Justice for Mackenzie (Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes, #1) QUOTES

1 " Mackenzie shoved her hand through the small opening of the door and said, “ID please.” Dax chuckled, not offended in the least. “Good girl.” He reached behind him, took his wallet out from his pocket, pulled out his driver’s license and put it into Mackenzie’s outstretched hand. “There you go.” Mackenzie looked down at the plastic card in her hand. Daxton Chambers. Forty-six years old. Six feet one and two hundred thirty pounds. She gulped. Damn, almost a hundred pounds heavier than she was. She went to hand it back and dropped it. “Shit, sorry.” Dax just laughed quietly and kneeled down to pick up the license. “No problem.” Mackenzie held out her hand again. “Ranger ID now, please.” Dax smiled even more broadly. “Damn, woman.” Mackenzie faltered a bit, but bravely said, “IDs are easy to fake nowadays, I just want to make sure.” “Oh, I wasn’t complaining. No fucking way. I’m pleased as hell you don’t trust me. I’d be more worried if you did. Good thinking. Here you go.” Dax held out his Texas Ranger badge that he’d pulled from his other pocket. “I don’t go anywhere without it, just in case. "

2 " We’ve got it under control, but in the meantime I need you to be smart and safe. Okay, Mack? Don’t be one of those ‘too stupid to live’ women you bitch about in those romances you read. Be safe. Be alert. Don’t leave work for lunch or on breaks. Wait in your office for TJ to come inside for you. All right? Can you do that for me? "

3 " Daxton, you think a pair of pants would really prevent me from taking you in this chair and riding you until we were both piles of goo if I really wanted to? "

4 " I gotta say, this has to be one of the most fascinating phone calls I’ve ever had with a woman "

5 " He hadn’t been this interested in a woman since…well, in a really long time. Mackenzie was cute as hell and he knew she wasn’t even trying to be. That was what drew him in the most. "

6 " He hadn’t planned on asking her out, but there was no way he could sit there and listen to how incredibly adorable she was, rambling on about nail polish and how clumsy she was and not ask her out. "

7 " One time in my early twenties, I thought I was all that and a bag of chips. I sauntered into the bedroom, completely naked, ready to impress my girlfriend, and she took one look at me and started laughing hysterically. I had no idea what she was laughing at. She couldn’t even breathe, she was laughing so hard. I lost my erection and went back into the bathroom to put my pants back on, humiliated. It wasn’t until I was removing the condom that I’d put on in preparation of our night that I noticed it was glowing. I’d accidentally grabbed one of the novelty condoms I’d picked up at a bar earlier that month. I’d walked into the bedroom ready to impress her, with a glow stick attached to my body. "

8 " It’s Dax. You can call me Dax.”

“Is it a deal breaker?”

“Is what a deal breaker?”

“I like Daxton. I don’t know; you don’t look like a Dax. Not that I’ve ever met anyone named Dax or Daxton before though. You’ll have to tell me how you got that name. That’s another reason why I figured you were who you said you were. No one would call himself Daxton if he was using a fake name to get a woman to date him. He’d call himself John Smith or something. Not some sexy-as-hell name like Daxton fucking Chambers.”

Mackenzie looked up at the strangled sound Daxton was making. “Fucking hell. Sorry.”

“Do you know, I’ve laughed more in the last twenty minutes than I have in the last week? Don’t be sorry. And yes, you can call me Daxton. "

9 " Why?” Even as Dax asked, he knew he’d get an earful. Sometimes he purposefully asked her things that he knew she’d ramble on about because he loved to hear her talk. "

10 " I’ll always worry about you. Every moment you’re not in my arms, I worry. I’ll worry about a short trip to the store, or a simple walk to the mailboxes because I’ve seen too much shit in my life. I’ll try to curb it, but you should know I’m going to be über-protective. Probably annoyingly so. "

11 " Dax shuffled to the next photos. They’d been taken off-scene: the inside lid of the box had claw marks on it, showing how desperately the woman had fought for her life, the inside of the coffin, the picture taken after the woman’s body had been removed, showing body-fluid stains and an empty water bottle. "

12 " I like ‘just’ you, Mackenzie. At least what I’ve seen and heard so far. We’ll go out and see what happens. I promise I won’t propose tomorrow if you won’t jump my bones in the parking lot. Deal?” Mackenzie "
