be if you want me to be.”
    “No thank you—I have had my fill of men who acted like they were ten.”
    “So you are more into men who act like men then?”
    “Yeah, and I don’t currently know of any. Have any suggestions?”
    “Where did you learn that move? I don’t recall that in any police training camp.”
    “Oh—the move where one minute you were sitting in a chair and the next minute you were face planted on the floor with your arm behind your back?”
    Brock grinned at her, “Yeah that would be the move.”
    “Stop grinning at me.”
    “Is that a problem?”
    “I can’t concentrate when you look that damn good.” ‘ Oh hell.’ she said to herself. She really needed to work on that part about keeping her mouth shut until her brain had time to process what came out of it.
    “You think I look good huh?
    “Too good.”
    “Too good? I didn’t know there was such thing.”
    “Well there is. Now can you get off of me—I can’t breathe.” Holly said trying to catch some air.
    “Let me help you with that.” he said as he leaned down and gently brushed her lips with his while he watched her reaction.
    Holly froze as she watched Brock lean in and lightly kiss her lips. This was not happening she told herself—it can’t be happening. The next thing she knew he was deepening the kiss and she felt his tongue trace her bottom lip. Just like the cat, her body betrayed her and she responded by opening her mouth hungrily as her tongue began searching for his.
    Brock lost himself in that kiss. She tasted so sweet and she took just as much as she gave. He instantly became hard and felt a need to touch her bare skin. Once he released her hands, they wrapped around him and pulled him in tighter to her. He reached down and ran his hand under the hem of her t-shirt. Her skin was so soft to the touch and he wanted to experience so much more of her. He broke the kiss and sat up grabbing the bottom of her t-shirt to pull it over her head when she grabbed his hands and stopped him.
    “Brock, we can’t do this.” She said breathlessly.
    “Why not? I know you want to.”
    “That doesn’t make it right. We work together—we can never be anything more than that. We can’t do this.”
    “Fine—I will approve a transfer for you.”
    “No!” She shouted as she scrambled out from under him. “I have worked too damn hard to become a detective and I am not going to throw it away for anyone.”
    “So, after what we just shared, you can honestly say that you can go back as if it never happened?”
    “I didn’t say it was going to be easy, but that is exactly what we have to do. You have to promise me that it won’t happen again.”
    “No. I can’t pretend that what we just shared wasn’t something special and that we shouldn’t pursue what it could become.”
    “Then you had better try because there will never be anything between us.”
    “I don’t believe that, and if you think you can forget about it like it was yesterday’s news, then you are a pretty good actress. Here’s a newsflash for you—I am not going to let you forget it. I will be in your thoughts and dreams 24/7—you can count on it.”
    Brock walked to the door, opened it and without another word, walked out and shut the door behind him. Holly collapsed onto the couch and began to cry. Charlie climbed into her lap and began to purr. “I hate you. Do you know what you have done?” Charlie looked up at her and meowed before he nestled into her lap.
    Monday morning Brock walked into his office to find it empty. He expected to see Holly hard at it going through the files. He sat down and began to go through a file, but he couldn’t stop thinking about Holly and the fact that she wasn’t at work yet. He got up and headed to the break room to get a cup of coffee, looking up every few seconds thinking he would catch a glimpse of her arriving. Back in his office he sat down again to go through the next file, but he kept checking his watch
