“Did you come with someone?” Shiloh asked in concern.
I shook my head, oblivious of her concern as I scanned the field for Falco’s number and Jade on the sidelines.
“No, just me and Radar here.” I said indicating the dog.
The man that was at my other side dropped down and sat on the seat beside me and yelled, “Trance let you have Radar?”
The surprise in his voice was evident, even over the din of the crowd.
I turned and regarded him closely, studying his blonde hair, angular nose, full lips, and square jaw before answering. “Yes. For now anyway. He’s working.”
He cracked a smile, and I suddenly remembered the name that belonged to the voice. James. Shiloh’s husband. The SWAT officer for Kilgore Police Department.
His eyes studied me back, taking in my ponytail, my school shirt, shorts, and Radar before asking his next question.
“If he’s working, why doesn’t he have his partner with him?” He asked in surprise.
“He’s using Kosher tonight.” I said simply.
His head tilted. “Where’d he get a new dog?”
“Why are you nagging my woman, Allen?” Trance’s voice called from the railing below.
My eyes turned to see him leaning his arms along the rail, staring up at us. I stood, effectively making Radar stand, too, and walked over to him.
His eyes flared the closer I got, and I realized he was looking up my shorts.
I snorted and smoothed them down.
He smiled unapologetically, and winked at me.
Boys will be boys, and all.
He was looking hot himself.
He was decked out in his police gear, except today he had on a pair of Ray-Bans that covered his beautiful eyes.
Dropping down so my butt rested against the back of my calves, I found myself staring into his eyes. “Hey,” I said, studying the stitches that Trance was hopeful would be coming out tomorrow.
The swelling had gone down quite a bit, and all that was left was a thin raised red line from ear to temple.
“Who dropped you off?” He asked.
I changed the subject; I really didn’t want to get Adeline in trouble, because I knew for certain it would get back to Kettle.
“How’s Kosher doing with the large crowd?” I asked.
He narrowed his eyes at my evasion, but let me have my way. “He’s a little jumpy, but overall, he’s doing really well.”
I agreed with him. “The loud noises and sheer amount of people is kind of overwhelming. We’ve never been in this type of situation before.”
His eyes locked onto my face and studied it a few moments before answering. “If you need me, just call. I like that you’re sitting with them, though. They’ll take care of you.”
I laughed at that. “Radar won’t even let me pee by myself. I doubt that he’d let anything get close to me that he didn’t deem fit. Let alone hurt me.”
“That’s good. I don’t want anybody to get close to you.”
I leaned forward and gave him a wet kiss on the mouth before standing. “If you happen to go by the concession stand, I want a plate of nachos, Sour Punches, a pickle, and a Mountain Dew.”
