An Excerpt From
Love Undercover
by BJ McCall
“I hate meetings,” Detective Wes
Cooper muttered to his best friend and partner, Tom Jenkins.
Just thinking about sitting through another squad meeting with
his sexy new boss reminded Wes of his eighth grade year in
Miss Hollister’s English literature class. Captivated by the
beautiful redhead, he’d experienced several embarrassing
classroom moments. At thirty-seven, a public erection wasn’t
likely, but it was damn hard to concentrate on the
Lieutenant’s comments when all Wes could think about was
giving her a slow, intense strip search.
Tom checked his watch. “The
Lieutenant’s running late. Maybe she’ll cancel.”
“I can only hope.” Wes shifted his
gaze once again to the standard beige colored corridor visible
through the glass-fronted conference room. When he spied his
boss, dressed in a dark blue suit, threading her way past
uniformed officers, lawyers, and assorted police personnel
toward the conference room, Wes almost groaned.
On any other woman, a suit did
little to compliment the body, but on Lt. Forbes an ordinary
straight skirt and a double-breasted jacket took on a whole
new dimension. No matter how hard he tried, and he had, Wes
couldn’t ignore the curves filling out the fine blue wool.
How many times had he chastised
himself for looking?
Covertly, he’d watch the graceful,
fluid swing of the Lieutenant’s rounded backside as she
navigated the crowded, narrow precinct corridors. Her long,
slender legs captivated him.
At night, in his dreams, she
walked naked. If he had to have a female boss, why did she
have to be so damned sexy looking? And a green-eyed, redhead
to boot?
Like Wes, Tom’s gaze was fixed on
the new Lieutenant. “The Captain says the boss has a master’s
degree. I understand she took a bunch of classes at the FBI
school.”
“Just my luck,” Wes replied,
thinking again of the sexy, unobtainable Miss Hollister who’d
undoubtedly been responsible for his penchant for redheads. He
glanced at Tom.
“She’ll probably want to teach the
burglars to read Milton.”
“Who’s Milton?”
“Never mind.” Wes placed one
booted foot on the unoccupied chair next to his as the
Lieutenant entered the conference room and brushed past him.
For a split second her tush was a mere inch from his face. A
hint of flowery perfume lingered in her wake.
Wes could just kill the Captain
for hiring a female who put his male senses on full alert
every time he saw her.
Amanda sorted out her prepared
notes, then began. She was tempted to ask Wes Cooper to remove
his booted foot from the chair directly to her immediate left,
but as usual he sat there, his unsettling blue gaze fastened
on her.
Fearless and cool when it counted,
the good looking detective was too provocative for Amanda to
ignore.
His startling silver-blue eyes
enchanted her. His western style of dress and long-legged
swagger had captured Amanda’s attention and fueled her
imagination. Whenever he was near, her concentration suffered,
making her uncomfortably aware of how long it had been since
she’d felt the caress of a lover’s hands on her bare skin, the
lustful brush of lips across her breasts or the heated thrust
of an erection between her legs.
