I rush her, grabbing her by the waist, kicking the door shut behind me and throwing her arms above her head, pinning her with my body to the wall.
Growling, I nip at her neck. She pushes back against me, grinding her hips on me.
“You didn’t look out the window before opening the door, Miss O’Malley.”
“A criminal isn’t going to knock, Chief Hunter.”
I huff out a laugh, rolling my hips into hers. “What am I going to do with you?”
“Anything you want.”
I cup her face, letting her arms fall to my shoulders and kiss her softly. All I want to do is ravage her, and every time I’m near her, I can’t get close enough. But I have to control myself. I can’t keep ripping her clothes off every time I see her.
But our attraction can’t be denied.
And it feels more than just a fling.
For me, anyway.
And I have no idea how I let myself get here so quickly with her, without knowing if she wants to meet me in this same place.
“I’ve thought about you all day.”
“Yeah? What did you think about?” She plays with the hair on my neck and a shiver runs through me.
“How much I couldn’t wait to get over here and be with you. Do you want to go eat? I thought we could go to that Italian place on Main.”
“Are you asking me on a date, Mr. Hunter?”
I step back from her, taking her hand in mine. “I’m Mr. Hunter now? No more Chief, or boss? Jesus, Daisy, call me Vincent.”
She pauses. Then with a smirk. “Anything you want, Vince.”
I huff a laugh at her defiance. I love that she pushes the limit every single time. She makes it fun. She keeps me guessing. I’ve never felt so alive.

“How did you know Italian food is my favorite?”
“Lucky guess. When you and Angelina came home for dinner, I saw the way you devoured everything I had out.”
“Hmm.” She hums around her fork and drags it from her mouth. She began teasing me the minute we sat down. And if her toes brush my leg one more time, I’ll drop to the floor and have her for dessert. “I can’t wait to devour something else later.” She gives a wink and I drop my head, shaking it. “You’re cute when you blush, Vince.”
Rolling my eyes, I take a sip from my wine glass. She makes me forget a lot of the difficult things and makes life fun. So much so, that it never dawned on me that us being out together, clearly on a date, would spread like wildfire through the town. Especially since we ate at a restaurant right in the middle of Christmas.
We received a bunch of head turns when we walked in together. And when we were seated and I moved my chair closer to hers, we got looks from the servers.
They addressed us both politely. Everyone knows everyone in this town. But I know we’ll be the gossip around the water cooler tomorrow morning, if we’re not already right now.
“Guess we’re doing this, huh?”
“What are we doing?”
My eyes burn into hers. “What are we doing, Daisy?”
“I love when you say my name, Vince.”
My lips turn in. “Stop trying to avoid the topic.”
