car is stolen with my suitcase in it.”
    “Oh, sorry. I didn’t know.”
    Ty took a sip of his coffee and leaned against the counter. “I just hope they find the car and my suitcase soon or I’ll be doing some shopping.”
    Once he finished speaking, Evan realized Ty was staring at her over his coffee cup. Those green eyes seemed to read so much, to stare right though her, picking up her innermost thoughts and doubts. Turning back to the coffeepot, she murmured, “Why don’t you sit down and I’ll make us some breakfast.”
    “Got something on your mind?”
    “What?” she asked as she turned back to see his dark eyebrow elevated in amusement.
    A flush stole over her cheeks at his reminder she’d told him she cooked when she was mulling over something. “I’m just hungry. I figured feeding you is the least I can do for you allowing me to stay here.”
    The look in Ty’s eyes shifted and the green color turned darker. “I look forward to tasting what you offer up,” he said in a husky tone before he turned and sat down at the table.
    “Just sit tight. I’ll have breakfast done in no time,” she said in a bright voice. Her heart racing, Evan turned back to the stove and withdrew the skillet from the drawer below. The man was just too sexy for words. God, he was way out of her league. She was insane to think she’d have anything to offer him. Sure, she knew her own body, but she was inexperienced when it came to knowing what a man wanted…well, other than to get off as fast as he possibly could. Was that written in a how-to-be-a-man manual somewhere?
    She opened the fridge and retrieved the bacon, then laid a few pieces of meat in the hot skillet, her mind whirling. But the good part was…if she made a fool of herself, Ty wouldn’t be around to remind her of it. No matter how tense she felt over bringing the subject up with Ty, she refused to talk herself out of this idea. While she turned the bacon with a fork, she felt even more certain Ty was perfect—in every since of the word. The man obviously wanted to pursue something with her. She’d be a fool not to take him up on it.
    Once she’d set the cooked bacon on a napkin-lined plate, Evan pulled out the carton of eggs from the fridge and cracked a few eggs in the pan. While she scrambled the eggs with a spatula, her confidence built. She knew she was making the right decision.
    After she’d placed the plate and silverware in front of him, Ty picked up his fork and dug into the food with gusto, commenting, “I don’t usually eat such a large breakfast.”
    Evan sat down across from him with her own plate and utensils. She picked up her fork. “Me either. I’m usually too busy.”
    “With your job?” Ty asked as he popped a forkful of eggs into his mouth.
    She took a bite of her bacon and nodded.
    After he swallowed, Ty tilted his head to the side, contemplating her. “Why don’t you go back to school and get your vet license? Then you can open up your own business.”
    That was the second time he mentioned she strive to own the veterinary business. He seemed really bothered by the fact she deserved more out of her job, that she wasn’t working to her full potential. Then again, from his comments to her about her own career, Ty appeared to be the type of man who worked hard, strove to be at the top of the ladder, no matter the odds. She’d lay money on the fact he owned his own business.
    “So what do you do?”
    Ty picked up a piece of bacon and bit into it. “I’m part owner of an architecture firm in Maryland.”
    Bingo! “Ah, I was right.”
    His brow creased. “About what?”
    She smiled. “That you’re a very driven, career-minded person.”
    “And that’s a bad thing?”
    “Not at all. I was just making a comment.”
    “You’re right. I’m very driven to reach my goals.” His voice dropped to a seductive purr. “In every aspect in my life.”
    She couldn’t miss the sexual connotation of his tone. Well, this was as good
