College
Park?”
Dare
turned
around
on
his
stool
as
other
patrons
who’d
known
Shelly
when
she
lived
in
town
hollered
out
similar
greetings.
He
had
forgotten
just
how
popular
she’d
been
with
everyone,
both
young
and
old.
That
was
one
of
the
reasons
the
entire
town
had
all
but
skinned
him
alive
when
he’d
broken
off
with
her.
A
muscle
in
his
jaw
twitched
when
he
noticed
that
a
few
of
the
guys
she’d
gone
to
school
with—Boris
Jones,
David
Wright
and
Wayland
Miller—who’d
known
years
ago
that
she
was
off
limits
because
of
him,
were
checking
her
out
now.
And
he
could
understand
why.
She
looked
pretty
damn
good,
and
she
still
had
that
natural
ability
to
turn
men
on
without
even
trying.
Blue
was
a
color
she
wore
well
and
nothing
about
that
had
changed,
he
thought,
as
his
gaze
roamed
over
the
blue
sundress
she
was
wearing.
With
thin
straps
tied
at
the
shoulders,
it
was
a
decent
length
that
stopped
right
above
her
knees
and
showed
off
long
beautiful
bare
legs
and
feet
encased
in
a
pair
of
black
sandals.
When
he
felt
his
erection
straining
against
the
crotch
of
his
pants,
he
knew
he
was
in
big
trouble.
He
was
beginning
to
feel
a
powerful
and
compelling
need
that
he
hadn’t
felt
in
a
long
time;
at
least
ten
years.
“Is
that
her,
Sheriff?
The
woman
you’ve
been
waiting
on?”
Lizzie’s
question
interrupted
Dare’s
musings.
“Yes,
