    “At this moment, neither do I.” Jake laughed and followed Sam to
    the parking lot.
    Sam threw the keys at Jake while they tried to catch up with
    Triala’s fast gait. “I think you should drive, and I’ll sit in the back.
    Give her some space.”
    “Good idea.”

    Triala waited for them at the beginning of the parking lot and
    scanned the area. “So which is your car?”
    Jake headed for Sam’s black Camaro and opened the passenger
    door for her. “My lady,” he said with a grin and a gesture she should
    sit down.
    She smiled at him for the first time since they met, and his heart
    skipped a beat. She looked pretty when she was serious, but her smile
    was divine. She was no doubt the most beautiful woman he had ever
    seen.
    Jake headed over to the driver’s side and took his seat. When Sam
    sat in the back, Triala didn’t seem to take notice. Yeah, the tension
    between these two was still thick. Hopefully, Sam could figure a way
    to break through that wall he unintentionally built up between them
    soon, otherwise they’d have to alter their plans, and fast.
    When he went to change the shift gear, Jake couldn’t help but
    notice her dress rode up her thigh and rested way above her garters.
    Man, she had the sexiest, longest legs ever. What he wouldn’t do to
    have them wrapped around his waist as she straddled him while they
    made passionate love.
    His cock stiffened in his tight pants, and he tried to draw his
    attention away. Lighting a wet match would have been easier than
    keeping his eyes on the road rather than on the gorgeous view next to
    him.
    “Nice car,” she said, breaking the silence after five minutes.
    “Thanks,” Sam said.
    “I thought it was Jake’s.” She glanced in the rearview mirror at
    him.
    “No, I have an old Ford Focus. Sam’s the man who’s into fast
    cars.”
    “Fast cars and fast women?” she asked with a daring expression.
    Jake could see in the rearview mirror that Sam had a serious
    expression as he stared at her. “Do they usually go hand and hand?”
    his partner asked.

    “Usually, yes.”
    Jake noted the frown forming on Sam’s face and worried he’d say
    something that would make her hate him even more.
    Before his partner had a chance to screw things up further with
    her tonight, Jake butted in. “Not in Sam’s case. He just likes fast
    cars.”
    “Interesting.” Her brow lifted. She turned her attention to Jake.
    “And what about you?”
    He chuckled as he kept his eyes on the road. “Are you asking if I
    like fast cars or fast women?”
    “Both,” she replied.
    “Neither. I like my Ford Focus just fine, and I’m a widower.” He
    glanced at her with the ending of his sentence.
    “I’m so sorry,” she said with sad eyes.
    “Thanks. She died three years ago of breast cancer.” He paused a
    moment as he concentrated on changing lanes. “What about you,
    Triala?”
    “I like fast cars,” she joked.
    “What about a significant other?” Sam asked.
    “No, my life is too complicated for that. Being a Voyeur Scout is
    dangerous work and my only passion for now.”
    She stared out the side window. Even though Jake couldn’t see
    her eyes, he noted her jaw clenching. He figured it meant she was
    unhappy and lonely. At least he hoped that was what it meant.
    Glancing in his rearview mirror at the car behind him, he caught a
    glimpse of Sam’s grin. Son of a gun, his partner was actually falling
    for the werewolf. No wonder he was at a loss for the right words
    around her. It was finally great to see his friend take a serious interest
    in the opposite sex. Since Sam’s father died two years ago, Sam had a
    couple of one- night stands and never wanted to commit to anyone or
    anything.
    He couldn’t blame him since Sam’s fiancée had dumped him for
    her rich boss right when his father got really sick. That, and his
