“You mentioned spending time with your friends and your dog. What about a boyfriend?”

“I’m single right now.” She flushes slightly and looks away.

I do my best not to celebrate the fact that she’s not taken by anyone. This is the best news I’ve heard all day. She’s fair game, but I’ve got to stay focused. My dick’s trying to take over, which won’t help her situation.

“What about an ex-boyfriend? Did anything happen that could have set him off?” I go out on a limb and assume she’s got at least one ex. As stunning as she is, I’m honestly shocked she’s single. I wonder why. Maybe she’s got a few screws loose. But then again, the crazy ones are little firecrackers in bed.

“Andy?”

“Is that your ex?”

“Yeah, but he’s harmless, other than being an idiot.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“He thought I posted sexy photos of myself online.” She rolls her eyes.

“But you didn’t?”

“No!” She throws me an indignant glare.“I’d never do that.”

“Could he have taken the photos without you knowing?”

“It wasn’t even me. The girl in the photos had tattoos. I don’t have any.”

“Sounds like you don’t like them.”

“They’re not for me. But I don’t care if someone else has them,” she adds quickly.“You probably have some.”

“Because I’m a biker?” I flash an amused grin.

“Yeah.”

“Well, I’m right, aren’t I?”

“Maybe.” For once, I’m glad I’m wearing sleeves. Although she claims she doesn’t mind, I don’t think she’d like my tat.“Anyway, back to the boyfriend. Who broke up with who?”

“I dumped his stupid ass.”

“Because he didn’t believe you?”

“Yeah. I changed my passwords and deleted the pics.”

“Any idea who the girl was?”

“Not a clue.”

“What about any previous boyfriends?”

“They were all jerks, but not psychos.”

“Okay.” For now, I’ll have to take her word for it. In most stalker cases, the victim knows the perpetrator. She might know who this guy is without realizing it.

“Thank you so much for helping me, but I should go home. I need to check on Loki, my dog, and I have to find a place to fix the tire in the morning. I don’t want to be late to work.”

“Call Roger at Tires and More. Tell him I sent you and he’ll make sure you get a good deal.”

“I’d appreciate that.”
