receptionist.
    Ginny snorted and just shook her head, trying to be on her best behavior. “I don’t harass the guests, boss. I stick to the employees.”
    Elizabeth grinned and patted the man on the arm reassuringly.
    “I’m sorry, but I was expecting someone else that’s all,” he said, shaking her hand and holding onto it for as long as he could. Yeah, he was glad he came to the FBI West. This woman was going to be a pleasure to work with, he could tell.
    “Come on back to my office, and we can talk about everything that has brought you here to FBI West for help.”
    Whitefox followed at her request. It would give him time to appreciate the view, taking in everything about the woman. She wasn’t the typical agent, and he doubted she was the typical director. Appreciatively, he was extra happy she was wearing jeans and especially those jeans. They were riding low on her hips and drew the male attention easily. Part of him was aware he shouldn’t be checking her out like she was some woman he was picking up in a bar, but it was a completely male response to the completely female form in front of him. “I appreciate your help, Director Special Agent Blackhawk.”
    Yeah, he appreciated it a great deal.
    H e almost felt bad for ogling the woman, but she was hot. If she didn’t catch his attention he was pretty sure the only reason would be because he was dead and without a pulse. There was something about a woman in cowboy boots, even if she was an outsider, or maybe that was the big allure. A woman that he had always been told wasn’t going to be acceptable, always caught his attention. Whitefox wondered if it would be inappropriate to ask her to marry him right then and there.
    Oh, yeah, and have his children.
    “Have a seat, Chief Whitefox.” Elizabeth pointed to the chair, and seated herself on the corner not far from him so they could talk. “Now Gabe called this morning, and told us that you found bones on the reservation, and you need us to intervene and help you out.”
    He was having a hard time focusing . Elizabeth Blackhawk smelled like spice and heat, and she was sitting right beside him within reach. He wondered if her hair felt as silky as it looked. All those riotous black curls looked completely tempting. Now, he completely understood the warning Gabe had thrown out about her being a distraction.
    Hell yeah, she was going to be one. Until later when he did something about it, and there was no doubt he’d make his move. Charm ran in his family and he was positive he could convince her to come home with him.
    “Want to start at the beginning for me, Chief? Then we can figure out how we can approach this the best way.”
    He forced his mind off the woman and onto the problem at hand. He could chase her down later, and he was pretty sure he would. Choice on the reservation wasn’t all that exciting, but Director Special Agent Elizabeth Blackhawk most definitely was stimulating. He didn’t see a big shiny wedding ring, just a simple gold band with stones. Something in the back of his mind made him think he’d seen it before, but he was too distracted with the woman, her jeans, and the way she smelled to register it.
    “This morning, one of my officers came to my home. While on patrol he found some bones. Right now we have it cordoned off , and there are two of my men standing guard. We had the local doctor come out and check it out. We don’t have an ME or an anthropologist that we have access to on the Rez, so we had to go with what we had available.”
    Elizabeth nodded as she scribbled notes on the pad that was balancing on her crossed leg. “Did anyone touch the bones?”
    “Just the doctor, but I assure you that he gloved up, and he didn’t have any unprotected contact with them.”  Focus was drawn back to her cowboy boots, and it took everything in him to not make a comment about her wanting to saddle up with him and ride him off into the sunset. He’d love to play Indian to her cowboy
