caught her husband watching her intently, wearing a frown on his face. “Don’t give me that look, Charles,” she stated with a sigh.
    “Come, love.” He gently coaxed her over to his waiting arms, bringing her down to perch on his lap. “Let’s wait and give this a chance, Rosetta,” Charles soothed, as he brought her close against him for a hug. “There is no sense in speculating and getting worked up for nothing. Besides, I really would like to meet this girl who has finally turned our Kevin’s head.” He gently kissed his wife, as she placed her head on his shoulder.
    “I know you are right, love, but I still worry. She has a tremendous amount of baggage, and that will take some time to overcome.” Rosetta stopped for just a moment in thought. “Every time I think of her, I get the strongest feeling she is his mate. Maybe it is just my wishful thinking,” she paused and smiled up at her husband. “Every mother wants their son to find their one true love.”
    “I know, sweetheart. We do need to remember that he is a grown adult, perfectly capable of making his own decisions. Besides, I find myself very intrigued about this young woman. I think your instincts of her being his mate are correct, I am just not sure if Kevin is ready to admit to it yet. Only time will tell. For now, we need to sit back and let them both know they have our support,” Charles gently replied. “She has been through a tremendous amount of abuse, and that alone will take a lot of TLC to see her through.”
    “Charles, I agree with you completely! I just worry about each of them. She must be very scared and vulnerable at this point, and I think our son has already lost his heart to her. It will break my heart if either one ends up getting hurt.”
    “Rosetta, have faith in our son and in the power of nature. If she is truly his mate, then she won’t be able to not fall in love with him.” If Rosetta was planning on discussing this situation with her husband any further, she was to be disappointed. Charles leaned down and caught her lips with his in a kiss that soon left her breathless. “I love it when you become passionate about a subject,” he quietly stated against her lips with a wicked smile. Passion was exactly what he had in mind at the given moment, and he would hear no arguments on that subject from his wife, as she wrapped her arms around his neck and met his kiss with her own.

    Kevin pulled up in front of the VCTF office and parked the car. He was over at Erica’s door, gently helping her out in a flash. As they entered the office, two heads popped up and gave the couple an inquisitive look. Kevin placed his hand at the small of Erica’s back and quickly steered her toward the rear of the building and down a hallway. As they passed, Kevin called out a, “Hey, Marshall,” to the guy sitting on the right. They continued down the hallway, all the way to the medical room set up in the back of the office complex.
    The medical room was empty, and that was to be expected. Rarely was the room ever needed. However, there had been a few occasions in the past that had made it necessary to have a medical room set up.
    He continued steering Erica to the very back of the room, where the X-ray machine stood. He finally stopped as they reached a chair, and she glanced over at him for a moment with an odd expression on her face.
    Looking around and realizing they were alone, Erica asked in a trembling voice, “Who is going to take the X-rays?”
    Kevin gave her a slight smile that he hoped calmed her. “I will.”
    “I thought you were an undercover cop? Now you are telling me you are an X-ray technician also?”
    “We only occasionally have use for this equipment. It is easier and far less expensive for our team to have medical training than to try to have a technician available every time we need one. I am a certified technician, Erica. You are safe, I promise. I will take good care of you.”
    Knowing she was getting more nervous by the minute, he quickly turned and walked over to a stack of gowns and handed her the top one. Deciding a professional, unattached approach would be the best way to calm her, he stated, “You’ll need to remove your bra. The metal tends to cause problems with the pictures.” She blushed slightly, and he quickly headed out the door to give her privacy.
    Kevin returned to the room moments later. She had removed both shirt and pants, and the gown she was now wearing
