She about jumped out of her skin when the door suddenly opened. Micah leaned against the doorjamb, folded his arms, and stared at her. She quickly wiped her cheeks. Her eyes traveled down over his broad chest to his sweatpants covered crotch.

What is with you that you can’t keep your eyes off his crotch, Patsy?

“My eyes are up here, pixie,” he said, and she could hear the laughter in his voice.

“I’m not interested in your eyes right now, Agent Turner.”

Micah pushed his sweatpants down and walked to her. “I decided a bath sounded too good to pass up.”

“I’m glad to hear that.” She smiled and stepped into the water then scooched forward for him to step in behind her. His arms wrapped around her as he put his chin on her shoulder.

“The water feels good after the ride today.”

“Yes. I had a good time today. I enjoyed getting out of the house for a while. Thank you,” she said feeling him nod. “Oh, do you think you can you take me somewhere I can get some things tomorrow?”

“Sure. There’s a shopping mall down the road.”

“That’ll be fine.” She sighed and leaned her head back against his shoulder then smiled when he kissed her temple.

The next day, she and Micah walked to the Tahoe parked outside of the garage to take her shopping.

“Why couldn’t we take the Vette?”

“Because I need to pick up some groceries and there’s not a lot of room in the Vette.”

“Oh, true. When will you take me for a ride in it?”

“It’s supposed to be nice tomorrow, upper fifties and sunny so we’ll take a nice ride.”

“Great and you’ll let me drive it?” Patsy laughed at the look he sent her.

“Can you drive a manual?”

“No.”

“Oh, gee too bad…the Vette’s a straight stick.”

She reached over and punched his arm making him laugh. “You’re not funny.”

“Sure I am.”

Micah drove into a parking lot and parked. They both exited the vehicle then walked inside. The store was crowded but she stayed close by Micah’s side. She did notice her being with him didn’t stop women from looking at him. His jeans were faded and cupped his sex and butt. On his feet were his cowboy boots. He looked hot so she understood their attraction to him.

They walked down the aisles and Patsy picked out what she needed while Micah piled food into the cart as she pushed it.Soon they were on their way back to the house. She started getting anxious when she noticed Micah kept glancing in the mirrors.

“What’s wrong?” Patsy asked feeling her back tense.

“Nothing…just keeping an eye out.”

Micah pushed the button above his visor to open the garage door. It slowly opened and he pulled to a stop to wait for the door to roll all the way up. Just as he reached to open the driver’s door to get out, the back window of the Tahoe shattered at the same instant he heard the shot. Instinct had him getting his weapon from the center console.

“Get down,” he yelled and glanced over to see Patsy cowering. “Once you get a chance, run inside and I’ll close the garage door. Are you ready?”

She nodded. He looked around him then yelled. “Go!”

“What about you?”
