Page 72 of Flirting With Fire

Dex kissed me, took the travel cup I handed him, and smiled a little as he eyed me. “See you later.”

I kissed him again, infusing a lot more heat into our kiss. Then I shooed him out the door before we forgot about our day and kissed our way back into bed.

An hour later, I wandered into the firehouse, as usual greeted by Curly, and also Moe, a small calico cat who’d walked into the firehouse one day and made himself at home. Curly and Moe were the best of friends. I was kinda worried what the third arrival would be. There had to be a Larry, didn’t there? I hoped he wouldn’t be a llama.

I greeted Garcia and Pérez who were checking the ambulance. “Morning.”

Garcia looked at me, then squinted. “Hey Chief, you’ve got something white on your cheek. It looks like a mouth.”

And that’s when I remembered the toothpaste kiss and Dex’s smile as he went out the door. My evil boyfriend had failed to remind me about the imprint on my cheek. Oh, Dex was in so much trouble now.

Thank you for joining us in the quirky town of Charming Butte.

Of course, the loving doesn’t stop with Meyer and Dex.

Now there's a new sheriff in town. What dastardly secrets will he uncover?
