Betty Lou transferred her and hoped the older
woman didn’t recognize her voice. Maybe she should just hang up.
    “This
is Deputy Morgan, can I help you?” She froze at the sound of his voice coming
over the line. “Hello?”
    Madilyn
cleared her throat. “Brody…”
    “Maddie? Is that you? Is something
wrong?”
    “No.
Nothing’s wrong. I just wanted to tell you…” She mentally groaned. Why was this
so hard?
    “Tell
me what?”
    “I’m
still sure,” she whispered. The silence was deafening on the other end. Then
Brody cleared his throat.
    “I get
off duty at five.”
    “I’ll
fix dinner. I’ll pick up some steaks on the way home. I get off today at four.”
    “That
would be nice…oh wait. Did you learn to cook?”
    Madilyn
burst out laughing. “I did. I’ll see you later.”
    She
glanced up when Kaitlyn entered the room. They smiled at each other. “Is
everything all right, Madilyn?”
    “Yes. I
was just making dinner plans.”
    Kaitlyn
got a look of pure horror on her face. “With Zach?”
    Madilyn
chuckled. “No. With Brody.”
    Kaitlyn
frowned. “Are you sure that’s a good idea?”
    Madilyn
stood. “Yes. I love him, Katie. Even if he decides to leave here again, this
time I’ll go with him.”
      “I don’t want to see you hurt again,
Madilyn.”
    “I
know, Katie. I don’t know what he’s going to do for sure but I won’t let him
leave without me. It was my fault the last time for not going when he asked me
to. I won’t let it happen again.”
    Kaitlyn
stared at her a few minutes then nodded. “All right, but if he hurts you I’ll
have Sam kick his ass.”
    Madilyn
laughed. “That sounds good. Brody always said Sam could do it.”

 
 
 
    Chapter Five

 
 
    At five
o’clock Brody left the office, got into his truck and drove to Madilyn’s
apartment and knocked. The door opened almost immediately. They stared at each
other.
    “You
look gorgeous, Maddie,” his voice was husky as his gaze roamed over her. Her
long red hair was flowing around her shoulders. She wore a light green blouse
tucked into skinny jeans. On her feet were flip-flops, her toenails painted
red. To him, she’d never looked more beautiful. He reached out and took a few
strands of her hair between his fingers. It still felt like silk.
      “Come in. I’ll start the steaks…” She
turned from him. Brody reached out, clasped her arm in his hand, and pulled her
back against him. With her back against his chest, Brody moved her hair away
before pressing his lips against her neck. Her head fell back against his
shoulder. “Brody,” she moaned.
    Brody
spun her around and took her lips in a deep kiss. He moved his tongue deep into
her mouth. Her arms circled his neck as he lifted her off her feet.
    “The
steaks…”
    “The
hell with the steaks. Where’s the bedroom?”
    Madilyn
pointed to the hallway. He scooped her up, carried her to the bedroom, put her
on the bed, and then lay down beside her. Her fingers were having trouble with
the buttons of his khaki shirt but she was finally able to push it from his
shoulders. Her fingers ran over his hard, solid chest and down to the snap of
his jeans. She could feel his hard shaft straining against the fly as she
unzipped it and slid her hand inside to wrap around him. He wrapped his hand
around hers.
    “It’ll
be over before we get started if you don’t stop.” He put his forehead to hers.
    Madilyn
smiled up at him and ran her hands up his rippled stomach to his hard pecs . Her fingertip traced the tattoo of her name.
    “I
thought you’d have this removed by now.”
    “Never,”
he whispered before kissing her again.
    Madilyn’s
fingers plowed through his hair and pulled him to her as she rose up to kiss
him. “I’ve missed you so much. I was so stupid. I should have…”
    Brody
interrupted her with a kiss. “It’s in the past. We’re here now, and I need you
so much.” His hand traveled to the buttons of her blouse. He took it off
