Page 50 of Trace's Passion
Chapter 15
Trace
He went to bed that night with a smile on his face. He wished she was here with him, but it would happen soon enough.
He loved smelling her in his bed though. In his sheets and knowing how passionate she was, how passionate they were together, and how much she wanted him was something he never imagined would happen.
If someone had told him last week that he would be having the best sex of his life, hell having sex at all, and in love with a woman he had only known for a short amount of time, he would have laughed.
But yet, here he was. In love with a woman he had only known for a few days.
And it was crazy. How fast they were going. Or was it? To him it wasn’t, but to her brothers it was.
He wanted nothing more than to marry her and keep her at his side always.
Shutting his eyes, he dreamed of her.

Waking the next morning with a smile on his face, he got ready quickly, knowing he would be seeing his girl.
Driving to work he whistled the entire way and when he pulled into the station, Brek was there and he hugged his best friend.
Brek grinned at him, “Have a good night?”
Trace laughed, “I got to spend it with my sunshine. What do you think?”
Brek burst out laughing, “I do that every day too. So yes. Did I miss out on anything while we were on our honeymoon?”
Trace shook his head and then nodded, “I hired two men to come work with us. I am sorry I didn’t ask first.”
Brek laughed again, “Trace, you are my Deputy. Hire who you want. You and I both know it can’t hurt to have more help and we have tried to find someone and have failed.”
He let out a breath of relief, “They are Emery’s brothers. Reid and Kian both are cops and have been for a few years. I think we will like their expertise in our station.”
Brek grinned, “Good. Can’t wait to meet them.”
Trace smiled, “They are supposed to come today with Emery. You saw that she is working with Stacy. They should be here soon.”
Brek smiled and walked to their small break room and came back with two cups of coffee.
Trace took the cup he was offered and took a sip, as the door to the station opened and Kian and Reid walked in, but Emery didn’t.
Trace felt his eyebrows draw down in confusion, “Where's Emery? Is she feeling okay?”
Reid stopped in his tracks, “What do you mean? She was with you. She left us a note saying she was sleeping at your house.”
Trace felt the blood drain from his face, “I dropped her off at home last night, she wasn’t with me.”
Reid’s face also went pale, and Brek spoke up, “She is missing? Seriously?”
Reid nodded, “She has to be. When we checked her room, all we found was a note.”
“Can I see the note? Did you bring it?”
Reid shook his head, “No. We left it at home. We honestly thought she was with you.”
Trace turned and started walking, then ran as quickly as he could to his squad car.
