EXCERPT 1—
Torrential rains hit the windshield as Christopher
made his way to Ari’s apartment Monday morning. He pressed the gas a little
harder. Ari couldn’t be late. She’d mentioned the numerous deliveries scheduled
to arrive today. He could only imagine the trouble she’d go to, ensuring the
floors stayed clean and damage-free on a day like this. Her attitude wouldn’t
reflect it, though. The only time he’d seen her noticeably stressed about her
work had been last Friday. And that was a direct result of his father’s presence.
He shuddered thinking about Father being in the home
with her. He knew it couldn’t be prevented; she was his employee, at present.
But without the exact knowledge of the machine’s whereabouts…Christopher
couldn’t find it fast enough.
When Ari opened the door, he had an umbrella open wide
to keep her dry. “You are the ultimate gentleman, sir.” She tucked her arm
through his. “I hope my car is fixed soon so I won’t require a taxi—or, squad
car—service much longer. Although I am developing a fondness for the devilishly
handsome chauffeur.” Her twinkling eyes met his gaze. His heart thudded.
Beautiful.
He’d take her to work every day if she needed it. “You
should know by now, my dear, that I enjoy driving you to work. Would you like
me call Dave’s to see if your car is repaired?”
She stared at him for a moment, as if contemplating.
Her wide eyes, so trusting. He must protect her. She was fast becoming precious
to him. “If you have time, that would be great. I didn’t know how I would call
without cell phone service at work. How’d I get so lucky?” She raised up on her
toes and kissed him on the cheek as she ran a hand along the dark scruff of his
jaw, sending a jolt of electricity through his body. He caught her hand and
pulled her in for a kiss.
Yes, her kisses were delicious. He hadn’t just dreamed
it. The sparks igniting beneath her touch threatened to burn him. “We’d better
get you to work, unless you’d rather do this all day,” he said against her
lips.
“I choose this.” She kissed him once more.
“Unfortunately, I have many men who want me today.” She held up a folder marked
“Deliveries.” Her eyes sparkled. “And I’m sure you’d be missed, as well.
Pueblo, Colorado, can’t do without one of its finest.”
When they arrived at the Somers’ house, Ari ordered
him to stay put. “I’ve got my running shoes on and will make it to the door in
seconds. Besides, I can hear on the police scanner that you are needed, so get
to work.”
He squirmed. He’d heard the chatter on the radio as
well, but sorely needed to search her worksite for a certain time-traveling
machine. A machine, that if she found first, could get her into a lot of
trouble. How could he leave when it meant she might be in danger?
