Hayden: Taken By the Arresting Officer ~ Sweet Sreamy Romance

By Paige Ryland

 

Why Did the Arresting Officer Have to Be So HOT?!

 

When a handsome but 'strictly by the books' cop pulls me over for speeding, I realize I'm going to have a bad day no matter how much I'd love for him to take me in his strong arms and have his way with me.

 

Fantasies aside, things get worse when he informs me that I wasn't only going way over the speed limit, my car has been reported stolen as well!

 

I'm holding out for a happy ending, but right now it looks like I'm being taken into custody. Wish I could say at least I'm going to get to spend more time with gorgeous police officer Hayden Morgan… but I can't shake the feeling it won't be the quality time I crave.

 

Maybe I can find a way to turn this to my advantage. I can't wait to see his face when he finds out who my father is!

DAMN! It was going to be one of those days, I thought as I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw the blue lights flashing. I could hear the siren over the music on the radio. I had been listening to one of my favorite songs Here's Where the Story Ends by The Sundays. I was bopping along with the music while I lip- synced the words. Maybe that's why he was pulling me over? I worried. Surely not! I hoped, feeling a flush of embarrassment.

Moving over into the right lane, I watched – my heart pounding – as the police car followed me. Aww! Why was this happening? I wondered as I looked at the speedometer. I was sure of one thing: I had not been speeding. What was the officer's problem? I had a feeling I was about to find out as I pulled my car off the shoulder of the road, trying to pull my seatbelt across my shoulder as inconspicuously as possible.

Turning off the engine, I kept my hands wrapped around the steering wheel. I could feel my palms sweating as he parked behind me. I tried not to stare through the rear view mirror because I was afraid he would see me and think I was some kind of nut, but I couldn't help watching through my side view mirror as his car door swung open and the officer stepped out. His wide brimmed hat was pulled down over his eyes, so I couldn't really see his face that well. But there was no missing his hard body. His build was tall and muscular, his shoulders were wide and his hips looked sexy in his snug trousers. Yep, pretty much a hunky beefcake. Nice eye candy – but I wished it were under better circumstances. Oh well, just my luck he'd be a drop dead gorgeous officer. Being pulled over I would have been reduced to a babbling idiot as it was, especially since I wasn't even sure why I was being stopped, but with Officer Sex Appeal, I would have my nerves completely wracked.

Oh well, here goes, I thought as he started towards my car. Before he said anything, he pushed his hat back to reveal a ruggedly handsome face. His eyes were warm, a friendly green, and framed by short, spiky lashes. His lips were full and inviting, the kind I wanted to kiss . . . for hours, I thought, and his jaw was strong, tight, his skin a healthy, gorgeous bronze . . . There was a deep cleft in his square chin that made his face look strong, like it was carved from stone. Under better circumstances, I would have been tempted to run my tongue along that sexy indention, to let my lips feel the slow growth of stubble along his tight jaw. Mmm, he was dreamy, I must admit. Damn, I was glad he couldn't read my mind!

Miss, can I have you step out of the car?

Ooh, even his voice was sexy, deep and so manly it
