pause. She didn’t do trust.
    Cole curled his hands over her shoulders and looked into her glorious eyes, his mouth lifting up at one corner, his expression serious… intense. “I believe you, Katherine,” he whispered, and he felt the tension rush out of her body in a mighty wave. “Is it all right if I check the house?” he asked softly, and she nodded.
    “I made sure that all the doors and windows were locked,” she informed him with a slight smile, and she nearly stumbled when she heard his softly spoken good girl. Those two words brought on an onslaught of heat to her body, and she chewed at her lower lip as she led him around the house, guiding him from room to room…two softly spoken words that threw her mind, body, and soul into a heart-stopping tizzy.

    “Make sure that you lock up tight after me,” Cole instructed her gently, his impressive frame once again filling her doorway. He had swept the house and found nothing out of place or disturbed. If someone was getting in, he damn well didn’t know how. At least not yet–he silently promised himself. But he would. “Is there anyone else that has keys to your house?” he asked, and she shook her head.
    “No,” she replied, her voice just a whisper. “I really don’t have anyone.” That statement cut through his gut like a knife. She deserved to be happy, damn it. She deserved a home…children, a man that would cherish her and love her every day for the rest of their lives. She didn’t deserve this nightmare. “Thank you, Detective McKenzie. I really do appreciate you taking the time to help me.”
    “Cole,” he replied evenly, his eyes settling on her mouth for just a fraction of a second before moving back up to her eyes.  Those amazing eyes that he wanted nothing more than to get lost in-and he found himself silently wondering if they would darken when she was happy…or excited. Ah, crap.
    “But…that man at the desk called you Mac,” she said with a look of utter confusion crossing her perfect features, and Cole couldn’t help but smile.
    “Yeah, well. The guys used to call me McKenzie, and just shortened it to Mac over the years.” He chuckled. “That was most likely my partner, Ben.”
    “Oh,” she murmured. And, for the first time since he had met her, a genuine smile touched her lips, and Cole found himself wanting to make her smile like that again and again. She was absolutely stunning when she did. She smiled with her entire being…and it was breathtaking. He could only imagine what it would do if she truly let herself go. Good God!
    “Then please, call me Katherine,” she said, her voice so low and smoky, and he again felt that damn shiver creeping up his spine.
    “I already did,” he replied quietly, and heard her soft gasp; her eyes widening slightly as a blush tinted her cheeks.
    Before he lost his internal battle of wills, and kissed her like he so wanted to do, he backed up and gave her a quick wink. “Remember to lock up after me,” he again reminded her softly. “You have my number if you need me.” And with that, he turned and strode down the path to his car.
    Katherine closed the door after him and engaged all the locks as per instructed, although you didn’t live in fear for almost ten years and not lock yourself away purely on instinct. It was second nature to her now. Something she did without even thinking about it. She had been locking herself away for ten, long years.

    He watched from the shadows as that fucking cop left Katie’s house, his anger growing to dangerous proportions. His body actually vibrated from it. He saw how that bastard had looked at her! How he had hesitated at the door, leaning forward just enough to look into her eyes. Close! Too damn close! That son of a bitch wanted her. He wanted his Katie! Wanted to take her away from him! Well, that just wasn’t going to happen! She was his! She belonged to him!
    He placed his hand at the front of his trousers, adjusting the
