her out. Devi slid closer to him and made a ‘come hither’ motion with her finger. Rhodes bent his head.
    “I would come to bed with cocoa-butter-lotioned bare skin. Invite me officially for a sleepover some time, and I’ll let you put the cocoa butter on me before bed.”
    Devi smirked and sauntered away. Rhodes frowned, wondering how she’d known what he had been thinking.
    “Maybe I said it out loud,” he whispered.
    The sway of her ass in her shorts scattered his thoughts. He went after her. Catching up, he placed his hand on the small of her back, glaring at the men who had been closing in on her. In the ticket line he kept an eye on the men who seemed to be watching her too intently. Glancing at Devi, he noted that she was looking behind them.
    “What are you looking at?” He turned to see.
    Devi gripped his arm. “Nothing. We’re next.”
    Rhodes paid for their tickets. They went in and started to explore. As they did, he enjoyed his conversation with Devi. Her laughter often spilt between them.
    Much later, back in the SUV and heading home, Rhodes marvelled at the great time they’d had.
    “I think your nephew and niece will love going there. You should also take them to Seven Falls, Garden of the Gods Park, and the Peterson Air and Space Museum. When are they coming for a visit?”
    “I had planned on the Caves and the park, but I’ll add the others too. They’ll be coming in about a month. They’re coming up a week before Ria and her hubby. Uncle gets to spoil them until they arrive. Will you come with us to see the sights?” Rhodes asked.
    “I’d love to, but I might have to work.”
    “We can arrange it around your schedule,” he offered.
    “Okay. Then that sounds great,” Devi replied.
    Rhodes smiled, content with the plan.

    “You have to go to work.” Devi pulled out of his arms.
    “I’d rather stay with you.”
    “I would, too, but work now—play later. Now go.” Devi made a shooing motion with her hand.
    Rhodes stepped back and closed the door to her Land Cruiser. They had spent the weekend together. On Sunday they hadn’t even left the house. Instead, they’d watched TV and cuddled on the couch. He was getting used to having Devi around.
    She rolled down her window. “Get going. I don’t want you to be late.”
    “Bossy, bossy,” he teased.
    “And you know it. I’m really bossy when it comes to how lotion is spread on my skin, too. I’ll show you how I like it later,” she promised.
    His cock hardened. “Now how am I supposed to go to work, wanting you like this?” He gestured to his tented pants.
    “You’ll be fine. Now go. I’ll meet you at six for our run,” Devi said.
    “Okay.” He walked over to his Jeep Cherokee.
    Rhodes couldn’t wait to see what she would be wearing. He had become obsessed with her clothing—or lack thereof. He waved at Devi. She beeped her horn and drove away.
    He frowned as a black Tundra pulled out right behind her. Then his cell phone rang, distracting him.
    “Hello.” He tapped his Bluetooth as he pulled out into the street.
    “Uncle.” His nephew Constantinos’ voice came over the line.
    “How are you, C-man?” Rhodes smiled.
    He listened as his nephew filled him in. He spoke with his niece, Calida, then his sister. They finalised their plans for the kids coming, then her and her husband. They disconnected just as he parked. Then he hurried inside. He received his packages for delivery and went to his truck.
    “Hey, Rhodes,” Dave said.
    He stopped, waiting for his friend to catch up. Once he had, they each pushed their respective bundles towards their trucks.
    “Saw you the other night at The Bistro with that fine-looking doctor,” Dave said.
    “I didn’t see you. Why didn’t you come say hi?” Rhodes frowned, wondering how Dave knew Devi was a doctor.
    “Didn’t want to intrude. You looked busy,” Dave said.
    “We were having dinner.” Rhodes shrugged.
    “I could see that. I didn’t even
