calm her down. “The only thing I regret is not taking
it slow like I planned. But once I saw you, touched you, I just couldn’t stop.
You drive me crazy. I was just surprised by the offer. I didn’t expect it. I
want to stay and not just for sex. I’ve been tempted with pictures and stories
about you for too long to just hit it and run. I want to get to know you firsthand
through my own experiences with you. Not based on what your brother said. I
think we might have something special. I want to see where it takes us. I’m not
promising forever right now but ever since I saw your picture you’ve called to
me. I’ve told you that much already. Hell, even when I was in a relationship
with someone else I couldn’t stop thinking about you. Now that I have you
within reach I’m not letting go without a damn good reason. That okay with
you?”
    Corrine searched his face
for the truth. The only thing she saw was definite interest and arousal. She
was okay with getting to know him better. She wasn’t looking for forever
either. Didn’t think she’d ever really find it anyway. “That’s fine with me
Jett. You just freaked me out a little when you got that look on your face.
Let’s head back to the house, warm up a bit and grab a bite to eat. I’m
starving for some reason.” Smiling she reached back to grab his wrist, pealing
it off her back before tugging him toward the house.
    “What was your plan for
tonight anyway? You said things went faster than you were thinking. Plus, you
got here pretty late for a date.” She slipped her hand into his, threading
their fingers together. The rightness of being connected to him in this simple
way settled in her bones.
    “No real plan actually. I
just couldn’t go through the weekend without seeing you. I saw the note posted
that the bakery would be closed for the weekend and figured if I saw you
tonight we could make plans together. Spend the whole weekend with each other—hopefully.”
    Corrine snorted. “Great non-plan there. What would you have done
if I’d already had something lined up for tonight? Or been on a date even?”
    Chuckling Jett pulled her
against his side draping his arm across shoulders, her free hand landing on his
rock solid chest as he laughed. “When I mentioned I was interested in you, your
friend Kacie let me in on a few things. She told me you never go out,
especially on dates. She thought it was terrible you planned on staying cooped
up in the house with no one around. She thought you should be out having fun.”
    “That’s what you two were
talking about? I got the impression you were flirting with her, and that you
were interested in her and were going to ask her out. That’s what most of the
guys who come into the shop do.”
    He placed a finger on her
mouth to stop her from talking then planted a soft kiss on her lips. “Never
kitten. She isn’t my type. Too skinny and fragile looking. I prefer women with curves I can explore and a woman who is strong in mind and
body.”
    “Sure you do,” she said a
little too sarcastically. “What’s wrong with hanging out at home and relaxing.
I’m not some crazy cat lady you know. Plus, it isn’t like I was going to be
alone the whole weekend anyway.”
    He chuckled softly. “I
know. I’m here now.”
    “Ha! Ha! Funny man. I
wasn’t talking about you. Sam called this morning to let me know he was popping
in for a visit. It was a last minute decision I guess and he’ll be here later…
well later this morning.”
      Corrine leaned in for one more kiss then forced herself to
lean away from all of his tempting flesh. She had an urge to bite and mark,
which was not good considering those urges fell in the mating category.
    When he didn’t respond she
looked at his face. Lips clamped shut and turned down at the corners, his jaw
clenched and unclenched. The once tight grip on her loosened and his back
stiffened. The muscles bulging in his arms and chest turned rigid with tension.
    Damn, I
