“No, she’s better than that,” she grinned, getting down on her belly to lay beside me. “She’s a fascination. Or an obsession.” She snagged my binoculars and stared through the windows at the woman inside. “Ooh, nice. Very nice.”

“What’s nice?” I asked in irritation.

“Oh…Is that a tattoo? I guess you’d have to see up close.”

“Is she naked?”

“Now she is. Damn, I can appreciate a nice body. Very toned. I see why she’s living with this guy. He must get a lot of?—”

I snagged the binoculars from her hands, earning me a glare. “We’re not stalking her.”

“You’re right. You’re just laying outside the house she’s staying in, all for the purpose of discovering more about her. It’s intel gathering.”

“Precisely,” I said, lifting the binoculars to my face. She was drinking a bottle of water and she was fully dressed in her workout clothes. Rae was trying to rile me up.

Rae chuckled in my ear. “Gotcha.”

I lowered the binoculars again and glared at her. “You didn’t get me because I wasn’t looking for anything.”

“Right. I said all that stuff about the tattoos and how she was naked. You weren’t curious at all.”

“Is there some point in you being here?”

“I already told you, I’m bored.”

“Go be bored somewhere else,” I muttered, getting back to the view inside the house. She walked up the stairs, pulling her top over her head. I instantly went hard at the sight of her gorgeous body, even from this distance. There was no denying that I was attracted to her. But what was it about her that had me following her all the way to Wisconsin?

There was nothing I could hope to achieve. She was clearly a shady character if she worked with Rafe. I was former military and a former police officer. That had to be against some kind of code. Then again, I was lying on the ground outside her house, watching her like a creep.

“Did you find anything yet?”

I rolled over and spotted FNG rushing toward me with a hiking pack on his back. “What the fuck are you doing here?”

“I came to find out what was going on. Same as you, right?”

I frowned, but nodded. “Right.”

“Yeah. Right,” Rae choked out a laugh.

FNG skidded onto his belly, grabbing the binoculars from my hands. “So, what’s she doing? Oh…holy—” He instantly dropped them, shoving them in my face. “I don’t think I should see that.”

“Why? Afraid Honey will divorce you?”

“Something like that. So, what did you find out so far?”

“Nothing. She’s living here. That’s all I know. I just arrived.”

“If it were me,” Rae said in a bored tone, “I would wire the house. And if you had really good friends, maybe some of them would have brought along the equipment you needed. But that’s just me.”

“I’m not spying on her.”

“Why not?” FNG asked.

“Because she’s a person.”

“Right, but you’re spying on her right now. What’s the difference?”

“The difference is…it’s an invasion of privacy,” I snapped.
