her shoulders.
    “Oh, that feels so good.” Taleena moaned as the tension begin
to ebb. “How did you know?” She leaned her head back and closed her eyes.
    “Used to do this for my girl and my mama.” Caleb stroked with sure but soft presses on the knotted muscles causing her
migraine.
    “ Mmmm .” She
dropped her guard and relaxed.
    Caleb began massaging her temples. “The guys wanna know if
you’re available to date.”
    “Why?”
    “Well, after the work party, do you honestly have to ask
that?”
    “All I did was dress up.” Taleena tilted her head to the
side. “That feels wonderful. Your ladies are lucky to have you.”
    “You did more than dress up, girl. You came out of your shell.
Damn sexy of you to do that.”
    “So now that I’m sexy, people want a date—Oh yeah…right
there…” She squeaked just as Jason opened the door with their goods.
    “You two need some privacy, or are you on duty?” Jason
snapped and slid into the back with their cargo.
    “Sorry, sir. I’ll log it in and call
out our departure.” Caleb exited.
    Taleena clenched her lips tight and watched from the back as
Brandt climbed in the driver’s seat with Caleb in the passenger’s side. She
heard their muffled speech but couldn’t decipher what they were saying. All she
noticed was the smell of Jason’s cologne and the sound of his haggard
breathing. “What’s your problem, Jason?”
    He locked in the cargo and took the seat opposite her, anger
riding in his eyes. “You let him feel you up?”
    “It’s none of your business,” Taleena snapped. She wasn’t
about to tell him he was the cause of her distress or that Caleb took away her
pain, if only for a few minutes.
    “Damn that. Anything and everything, especially on company
time, is my business.”
    “And off?” she taunted.
    “We’ll discuss that, later.” He sat back. “Buckle up, we’re
departing.”
    She secured her seatbelt and sighed. “You have no right, not
after you just left.”
    Jason leaned forward.”I’m sorry I left you.” He sat back and
snapped his own. “Trust me, if we weren’t in this truck and on company time,
I’d show you.”His harsh stare out the windshield and white-knuckled grip made
her question pushing him to his breaking point.
    “Tonight, then.” God, what a wuss she was. I’m
sorry and chocolate eyes begging for a second chance, and she was sucked
right back in. At least she took it that way, although he didn’t look like the
begging type. She needed to justify her quick forgiveness.
    “Tonight it is.”

    Dayum. Sweat dribbled down Jason’s back, and
Taleena couldn’t avert her fixation on his body. The drop of the ball hitting
the hot pavement did little to distract her from following the sweat gathering
between his flexing shoulder blades. The moisture’s path down his lower back
brought a sigh out of her lips. What she really wanted to do was play towel
girl, using her tongue to lick him dry. With a sigh, she watched him land a
three point shot. She turned her gaze to Donato begrudgingly
appreciating how well he countered her man for every move.
    Then her brain went from him playing basketball to the night
of their big blowup. Nothing turned her on more than the memory of him getting
her home and proceeding to show her just how well he could apologize.

 
    Fresh roses stood in a beautiful blown-glass vase. He’d placed candles
all over her apartment and cooked her favorite dish. She was touched he’d gone
that far in his apology, but it didn’t stop there. He’d turned her living room
into a massage parlor and brought out the glow in her skin by using his hands,
lips and cock—and after he’d brought her mind-blowing pleasure, he’d asked her
to be his woman. No engagement ring just yet…not after
just one night, instead a beautiful start to a new relationship.

 
    Now, sitting in the gym, she realized a membership was by far
the best perk of her job. Taleena took a drink from
