microphone. When she started lip-synching the words, he found himself fighting a smile. Something he seemed to be doing more of since meeting her.
    The past four years had been stressful trying to get a new business off the ground. His brother and cousin depended on him to keep everything together. He’d brought them together to start Marcellus Security so it was up to him to make sure they succeeded. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d taken a day off. Soon he’d be going back to his real life, but for now he might as well enjoy his limited time with Izzy.
    The longer he was around her, the more he liked her. The attraction was almost a given, but that had nothing to do with actually liking her. Part of him wished she’d been a stuck up bitch. His life would be so much easier if she was.
    A couple hours later as they pulled back into her parking lot he was already missing her.
    She frowned when he shut off the ignition. “You don’t have to walk me to my door again. I don’t think that maniac is striking during the middle of the day.”
    Ignoring her, he gritted his teeth and got out. Criminals didn’t act according to a clock. They took advantage of situations, regardless of time of day. Considering the previous crimes, it was doubtful the man the police were looking for would be out roaming the streets now, but Adam wasn’t taking any chances with Izzy’s well-being. Regardless of the deal he’d made with her father, her safety was his priority.
    When they stood at her front door facing each other, he felt like a nervous kid on his first date.
    She clutched her purse against her side. “Thanks again for breakfast, Adam.”
    The way she said his name made him wonder what it would sound like rolling off her tongue under different circumstances. With wide eyes, she looked at him expectantly, her summer dress fluttering with the light breeze. And he lost all common sense. If he’d ever had any.
    He didn’t know how it happened. One second she was staring at him with those big doe eyes, and the next second he was kissing her. Rather, they were kissing each other.
    She tasted like coffee and mint. He fisted his hands into the tangle of her dark curls, tugging her closer. Her scent, something exotic and tropical, enveloped him.
    Their tongues clashed in a fervent need. He sucked on her bottom lip, earning a low moan from her. His cock was like a heat-seeking missile with a mind of its own. Involuntarily, his hips surged against hers.
    When her hands slid up his chest and around his neck, he couldn’t help himself. He palmed one of her breasts through the dress. Her nipple was rock hard and straining against the thin material.
    In small, slow circles, he rubbed his thumb over the peak.
    Pulling her head back, she let out some sort of strangled noise. Primal satisfaction rolled through him. The woman was incredibly reactive.
    With her neck bared, he zeroed in on the soft skin and lightly raked his teeth over her pulse point before feathering her with kisses.
    She clutched his shoulders and lifted one leg so that it was wrapped around his back. All he’d have to do was shove up her dress and he could be inside her in seconds. His cock jerked at the thought.
    He backed her up against the door with a thud and with one hand reached
