more intense, with heated looks, sly touches and a lot of staring. Every time she looked at him his eyes were blazing and she caught him scanning her from head to toe more than once.
    At Sam’s last turn, she fluffed out her hair, pulled down her shirt and leaned over just as he was about to shoot the winning ball.
    “You going for this pocket here?”
    He looked at her just as he took his shot and it was just a hair off it’s mark.
    “Playing dirty?”
    “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
    He was scowling, but she could tell he wasn’t mad. Jennifer smiled innocently before she easily cleared the rest of the table and won the game.
    Before she had time to gloat or even think what her favor could possible be, she saw Lily and Tera approach them. Tera looked from her to Sam and then back again.
    “Hey hon, we need to get going. You need a ride home?”
    “No thanks. You live completely opposite from where I do. I’ll just grab a cab.”
    Tera gave her a wide-eyed look. “You sure?”
    “I’ll be sure she gets home safely.”
    They all turned towards Sam and she could see Lily’s mouth drop open.
    Holy. Shit. Was he offering….?
    Tera was the first to respond. “Thanks, Sam.”
    Sam gave a slight nod.
    They gave Jennifer a hug goodbye and Lily whispered in her hear, “We want details.”
    Her friends left, giggling on their way out the door. She watched them for several seconds before she turned to Sam.
    “I should probably call it a night, too.”
    What did Sam mean when he said he’d made sure I got home safely? She was tempted to use her request for a ride home, but hesitated, wondering if he’d read too much into it.
    As she debated internally, Sam quietly said, “I’ll drive you home.”
    The corners of Jennifer’s mouth turned up. “Are you sure? I can just get a cab.”
    “Yeah, it’s no problem.”
    “Well, thanks.”
    He nodded and said, “Right this way.”
    Sam put his hand at the small of her back and lead her out the door. “I’m parked in the lot next to the bar.”
    “Oh, aren’t you special. I left my car at the hospital parking lot.”
    He looked at her in surprise. “And you were going to walk back there to get your car? By yourself?”
    She shrugged her shoulders. “It’s only a couple of blocks. I was either going to take a cab or we were all going to walk back to the parking lot together.”
    He visibly relaxed.
    “I’m a big girl, Sam.”
    Sam nodded and looked into her eyes. His voice went impossibly deeper. “I’ve noticed.”
    Uh…
    She shivered a little. Arizona could get a little cool at night and there was a definite chill in the air, but that wasn’t what caused her to shiver.
    “Cold?”
    Not at all. “Just a little.”
    He surprised her by putting his arm around her and pulling her in close. “Sorry, I don’t have a jacket to offer so this will have to do.”
    “Thanks.”
    She almost snorted trying to suppress the hysterical giggle that bubbled up. Was he really driving her home? And was it even a good idea? She was probably just reading too much into it.
    He smiled down at her. She never realized just how tall he was.
    They made it to his car and he opened the door for her. She was anxious to find out his request. As she got in, he interrupted her thoughts.
    “Are you thinking of what you want for your request?”
    “I sort of thought my ride home would count as my request. No?”
    Please say no.
    He shook his head. “I offered you the ride so it doesn’t count.”
    “Then I guess I have to think of one. What’s yours?”
    He didn’t answer.
    When they got to her house, he pulled into her driveway and put his car in gear.
    Should I ask him in for a drink? No. Yes. No. Shit! Yes.
    “So, do you want to come in for a beer? Or coffee?”
    Sam surprised her by turning off his car. “Sure.”
    “Okay.”
    As they walked up her driveway, she silently thanked the heavens she cleaned the night before. The house wasn’t a complete
