Page 39 of Trace's Passion
Emery nodded and filled out the paperwork that she needed to and when she was done, Trace walked in the station wearing a dark blue uniform and her mouth went dry.
He was looking down at a paper in his hand, so he hadn’t seen her yet, but he looked up to smile at Stacy and when he locked eyes with her, his eyes went hot and he grinned at her and came around the desk and kissed her.
She laughed after he did so, “I don’t think kissing your co-worker is allowed.”
Stacy snorted, “He certainly wouldn’t kiss Brek, Scott or me. But I can see it being a regular thing now.”
She smiled, and Trace nodded, “I can definitely see it being a thing now.”
Then he kissed her again, “Come find me when you have time for lunch okay?”
She nodded and he turned to them both, “I need to do some rounds this morning and Scott will be in the office for today. Brek will be back to work tomorrow.”
Stacy gave him a salute, “Okay. Have fun, we will let you know if you are needed anywhere today.”
Trace gave them a nod, kissed her one last time and put his hat on his head, covering his dark hair, but making that one long piece fall on his forehead.
She leaned up and brushed it back, like she had longed to do and then kissed him. “Be safe.”
He smiled and walked out of the station to his cruiser.
Stacy laughed, “Girl you have it bad, don’t you?”
She nodded, “So bad. I never knew a man like him existed, you know?”
Stacy laughed, “Oh, I know. My husband is the same. He came out of nowhere and used his charm on me, and bam, I’m his now.”
Emery raised her eyebrow, “I didn’t know you were married. I mean, I only met you yesterday, but Trace never told me much. How long have you been married?”
Stacy held up her hand to show off a round diamond ring on her finger, “We got married just a few days ago. He didn’t want to wait any longer. Not that he has anything to worry about with me working around Brek or Trace. They have always been like brothers to me, but he is possessive that way.”
Emery smiled, “Wow. That is so exciting. Congratulations.”
Stacy grinned, “Thanks. I'm also expecting.”
Emery squealed and jumped up and down, “Congratulations! Oh! I am so happy for you.”
Stacy smiled and Emery gave her a soft hug, “Thanks Emery. That means a lot.”
Scott came in and smiled at the girls and Stacy introduced him to her. He held out his hand and shook it.
Scott looked like he was in his early 40’s, and she knew he had retired from the police force but didn’t know why. Trace hadn’t told her.
He was a good-looking man. Trim, with a nicely shaped beard on his face that was laced with salt and pepper.
He had dark hair that was greying at the temples and kind brown eyes.
He tipped his hat to the girls and walked around the desk, pulling Stacy to his side and dipping her low, before kissing her breathless.
Emery felt her jaw drop open, and when he stood Stacy back up, she was blushing.
Stacy gave Scott a light swat on his arm, “I just gave Trace a hard time about him kissing Emery at work. You're gonna start now too?”
Scott shrugged, “I haven’t had much time to kiss my new wife. What do you expect? Besides, Trace doesn’t care. As obvious. I saw him kissing his girl. I can’t kiss mine?”
Stacy let out a small sigh that was almost a swoon and melted into his large arms. “You certainly can. Why are you so charming?”
Scott grinned down at her, a head taller than them both, and said, “You give me a reason. I will be in my office doing paperwork if you need me. Pleasure to meet you Emery. Trace has told me great things.”
