Liza let loose a deep sigh and braced her head on her hand as she pointed out into the waiting room.
“It’s the sexy cop over there,” she murmured. “He could lock me up any day.”
Sarena’s gaze flew to the corner of the empty waiting room where a tall, muscular figure stood staring out the window.
Marcas.
He was decked out in his black tactical uniform. He was everything that any woman who fantasized about a sexy police officer would be.
Utility belt with handcuffs.
Gun in the holster.
She let loose a sigh and agreed with Liza.
He could lock her up anytime he wanted.
He turned as if feeling eyes on him and met her gaze through the safety glass of the reception window. Her mouth grew dry at his heated look.
“Man, what I wouldn’t do to have his attention.” Liza chuckled, clearly observing the sparks flying between Sarena and Marcas.
Ignoring the comment, she headed through the receptionist area and toward the doors to the waiting room.
What was he doing here?
Once she had left his house after their magical night, she hadn’t seen him. She had worked every day since, and the absence of his bike let her know he had barely been home as well.
She pushed through the doors to the waiting room and paused, trying to catch her breath as all the memories from the other night rushed forward.
Mac waited for Sarena to appear. He didn’t know why he’d just showed up at the hospital on a whim but he knew he had to see her. He’d had some explaining to do once she was off the phone with her brother.
Mac had never been one to have to explain himself to a woman, but this time he’d found himself explaining his actions before he’d even realized the words were flowing from his mouth.
“You ran a background check on me, like I’m some criminal?” she asked, pulling the covers back over her breasts.
He immediately saw the apprehension enter her eyes as she stared at him.
“No. I did it before meeting you. I like knowing who is moving into the neighborhood.”
“So instead of doing like any other normal neighbor would do and come meet me, you instead invaded my privacy and researched me?”
She slowly stood from the bed, and he knew this was going south.
Fast.
“Sarena.” He shifted to her side of the bed, placed his feet on the floor, and paused when she backed away from him. He released a curse and stood. “Really, I didn’t mean anything by it.”
“But why would you be looking into my brother?”
Her hand trembled as she pushed her hair back away from her face.
“Just because I thought it was odd that when I read your report, it didn’t give any mention of a sibling, and then you admitted to having a brother.”
“What do you mean it didn’t mention my brother?”
“He was not listed as your brother. It had you listed as an only child.”
“But how can that be?”
