“Well, Sheriff, someone waited until Ms. Delaney exited the premises and broke inside, taking various items that she’s currently listing for me. She was just going over the bedroom items. You were saying about your underwear drawer?”
She could feel her cheeks heat, and she had a sudden nervous urge to reach for something unhealthy but oh-so-tasty. She’d left emotional eating behind long ago though, so instead, she inhaled deeply and answered, “No valuables missing from the drawer, just the,” she cleared her throat again, “contents.”
Both men went still, their faces frozen, mouths open and for the briefest of moments, Quentin’s gaze roamed down her body and back up, lingering in a couple places.
Thank you to those who return week after week. I look forward to reading all the snippets from such talented authors.

Really enjoying this story as it unfolds. Genius to have the lingerie get stolen. Excellent excerpt yet again!

Gulp! Am enjoying this one. Looking forward to seeing what the lads say when they recover their breath!
I bet the "contents" were interesting
Great six!
Missing "contents" sounds like the beginning of something very sexy! ;-)
OMG - that was so funny but I was cringeing for the poor girl! And Quentin's reaction - priceless! Great job, Cherie :)
