knew what they had to offer. But when her outside light turned off, she
remembered where they were and pushed on Zack’s chest.
Sandy
felt her pussy clench as he let her go,
and she took a wobbly step back, staring at the gorgeous sight before her.
    Zack had on a long-sleeved dress shirt hanging over dark
blue jeans and black skate shoes. Unable to help herself, she reached up on her
tippy toes and pushed a piece of his shaggy hair out of his bright lust-filled
eyes. He looked so yummy.
    Jake, she noticed, wore the same clothes from the morning.
Worried, she studied his face and saw both lust and something else in his eyes.
She wrapped her arms around him as she looked up at him. “Come on, let’s go
inside. What’s wrong?”
    Shock filled his emerald green eyes. “No, it’s nothing.
Let’s go. We said we would take you on a date, so let’s go.” His lips brushed
against hers, and she knew he wanted her to drop it, but she wasn’t giving up.
Sandy
knew that look, had
seen it on her father’s and brother’s faces. It usually meant something bad had
happened, or they were stewing over something that they’d done wrong.
    “I’m not going anywhere until you tell me why you are in
the same clothes as this morning. You look like someone took honey away from
your bear.” She grinned at her own little joke.
      Jake sighed, picked
her up, and walked to a black Land Rover.
      “Hey, I said I
wasn’t going.”
    Jake gripped her tighter, palming her arse .
“I’ll sit in the back with you. I can’t tell you much as it’s police business,
but…”
      He trailed off but
she knew the drill. Her father and brother said that about the fire station.
Sandy
nodded as he opened
the car door and placed her inside. She smiled when he followed.

    Jake felt very lucky as he glanced at
Sandy
before nodding to Zack that they were
all in. She’d just met them, and already she was worried about him. The only
other person who worried about him was his mother.
    Today had been a hard one. They were looking for a shifter
killer. Jake was usually pretty resilient, but today they’d found a pregnant
shifter murdered while she’d been in her wolf form. It was the third killing in
two months. Jake had never been so angry and frustrated with a case. The perp didn’t seem to have any rules bar only killing
shifters. The three shifters had all been different—a tiger, a seal, and the
last one a wolf. It was blatantly clear it was the same person due to the
distinctive smell, and the name he carved into them— Animal.
    Hugging
Sandy
as close to him as the seat belt would allow, Jake leaned down and kissed her
forehead. “I’m a cop. Well, a detective like Zack’s big brother, Brock. We have
a hard case at the moment, one that seems to really be getting to me. The perp is clever and he doesn’t follow much of a pattern. I
would like to tell you more, but that’s all I’m allowed to say.”
    She nodded against his chest and rubbed her hands over his
body. “I’m sorry to hear that. If you need someone to talk to, I’m a good
listener.”
    He held her tighter knowing it was going to be easy to fall
in love with this woman. He looked up to see Zack nod to him in the mirror.
They’d gotten a good one.

    Jake watched as
Sandy
looked around the restaurant for the hundredth time, gulped her wine down, and
poured another. She moved away any time he or Zack tried to touch her. It was
such a change from the way she cuddled him in the car. The waitress who’d been
flirting all night brought the food out and winked at him then fawned all over
Zack. Jake chuckled when this seemed to finally get
Sandy
’s attention.
    She grabbed Zack’s hand and glared at the girl before she
whispered, “Pass him your number or touch him again, and the hand you use will
get broken.”
    The woman turned her smile on him and his chuckle turned
into a laugh as Sandy continued, “Don’t even think about it. He’s mine
