look of astonishment on his face, marring his otherwise handsome cop features.
    His lips spread into a crooked smile. “Well you’re a sight.”
    With a bad case of bed head, smeared makeup, and Goth clothing that looked like they came straight out of a sex shop mail order magazine, I had no doubt he was right.
    But why the heck was he still gaping at me?
    It was then I realized that my short skirt provided him with a nice view of my black lace panties. I really did have an excuse for having my legs spread like Loose Lucy on prom night. In my usual attire of pajama bottoms and oversized T-shirts, the position of my limbs didn’t matter much, especially when I was in my own bed, which is where I should have been.
    I slammed my legs closed and glared at him. “Can’t a girl have some privacy?”
    His brows rose questioningly. “Probably not when she’s sleeping in the back seat of her car. By the way … why did you sleep in your car?”
    That was the million-dollar question. I wasn’t quite awake enough to answer it yet, so I didn’t. Instead, I slid out of the back seat and tried to stand, though not very successfully. My legs were still cramped from being bent all night.
    “Remind me to hang curtains and put up a Do Not Disturb sign next time,” I grumbled.
    “I guess you’re lucky I decided to check out your car when you didn’t answer the door. Otherwise you’d have been dead by noon from heat exhaustion.”
    Man did I dislike cops, especially smart-ass cops - especially smart-ass cops that were right.
    “Ok … ok. I get it. Sleeping in the car was a stupid idea.” I didn’t bother to add the fact that I didn’t really think I had a lot of choice in the matter. I didn’t have a clue how I got in the car, but I suspected Damian had something to do with it.
    Without bothering to ask him why he’d been looking for me in the first place, I started across the small parking lot. I would never be able to think clearly until I’d had my morning coffee anyway.
    “So Hell Brat … how are you going to explain the Elvira look to your dad?” he asked, with a very annoying smirk on his face.
    Stopping abruptly, I placed one hand on my hip and gave him my most vicious glare, hoping he would pick up on the fact that I was getting really irritated with him. “You are never going to let me forget that we egged and toilet papered your patrol car … way back when you were a rookie … are you?”
    “Nope,” he answered without hesitation.
    Damn! He could have at least thought about it for a few seconds.
    “Well I already told you … that was Dad’s idea.”
    “Really?” He obviously didn’t believe a word I was saying.
    Technically, it was Dad’s idea. He told Tanya and I to go have fun, and we did. So it wasn’t really just our fault.
    When Dad asked why we would do such a thing, I told him it was because Riley was mean. That was partly the truth, but mostly we egged Riley’s car because we wanted to see him outside in his swimming trunks, washing it. He had a way sexy chest.
    It was a good plan, but it would just be our luck to get caught. Part of our punishment was to spend an entire Saturday afternoon washing it. We missed out on a shirtless Officer Riley, plus we wasted an entire day washing egg off his car.
    Come to think of it, I still hadn’t forgiven Riley yet.
    I started walking again. Another two minutes and I’d be in my kitchen making coffee, which sounded so much better than standing in the parking lot arguing with Riley.
    He followed me inside without being invited. Not that I cared. Better a cop following me home than someone like Killer Tom.
    After putting some coffee on to brew, I turned to Riley. “So why are you here? As far as I know, there’s no law against sleeping in the backseat of your own car.”
    “So Cassandra … where were you last night?” he asked.
    Ah-oh! He called me by my real name, instead of Cassie, or the cute nickname he’d given me ever since the incident
