woman.”
    “Why didn’t she tell me?” Sam frowned and leaned forward.
    “I think she had other things on her mind, mainly the two of you and your relationship. Anyway, we’ve been in touch with the agency where we worked in the past. They think it’s the woman who was here in disguise to try and kidnap Gina.”
    “Is she after Gina again?”
    “No. This time Sylvia is the target. Apparently they never got along. Sylvia killed the man this woman, her name is Giselle Brinley, thought she loved. She may just want to annoy Sylvia and frighten her, or she could want revenge. If Sylvia had died as a prisoner, that would have given her satisfaction, but Sylvia didn’t.”
    “Sylvia has to be guarded at all times. I’ll…”
    “Hold on. Our old boss is sending a guard to keep a lookout for her. He’s arriving this afternoon. Meanwhile, Sylvia is working in the sheriff’s office starting today. I doubt this woman will come around there to hurt her.”
    “Does the sheriff know?”
    “I called him this weekend. He agrees she’ll be safe in the office. He plans on being out some today, but he’ll call frequently and check on her. He can use the excuse of her being new. She’d hate to think we all doubted her ability to take care of herself. She has an ankle holster and a gun in it. She’s a good shot.”
    “I don’t like it.”
    “I didn’t think you would, but if you are serious about wanting her for your wife then don’t come across as too possessive or protective. Respect her skills. Here comes Millie with our burgers before I completely embarrass myself and give more advice.”
    As soon as Sam ate, he stood up to go. “I’m leaving you with the bill.”
    “I don’t have to ask where you’re headed.”
    “Nope. I haven’t been to the sheriff’s office in a while. I’m going to visit.”
    “Remember what I said,” Graham hollered as Sam rushed off.

    Sam opened the door quietly. Sylvia was leaning down to pick something up from the floor. Her sweet derriere sent his blood pressure into the stratosphere. He wanted to cup her butt and squeeze the soft cheeks. Suddenly, she straightened and turned.
    “You.”
    “Better put a bell on this door so you’ll know when someone enters. Another man might just walk up and take hold of your sweet bottom.”
    “Another man wouldn’t be having such salacious thoughts.”
    “Ah, honey, we’re all men. And we all admire a woman’s body.”
    “Hmm, what brought you here? I bet Graham called and complained about having company.”
    “Sort of.” He walked close to her and backed her up against the desk. “He also told me about your phone call.”
    “Since marrying my sister the man has become a complete chatterbox.”
    “Oh, he’ll hate that description. I can’t wait to tell him.”
    In spite of herself, she had to smile. “I have a new job.” She motioned to the office around her. “I’ve been working all morning, and it looks better already.”
    “I never pictured you in this setting.” Sam glanced around. “But it suits you.”
    “I didn’t either, but I’m so happy to be back at work. Being busy makes me feel good. Apparently it doesn’t have to be life-or-death situations, or at least for now I feel that way.”
    “My sister is coming in later today. I’d like for you to meet her. How about we three go to dinner tonight? I’ll drive us to Wagon Wheel. They have some very nice restaurants.”
    “Won’t your mother want your sister home the first night?”
    “We’ll have dinner fairly early. I’ll pick you up around six thirty. Grace can visit with Mother afterward. Mom will see plenty of her. She’ll be here until next Sunday.”
    “Then I accept. I haven’t been to Wagon Wheel, but I’ve heard about it from Gina.”
    Sam leaned closer into her space. He wrapped his arms around her body. Her soft breasts pushed into his hard chest and his cock throbbed against her abdomen. “I’ve missed you.”
    “I
