Heath smiled. That wasn't the response he was expecting, but he definitely appreciated her sassiness. He raised his brow. "It caught your attention. But the word stalking would imply that I have been harassing you, when in fact this is the first time I've seen you in a year."

"Has it been that long?" She didn't wait for an answer. "If you wanted my attention, a phone call would have sufficed." She chewed on her bottom lip.

He noticed her tightened muscles going lax. "I wanted to make an impression."

Cadie flicked the safety back on the gun, removed the holster from her body then placed it and her weapon on the table. "You've succeeded and made a lasting one by scaring the crap out of me. Let's cut to the chase. What do you want?"

"It's a bit more complicated than what I want. It has to do more with what has to be done. A lengthy explanation would be required."

She arched her eyebrow, a smirk crossing her luscious lips. "Care to elaborate?"

"I don't think you'll like the outcome."

"I doubt I will. But feel free to take a shot at it."

He smiled. "At my own pace."

"You purposely being obtuse?"

He was so turned on at this point that if she weren't in the room, he would have taken out his cock for some relief. Hell, masturbating in front of her didn't seem like a bad idea as long as it relieved the pressure. It would sure get a reaction out of her. "Is that a compliment?"

Cadie shrugged. "You're a big boy. You can figure that one out on your own. You're obviously here for an important reason. From what I could tell when I first met you, you seem to be a focused man, but that in itself can be your downfall. Because you also appear to be the type of man that takes action first, and ask questions later, hence the breaking and entering. Whether I like the reason why you're here or not won't deter you from any decisions you'd have to make or have already made. And I put heavy emphasis on already made, since I've pegged you for the dominant type. But let me warn you ahead of time, the ‘I am he-man' attitude isn't going to work with me. So get to the explaining part."
