Status Updates From The Texas Lawman's Woman (M...

So the message of the book was... he is a bad cop.

Wow, she's being really harsh.

This book is really about ethics and how people are assholes.

More sex.

Shelley saw the kiss coming. She could have avoided it. Like she could have avoided so much else in life.

WHAT.

At least they are having sex regularly.

Now they are having sex again. I can't keep up.

"THAT is not going to happen again."

Boy, these two jerk each other around a lot.

Box of Shelley's favorite Godiva chocolates in hand, Colt took the stairs two at a time up to her apartment.

Good job.

Although Shelley hadn't kicked him out last night, right after they'd made love - instead, he'd been the one who'd had to leave to take the early shift on patrol - Colt wished he and Shelley were a lot more than a temporary hookup to each other. He wanted to know they had a future together.

And Colt knew them, without her even uttering a word, that in her view, this was just a temporary hookup in her very temporary world.

NOW he's willing to have sex with her?!?!!? Wow. I would give him A PIECE OF MY MIND.

"What I want is for you to want more for yourself," Colt told her, impatient as ever when she acted on emotion instead of common sense. "What I want is for you to STOP settling for less than you deserve."

Wow. What a cold, cruel thing to say to a woman who was just going to have sex with you. You're an asshole.

KISSING

Damn, but he smelled good, too. Like soap and a very brisk, masculine cologne.

She's acting like a fucking moron.

It would have bonded them together for an eternity. Just as the abrupt cancellation of their highly romantic plans had flung them apart for what felt like forever.

"Maybe what wasn't right were the plans we had for that night. The truth is, I didn't want to take your virginity that way. Even as young as I was, I knew you deserved so much more than a clandestine hookup on an air mattress in a borrowed tent at Lake Laramie campgrounds."

Part of Shelley wanted to spend just one night making love with him, so she'd know what it felt like. The other half knew once would never ever be enough. And that in turn could lead to another breakup, which her heart really couldn't bear. She sensed, despite his bravado, that another ending would be just as tough on him, if only in regard to his pride.

The look Colt gave her reminded her of the way he had always liked to end a fight - with a slow, hot kiss that left her barely able to stand on two feet, never mind recall what they had been disagreeing about.

KISSING!

He smelled incredible, too. Like sandalwood, soap and leather.

Mmmmmmm, he fucking changed her flat tire like a mensch. I'm really enjoying how this man takes care of shit.

No, you're stupid. Get a lawyer immediately.

Did they just... give each other a high five?!? o.O

Okay. He was divorced five years ago. She was divorced two years ago. Her ex is named the unlikely name of "Tully Laffer." She has a two-year-old son named Austin. Of course, he's named Austin.

She was, and always had been, the woman he most wanted to bed.

Wow, gross.

She had to get to the point where Buddy was just another dog, instead of the love who had stolen Colt's heart.

??? A dog? o.O
