She snorted. She wasn’t rusty. Well, not that much anyway. He just didn’t like that she could probably beat his ass if they went head to head. “Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Promise.”
“Uh-huh. Greer. You came to investigate a death and ended up quitting your job and restarting your racing career after seven years away from the track. Not to mention you bamboozled your ex-boyfriend into taking you back. I’d say you’re a lot of things but I’m not sure fine is one of them. That was a lot of change in a very short time.”
Dalton was right. It was a lot of change, but it had been a long time coming. She was happier now than she’d been in years. Insomnia used to be the bane of her existence. Coupled with indecision. Now that she was back to racing, she slept like a baby. This was where she was supposed to be. She knew it down deep in her soul.
“Bamboozled? Seriously? That’s the word you’re going with?” She rolled her eyes. She loved to see the sparkle back in Dalton’s eyes. She loved even more the fact that she was the one who put it there.
“What? You bamboozled me. You hopped in my race car and took second place. I was delirious with happiness and let my defenses drop. You bamboozled me. How else can you explain why you’re sitting behind my desk with your feet up in my home office wearing nothing but my shirt? Bamboozled is the only word for it.” He fought a losing battle with the corners of his mouth to keep a straight face.
Greer rose from the chair and came over to stand in front of him. She narrowed her eyes. “How ‘bout I bamboozle you some more? I think we have plenty of bamboozling left to do.”
He outright grinned. “I thought you’d never ask.”
He pulled her to him and wrapped his arms around her, capturing her mouth in a scorching kiss.
