Drew sensually ran his hands along her back. “She has her good points. She does think I have a nice ass.” Drew was enjoying himself; Allison was loads of fun to have around when she let her guard down. Yes, she was high maintenance, but in a good way, because once she trusted he meant every word, their relationship would be unbreakable.
"She does? I can see where that could be important."
Stealing another kiss, he nipped her bottom lip playfully. “I think she's intriguing, that's why I fell in love with her. She keeps me on my toes."
Allison laughed. “I love you, too, Drew."
"Isn't this sweet. Have you seriously been reduced to taking on charity cases now, Drew?"
Sam hadn't changed. She was still the same catty person she'd always been. Funny, in the past he'd thought he could change her, that her cattiness was just due to her insecurities. Now he knew better and just wanted her gone. There was only so much he could expect Allison to take before he'd have to let her go.
"Samantha, you're still as sweet as I remember. What are you doing here?"
"What? No kiss for your wife?"
She was baiting him, and he wasn't falling for it. “I'm still waiting for your explanation, Sam!"
"How about an introduction first? I at least have the right to know who my husband is dallying with."
Allison slipped out of his arms and walked around her desk to take a seat in his chair, putting as much distance between herself and everyone else in the room as she possibly could without leaving. Sam would pay for that; he'd worked too hard to get Allison in his arms.
"Jimmy close the door. This stays here."
Once the door was closed and Jimmy had seated himself, Drew walked back to stand behind Allison's chair, crossed his arms over his chest, and turned his attention back to Sam. “We aren't married anymore, Sam. I signed the divorce papers five years ago."
"See, that's where you're wrong.” Sam answered with a vindictive grin.
One look down on Allison's pale face fired his temper. “I'm not entertained."
"No? That is really too bad, because it's true. Seems our lawyer never filed the paperwork. Imagine my surprise to find that out when I went to get a marriage license."
"That's easily fixed; we'll go see the judge first thing in the morning before I leave."
Sam approached the desk with a sway of her hips and sat on the corner, her skirt climbing up her thigh to show off her black stockings. “See, Drew, the thing is, after seeing you again...and seeing how well you've done for yourself, I realized that the things that pulled us apart don't exist anymore. I don't think I want that divorce after all."
"Have you lost your mind, woman?” He didn't know why Sam was acting the way she was, but it didn't bode well for his future relationship with Allison.
"Sheriff, I should leave you two alone to discuss this in private. This isn't something you should have an audience for.” Allison announced, moving so fast Drew didn't stand a chance of stopping her. “Come on, Jimmy. Let's give them some privacy,"
Allison had made it to the door, and pulled Jimmy to his feet before he could get them to move.
"No. Please, Allison; baby, I want you to stay. I need you to stay."
Crossing her legs, Sam primped her hair. “I think the child is right. It's time for her to leave."
"She isn't a child, Sam; she's the woman I'm going to marry. Her purity of living has kept her from looking...old. Something you wouldn't understand."
Allison silently pleaded with him, her eyes near tears, begging him not to make her stay and watch.
"Please, Drew, honey, don't make me do this. I'll go home with Jimmy while you take care of this situation. If once...if you still...I'll be there until nine am."
"Honey? Dear Girl, Drew doesn't like endearments that make him sound weak or whipped, and he certainly won't let you spend the night with Jimmy."
Allison glared at Sam, giving Drew the first ounce of hope that she wouldn't leave him he'd felt since Sam had
