I’m fine.”
    Instead of letting me scoot back Jason keeps me firmly pressed to his chest. I try to move my head to look around Jason to find where the smell is coming from. Jason smells good but he doesn’t smell that damn good.
    The scent of Jasmine and vanilla are assaulting my senses making it damn near impossible to concentrate on anything else. I inhale deeply trying to get more of the smell into me. I can’t figure out where it’s coming from.
    Jason drops his head down into the curve of my neck where neck and should meet. He takes a deep breath and nuzzles me. I lean my head into him. Between the intoxicating scent and close contact of Jason I start to feel heat travel down my body right between my legs. I discreetly rub my thighs together and lean closer into Jason and oh shit did I just moan.
    Jason grabs my arm and drags me out to the balcony away from the crowd. Once outside He spins around to face me. He grabs my face with both hands and leans into me. A hairs breadth away from my lips he says, “God you smell so good.”
    I can't say anything. I know he’s about to kiss me. I’m not even sure I want it to happen but right at this moment I can’t seem to think one coherent thought. So I do the only thing I can manage, I lean my head back, raise up on the tip of my toes to welcome his kiss.
    Just as his lips are about to touch mine his damn phone rings. He still has a hold of my face but instead of his eyes closed and him about to kiss me, he’s staring at me with all his lustful emotions playing in his eyes.
    “Shit!” he yell whispers. He steps away from me and answer his phone his eyes never leaving mine. I’m not sure what the conversation is about because all Jason is saying is yep’s, uh huh’s, alright’s, and we’re on our way.
    He snaps his phone shut, re pockets it, and we just stare at each other. It seemed like we were like that for hours but I know it was only a mere second. “We got to go. We have another crime scene.” He seems remorseful or is it disappointment. If anyone should be disappointed it should be me. My almost first real kiss was just brutally interrupted. Wait why am I disappointed about almost kissing Jason. And why am I acting like a horny teenager. We can’t be kissing we work together for Christ sake.
    We don’t say a word to each other as we walk out of the ball. The valet guy pulls up in a Maserati as we step outside. I look at the car then look at Jason. I look back at the car again then put my full attention into Jason.
    “So tell me, how much do you get paid?”
    He rolls his eyes and opens my door. “Just get in the car. Save your mouth for another day we don’t have time.”
    “Well you don’t have to be an ass about it. It was just a question.”
    He rubs the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger, “Jessi, get in the car we don’t have time for this.”
    I harrumph and scurried inside the car. I buckle up and cross my arms over my chest. I may be throwing a minor hissy fit but what do you expect, the guy almost kisses me then turns into a world class ass and won’t even talk to me other than “Jessi get in the car”. I mean really what is up with that.

    We got the call from dispatch so we know we are going to be first on scene for once. Usually the locals are called in first, and then they call us feds. Whatever the neighbor seen or heard must have been bad for dispatch to call us directly. So far all we know is we are heading to another preternaturals house. Not sure what kind but I guess we’ll find out when we get there.
    We traveled for about 20 minutes headed further east away from civilization out into the farm lands and ranches. We pull off the highway onto a dirt road that seemed to go on forever. Jason is still giving me the silent treatment. Not sure why. If he’s mad about the almost kiss then he shouldn’t be, he’s the one that initiated it in the first place.
    By the time we pull up to the
